Floyd ducked Margarito and Cotto, period.

[eltortas]

Absolutely true. How does someone "retire" (remember that period) when there are young lions all around at or near your weight class. A true badass clears everybody out. What's dissapointing to me, is that I think Floyd has it in him to rise to the occasion, as he has proven now. But we didn't get to see that closer to his prime. He didn't challenge himself.

[thuggery]

There's no doubt about it, that's for sure. The severity of his ducking was just insane.

floyd would of beat cotto at 140 and 147 cotto could barely watch gatti taking punishment even ricky hatton was scared. floyd would of had problems with margs but would of pot shotted the plodder all night

Yes Floyd ducked Cotto and Margarito and fighting in general. Floyd dont call anyone out, he also dont go out of his way to get fights made.

He also retired, and you have to ask yourself is that neccesary when you only fight once every 2 years or so?

And your still the same empty head as you were talking up Hatton to beat him lol , somethings never change eh , once a whiny hater always a whiny hater .

Thank god this autist got banned...he had issues.

His legacy is damaged by not fighting Margarito and Cotto at 147. At least he fought Cotto in the end, but I would personally add Pacquiao and P. Williams to that list, he should have fought those guys at 47. But he knew what he was doing tbh.

[Champ4Life]

Looking back maybe it's good for him that he didn't fight Margarito. He would've gotten plastered

[Biolink]

He was the guy in position to make any of those fights happen, and he chose Baldomir, enough said.

Case closed, end of discussion.

More like ultimately ended up choosing the fame a De La Hoya fight would ultimately bring him which if he stayed with Top Rank quote unquote from Bob Arum "Wasn't in the cards". Yup it made a whole lot of financial sense to not pursue the biggest fight in boxing(At the time) to fight Margarito and Cotto.

This topic is overdone and its a pointless circular argument. Reed and co should make these topics a bannable offense.

I won't fight Miguel Cotto cause "he doesnt live in the US".

Someone find that video. Its from an ESPN interview.
