Why is mayweather being so respectful this fight?

[snook]

Wow i think Cottos english is pretty inderrated he talks slow but doesnt mean that he hears slow... Im from PR and im 100% sure he'll know if any1 says anything about him! He can even get on an argument im sure! BTW Cotto will shut every one up May 5

No he speaks broken, I'm learning English, English. If Floyd went off on him you think Cotto would know what he was saying?

Are you serious? Floyd has avoided a fight at the mention of Cotto's name for a while, especially right before and after facing Ricky Hatton and after Cotto beat Shane. The TS has a point bc I noticed that too, especially at the press conference in NY. Floyd isn't trash talking for whatever reason inside of him, I ain't saying it's because he's scared. But don't go acting like it's bc Cotto doesn't know English. Cotto can respond perfectly well to trash talking and Floyd wouldn't care if he was being his usual self. Maybe he's just getting older but he would actually use Cotto's lack of English as a way to make more jokes.

Regardless of Cotto "being able to understand" what Floyd is saying, he's not fluent enough in English to have slick comebacks. He wouldn't be able to get a response out of Cotto anyway. Mayorga tried and failed.

That's why Floyd only trash talks to fluent English speakers

He ain't doin it with Cotto because Pac beat him first, just like with JMM.

Downplaying them would make it seem like he's fighting a lesser opponent than Pac did.

Dude get over yourself he knows Cotto is not a *****, plain and simple. He straight bashed Marquez hard on 24/7, I will bet anything he doesn't get into anything like that on Cotto.

Naw! He said over and over again Pac drained Cotto. He thinks Cotto is undefeated, the dude isn't going around trying to sell fights being nice. He knows damn well as well as do you Cotto haters that Cotto may be past it, but he isn't exactly tip top himself. Cotto can/will capitalize and that will make him look ******, not saying he's scared. But controversy sells like hell and if he was spreading the **** some of the posters here on NSB do about Cotto than he would sell more tickets. Floyd respects Cotto and like another poster said they are actually cool.

Because MAyweather wants cotto to sign with golden boy and he's afraid badmouthing cotto would send him(Cotto) running back into the arms of Arum

He didn't bad mouth Ortiz at the conferences either so....

Have you ever made fun of someone who didn't know what you were saying. It's REALLY frustrating...

Right because a person who can't speak English is funny? Nanna Nanna Boo Boo the Puerto Rican boxer cant speak English!!! -__-

I don't understand why you guys have the shortest memories... Floyd never talked **** with Ortiz until AFTER the 24/7. Floyd never talked **** with Marquez until AFTER 24/7 when he drank his piss and honestly, that is funny in all languages.. This is nothing new, the same kind of threads were being made during the Ortiz fight too....

he has to sell this non competitive fight, if he bashes him with facts like hes not the same fighter or that hes a quitter, itll turn people away. People tune in to see Floyd lose, since Cotto isnt talking himself up Floyd has to do it for him.

No, Floyd has no problem belittling his opponents with their past losses and it doesn't jeopardize ppv sales
