    There's a reason he was 7-1 underdog, there was a reason that Floyd was calling out KO when he usually doesn't do that.

    There's a reason that we are talking about what a great performance Cotto put on and he only won 3-4 rounds...hahaha

    Nobody gave Cotto a chance to win except maybe his die hard fans, this fight was a shocker and it's the reason we are talking about it today.

    Floyd fighting Cotto was never thought of as a risk.....sorry.
    The reason he was a big underdog is because he wasn't going to win unless he got lucky. Who won? Mayweather so the bookies were right. Everyone that knows Mayweathers style knows that good pressure fighters would be his biggest problem. People are so excited not because Cotto won a few rounds (there would be some talk but not like this) but because they actually saw Mayweather bleed. The guy is so great that if he bleeds in a fight fans make thousands of threads around the internet. Burton/Augustus busted up Mayweathers nose big ****ing deal. He was much more hurt in the Mosley fight than he ever was in the Cotto fight.

    Pacquiao gets his ass kicked every fight so nobody gives a **** when he's busted up. He was crying in bed for a week after the margarito fight. LOL

      Yeah, he won by KO, deal with it

      If the same Cotto we saw against Floyd fought Pacquiao he'd get stopped again. Floyd doesn't have the necessary attributes to stop a guy like Cotto.

        You mean like Pacquiao wanting Cotto to come down to 147 and then not wanting it because Cotto wanted 154?

        Mayweather cherry picked a fighter Pacquiao was scared to fight above 147.

          You didn't make your point though. Ok so we agree that Cotto made him bleed won 3 maybe 4 rounds and that's why we are talking about it.

          But the reality is, a pressure fighter is tailor made for a counter puncher if you didn't know that. The only reason people say Floyd can't handle pressure is because of 1 fight against Castillo, other than that what pressure fighter gave Floyd a serious fight?

          Also, Cotto isn't the pressure fighter he once was or that your making him out to be. Maybe 4-5 years ago but now he picks his spots more than anything and we even saw Floyd pressure him in the middle rounds.

          Sorry but Cotto had no chance against Floyd and you proved my point, thus being a non RISK to Floyd.

            Shame Pacquiao wasn't as confident as you. Mayweather had 10 oz gloves Cotto would have been a lot more cut up if they had 8 0z (which Cotto refused)

              Its the other way round. Pressure fighters are the worst style for counter punchers, its pretty hard to counter when someones got you pushed against the ropes pounding on you. Go watch Ali-Frazier or if you want more recent the average Diaz causing JMM massive problems.

                  Of course you want to retire Floyd, you took a beating. But wait for the cuts and bruises to heal you may feel differently. On second thoughts, perhaps you wont as you were always little bit more sensitive than most fighters. Cotto beating you may have tipped you over the edge.

                  But yes you need to fight Pac, Sergio and khan. If you threaten retirement, im sure Khan will go straight for you rather have warm up fights if you prefer?

                  But getting paid as much as floyd he can afford to retire. Is there anyway possible Floyd gets paid less in the future to keep him fighting?
                  the divisions to thin that's funny he retired cuz it was too much competition. he is acting like such a p*ssy over this pac fight it's laughable and pathetic. if he retires it will be temporary because of his madobe ******** problem

                    Why are you so obsessed with Pacman? And Mayweather wouldn't have gotten ate up by the 8oz gloves either?
