    I remember back in 2008 when Cotto was at the peak of his career and seen as one of the best pound for pound fighters at the time. Mayweather was retired at this point, but he had just comprehensively demolished Ricky Hatton.

    How does a pre-Margarito Cotto, without the wear and tear fare against Mayweather?

    -mayweather is not exactly in his prime
    -cotto 2008 at 147 is arguebly not as technically pronounced as the current 154 version
    -cotto is in his prime

    Both were 4 years older when they fought. Both would have been quicker in 2007.

    Still, Floyd ducked the entire welterweight division with that fake retirement during a time when Cotto, Margarito, and Mosley were all beasts.

    Floyd debuted as a welterweight in 2005. It took him almost 5 years to fight one of the welters on the list below for the first time.

    1. Shane Mosley
    2. Miguel Cotto
    3. Antonio Margarito
    4. Joshua Clottey
    5. Paul Williams
    6. Andre Berto
    7. Manny Pacquiao

    See again When I talk about Ni!ggas Not knowing **** about the Sport!!!

    Didn't Floyd Leave Top Rank?? maybe over 5-6 years ago???
    4 years ago When Cotto Was Bob's Big Draw there was No way he would let him Fight Floyd!!! Why?? Because Bob Held the Same Grudge against him like he did for Oscar for leaving him!!!!!

    Remember he wouldn't set up the Oscar and Floyd Fight??
    Floyd had to Buy his way out of Top Rank to get the Fight with Oscar??
    Did ya'll Notice that as Soon as Cotto left Top Rank the Floyd fight was made???
    ...
    I swear You **** Head Don't know Shi!t about Boxing....

    PLEASE!!!!!! RESEARCH **** BEFORE U MAKE THESE THREADS!!!!
    PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not only did Cotto come too late, so did Mosley, and if Pacquiao ever happens, that too. Floyd ducked every elite welter in the division over the past 5 years or so.

    Shane was calling out Floyd for years, pretty much since Floyd moved up to 147.
