Did he defend the paper belts in these divisions????
    You shooting your self in the foot what great champs did Floyd beat? It goes both ways but PAC will have a greater legacy and that eats you up inside. I hope PAC and Floyd groupies die already. For once be realistic you clowns

      Dude, you are barking up the wrong tree. I watch BOTH of these guys, but am a bigger fan of other fighters than these two to be honest.

      Pac's legacy doesn't eat me up inside-in fact, BOTH guys have a great legacy- but I like to point out that despite all the criticism, Floyd has fought great fighters and gets less credit for opponents that Pac gets praised for.That much cannot be denied.

        the difference between cotto and mayweather is cotto isnt afraid to challenge himself.

        imo mayweather could quite easily take martinez on and win the middleweight title. sadly, he has no balls. more interested in protecting his 0, self preservation and money.

          why did cotto refuse the fight for such a long time and is open to taking it now?

              I don't understand why Floyd don't fight Martinez. It's a huge legacy fight and Sergio is there for the taking.

                I'm just wondering why Cotto's refusing to take the fight for so long doesn't matter. I'm not trying to disparage miguel at all, but how come his actions are not scrutinized and and his reasons analyzed the same as other fighters.

                      Exactly. People are acting like Cotto's taking this huge risk.

                      If's win win for him.

                      If he loses, he was supposed to. He's still going to get big fights and be in the exact same position he's in now.
