Did Floyd dodge Cotto in 2007/2008?

[DJR005]

just put the hate aside for a second tell the truth man do you honestly believe Floyd retired to avoid fighting ****ing Miguel Cotto??

All I'm saying is anytime Floy would be asked about fighting Cotto he would say he's too green but when ESPN pressured him with a question he straight up said " I tried to get this fight in 2006" so how did he go from wanti g to fight him to him being too green? And his other excuse was " it took Miguel Cotto 11 rounds to knock out Judah who had a 10month lay off after I beat him" Miguel ko'd him and floyd was not only knocked down from Zab but didn't even come close to knocking him out. So what exactly was Floyd's point? He changes his story so much that he just looks suspect

[AdamantiumPI]

Yes Floyd did. Floyd is eager now that Cotto has lost and war worn.

THree famous answers FLoyd gave when asked about fighting Cotto.

3. Im not trying to call out any welterweigts

2. Im going to retire from boxing im not going to let bixing retire me

and well known number

1. Miguel lives in Puerto Rico

They also look back 3 years with revisionist history. When Cotto was suggested as a possible fight for Floyd, Floyd was heavily criticized for challenging a smaller fighter who at the time would not have been much of an opponent. The best thing that ever happened to Cotto was not fighting Floyd 3 years ago.

So they criticize Floyd for not fighting a smaller fighter 3 years ago and then they criticize him for fighting Mqz because he was too small

[915angel]

this will be cotto's fate as well

[WESS]

this will be cotto's fate as well

*******s will deny this was Mayweather...

[BoxingGenius27]

this will be cotto's fate as well

I agree Mayweather will win this fight, but here's where I disagree:

1. Mayweather's style from when he fought Bruseles are like night and day comparing his style to now.

2. Cotto's jab is 10x better than Bruseles along with the greater power.

Cotto is nothing special to be ducked or dodged he was rocked eating uppercuts from Judah and barley beat a past prime Mosley.

No disrespect but Cotto is overrated

That's right, perhaps that's the reason why Miguel got a TKO win over Judah compared to Floyd's UD win; and the old Mosley of 2010 got Floyd in trouble in the 2nd round compared to Miguel's 2007 fight with a fresher Shane (where Cotto was never really in serious trouble).

[Dat]

Cotto's jab is 10x better than Bruseles along with the greater power.

Yup Miguel uses his jab as a real weapon, just ask Clottey.

Yes he did!!
