    I think Arum has nothing to be scared of from Void Mayweather. Cotto would out work Void. Void also refused to fight Margarito. Margarito beat Williams, but judges were one again criminals. Why didn't Williams give Margarito a rematch? Yet Williams is getting one from Quintana. Why is that?

    To me Floyd has peaked. Cotto is only going to get better.

    Back in the early 70's Joe Frazier got disrespected too, then come fight night, Ali found out he had created a monster that was in the other corner wanting to rip him apart.

    PBF would be best to fight Cotto now.

    I think he may fight him after the De La Hoya fight. There isn't anyone else around really that has a name that will bring in the cash. That's probably why didn't fight him yet..wanted to secure the second fight with De La Hoya since he'll get paid a **** load. His earnings would go down if he was to fight Cotto, somehow lose and then challenge Oscar again.

    If you're a promoter . . . will you not be afraid to lose your "goose that lays the golden egg?"

    HMM, it seems like I heard this from you before.....Wait that is the same thing that you were saying about Floyd fighting Hatton..then once the fight was made you cried like a school girl that the fight wasnt at 140...Your just bitter as hell.

    What will your excuse be after Floyd fights and beats Cotto?? And dont give me that crap bout "I would give him respect" Cuz you would then start cring about him not fighting someone eles. Just like you did after the fight with hatton was done.

    Cotto is the only fighter out there who can challenge Mayweather. Alot of people are coparing Hatton to Cotto but they are nothing alike. Granted they are pressure fighters, but both bring a completely different type of pressure.

    Hattons pressure is to outwork and maul you whilst being quite reckless, whereas Cotto lets not forget is a very good boxer as well. Hatton made Mayweather look great in the fight he didnt jab his way is and he didnt throw punches at mid range to work his way in, but Cotto does this.

    If the fight ever goes ahead Floyd should start favourite but i think Cotto has a legitamate chance to beat him. Cotto wont make it easy for Floyd.

    Floyd would do the same to Cotto what he did to Ricky. Cotto hasn't got the chin to take it from Floyd. Floyd by TKO/KO in 11

    Cotto is too slow to beat Floyd. But your right Cotto and Hatton are nothing alike. Cotto is measured and he would make it abit harder for Floyd to counter him.

    but i just think that he doesnt have the handspeed, and I will tell you this much, if he fights Floyd the way that he fought Old Shane he will get his a$$ handed to him, Chico style.

    agreed - he will milk the cotto cow till the very absolute last drop he can the son of a *****. All for this ****ing stupid aura around a perfect '0' on a record.

    And yes - floyd knocks him out.

    Of course Aram is worried about Cotto chalking up a loss, my thing is Cotto will make a great fight of it. I still lean towards PBF if he where to fight Cotto but make no mistakes about it Cotto will combine his strength, determination and underrated skill that night and show many so called boxing experts that Cotto is the real deal.

    This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard ..Arum has made several attempts to make the fight but ego's are the bigger obstacle !

    I doubt Arum is scared of making more money especially the type of money that a Cotto Mayweather fight would generate ..

    Can anyone say Trinidad v Hopkins?

    That will be simular to this fight -- even though I think Floyd will take the advantage early and stop him mid rounds.
