If im not mistaken manny has taken the same amount of damage as cotto has and look where he is at. Why is it a problem that floyd is fighting cotto with 2 losses(beatings) but manny has been in more wars then cotto????????

I would've preferred Floyd and Cotto fighting at 147 when the fight really mattered. But guess what ...?
Don't get it twisted. EVERYBODY knows Arum kept Cotto away from Floyd because Cotto was green.
EVERYBODY knows Floyd would beat Cotto any day, all day at 147. No doubt, Cotto would put on a good effort. May have gone all 12.
But even Arum knew the deal back then.
Apparently, Cotto has broken away from Arum's grip, hence the fight now being made.
At 154, Cotto holds a title belt and is coming off WINS and not LOSSES.
And you can bet they won't fight at no catch-weight.
Apparently, Cotto feels comfortable at 154 to boldly state he can beat Floyd.
Still, 147 would've been the ideal weight for the match.

The only absolute thing about talking in absolutes is that you will absolutely end up wrong.

Originally posted by -Kev- View PostYeah, that's what I don't get. Both times he could've been seen as absolutely elite, he lost. He was an okay fighter who at his best could beat other good fighters, but never could beat the best. He got lucky with Clottey at MSG.
So if he wasn't elite back then, IMO he's far from that now.

He saw a cheap belt at 154 and ran for it...
He could EASILLY make WW..the guy is TINY..
