But Cotto lives too far away?

[Larry the boss]

So like Pacquiao, Mayweather waited until Cotto got knocked out to sign.

Please don't try to make this a Pacquiao thread

In 2003 Cotto fought Joel Perez on the undercard of Mayweather's title defense against Victoriano Sosa. At the post fight press conference the fighters had words with each other and Mayweather's camp suggested a fight between them. Cotto's camp pointed out that Cotto only had 14 pro fights and would rather wait until he had more experience. About two years later Cotto now the WBO light welterweight champ called out Mayweather and Mayweather said no because Cotto was not a big enough star.

So fans of either fighter might have a argument here.

I would love to hear Cotto calling him out because i never heard that

Who does Cotto call out?

The fight was there to be made and was one of the biggest in boxing in 2008 but Floyd "retired".

I am just quoting what TBear said...

[bigjavi973]

At the end of the day it does not even matter,they fought and both today are still not only world champions but Lineal champions

That's true as well. I had the score a bit closer than some of the cards 7-5 at best (some swing rounds) or 8-4 I had it for floyd.

But like i said,they fought,was a damn good fight and both are still on top of the world so it doesnt even matter.

This right here. IMO you can't send offers to a fighter who's retired.

Yes it was a tough fight i had it 8-4 but wouldnt be mad at 7-5 as Floyd came on in the late rounds..Cotto made Mayweather have to fight like a dog

[DoktorSleepless]

the best one though

floyd "these guys have losses"

"but thats cos theyve fought each other"

floyd "b bb b b b b but"

Wait, where that from? That's hilarious.
