Myth Buster Series Pt 1: Miguel Cotto one of The GREAT fighters Floyd avoided?!?!?!

[LaMigra]

Cash cow... You watch too much WWF. You keep on talking BS about "belts." Floyd won a "belt" from Gatti... Need I say more??

It's not about belts son, it's about fighting the BEST out there. Why are you so fixated on the WWF aspect of this sport??? You think the fans were in awe when Floyd beat Gatti for a "belt?"

"You know Hulk Hogan... I have your belt and I am going to keep it for the next 10 fake ass fights..cuz this belt... is everything...blah blah blah"

Get off that WWF sh it. There is NO reason why you should be clapping for Floyd having fought Gatti for a "belt..." Seriously.

Damn you are not only slow but straight up ****** too.

[Cash Cow]

Floyd woulda kicked Cotto's ass
doesn't change the fact that he ducked him

who ducked who first?...When they were both undefeated Mayweather was 28 and Cotto was 25.....they were both on Top rank and could've unified the division....If Cotto as a fighter ever felt like he could beat Mayweather he would have pushed for the fight. Making statements saying "I want to fight so & so" is far different than actually protesting for a fight. Cotto already knew...Bob Arum promoted both guys for large parts of their careers and dont you think HIM SEEING BOTH fighters, he wouldve pushed for a Mayweather-Cotto fight even after Mayweather left Top Rank if he felt like his "young puero rican" champ would be the one to dethrone Mayweather?

ESPN had Cotto winning..

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3101252

Yahoo sports had Cotto winning the fight..

http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slug=ki-cottomosley111007

Read that article so you can get a clue. Even DeLaHoya was praising Cotto's performance. What writers were saying Cotto lost? ESPN and Yahoo the top companys writing about sports today say Cotto won genius. Listen to your own words and 'stop lying to yourself' Even Mosley himself said 'Cotto got what he deserved'. Thanks.

There were hundreds of pundits that made statements to the contrary. I understand why you went to ESPN and Yahoo. Honestly, I would have done the same thing in your position, but equally as honest, ESPN and Yahoo have jumped on many a bandwagon in their day. They went right along with Arum and lied when saying that Pacquiao/Marquez went to Pacquiao. The first was a win for Marquez as he boxed Manny's asss off for 11 rounds. The second was a win for Marquez even more convincingly, but they robbed the Mexican. Twice. They did the same in the fight where Cotto really lost to Clottey.

Cotto fought Mosley at a point where writers and fans were writing Shane off. Shane was NOT the #1 WW at that point. So how does Miguel beating Shane at that point make him the #1 anything? It was just ONE FREAKING FIGHT!!!!

Why are you so desperate that you are willing to bend reality to highlight your favorite boxer in a more favorable light rather than wait for him to actually earn it?

I'll finish with, as far as the thread title goes, yes it could be true.. But we will never know for sure. Run away haters.

I don't run from peasants. I take their lunch money.

? Son... You are either ****** or not smart.

You talk sh it about "Who has Cotto beaten?" And yet you claim Mayweather is the man for beating GATTI and BALDOMIR!!!!! How are you pretending to forget that DLH V Floyd was as CLOSE or CLOSER than Mosley V Cotto?? You forget that Floyd LOST to Castillo in their first fight. Fake ass boxing fan.

Listen peasant, you missed the point as all peasants do.

Mayweather ONLY fight Gatti because Kostya Tszyu REFUSED to fight by pricing himself out of his demanding a 60/40 split. Baldomir beat Zab Judah when Zab was the #1 WW in the world. Hate it or love it ... it is what it is. Mayweather beat both Baldomir and Judah. There were no challenges left. Spinks had gone up to jrMW.

As far as Mayweather/DLH, it was not as close. All a real fan would have to do is look at the punch stats. Mayweather threw half as many punches and landed almost twice as much throughout the fight. An assshole who pretends to be a fan would come to that conclusion because you think that the only way to win a fight is to brawl and trade. DLH outweighed Floyd by more than 20lbs that night and refused to be weighed. Floyd dominated DLH not because I say so. He dominated because CompuBox said so.

LOL ... maybe CompuBox is bias towards Floyd Mayweather? Freakin peasants.

I didn't forget Mayweather/Castillio 1. I have argued on MANY sites that Mayweather lost that match. Unlike you, I have integrity. I don't need to lie or exaggerate to make my points.

