Would you consider this a great champion?

[F l i c k e r]

Lol, cherry picking a paper title from a shot Gatti, now that's the stuff top 10 ATGs are made of (something *****s are claiming Floyd becomes if he beats JMM and Pac.)

isn't fighting for vacant belts worse?

[dsyef]

HAHA, let's talk about who's Cotto beat for all those vacant belts.

Hey who's the one making a thread trying to pretend a fighter is bigger than he is?

cotto has fought undefeated fighters and mosley who is a bigger legend than all the fighters floyd has faced. Margarito was an avoided fighter even by floyd. Mosley is much better at 147 than De La Hoya who floyd won a split decision. am I right?

Well if you're talking about Cotto, he fought 3 fighters that Floyd faced and beat all of them in more impressive fashion. He then fought guys Floyd didn't have the ballz to fight like Mosley, Margarito and now Clottey.

I don't really see your point. Floyd fought DLH at 154, not 147. Sure, Mosley better than anybody Floyd's fought at 147. Maybe Floyd will fight Mosley in the future. We just don't know which route he is going to take after this tune up.

No. If the fight was at 140-147 maybe but it was at 154, ODLH's comfort weight.

Mosley turned Floyd down, Margarito is a cheating bastard, and Clottey, well LOL at you sir, L-O-fu.cking-L.

Um so? Its just as much as Mosley's fault as it is Floyd's. Cotto faught Margarito and everyone makes excuses, and Clottey was the easy route out. Seeing how Paul Williams was staring right at him.


Look at you trying to downplay good boxers just because "Floyd" faught them.

[Left Hook Tua]

if floyd had fought mosley one year , marg the next and then clottey the year after......

there wouldn't even be any anti-floyd threads. we'd all love the guy for fighting the best.

[Jim Jeffries]

No. If the fight was at 140-147 maybe but it was at 154, ODLH's comfort weight.

Who cares what weight it was at? Oscar was old and inactive, far past his best. If that fight at 154 meant anything at all, Floyd wouldn't be afraid to fight the top guys at 147. Hell, he even retired rather than face them.

Now we get to see Floyd fight a true, good WW. Well not really, a 36 yo, past his best guy who was fighting at 130 last year and has all of two fights at 135. Weeeeeeeeeee.

Hey Floyd, fight Cotto, Mosley or Williams, or do us all a favor and stay retired.

[Bullet Bill]

Cotto has yet to become the man in any division.
and has yet to become a lineal and ring champion in any division.

Pacquaio Has
Mosely Has
JMM Has
Ricky Hatton Has
Nate Campbell Has
Floyd Mayweather Has

What this tells me is that all those fighters put in the work to be recognize
as the man in their division no if and's or but's. Or could have would have or should have.

That why I say Cotto put the hardwork in and rise atop of the welterweight division and win that lineal championship and get yourself some history under your name.

Cotto is a good fighter. but at some point when are we as fans going to say to cotto stop fighting for vacant titles and go get the lineal title. and you do that by putting in the work. and winning the fights that mean something.
