Why Didn't Cotto get as much credit as Floyd for Fighting Mosley?

[Sin City]

People just making stuff up now, Cotto doesn't get credit for fighting Mosley??? Since when. When the fight is talked about he does.

Mayweather fans were trying to downplay Cotto's win against Mosley talking about his age.. which is true. Mosley isn't in his prime.. but all the sudden Mayweather signs on to fight him and it's like he's doing something that's never ever been done before.

wait, do u guys actually watch boxing???if u did, u wlda know that when ppl were watchin cotto fight mosely, everyone pretty much thought mosely wa done. he was comin off a few bad losses to forrest and winky, he was at the lowest in his career actually. he wasnt revitalized until after his win over margs, which made him a p4p again

you're a ****ing DUMMY. why do they let ******s on this site. the reason people are so exited about the mayweather mosley fight is because of the STYLES and bad blood between the 2. PAC knocks out cotto and people act like it has never been done before. we can play these types of games over and over again.

Reason why? Cotto has never been accused of ducking.

[disolly]

Well cotto is a modern day warrior and floyd is the biggest ***** to ever step in the ring.
Thats why. He calls himself the greatest fighter of all time, yet he retired a couple years ago saying he had nothing to prove even though Cotto was undefeated and arguably better than floyd. Than he comes back when Manny starts making boat loads, He cares about money and thats it, while most athletes care about about money and the legacy they will leave behind. The only reason he is now fighting mosley is because if he didn't he would look like a coward and would quite possibly lose his chance of cashing in on the Pac fight. The guy admits it himself , he is all business and he would fight de la hoya 10 times straight if he could.

Yeah that's why people are EXCITED for the fight? why are people giving credit to floyd for fighting a guy he should definitely be fighting?
People are excited for this fight because they want to see floyd against a world class opponent...... for the first time in years, pretty much since his lightweight days. Though we will probably find out right before the fight that floyd didn't make weight and that mosley has to wear 10 oz grants. or something flimsy like he pulled against JMM.

One reason why I don't give Cotto as much credit for it is because Paul Williams had just beat Margarito and was ranked higher than Mosley. Right now, Mosley is more highly regarded than he was then based on the fact he beat the #1 Welterweight in the world. But Mosley left off on a high note before that fight when he beat Collazo, so it's a good win to have on your resume either way. But the key word is win. What are you gonna say if Mayweather beats Mosley more convincingly than Cotto did? Are we gonna get this **** of "Well Cotto fought a younger version of Mosley." I see where you Cottards are going with this thread and I'm not a Mayweather fan either. I hope Mosley beats him, but you get where I'm coming from.

This is revisionism, Cotto gets plenty of credit. It was a solid win and i dont see anyone discrediting it at all.
