    I'm still contemplating Kev's reply.
    Wow. You are still crying about that?

    Let me put it in a way you can't miss: You're point sucks.

    Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Duran fighting eachother, you're talking about atg's fighting eachother, all fights taking place mostly when they were all top fighters.

    Mayweather, Pacquiao, two atg's...fight merely a hall of famer, does not compare to the best 4 welters-mw's fighting eachother in the 80s.

    I don't care what your true point is. Just don't even mention Cotto along the lines of atg's ever again, no matter what point you're trying to make.

    I rather have Mayweather, Marquez, Pacquiao and Morales all fighting eachother, and then you claiming what you claimed about leftovers.

Canelo beats Cotto right now at 154, Ortiz and Berto beat Cotto at 147. I wouldn't even be surprised if Guerrero makes it competetive before getting stopped by Cotto.

      I'm down for Canelo, Berto-Ortiz winner, or Martinez.

      If the fight happens, I would 100 percent root for Cotto to win and hopefully retire Floyd. But unfortunately Cotto does not have the tools to beat Floyd, let alone retire him. I will join the Floyd hating parade if this fight happens. Unlike Pacfans, I can not stand any fighter fighting his rivals leftovers, and washed fighters who don't even stand a chance in hell.
      I second this.

        No matter how any one tries to justify leftovers, Floyd brought it on himself for calling out Pac on fighting his leftovers years after he beat them.

        Now he's doing the same, and you can't give him a free pass for it. You can name as many fighters who did it, it will not change the fact that if Floyd does this, he will be a hypocrite.

          Floyd's known for being a hypocrite a lot of the time. He's said alot of hypocritical stuff during his time.

          It'll be no surprise if he takes a fight with Cotto.

          He'll justify it by saying he's coming off 3 'Impressive performances' or 'Stoppages'.

          And the main thing is, it makes money. He's a house hold name, and Mayweather-Cotto will sell, no doubt about it.

          I don't like the fight, but I would not be one bit surprised if it's announced this week.

            I think Comedian is telling the truth. He was the first to report about Joe Frazier's death.

                    I'm taking Comedian's word for it as well.

                    He's been right more than I can remember with his sources.

                    And I just think Cotto is the logical fight to take for Mayweather at this point money wise.

                      It is the most logical fight out there. I just don't see Cotto as that different a guy, I see the same shit as always with him.

                      I can unsderstand not liking the fight, because Floyd should work him but that was always the outcome of this fight today, 6 years ago, 4 years ago or 2 years ago. Cotto is pretty much the exact same fighter he has always been.
