Floyd straight up ducked Cotto in 2008

[Chollo Vista]

So...which TR fighter had Floyd fought until Manny then?

You're using flawed thinking called a slippery slope.

If Arum was the problem, why did Floyd say Cotto isn't a PPV star, lives too far and will retire from boxing before boxing retired him?

Floyd had no problem saying when Arum was at fault per the negotiations with Pac. Why are you putting excuses in Floyd's mouth 2 years before the fact?

Floyd is a big boy. I think Floyd knows how to say "I can't fight Cotto because Bob Arum", don't you?

Cotto said he was too green for the fight when Floyd was at 140 and in his prime.

Great so if Floyd was prepared to fight Cotto in 2005, then why did he say "Cotto lives to far, isn't a PPV star and will retire from the sport of boxing before the sport of boxing retires him" when asked about Cotto in 2007?

They blame Arum when it comes to Floyd.
They blame Pacquaio when it comes to Pac.
I guess Arum is less evil than Pac.

Because Mayweathers plan was to retire before Cotto even got the lucky decision over Mosley?

How was he supposed to fight Cotto? Mayweather planned to retire after the DLH fight.

1. Easy by fighting Cotto like uncle Roger planned on doing before the Hatton fight.

2. Because he saw Cotto, Williams and Margarito waiting on him. Makes sense why he fought little Ricky Hatton who almost got stopped by Collazo and then retired to only continue fighting for another 10 years.

Makes sense

Mayweather was getting questioned about Cotto and Williams before Cotto fought Mosley.

Makes sense why he wanted to retire

Let's be real here...who thinks at ANY time in cottos career that he beats Floyd? He wouldn't....flawed thinking is assuming he somehow could.

Only selecting bits you want to answer and ignoring the rest?

Cotto wasn't the clear #1, he wasn't anymore avoided than Mosley or Margarito. In the end Mosley came out as the clear number 1 and Mayweather dominated him.


The End.

Why are you asking me when Floyd already answered for you?
