The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

n 2007-08, Cotto was the next best welterweight in the world behind Mayweather. A thrilling fighter during his 140lbs title run, he had moved up in weight and easily disposed of Quintana, smashed the over-matched Urkal, stopped Judah and then beaten a resurgent Mosley in an excellent bout. He was by any definition the most deserving fighter to face Mayweather and, with the rabid Puerto Rican fans behind him, he was a legitimate superstar who brought serious financial clout as well. There was no reason for the bout not to be made. But Mayweather instead signed for a pointless rematch with De La Hoya.

Seemingly this wasn't the end of the world for the bout. After all, Mayweather would surely beat De La Hoya and Cotto only had to get through Alfonso Gomez (which he did with ease) and then the two would match up. It was obvious. Then Mayweather "retired" instead of taking the second De La Hoya bout.

 

Whine thread.

 

In 2005, Mayweather was promoted by Top Rank.

Mayweather.

People look 3 divisions up from him to find a worthy challenger.

floyd, " I got the winner of paul williams and sergio martinez"

duck dynasty

 

Pacquiao was a WW just like Floyd was when clamor for that fight began (post-Oscar).

 

Dude, these are not even your own thoughts...you've literally copy+pasted from an article on Slipthejab:

The article is not just about Mayweather ducking people and is actually a decent read if anyone has a spare few minutes.

 

The guy that is 1-2 in his last 3 fights?:think

 

Sugar Ray Robinson once said he'd fight Burley, too...
