Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr. on Floyd-Cotto, Retirement, Merchant Fix

[A-Wolf]

Good number of people have been saying Mayweather could have stopped Cotto in the 12th. He definitely had Miguel badly hurt, but to me that's a little presumptuous. Cotto has been in serious, serious trouble a good number of times in his career, but he's very hard to put away. Fans who have seen the Corley fight, Torres fight, Judah fight, and Margarito I, know what I'm talking about.

It is kind of funny that Floyd would apologize to Merchant and never to his father.

In Jr's terms, would that mean Sr's still the bigger man?

All of the Mayweather's avoid to mention Martinez as a possible opponent for Floyd, why is that? Are they scared of him? Martinez is P4P #4, so Floyd can fight Cotto at 154 lbs. not Martinez, why?

Senior has already said that he thinks Sergio is too big. He always talks about Floyd's size and how he thinks Floyd has to stop at some point from a weight thing. That he's always been a smaller person and that he's fought a ton of bigger guys but it gets to a point where some guys will just be too big and he thinks Sergio is

Same question goes for PAC, MARTINEZ said he would come down to 150 to fight PAC how come PAC didnt take it, I mean he did fight Maragrito AT 154 the same guy that KOd MARTINEZ. Why is that? MARTINEZ even said I know PAC wont fight me so I'll pursue FLOYD. How come FLOYD has to keep moving up and weight to prove to yall he's the best but PAC is allowed to fight Bradley who hits just as hard as Malignaggi.

Pacman had better performance against common opponents compared to Floyd....YESSS!
Both Pacman and floyd fought Cotto, De La Hoya, Mosley, Hatton and Marquez..Floyd can only boast off a much better performance against a smaller and a lightweight Marquez who he fought on his advantage when he came in over the stipulated/agreed weight.Floyd fought Marquez who just went two division up and campaigning for the first time on this unfamiliar weight.Pacman got the upperhand against bigger and stronger fighters(Cotto, De La Hoya, Mosley, Hatton).In short, Pacman edges Floyd 4-1 against common opponents.Floyd got only 1 against smaller Marquez.Pacman fought Cotto near to his comfort zone(comfortable weight), much fresher and three years younger while Floyd fought a very damaged Cotto(lost and badly beaten by Margarito and Pacman), not on his best weight, 3 years older…So,Pacman is much better than floyd against common opponents…plain and simple.

if maywaether thought cotto was tough what will pacquiao do to him

That makes absolutely no sense, you cant say because one guy KOd or beat a similar opponent worse then the other that automatically means he'll beat FLOYD. Marquez weighed 144 the same as he did when Marquez beat PAC( yes I meant when Marquez beat PAC) and he did this after getting beat by FLOYD. If there is no difference in fighting De La Hoya or Cotto at 154 then why did PAC demand a catch weight. There's a huge difference. PAC beat De La Hoya, Hatton, and Mosley all after FLOYD did, so how does PAC get credit and nbot FLOYD?

pac man and floyd have 2 very different styles this logic makes no sense

You can't explain that to some people, if that logic made sense that means Barrera should have beat PAC considering he beat Morales twice, the last man to beat PAC. That makes absolutely no sense at all. Of course PAC will beat certian guys worse he's more aggresive, Mayweather is a more technical fighter.

head movement poses problems for both Cotto with movement showed that Mayweather can't hit you at will, it would be an interesting fight I doubt it would be easy for either fighter.

Dont you see how contradictory this sounds? Ok so even though Pac beats everyone better than Floyd it dont mean Pac beats Floyd, ok if that makes you happy. So even though Pac beats everyone better than Floyd it dont stop about people boasting Floyd did well against JMM does it? Even though they have nothing to boast about as Pac beats people better than FLoyd on the whole.
If Pac beating people better than Floyd dont prove Pac would beat FLoyd, why dont Floyd prove that theory wrong by fighting Pac? Thats what hes got to do to prove that Pac beating people easier dont mean he will beat FLoyd.

All these fighters yall keep naming for FLOYD to fight MANNY can fight as well I mean PAC and FLOYD are both 147lb fighters right? So if FLOYD can move up and challenge a young fighter like Alvarez then why can't MANNY. If you want FLOYD to move up and fight MARTINEZ why can't PAC. If you want FLOYD to fight KHAN why can't PAC. FLOYD could beat all those people and most would still find something to say about it. PAC is a 147lb Champ then why is he fighting Malignaggi sorry I meant Bradley I got them confused becuase they both hit with like theyre wearing pillows and pose no threat to PAC.
