29 Feb.. Where is the daily Mayweather Cotto thread

if cotto is so easy to beat why doesn't mayweather just do it?

 

Because of the money -- he can make 25 mil for fighting DLH. He figures that Cotto should build up his status before challenging for his title.
Why you think he's taking such a long layoff?

They will fight - the public demands it - if not this year, next year.

How dope would it be if Cotto got the IBF belt and fought Floyd for the WBC and ring belt.

Then the purse is alot bigger, the aticipation is bigger, and they both stand to make alot of money.

 

That fight will be bigger than Hearns/ Leonard

Two undefeated fighters in the prime of their careers both are the best and have beaten the best.

And who's to say that after all that **** thats being talked that Cotto won't lose like Margarit did (after calling Floyd) or how Williams did after mentioning a potential fight with PBF.

 

The way this fight is being anticipated who's to say that they won't have it at Yankee Stadium or the big house (michigan stadium)

 

see aint that a *****

I wouldve loved to see Margarito fight Floyd

But too many mistakes, first not unifying the belts with Baldomir, which wouldve given him the upper hand in requesting a fight. Second fighting Williams when he had an offer on the table to fight Williams.

Williams got caught up in his own hype -- he shouldn't have fought Quintana, he shouldve waited for Margarito or Cintron.

 

Hell yes
I'm from GR and I know that boxing is big here, next to HighSchool sports and UM football.

During the state championship (held in GR) in boxing its like a football atmosphere - cars are painted, thousands are elbow to elbow, mostly drunk, cheering from their hometown fighter.

Last year Andre Dirrell was there and this year the nationals are going to be held in GR.

As far as a fight turning out big in MI, involving Floyd, Forget about it.

NewYorikans, Michiganders, and all casual fans here and there would come, especially if theres a dope undercard.

 

Yeah and the same thing when he fought Julio ... People thought that Julio was going to beat the unknown Quintana and he pulled off the upset.

 

Everything right now seems to be working in Cotto's favor and it seems weird that both he and Floyd are both taking bull**** fights. The great thing is Floyd is fighting towards the end of the year and Cotto is going to fight possibly 3 times this year, giving HBO plenty of opportunities to sell and hype the fight.

I see him beating Gomez and Margarito winning against Cintron, then a fight between the two this summer w/ the winner taking a madatory (in the case of Cotto) or fighting Quintana (in the case of Margarito)
