Do you think Mayweather ducked Cotto out of fear?

[turbotime]

But that is not the issue when it comes to Floyd really. Because Cotto was someone who was supposed to be Floyds toughest challenger at that time and his toughest opponent to date, and Floyd never made an effort to show he could beat him. Floyd is supposed to be so great without having fought the best opponents so no one cares if Cotto screamed anything!

Floyd was supposed to be the best, yet we dont know if he could beat Cotto at that time. Cotto was beating people just the way Floyd was, so what right did Floyd have to be proclaiming himself the best? Margarito was a player then as well, and people said Floyd was scared to fight him.

Every fighter says/thinks they are the best. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

Cotto is slow and flat footed. I love cotto but, may would have beat the living **** out of cotto. I can explain everything but, it doesn't matter. Hey if cotto wins and looks good i would love to see cotto may next year.

Yea yea the woulda, coulda, and shoulda. Now it would just be another fight, it won't be anything like it was back in 07 when Cotto was undefeated.

Some say Cotto was not interested in fighting Mayweather as well. And I don't understand that silly reasoning. Promoters and the boxers' managers put these fights together. Why would Cotto's team not interested in a big fight like that? Tell me why?

If he did and we know he woulda won it woulda been oh we knew this would happen, he was too slow, too green.. blah blah blah

By the way, I want to make something clear before I'm misunderstood. I started this thread to get opinions of other posters. This is not a hate thread.

I remember watching interviews of Mayweather in which he was asked about Cotto and he either said that Cotto was too green or that Cotto was not a big name to deserve a shot. I found that ridiculous because Cotto was already making a lot of noise at welterweight and had been mentioned, for years, as a potential rival for Mayweather.

I understand boxing politics, promoters, etc. but I never saw an interest in Mayweather. Maybe if he said he wanted to fight him but the promoters were not agreeing then I would not have any questions. Everyone's entitled to an opinion and I just want to see the general impression regarding this matter.