You can tell who the bytches are in life by who they hold up as heroes. How could ANY self respecting fan of the sport admire what Floyd has done to avoid getting into the ring with Cotto, Margarito and now Manny????!

You are a fcuking ignoramus. You speak as if you know the sport, then open your mouth to spew ******ity. Cotto wasn't **** in 2007 until he fought Mosley a month before Floyd KO'd Hatton and took a 12 month hiatus. Cotto then got his **** beaten bloody 8 months later. Who has ever avoided this guy? 8 months on top and you call that elite? Elite fighters have longevity against the best in and around their division. Cotto wasn't **** at 140lbs and had ONLY ONE notable win at 147lbs! I guess that makes you a b!tch asss peasant in life, si?

Margarito got beat by Williams in 2007, beat Cotto bloody in 2008, and then got the **** beat out of him in 2009. Where is the ducking? The mutha fcuker couldn't even stay at the top for 12 months! No longevity = a one hit wonder just like Cotto.

No champ in history has displayed this level of cowardice. Try again, your post was weak as sh it. You thought you knocked it outta the park huh

Qué chingados! In a peasant mind where facts and figures mean nothing I'm sure a belief like that can exist and flourish. Floyd has beaten the best in EVERY division. He has consistently been the WBC champion in EVERY division. Floyd was hailed as the #1 P4P boxer by the world, not just by Floyd fans, pinche puta. No one took Floyd's spot. It was bestowed to Pacquiao because boxing needed another face when Floyd to 12 months to do whatever he felt like doing.

You want to criticize Floyd for taking 12 months off? Que no? LOL ... Floyd came back against Marquez, and then fought the #1 WW in the world, Shane Mosley. Mosley was the #1 for destroying Margarito. He wasn't before that. Cotto after being embarrassed, fought Michael Jennings, an unknown club fighter, for a vacant paper title so that he could lose it to Pacquiao in yet another embarrasing beating.

You should learn your boxing and the games played in it before you run your b!tch asss mouth. You have made ZERO points. Cotto has one victory worth mentioning on his resume. I've taken your pesos and you have just been smacked the fcuk up in English and Spanish, Maricon! Métetelo por el culo!

That was for you peasants who might say that I'm not worldly and ****.

yes he won a belt from Gatti because the other 2 belt holders Hatton & Cotto didnt want to Unify. I mean Cotto & Mayweather were both under Top Rank..that fight could have happened easily....there is a reason why it didnt..

dude, Floyd ducked Cotto at 147
he said I'll fight him but I can't make him fight me
he wanted it, Floyd didn't

[Hiei]

Cotto would have not stood a chance vs Mayweather

the dude struggled vs fuccen clottey

[Cash Cow]

I don't think even a prime Cotto would beat Mayweather Jr. Floyd pretty much avoided fighting him though when it could've happened years ago. No reason to see it anymore, unless Cotto somehow rejuvenates his career, which I doubt will happen.

Ducked? How? Mayweather was the P4P champ & #1 WW after beating Hatton....when did Top Rank and Bob Arum EVER make a legitimate push to make Mayweather-Cotto besides releasing quotes to the press?

Cotto fought Shane in November of 2007, Mayweather fought Hatton December of 2007....Mayweather retired and Cotto fought and beat the Contender Gomez and then quit vs Margarito in the following year.....

how in the hell did Mayweather duck Cotto?

Cotto never beat a #1 WW and never was on top for more than 12 months....why would Mayweather come out of retirement to fight a guy who beat Gomez and quit vs Margarito?

[Lords]

so how many of those guys besides Yuri Foreman were champs at the time they beat them? ....

he had a disputed win vs Mosley....fought Judah after Mayweather.....and got beat down from Margarito, Clottey & Mayweather....none of those guys have the skill of Mayweather....just stop man....Cotto is a tough fighter but history speaks for itself.

Disputed win over mosley? Even monsley himself said Cotto won in the end. Who disputed that fight? All the top boxing writers had Cotto winning. Floyd got droped by Judah and won a decision, Cotto finished him off. Quintana was the Undefeated WBA welterweight campion when Cotto beat him. Just stop with the margicheato garbage. The guy needed bricks to beat down Cotto. Clottey can't even finish Cotto off with one eye. Manny is a crybaby crying about catchweights.
