Why didn't Mayweather fight these fighters?

Some people call him "Chicken" Floyd for a reason.

Cotto fans should shut up

**Horus** · 03-28-2009, 10:19 PM

why didnt those fighters fight mayweather?

Why didnt cotto fight
.Paul Willams
.Winky Wright
.Cory Spinks
.Kosta Tyzu
ricky hatton

Instead of Worrying bout Mayweather legacy Cotto fans needs to worry about Cotto's...

When is Cotto going to proved to the world that he is a great fighter?
when is he going to be a undisputed champion of a division?
When is he going to be pound for pound # 1 in boxing for a 3 year period?
when is he going to moved up 5 weight classes ?
When is he going to be undisputed champion in 3 Divisions?
When is he going to beat 2 top 10 undefeated pound 4 pound fighters?
When is he going to have 8 title defense in one division?
When is he going to Fight Paul Williams
When is he going to actually win a title?
When is he going to stop fighting for vacant titles?
When is he going to improved his defense?
When is he going to beat Margarito?
When is he going to learn how to stop upper cuts and straight right hands
When is he going to prove that he is hall of fame worthy...
When is he going to take a fight in which he is not ready and not favored?

I never Hear Cotto fans demanding Cotto go improve his legacy..why it that??? By they are up night and day worrying about Mayweather's legacy

um well maybe cuzz he retired when he was 30....and he's only 32 as of now you fckin hater. if he didn't fight hatton or hoya then they'd be on the list too. but if you want an explantion:
Paul williams: upcoming star at the time. high risk low reward. At 154 now anyways. belongs at 160
Winky wright: Not the same weight class
Miguel cotto: the only legitmate fight he hasn't taken yet as of now. still has a chance to.
antonio margarito: cheater and bum, enough said
cory spinks: Who the hell wants to watch two ppl with the same style fight? even though he technically won against jermaine, he still isnt on floyd's level
acelino freitas: quitter. gift decision vs casa, lucky win vs barrios. couldn't even beat diaz. end of story
Kosta: timing was never right w/ injuries and other scheduled fights
Shane mosley: his tooth hurt?? lol
joel casamayor: tough challenge, but not in the same weight class anymore. was a nobody b4 the corrales and freitas fights.

So miguel cotto is the only real fighter he has yet to fight. and now he doesn't even have to fight him since he lost to marg. now he can just dominate Pacman for easy money since he is so small and less skilled as a technical boxer.

because Mayweather never had the courage to be an all time great and always played it safe.

**Piper the Great** · 03-28-2009, 10:29 PM

b/c mayweather already knows he will beat th piss out of them. so he retired before he was forced to prove it.
