Mayweather will never have a GREAT win......

and why didn't he ever try to make the fight? floyd never offered cotto a fight. and floyd himself says he's the guy that makes the offers so what gives? instead when everyone kept asking him about the fight he rattled off a list of pathetic excuses such as cotto lives too far away, he's not a CEO, etc..and then a fake retirement when the heat was really on to make the fight. you would think he would want to shut them up and fight the best fighter around. he couldn't even use the he's not a draw excuse since cotto was also the 3rd most popular fighter in boxing. instead retirement was a better option.

why didnt he try to make the fight? why dont u ask him? just because he doesnt make a fight u want doesnt necessarily mean hes ducking. a lof of fighters dont make fights, does that make them ducks too? that reasoning is quite childish.

oh well, it's his fault he retired when his division was the hottest..then again , people think he retired because of that..

He just left top rank, he was suing arum for money owed from the gatti and Judah ppvs so why would he fight top rank fighters?

[Kagami Taiga]

and for the ppl talking about prime cotto and margarito, he has better wins on his resume than prime cotto/margarito. would have been great to see him fight them, but they do not make or break his resume.

What has floyd been making since he left arum. Arum said in the interview the de la hoya fight wasnt worth it to him, really the highest ppv fight in history isnt worth it to you. Get real homie, the demands might seem high but floyd ended up making 3 or 4 times more in the long run. Thats not pricing yourself out, its called knowing your worth.

a guarantee is a minimum. he only recieved a 10 million guarantee to fight delahoya yet he made tons more. he wouldn't have made 3 or 4 times more. you are just calculating for the guarantees. plus arum is not a psyhic. he can't predict that floyd would explode in popularity. hence the guarantees. if he makes more great, but if he stays around 400k arum wouldn't lose money.

thats not my point. the point is tszyu and floyd had a 1 year opportunity in which they shared the same weight class. they were both committed to different networks and tszyu lost and retired. there was no realistic opportunity for floyd to fight the man.

one year is more than enough to have fought the best . nonito fought montiel in his first fight at bw as an example.. again im not sayin floyd ducked tszu , im just sayin a tsu win could've been hell of a lot better than just a corrales win

he was asked many times why he's not fighting cotto. here are some of his answers. cotto lives too far away, cotto's not a CEO, cotto's not a ppv star, cotto got wobbled by zab judah(so did floyd). sounds like a duck to me.

[Atreyu Khalil]

yeah offering floyd career high paydays to fight margarito and cotto isn't trying to make the fights. he knew floyd was a coward and would turn down all that money?

Lol....career high paydays vs Cotto and margarito after margarito lost to Paul Williams and Cotto lost to margarito?

[danceswithfire]

He just left top rank, he was suing arum for money owed from the gatti and Judah ppvs so why would he fight top rank fighters?

how is that relevant..did he need to retire just becuase of that? come on

i wonder if they also feel like cotto ducked floyd being that cotto never tried to make that fight happen

[Atreyu Khalil]

So he retired to duck margarito coming off a loss and Cotto coming off a loss?
