Cotto is fighting opponents which PBF is avoiding

Hating breeds nut-hugging (based on feeling the need to "defend" said hating), which in turn breeds more hating (and thus, more nut-hugging).

It's a vicious cycle.

 

Funny Hatton weighed over 160 against Collazo.


Yet Hatton weighed 154 on fight night against Floyd.


(Thats what Hatton weighs as a Jr WW on fight nights)

 

Torres, Malignaggi and Quintana were all notable fighters because they all were good enough to win a championship immediately after. Mosley is a notable fight because Shane was an active fighter and he fought well in his last fights leading to the cotto fight. Williams was no up and comer...he beat margo for god sakes...a guy your boy is too ***** to fight. funny how you try to belittle Mosley but are excited about Floyd fighting the very inactive Oscar...twice.

 

You see, this statement right here is a blatant lie. Since everyone here hangs onto every word Floyd Sr. says, check out this video. Skip to 1:30

Also, check out this snippet from a July 2006 article

"Late last night, Boxingtalk.com reached out to the Mosley's to see what the latest news was regarding their potential November 4 showdown with undefeated pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather. Although their Monday afternoon meeting with Richard Schaefer and Oscar De La Hoya was described as "great", we were informed that a deal has not been struck as of now and a follow up meeting has been scheduled for the near future. While we were not provided with detailed specifics, Boxingtalk can inform you that Mosley is currently requesting the lion's share of the money for the Mayweather bout to take place."

There you have it, there were serious negotiations for a Nov. 2006 fight. The negotiations broke down because Shane demanded more money than Floyd. Now most of you will claim Shane deserved more money. However, Floyd was coming off his second straight PPV success by doing almost 400k against Judah. Floyd's popularity was clearly rising at a fast pace. Floyd was also p4p no.1. Fast foward to 2007.

Now in the summer of 2007 Cotto was coming off a victory over Zab Judah that did a little over 200k. Despite this, Shane agreed to fight him and took less money than Cotto. Now everyone will claim Floyd ducked Shane. However, Shane demanded the larger purse against Floyd, then turned around and accepted the smaller purse against a less popular fighter in the form of Cotto only a year later. Despite all of this information that I'm posting, most of you will carry on claiming that Floyd ducked Shane and wanted nothing to do with him.

 

being over weight doesn't mean anything. Hatton can weigh 160, but it doesn't make him a middleweight,...don't be so naive.atsch

 

What are you even talking about?!!?



Im saying Hatton came in fighting shape against Floyd.


Think of Floyd-Hatton as a 140lb fight that took place at 147.

Hatton wasn't carrying the extra weight he tried to pack on for Collazo.

 

:tiredwow that evidence was ****. All I saw was a crackhead...talking about how fat Hatton was.

 

but Hatton was awful at 147...why would a 2nd fight for hatton be any different. Floyd knew that hatton best weight is 140...that why he opted for 147.

 

Because Hatton challenged Floyd...


Hatton knew he doesn't fight great at 147 thats why he came in on fight night weighing what he normally weighs on fight night as a Jr WW.


What are you not grasping?

 

And you dare to speak in behalf of "boxing"?
You honestly think that a professional in the skill level(Officially rated #1 P4P and #1 of his division) of Mayweather will be "scared" of others below him in his division? atsch
Mayweather actually did call Cotto out right after Gatti but didn't get the fight done simply because Cotto was still very new and let's face it, if Torres was tough at 140 for Cotto then what would Mayweather be?, oh yeah I forgot, scared...
The fight will happen, whoever wins this fight will meet the top fighter of the division, it's just a matter of happening in the right time. Saying and believing that Floyd is scared exposes your knowledge of this sport and the business side of it fairly easily. At least try to be more professional if you really love/know this sport.

 

Seriously, you need to learn to read the entire post. So just in case you feel he made all that **** up, I posted an article said that Mayweather and Mosley were in negotions to fight in Nov. of 2006, and that Shane asked for the lions share of the purse. I really don't know what else you want.

 

You're being serious or just saying this to foolish and annoying?
You think Floyd moved up to Welterweight and captures the undisputed title all to "plan"(Conspiracy theory anyone?) a fight with Hatton at a weight he knows he had an advantage at?
Floyd was the 154 WBC champion when serious talks about fighting Hatton were all over the news, remember?, you think Floyd will go all the way from 154 to 140?, they made it clear that since Hatton keeps calling the man out over and over they'll make it happen and at 147 where Floyd was the undisputed champion(Like Hatton was at 140), he accepted and the fight was on.

You also seem to forget that Floyd called Hatton out at 140 after his fight with Gatti and after Hatton came off a fresh/impressive win over Tszyu. You remember what was Hatton's response?, as a matter of fact it was not just Hatton's response but HIS FATHER and TRAINER officially all over the news that they need AT LEAST 2 more fights to be ready. You think Floyd would wait for them to get ready?, hell no, he moved up and had plans to take on the undisputed champion in another megafight which MANY people preferred over a Hatton fight, Zab Judah. The irony here is that many also claimed that Floyd is scared SHITLESS of Judah(Same way they're saying about Marg and Cotto now, I'm pretty sure Freddy-wak and many like you will remember this very very well) then Judah loses the undisputed title to Baldomir and the rest is history. This is getting way too typical and boring, might want to look for another method.

 

Definitely a great win but is that win enough to bring fear in the heart of the undisputed champion and someone as skilled as Floyd?, I don't think so.
