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

[Mr.Fantastic]

How ironic that Cotto stans in this thread use Margarito for their debate with Mayweather nuthuggers. The same guy they talk so much shit about.

Yuri Foreman is the first world champ with a title that cotto has beaten.

Yuri Foreman is the first world champ with a title that cotto has beaten.

what a misleading statistic. corrales didn't have a world title when floyd beat him so i guess that win isn't worth very much according to you right?

Yuri Foreman is the first world champ with a title that cotto has beaten.

To be fair Clottey got stripped just before fighting Cotto.

[daggum]

you can be title-less and be a lot more dangerous than most world champs around like torres, malignaggi, quintana, and mosley proved or you can have a world title and suck like baldomir, senchenko, etc....you can't say someone is automatically good just for having a world title. you have to look at a fighters resume and the guys cotto fought were pretty darn good regardless of whether or not they had a title or not. i believe at least 6 of them won world titles after losing to cotto so if you care about that sort of crap that's pretty impressive and should show their quality.

so Clottey didn't have a title?

Do you get paid to post this bull****, or is sucking off Mayweathers imaginary c*ck really that much of a thrill to you?

LOL @ anybody who would actually go to these lengths to try to convince other people that Mayweather didn't avoid those three guys. It's common ****ing knowledge that he did, and revisionist-history doesn't work on people who actually follow this sport.

You should be banned for your unspeakable crimes against intelligence.

Dang bro why so mad? In all fairness to the TS....where is this common knowledge at? Or are you speaking of blown up opinions?

To my knowledge Arum didn't want to put a GREEN Cotto in with Mayweather while they were @140lbs. Then @147 Mayweather fought Hatton, 8 months later Cotto lost to Margarito......so where is this common knowledge you speak of?

Don't even bother with guys with weak arguments that amount to "if you don't think this or that, then you're crazy".

Neither Cotto or Margarito were ducked or were ever in any position to be ducked.

To be ducked, you have to remain significant for a decent length of time.

When Cotto got by Mosley, which is the most significant win of his career, he lost eight months later by TKO.

When Margarito savagely beat Cotto bloody, he lost six months later by TKO.

The best fighter in the world and of this era was not ducking guys who couldn't even keep their own affairs in order.

You people are desperate. You are focusing on a small window to make an outrageous argument.

Both Cotto and Margarito rose to the top and crashed and burned between November 2007 - January 2009. That about ONE YEAR.

What's the likelihood that a possible world-class fighter only has one noteworthy win in his entire career? Because both Cotto and Margarito have ONLY ONE NOTEWORTHY WIN IN THEIR CAREERS A PIECE!

Floyd Mayweather Jr has been on top for 15 years. Its not a matter of who he's fought, because he's been fighting the #1 and #2 consistently for 15 years. He's beaten the top champions in every division he's been in.

Cotto and Margarito weren't the champions at 147 when Floyd Mayweather first came up to it. Judah and Baldomir were. Floyd fought them as they were the #1 and #2 fighters there.

And now because two fighters that Hispanic fans root for made good for about 8 months, those fans have come up with this conspiracy theory that Mayweather ducked them ... despite Floyd having announced not fighting in 2008 WAY BEFORE either man had done anything worth talking about.

How can certain fans miss or rather ignore that FACT?

And how convenient is it for Cotto fans to forget that Cotto refused to fight Floyd while they were both at 140lbs? Miguel was offered a fight and refused it. Yet in some minds Floyd somehow ducked Cotto?

How does that make any sense? In any way?

Cotto, who hadn't ever beaten a champion until Yuri Foreman at 154lbs, was never in any position to be ducked. Margarito built his 15 minutes off of his win over Cotto, so he too was never in a position to be ducked. Especially when one considers that Margarito, the most feared man in boxing, had already been beaten by Paul Williams.

No one, not just Floyd, is ducking any fighter when that fighter hasn't done anything worth being ducked for.

What some of you are trying to suggest is that "because you say so, if others disagree, they are crazy/******/nuthuggers/etc".

You've got to come with something better than that.

what a misleading statistic. corrales didn't have a world title when floyd beat him so i guess that win isn't worth very much according to you right?

Same folks that claim Titles are garbage turn around and try to discredit Cotto for winning them vacant and not from a reigning champ. However for the sake of argument the WBA vacant title Cotto won was against then undefeated Quintana. But let me guess it's not worth S H I T because it was vacant even tho' it was Quintana who then turned around and defeated the "most avoided fighter" of the era in PWill. Haterzzz gona hate.
