Could Mayweather get away with fighting Miguel Cottons opponents?

[-EX-]

Floyd and Cotto have both fought their share of weak fighters...Cotto has a better resume at 147. Floyd's is better P4P tho

Floyd has to be the least respected pfp#1 champ in the history of the sport. It's sad but true.

RJJ went thru pretty much the same thing..

"and they got the nerve to say i aint fighting nobody, i just make em look like nobody.. Y'all Mutve Forgot!"

Ironically at that point, Gomez was a more popular fighter than Baldomir because of the contender series (take it for what it is I guess). Hell, I'd even take Gomez over Baldomir. The guy made a career off beating Zab Judah and getting completely outclassed by Floyd Mayweather, nothing more nothing less.

yeah, but gomez did nothing for cotto as a tune up for margo as their styles and fortitude had no similarities at all.

atleast baldomir would've forced cotto to recognize that he just couldn't war with guys with indestructible chins and to conserve his energy for later rounds.

I Would've loved to have read those threads about Jones getting KTFO by Tarver. Seems so long ago.

yeah, the atmosphere would be similar if floyd was ever tKOed or quit like cotto.

A case could be made for Roy as well. During his prime, he fought a string of Civic Service Workers.

yea but he didnt really have anyone around his weight to fight.

like floyd for a long time. ppl say he ducked certain fighters but if u look at where those fighters were at the time floyd was in the division u will clearly see he never ducked anyone. he fought those who were the best guys at the time. then when lots of talent came his way he retired..which was the only bad move of his career.

What would boxingscene look like if he fought Alfonso Gomez and Michael Jennings.

Would would boxingscene look like if he took a knee and QUIT.

Floyd would take both Gomez and Jennings the distance, so what is your question?

[baracuda]

the question was could floyd get away with taking soft tune ups.. and the answer is no.

alot of fighters do it and get away with it, floyd could never do that.

1. because there are too many haters who would say hes ducking evrybody and anybody.

2. unless the public thinks there is a good chance floyd is gon get his ass whupped pretty much nobody except his fanboys watch the fight.

i mean they had DLH.forbes on 24/7 for ffs. floyd couold never get that kind of interest by his own self.

he already has,why do you think he gets criticised now?

Gomez KO Gatti so i dont know what you talkin about!

Gatti owned a WBC world title.

Gomez isn't even qualified to own a picture of said title.

[Deja_Vous]

well.... floyd has had his soft touches too, so you gotta give cotto those gimmes. except fighting gomez was a ****** tune up for margo. they should've got baldomir.



boxingscene would look like it did after RJJ got KTFOed by Tarver

Baldomir would have been too much for lil Cotton.

[Deja_Vous]

Cotto fought Quintana, Mosley, Margarito and is now fighting Clottey..
Mayweather would never DARE do such a thing.

Floyd won a title at 154

Lil Cotton would never dare do such a thing.
