he will be truly a coward. there would be no excuse as to why he wouldn't fight one of these guys. he can't use the "he doesnt bring enough to the table" excuse because both pac and cotto can generate a good crowd. If pac wins it definitely solidify his status further as the best fighter in world. he would do what floyd didn't and was afraid to do and that should lure floyd into the fight just to see who's better. and it would definitely be a good match. but the only problem would be the money issue. both fighers would have to swallow their pride and agree to the 50 50 split.
Cotto. he has proved on more than one occasion that he is the best welterweight in the division right now. with wins over shane mosley and zab judah he shows that he is not some brawler who relies on just his power to win. he actually has some good boxing skill and can use his boxer smarts to get things accomplished. yes he lost to margarito but he was a tough opponent and also theres a chance he could've had that illegal plaster in his gloves at the time of the fight. I also don't get why people criticize him so much over the clottey fight. he suffered a bad cut and clottey is not a pushover either. he has good boxing skill as well and good defense. he would give any welterweight problems in the ring. but back to his fight pacquaio and a potential fight with mayweather.
alot of people are giving pacquaio a chance because of his speed. that is a good tool for him because i doubt he will hurt cotto seriously. but people forget that cotto can cut down the ring and nullify speed. also pacquaio being a southpaw should not be an issue because judah was a southpaw as well and cotto handled it with a knockout. now judah is no pacquaio but he is still a southpaw with some power and can be dangerous if he's focused enough. so if cotto wins he will be considered the best because he beat the best in pacquiao. floyd should fight him because of that. if he doesnt it will be bull****. reason being is that he said he chose marquez over pacquaio because he beat him twice and was the best fighter. shouldn't that same standard apply if cotto was to win?
I'm just curious as to what excuse floyd will make if he doesn't fight one of these guys because so far the reasons that he had in the past will not make sense. we'll just have to wait and see. floyd is a great fighter but he needs to stop being obessessed with keeping his "0" and do what other ATG's has done, and thats step up to the plate and take on all comers. floyd nuthuggers can say all they want but he hasnt done that throughout his whole career.
