He took on the weakest welters and an overated Hatton when there were big names out ther for him Cotto, Cintron, Williams, and Margarito insted he retired (duck'd) until the threats were gone and sure cotto is still there but if he looses to Cotto all his huggers are gona say "the layoff", or "if he was in his prime" which he may or not be in. I wudnt be surprised if he takes on berto then one of the lil dudes (Hatton or Pac) at welter then crys after winning and says hes tired of boxing and wants to spend time w the fam.
Wasn't Cotto trying to fight Hoya? Didn't Cotto, Margo, and Mosley all say they wanted the winner of Hatton/Pacquiao?
Mosley has spent years avoiding Mayweather. He demanded $10 mill to fight him in the early part of the decade, and he ducked out of a fight with Mayweather back in 2006 when Mayweather and HBO were trying to put that fight together. Cotto never fought any of the top guys at 140, his team wouldn't put him in there with Mayweather, and he nor his team made any effort to fight Floyd at 147. Floyd's resume is actually much better than Cotto's yet you're ok with Cotto fighting a guy that Floyd already knocked out while criticising Floyd for fighting the same guy?
He was the champ of a weird Junior Welterweight sub division that existed within Welterweight at the time.Floyd himself,Hatton,Judah,Gatti,Mitchell sort of thing. King of a shadow division within WW,but i never considered him champ over Cotto,Margo or Williams.Not a bit of it. Not a dig at Floyd,just how i felt.
He would have been Scar. Moseley is a different fighter on a different night.The Margo that fought Cotto would have been a nightmare for Floyd,im convinced of that. Well done Shane but Floyd doesnt beat him by proxy.Shane dared, took the lumps and gets the glory. Floyd didnt.
Cant wait to hear the excuses when Cotto mauls Mayweather. (assuming Floyd shocks the world and takes on Cotto)
There won't be any excuses for Mayweather. If Cotto is lucky enough to get past Clottey, he would get whopped by Floyd. You can bet there will be a ton of excuses for Cotto if ever fights Floyd.
Ahh Clottey the forgoten welter who comes in at middle and cant knock out opponents........... hes gona get his w cotto
Yes he would be, with those bricks in his gloves, also you saw what kind of shot it took to get Margarito out of there, remove shane from that fight and replace him with Mayweather, Floyd breaks his hand on that first right hand shot, and Margarito wins.
