Floyd straight up ducked Cotto in 2008

[Elroy The Great]

You didn't watch the video If you are claiming that Floyd said he will fight anyone who Is In front of him. From 3:15 on he says he Is done calling out welterweights and Insinuates retirement by saying he has accomplished everything he needed to In boxing and has nothing left to prove. So what do you mean that there Is not a link provided that proves Floyd was ducking Cotto?

personally, talk means zilch.

links or nevermind

[Don Pichardo]

Cotto was never going to beat Mayweather. Cotto wasn't that good. It doesn't matter if they fought in 2006, 2008, or 2012, Mayweather would beat Cotto easily every time.

Maybe
But point if te post is that Floyd didn't think so.

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.

You're troll game is falling off

"Floyd ducked Cotto"





Cotto ADMITTED he never asked Arum about Floyd...and your gelded ass STILL continues to lie.

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?
