Cotto: "Mayweather has not been a real factor in boxing since 2003"

[bestboxingonly]

Hopefully both will fight now.

[AP♠]

What don't these cheerleaders get that manny is willing to take the test, the argument is abt cutoff date.true that the first time he didn't want ost testing,but he agreed.right?



Yet,he gets still gets bashed.then floyd gets a pass for what reason in theyre last negotiations? Then his advisor comes out next morning pretending he didn't know 2cents.lol, these negotiations have been placed for weeks with a timer.sooo....?

[AntonTheMeh]

great, now we get to see this fight.

[Light_Speed]

Lol is this for real?

Floyd wanted the 2for1 special at the time, something arum wasnt going to do.how are you gonna demand for 2 fighters in a row not knowing the type of outcome? Sounds like the casual hat trick 2 for 1 priceout.the was back then nearly 7 yrs ago,u would think he would of made an attempt to fight them befor pac and shane got to them.apparently that wasn't the case with all the maternity leaves floyd has taken.



I respect margarito and cotto for taking on the finest more then floyd,can u agree With that? If so, why.not? Notice theres always a hurddle when floyd negotiates.

Margarito and Cotto took on whoever Arum put in front of them so I guess you respect Arum because he's the one making decisions for his fighters. Floyd was the lineal champ in 07 when Cotto decided...I mean when Top Rank decided to match Cotto against Gomez. That's taking on the best? And then he fought Margarito so Arum could keep all the money. It was the Top Rank welterweight championship. Same reason why he fought Clottey and Margarito ducked Williams and tried to fight Oscar but then settled for Mosley. You've been brainwashed by Bob Arum open your eyes. The same Arum who matched Pac with Clottey, Margarito and now Mosley. You respect that?

Cotto is WACK!

He got ruined by MARGARITO! LOL! Where they do that at?

Mosley, Pac and even Paul Williams put Margarito in his place, easily.

Cotto got SONNED by Margarito, pushed to the brink of his life by Clottey and WAXED POETIC by Pacquiao.

Cotto is a fkn BUM and always has been.

His claim to fame is a razor thin decision over Shane Mosley (by two points) and a late TKO of Zab Judah.

Solid wins but nothing to claim greatness over.

Mayweather wanted Cotto back when he was UNDEFEATED and Arum said he (cotto) was too green.

Cotto needs to learn footwork, conditioning and head movement and then maybe, just maybe he can carry Floyd's spit bucket and mouthpiece to the ring for him.

[War Dinamita]

floyd asked for 10 million to fight cotto who was a division lower than him when his previous career high was 5 million. price yourself out much? floyd also wanted none of cotto when he moved up to 147. facts don't lie!

STFU.

Arum offered him 8M per fight to fight Margacheato and Cotto, but Floyd wanted 10M. If Arum really wanted to make the fight he should've given Floyd the extra 2M.

How come Cotto, his team, and Arum never made Floyd a contract offer? They had plenty of chances.

Mayweather ducked Cotto in 07 when the fight was at its financial peak and demanded by the fans. Explain that

Libra por Libra (the post above yours) already explained it.

No offer from Cotto's team was ever sent to Floyd. There's your explanation.

Tell me this NY123, do you really feel Cotto had a chance against Mayweather at any point in his career?

Do you realize that Cotto had HORRENDOUS footwork before Manny Steward was hired?

Do you realize that Cotto lost to Margarito and Pac because his head movement is almost non existent and his offense is overly predictable?

How would/is that type of fighter ever going to beat a fundamentally sound (offensively and defensively) hall of famer like Mayweather?

Please explain.
