Cotto is doing what Mayweather couldnt.

[Burner]

That list of fighters is the reason Mayweather retired. He couldn't find one he was sure he could beat. He was used to fighting smaller fighters.

"Smaller fighters".


HAHAHAH Floyd is usaully the smallest guy in the ring.....

Its funny but guys like Williams...Berto..Cotto..Cintron...and Margarito would be MUCH MUCH MUCH bigger then Floyd..yet thats perfectly fine.

LMFAO.

so oscar is smaller fighters

[AllyboyJNR]

You are right miamijohn.Cotto actually fought someone this bumweather only won drained Gatti,88 year old De la Hoya and midget from Mancherster that is bumweather all career!

wat about corrales,castillo,baldomir,judah just a few hes fought.....also cotto was wobbled of demarcus corley and fernando torres...2 of the most useless fighters out there

[miamijohn]

I never knew that being a fan of the sport was about being more interested in fighters bank accounts, rather than being a fan of, and demanding competitive matchups.

I agree with the money issue , but we got to bittch at the uncompetitve matches and fighters who fight them

[Saronic]

I knew about oscar , but he's just one dude who is older and slow for him.
other than that most were smaller. He fought Judah that came from a lost a washed up Gatti and a smaller Hatton that was giving him trouble in the beginning of the fight. Too bad Hatton didn't show any defense and Floyd got Lucky. plus he lost to Castillo, but they awarded him the victory.

If Floyd was man enough he would fight Mosley, Berto, Margarito, Clottey, P.Williams or Cotto. Too much danger for a guy that is scare to death he would lose. Floyd might be able to beat some of these guys just like they can beat him. Problem is Floyd a coward who would rather fight the winner of Hatton and Pacquiao than to get in the ring with the big boys.

Oh i agree, and that's why UFC is gaining in popularity. Fighters and promoters these days are only concerned with big money fights, whether they are competitive or not. Its actually sad though when fans such as certain floyd fans would rather see floyd in a low risk/big money fight, rather than a competitive matchup where he will have to give it his all in order to pull out a win. Wouldnt u wanna see your favorite fighter pushed to the limit against the absolute best in the sport in order to prove himself? Maybe im different.

Now, we know why Mayweather avoided Margarito, he was busting up sparring partners using Plaster Of Paris. Miguel Cotto messed up his record fighting that bum, giving him too meny chances.

Well at least u admit he did it. Floyd's name is the one who usually comes up when this topic is mentioned because of his status at the time he was pulling this stunt. He was recognized as pfp#1 in the world, and the top dog at WW, he he refused to fight any other top ranked WW's. He was only interested in big money fights that posed little risk, and his diehard fans defended that.

For the record, Calzaghe gets hammered when this subject is brought up. So its not as if Floyd is the only one.

[larr12]

i believe that mayweather have a lot of skills BUT he is afraid to fight real top WWs.

he fought bruseles, baldomir, gatti, a 147lbs hatton

i mean face first the real contenders and then talk about being the best or p4p.
