Not for nothing but I remember this interview. I was excited because I envisioned a classic clash between two young & undefeated champions that were gonna clash just like Hearns & Leonard & really more like a Duran vs Leonard. But then I heard Floyd respond with this; I already accomplish what I had to do in boxing...And I'm thinkng dude, you haven't accomplished jack-***** now is the time to make yourself a legend like back in da the days, you have Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Mosley & Floyd. How can you say you accomplished everthing when the Welterwgt division is so hot (reminiscent of the Benitez, Hearns, Duran, Cuervas, Palomino & Leonard days)?
As a Fan of this sport can you imagine how I felt to have all these fighters in the same didvision? It was a big let down when he retired, it is because of this that he has hurt his legacy & everyone that was around then remember this is how it went down.Last edited by sugar ray lenrd; 07-24-2017, 09:42 AM.Comment

Even Uncle Roger knew that Floyd was lined up to fight the Mosley vs Cotto winner:
And I quote "Mayweather knows the next opponent for Floyd will probably come out of the Nov. 10 battle between WBA welterweight champ Miguel Cotto and former three division title-holder "Sugar" Shane Mosley."
It was even more evident in this interview after the Cotto vs Mosley fight, Nov 10th, 2007:
@1:38, Cotto says "Mayweather, Hatton, Margarito, De La Hoya, Whoever they put in front of me, I'll fight".
In December 2007, here's what Floyd had to say regarding facing Cotto:
Floyd also said Cotto lives too far and isn't a PPV star.
I think it's quite clear Floyd ducked this fight by retiring for almost 2 years right after.
Here's the Welterweight rankings at the end of 2007:
Floyd Mayweather Jr., Champion
Miguel Cotto
Paul Williams
Shane Mosley
Antonio Margarito
Zab Judah
Kermit Cintron
Luis Collazo
Joshua Clottey
Jackson Osei Bonsu
Oktay Urkal
In 2008, here were The Ring's top 10 Welterweights:
Antonio Margarito
Miguel Cotto
Shane Mosley
Joshua Clottey
Manny Pacquiao
Carlos Quintana
Zab Judah
Luis Collazo
Andre Berto
Isaac Hlatshwayo
Tell me why instead of fighting Cotto, Williams, Margarito, Floyd fought, Junior Welterweight, Ricky Hatton and retired right after?
When presented with Cotto, why did Floyd say "I won't let the sport of boxing retire me, I'll retire before that happens"?
Why did Floyd say this only to continue to fight for another 10 years to this day?Comment

What about what COTTO said????????
He said he NEVER once asked Arum about fighting Mayweather.
What about that??
Everybody Floyd is accused of ducking is with Top Rank
Ducked Cotto
