Cotto vs Mayweather?

[-Kev-]

Those who said Mayweather said Cotto lives too far or he lives in Puerto Rico, please link me to the video he says this, unedited, meaning not cut out parts to make him sound like he said these things.

I have seen the full interview with Brian Kenny and he doesn't say anything of this in the intention that people are trying to make it out to be. But I want to see these ******s link me to the unedited video, watch nobody come up with a link, cause they never see it.

Cotto circa 2008 would have been Floyds toughest test, by far. Even today it would be a good fight. Floyd is a COWARD. The end.

Cotto is just a watered down and smaller version of Oscar

OK, warrior.

The pro boxer is the coward. The pudgy guy behind the keyboard is heroic.

cotto is a warrior and legend

and lets be honest his tattoo looks awesome

Mayweather didn't say Cotto was too green until Arum said it.

You can attempt to re-write history, but I was an avid fan in that era, and I remember the facts. They are also well documented.

Floyd and Arum were involved in lawsuits post-Gatti. In fact, HBO helped facilitate Floyd's separation from Top Rank.

These are the kinds of matchups that occur when a television network gives a fighter a date and, in essence, tells him to find an acceptable opponent. The way to do it, if you have the fans in mind and want to show the best fights, is to make the match first, then assign a date.

But Mayweather, incredulously, is being blamed for having to fight Mitchell. After filleting Mitchell, which should take seven or eight rounds, Mayweather will have completed a year in which none of three fighters he faced -- Henry Bruseles, Arturo Gatti and Mitchell -- were any kind of a threat to him.

Few active fighters relish challenges more than Mayweather. Diego Corrales comes to mind, but the list of those who always want to fight the toughest fights possible is shorter than Verne Troyer's (aka Mini-Me's) inseam.

"I can't make these guys fight," said an exasperated Mayweather, who had hoped to face Wright in what would have been one of the year's most intriguing bouts instead of what will turn out to be nothing more than a glorified exhibition.

Former lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight champion Shane Mosley was offered a bout against Mayweather, but declined.

Mosley said he wanted a couple of tuneups, but said he'd fight Mayweather next year.

Kostya Tszyu isn't sure he'll fight again. His conqueror, Ricky Hatton, turned Mayweather down before money was even discussed.

Oscar De La Hoya has mentioned Mayweather, but said he won't consider him until late 2006.

That's around the time when Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said he'd be willing to put young and promising Miguel Cotto in against Mayweather.

There were others, including undisputed welterweight champion Zab Judah, but they couldn't come close to contract terms.

And boxers know there are two ways to get out of a fight: simply by saying no, as Hatton did, or by asking for more money than promoters will be able to pay.

Most boxing fans act like brute cavemen, they think a match up can magically be put together. Aside from what you typed, every body has to be happy, the fighters first of all, the promoters, the managers, the cable companies, etc. Every body is tryna eat, making a fight is more complex than just pen to paper and that's it. I'm not gonna sit here and act like I know what goes on behind every fight, but I do now it's much more to making a fight than meets the eye. Even with all the internet access,we still don't what exactly happens. Promotional feuds, lawsuits, smear campaigns. It's a bunch of shit people don't know about.

That is a corny interpretation of Cotto's everyday expression. WHAT about Mayweather VS a washed up journeyman like Gatti, looked "scary" to Cotto??

Was it the suckerpunch Floyd landed on Gatti when Gatti was complaining to the referee??

I have watched that fight a few times... Nothing in Floyd's performance against Rocky Balboa Jr. would give Cotto reason to be "nervous."

He was chillen and even winked at somebody while nodding "yeah" with that damn camera in his face. You kids are desperately tryin to make Floyd into Mike Tyson. That was scary... a pot shot throwin btch like Mayweather scares nobody.

You have to be half a phag to defend Floyd's lack of balls. Half a phag.

Mayweather never fought Cotto because Cotto would've taxed that azz!

2008 Cotto would have destroyed 2007 ODLH. Oscar knew it and didn't want to fight him even though the fight would have made lots of money and Top Rank offered it in 2008.

Floyd was P4P #1 in 2008 and instead of fighting his biggest challenge he went to the WWE.

You fanboys can spin it anyway you want to, but it's clear what happened.
