    You would NEVER see Cotto fighting top 30 guys at Middleweight, yet you call Mayweather bluff because he is not fighting top 5 guys in his 4th weight class.

    So..what else is new?
    Must be kidding, he NEEDS to do that in order to enhance his questionable legacy.

      Thank you, so the fact that Ring Mag has Floyd rated as the number 2 rated welter weight is a joke then right? How can you be number two when you aint faught any welter weight in like 4 years?

      Explain this to me.



      Go to ring mag and look at all the welters cotto has faced on that page.

        But Kev, you can't blame fans for that. We all want to see the best fight the best. If he hadn't moved up and just kept beating the top fighters at 135 and 140, we wouldn't even be talking about this. But he did move up. Not only that but he tells anyone within ear shot how great he is. I think he is the best fighter out there, but that shouldn't excuse him from making the toughest fights. If he didn't want the criticism he shouldn't have moved up, no?

              Most the time, hindsight is in play. Like fighters he's going to fight are considered great, or good challenges or good choices, UNTIL he beats them. Then the, yes, excuses poor in. Its been that way his entire career. In the Gatti/Mayweather fight, HBO announcing team was touting Hatton as the guy to beat, cuz he had just beat Kosta. Whereas Cotto was #5 at the time. And yet, he still catches ridicule for fighting Hatton. Same with Judah, HBO couldn't stop talking about how Floyd should fight him.. And the same with Baldomir by proxy of Judah.

              Today the WW landscape is different. So in hindsight you can ridicule and downplay his opponents ALL day... But.. the WW situation now was NOT the WW situation then. Point blank period. Wham bam thank you ma'am

                Cotto is not masquerading as a middle weight is he?

                So If Cotto beats a middle weight, then he should be ranked a TOP middle weight for 4 years after the fact even though he will never fight another middle weight again?

                  Gatti was shot long before Floyd got a hold of him. I believe the Drag Queen ODLH put the hurting on Gatti 5 years before Floyd laid his mittens on him. Gatti was so shot, Alfalfa Gomez was able to beat him.

                  Corrales was on his way to prison just before his bout with Floyd. Mentally unprepared, totally distracted, Corrales was not that good anyway. Yes he was a warrior but that is all.

                  Hatton's best win ever was against an old KT who was ready to retire due to injuries and illness.

                  Hatton was over rated. Was that really a prime Hatton Floyd beat? I think not. Collazo beat the noise out of Hatton too in the same weight class and Hatton was chased back down to 140.

                  ODLH was so over the hill, little Stevie Forbes was giving him a run for his money.

                  Marquez forced to move up too fast and then Floyd does not even honor the catch weight? WOW what a brave ***** ass move was that? Marquez moves up nearly three weight classes in the blink of an eye and Floyd was still scared to knock the fat little midget out.

                  I will give him the Genaro win.

                  He lost to Castillo the first time.

                  He beat Castillo in the rematch.

                  Judah was destroyed by KT and owned by an old ass dinosaur plodder before Floyd ever got to him.

                  Baldomir was so old, he farted dust and I guess that is ok if you sell feather dusters.

                  Mitchell?


                  You forgot to mention Bruseless.

                  lol
                  You could do something like this for every fighter that ever lived.

                  Fact is Floyd has had 40 fights 40 wins, is UNDEFEATED, and has the BEST resume of any active boxer.

                    I've said this before and i will say it again, i am fan of Mayweather because he made me a fan in his SFW days. Seeing him fight up to Junior Middleweight is enough for me.

                    don;t get me wrong, I want him to fight Pacquiao-Cotto and Mosley-Berto winners too. But i refuse to **** on a fighter like Floyd.

                      So you're saying that Cotto has never fought any Middleweights?
