Cotto was not ready for someone like Floyd back then. To put into perspective, Floyd have been a world champ for 7+ years already when Floyd wanted Cotto. Cotto just had a belt at 140, no major wins over anyone of note (Good wins, but nothing major). Of course, Floyd seemed to have changed his tune later when Cotto was at 147.
uncle roger one night went to the strip club and brought a slut home banged her and the next morning floyd made her brekfast and now shes a part of team mayweather, enter ms jackson.
fast forward to 3:00, larry mentions a bunch of other people he ducked too [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX5cfFJuwDo[/ame]
you realize Mayweather came out of retirement to fight Hatton also right? So how many times is he going to keep coming out for just "one more fight"
Yeah he was origianlly going to retire after baldomir, but then Oscar came and accepted the fight finally. Then he decided to come back for one more fight with Hatton. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2952696 This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
i may be wrong here but didnt cotto say no at 140 now as stupid as this may sound floyd trumped this ducking **** in the long run ppl say he avoided williams cotto margo cintron mosley blah blah blah he retired williams beat margo, only to lose to quintana, only to win and move up margo beat cintron again then cotto and lost to mosley then floyd beat mosley does that in a way kind of just show floyd was better or wasnt ducking? i mean he retired and nobody emerged dominant from the so called guys he avoided then he beat "the man" or at least the guy who emerged with some form of lineage idk its crazy not 100 percent my belief but it must count for something
That video was shot in 2007, Cotto had been at Welterweight for 2 years and had just fought Zab Judah. (Plus he had a belt).
He tried to make fights w/ Cotto when he was still at 140. Figured that's what you were referring to, since it was before this.
how do we know how mrs ellerbe would have done agaisnt them if he never fought them? ofcourse they lsot to each other they were fighting top level competition.
