Breakdown of how Floyd Ducked Margarito....

Please show how that is false.

“Cotto needs a couple more tune-ups. Right now he’s a little too green,” Mayweather said.

Those words come from a man with few other options if: A) His legal situation puts him on ice; or, B) Main Events uses the legal situation to protect Gatti’s burgeoning franchise from the risk of a Mayweather fight.

First up for Mayweather is Bruseles, a 21-2-1 (13) native of Caguas, Puerto Rico, same hometown as Cotto. Both are trained by Cotto’s uncle, Evangelista Cotto, and they sparred 40 rounds in training camp. Cotto says Bruseles has a chance, but of course he’s going to say that. They have known each other since they were boys.

"A lot of people look at Henry Bruseles as a pushover,” Mayweather said. “I don't look at anybody as a pushover. How do guys get known? They come in and upset top guys. I'm not letting some guy come in and upset me."

"Henry Bruseles, he's not going to win, but he might fight the best fight of his life. Miguel Cotto, because styles make fights, I might go out there and clip him quick. You never know how the fight game goes."

You sure don’t. The big design to the next two weeks, with HBO telecasts of Mayweather-Bruseles tonight and Gatti-James Leija next week, is prelude to Gatti-Mayweather. But with Plan A possibly on tilt, Mr. Plan B himself was watching closely here, soaking in the scene which soon will surround him.

Roger Mayweather said he considers Tszyu the true champion, but thinks Cotto actually would be his nephew’s most difficult fight at 140 pounds.

As he watched the buzz circulate, Cotto was asked this week if he considers himself Mayweather’s new chief nemesis. A broad grin crossed his face.

"We’re rivals,” Cotto said. “Mayweather is a star of the sport and we’re in the same company. Mayweather was a great champion at 130 and 135. We don’t know about 140. When the company says the time is right to make the fight, I’ll fight him. I think it's a good fight. I know Mayweather's a great fighter. But I know I can beat him."

^^^ How do Floyd fans claim Floyd offered Cotto a fight at 140, when Floyd clearly states that he had no interest in fighting Cotto because Cotto was "still too green" ???

The undeniable truth of facts: Mayweather-Cotto

By Cesar Pancorvo: 2007. It seems natural that the winner of Mayweather-Hatton fights the winner of Mosley-Cotto: the Welterweight Champion against the #1 contender, two big stars, two P4P fighters. Cotto beats Mosley, in a close and competitive fight, and Mayweather beats Hatton by knockout, after trouble in the early rounds. Hatton’s weight, the night of the fight, is similar to the weight of his fights as Junior Welterweight Champion. Many people say Mayweather defeated a blown-up Junior Welterweight. Many people don’t remember that Mayweather started at Super Featherweight..

Cotto beats Mosley and, weeks later, Mayweather beats Hatton…A bout between Mayweather and Cotto now seems like a natural consequence that should happen in boxing, and that will materialize in the next months.

Mayweather is asked about Cotto, about his future plans. He says he’ll be away from the rings for some time, he wants to rest, he wants to semi-retire. We remember that he said something comparable after defeating Oscar de la Hoya. He didn’t tell the truth in that moment, and we should have expected that he wouldn’t tell the truth now. And yes, his semi-retirement is apparently not true. A rematch with De la Hoya is being talked about, for September 2008. A rematch with Oscar de la Hoya is almost done. Mayweather doesn’t have intentions of fighting Cotto, apparently. Many people say that Mayweather is ducking Cotto. Many people say that Mayweather is a fraud. Many people think Mayweather is ducking Cotto. Vox populi, vox dei?

Cotto beats Mosley. Bob Arum, his promoter, unexpectedly starts making plans for him weeks before the Mayweather-Hatton mega fight. He says that it is possible for Cotto to face Joshua Clottey and then Antonio Margarito. He doesn’t mention Mayweather. Cotto always does what his promoter tells him to do. After the Mayweather-Hatton bout, Evangelista Cotto talks: he says that they prefer a fight against Oscar de la Hoya instead a fight against Floyd Mayweather because Oscar de la Hoya is more marketable. So, before and after Mayweather-Hatton, Cotto doesn’t seem to have intentions of fighting Mayweather.

In January, Bob Arum orchestrates Cotto’s near future. He will fight Alfonso Gomez, who is not even a Top10 Welterweight. Fans divide, some approve the fight and some condemn it. Then the winner, probably Cotto, will likely face the winner of the rematch between Kermit Cintron versus Antonio Margarito. This is what Arum possibly wants: Antonio Margarito against Miguel Cotto. Again, Cotto doesn’t seem to have intentions of fighting Mayweather.

To summarize it: Arum, before the Mayweather-Hatton fight, was making plans for Cotto and they didn’t involve a fight against Mayweather; Evangelista Cotto, after the fight, said they preferred to fight Oscar de la Hoya instead of Mayweather; Cotto, in a few months, will fight Alfonso Gomez. Many people think Mayweather is ducking Cotto. Vox populi, vox dei?

"I would love to fight Kostya Tszyu,” Mayweather said. “If the money's right, I'll go to Russia to fight him. I just want to show I'm the best. But with HBO and Showtime, I know it's going to be hard to make the fight."


People think he ducked Kostya now

Margarito is the better fighter than Baldomir but Baldomir had ring title and wbc title and also Mayweather was not suing Bladomir promotion company for unpaid money

Marg had the WBO title.

why even make another floyd ducked margo thread???? boxing is buisness and floyd was fighting for money..he landed the oscar fight that got him 20-30 million...more than margo has made his entire career..whats your problem???margo isnt even a hall of famer...floyds an atg..hof..he doesnt need margo..margo needs him..lets move on to present day boxing

Regardless, none of this defeats the point.
Floyd says, "it's not about proving to fans who the best is"
Yet Floyd fans say he's the best.

I also have a Floyd quote where he says that he's going to wait till Kosta is is older before he fights him, that way he (Kosta) can see how it feels. This was in reference to Kosta Tszyu beating on Roger.

[Chunk..]

WBC belts are pretty. All that gold and green.

And?? He was joking about how Kostya beat Roger. This fight was going to made until he lost to Hatton his fault. Hatton unseated Tszyu when Mayweather was in the division

gold and green makes Mayweather eyes come out don't you think
