I mean, he was past his prime when he fought floyd right? Although he was champion...he wins 3 rounds against Floyd and he troubled Floyd?lol-wow
He made Floyd's nose bleed with jabs.lol---floyd struggled...gtfoh..
You people have lost your mind on this site....cotto loses to Manny at a cw for an interim title if you ask me....Shane was the true ww champion if you ask me....yes, tony may have cheated to beat cotto but we don't know for sure....I think he did also but who knows....
anyway, cotto is known for fighting for vacated titles...look at his Jr we run and beginning stages of his ww run....
So was cotto in his prime when he fought Manny? Was the fight with clottey not bad? Was the lost to margarito not mind boggling? His 1st lost....you're never the same...cotto is Manny's best win at ww no doubt....but was cotto in his prime in 2007 and 2008 when he beat Shane and lost to margarito? I know, I know....Floyd ducked these years right.....
He didn't fight an unknown Paul Williams...or margarito who lost to Paul Williams, and Shane who turned Floyd down in 1999 by asking for 10 million dollars(read between the limes of this request folks), 2005 and 2006 after he neat Vargas, then wants Floyd in 2007 after Floyd beat his boss, Oscar, and realized how much money there was to be made with Floyd now, but Floyd fights hatton thus showing us that he was in controll of boxing's big fightss at that point.....Oscar' hatton, and Shane turned Floyd down I'm 2004 and 2005.... Now he was on top of the negotiating table due to his record with Oscar....
Shane wasn't a draw in terms of ppv at that point...he fought cotto instead on HBO and lost to him....was this cotoo,s prime folks?
Cotto started boxing pro in 2000, 2001 something like that....and started at 140...Floyd started in 96 and at 130, And agrees to fight cotto and hatton for 10 million each. After he fought margarito in 2006 and arum said no....so Floyd wanted Oscar....arum pissed Floyd off, seeing how bobbo gave Oscar everything and kept Floyd waiting for so many years and Floyd felt like he was being used...arum knew he would beat Marg's ass and wanted to get rid of tony but was mad Floyd wanted Oscar and toprank had bad blood....all that money to be made.....and Bob would be cut out of it....
Think about it people.....Floyd was owed money from the gatti and Judah fights...problems within to prank was the reason for this debiacle. Floyd had legal issues and wanted big paydays....his arrogance and lack of push compared to Oscar caused all of this bad blood between him and arum...
He never ducked margarito, cotto, and other to prank fighters....Bob arum is to blame solely...he never wanted to sacrifise cotto to Floyd until Bob could cash out on cotto and cotto never ever pursued Floyd....he knew, especially after the corley fight that Floyd moving up to 140 wouldn't hurt Floyd weight wise...
