I think many of you are in the Hot Tub Time Machine when it comes to Floyd. Look, Floyd is still a great fighter, but again, this isn't a 26 year old Mayweather we're talking about here, and even more so with his fans who (allegedly) have been watching him fight from his early years, it should be pretty evident based on how he fights today in comparison to earlier on. Cotto isn't in his prime anymore, but truthfully, neither is Floyd. That's not to say either guy has one foot in the grave, but someone mentioned that Cotto hasn't done anything impressive in the last couple of years. But what exactly in comparison has Floyd done? Beat a very inexperienced Ortiz and an inactive older Mosley (who Cotto beat years prior)? I'm not trying to **** on Floyd at all, but these are definitely things to consider. I favor Floyd today, but honestly, this fight in itself can help save some of the luster for Mayweather vs Pac if Cotto gives Floyd a hell of a fight making people question if Floyd has lost a step or 2. Adds a bit of intrigue back to Mayweather vs Pac. My 2 cents...
and enough of the "leftovers" ****. if you're around the same division and you're a top fighter, inevitably you're going to fight the same guys, otherwise we wouldve never had fights between Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, and Duran.
Look at you you, trying to sound old or something.
Sorry. I was trying to get under Kev's skin. I made the same point on page 11 or 12, with the rival/leftover thing, even used the same fighters as examples. I was told I'm trying to sound old or something.
I'd give him credit on a good win but I think Cotto can beat him tbh.....people always want to say Cotto is no good but he still one of the best in the business. I say Cotto possibly loses a close decision or he stops Mayweather late.
