Do you think Mayweather ducked Cotto out of fear?

[project xxx1]

no version of cotto beats floyd

has floyd ever fought any topranks boxers?

thats your answer

How? Tzyu opted to cash out in England instead. Smart move by Tzyu, really.

Get paid 2 or 3 million pounds to fight Hatton in his backyard in front of 20,000+, or fight Floyd for a mill, in front of 7,000 in vegas?

Hmmmmmmmmm.

he got low blowed by hatton a million times i wouldn't say he was trying to cash out

He retired shortly after, what does that tell you?

IDK can't really say but he said gatti was a paper champ during the whole promotion so why didn't he fight kosta instead? Not saying he would have lost but it would have been a more meaningful fight

Kosta Tszyu was never available for Floyd Mayweather.

Mayweather was always very vocal about want to fight Kosta Tszyu. But the oppurtunity never arose. Bad timing, a long with other things.

As for Gatti, yeah, he was a paper champion.

But he was also the #1 Ranked Jr Welterweight at the time. Besides Kosta Tszyu, who again was never available for Mayweather's short stay at 140.

i really doubt he thought to himself yeah i think i will lose to this hatton guy who is a huge underdog and hasn't beat any good fighters.

First of all, I'm not a hater or anything close to crap like that. I would just like to read some opinions regarding this matter. I've never quite understood Mayweather when asked about Cotto. At first, he said Cotto was green. Then Cotto became, pretty much, the top welterweight in the world around 2007. Floyd chose to face Hatton instead. With the talent that Floyd has, seriously, I don't get why he would fear Cotto. Do you think Mayweather feels that Cotto has the style to beat him?

When did that happen lol!!!!!!!!!!!! Plz stop it!

Of course he didn't think he was going to lose.

But, what he did know, is he was very injury prone and coming the to end of his career. And didn't have many fights left in the tank.

No but he chose to fight Hatton in his backyard as opposed to Mayweather, going for the bigger money bout is cashing out.

Cotto became the number 1 welter by default i guess since he retired in 07

I'm sure if Cotto beat Margarito that fight or one with Oscar De La Hoya could have happened. I think an Oscar fight would be first and if Cotto beat him it would only be right to have Cotto vs. Mayweather. Things got ruined.
