and when floyd wins??? he beat the man who DESTROYED cotto....then he will beat mosely or whoever is in front of him...then what is his legacy...#1
He beat Castillejo, Wright, and Quartey. A bit more than a punching bag. The steroid thing, well, yes, but then we have to turn up our noses on RJJ and Mosley as well.
u said he does not belong??? pac has fought one guy at ww COTTO whom floyd would annihilate..ODLH was a frail mess..floyd is now fighting pac....so there is ur rivalry....i dont hate on pac he is great....but he lost to morales then morales was clearly done in the third fight...MAB the first fight was a good win and the two fights with marquez were good fights...i thought it was 1-1...u only have rivals when u have close fights....floyd does not have close fights...because he is so dominant...people on here act like he fights bums...he ko'd hatton, destroyed JMM, beat oscar giving up 15 lbs the night of the fight, beat JCC X2, beat diego in DOMINANT fashion, dominated gatti, judah, baldo, chavez, hernandez, manfredy, ndou, augustus, famoso....he dominated every fight he has been in...then he retired and pac beat up cotto which I saw coming so it set up a mega fight which he immediately accepted....so now they fight...winner being the best....
There is now Fab 4. There is not a group of four great fighthers who have fought each other (ex. JMM never fought Morales, Mayweather never fought Cotto, Mosley never fought Trinidad).
wouldn't fight mosely??? other way around....mosely was nothing til he beat margo...noone wanted it including shane...beating one beaten up fighter is not cleaning house....let floyd fight pac and get back to me ....all of pac wins lately were against bigger guys that drained to make weight
what would make u think floyd cotto would be close or margo lol or even shane or PW....just fighting those guys wouldn't have made his legacy any better if he completely dominated them because there would just be excuses for each of them by fans
The problem is he's getting old, I mean he's already 32 going to be 33 before he fights Pac. So yeah he probably has a few good fights left in him but even if we say he's still in his prime he isn't going to stay that way much longer. It's really a shame I mean looking at him he had the skill to be up there in the top 25 ATG or even better and he just threw it away even going so far as to retire for close to 2 years in his prime. I really wish he had been beaten in his early career because that 0 loss is holding him back. He wanted to keep it so bad that he didn't take any risk with it. I think he is now realizing that number is meaningless and all of the ATG have lost its what you get for fighting the best. So he's putting his record on the line because he knows if he doesn't do it a few times before he retires he will never be the legend he wants to be.
he already fought the best at 154 and beat him...noone at ww is in his league right now....he would be a huge favorite against any of them...and why 154-160 he has come up 5 weight classes himself and beat champions in every one of them
