Do you think Mayweather ducked Cotto out of fear?

[hugh grant]

Cotto was the main man back then, and Floyd didnt show urgency to fight him, sums Floyd up in a nutshell. Dithered so much that eventually Cotto was beaten by Marge and the rest is history.

Always misses the boat Floyd with his lack of urgency casual dithering approach.

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

Well, dude. I guess we can agree to disagree but, at the time, Cotto was on a roll and had stopped Quintana, stopped Judah, and outpointed Mosley. I'm not the only one who thought Cotto was, perhaps, the top welter at that moment. Certainly, it was not Baldomir, who was a tough fighter but basically all he did at 147 was pull an upset on an overconfident Judah and a worn out Gatti.

No although i do think he ducked kosta tzyu

no way. Floyd was with HBO & Tszyu was with Showtime. Tszyu had 1 more fight left on his contract and that was the Hatton fight. Everyone felt that if Tszyu won then him & Floyd were next but he didnt

Floyd vs Cotto back in 07 was the fight to be made when Cotto was undefeated and destroying everybody. If somebody was going to beat Cotto it could be Floyd and I had high hope for this fight. Than I saw Floyd famous interview where he said he couldn't fight Cotto because Cotto lived in Puerto Rico and I'm like this dude is scared of Cotto.

Floyd was so scared of Cotto and Margarito that when the only fight left to fight at welter was Cotto, Margarito, and his way out was to retired. I can't believed that he has the nerve to say everybody is beating everybody but no one has beaten him.

How ignorant must one be to post a nonsensical arguement after it has already been refuted? I'm starting to think that the people who completely dismiss/ignore the business/political side of boxing do so because they're too ****** to understand it.

Floyd didn't duck Cotto nor Kostya.

That's another good point.

I don't recall Cotto ever screaming for fights with Floyd or Williams, either.

[FirePunch]

Yes sir most these ******s in here weren't watching boxing at that time but cotto use to be like Manny. Was a storming star in the making and floyd straight up punked out . every times cotton name was mentioned he came up with like a million excuses studdering and all


Margarito punked floyd out too.

Im glad people are starting to see mayweathers slimes poosey trail

[jtiger777]

nothing has ever been special to me about cotto, no version of him beats floyd...

[jrosales13]

Whether Cotto could or could not beat Floyd is irrelevant to if Floyd ducked him or not.

The fact is Cotto never offered Floyd anything. Floyd never turned down any fight with Cotto. Ever. Therefor is not a duck.
