    Mayweather has been around way too long to be exposed. If Cotto were to win, it would be because he fought a great fight.

    u cant expose weakness if he hasnt got any, mayweather is to smart and accurate where as cottos offense will jus play into mayweathers strengths, i say mayweather beats him on a wide ud, but if cotto lands a big right then good night i have no worries in cottos punching power but he is just not good enough to beat mayweather!

    Pull his shorts down and expose his manhood to the world in the middle of a clinch - I assume this is what he means.

    Expose him as what? Some fighters are beyond being exposed pal. Here's a list of great fighters that there is nothing to be exposed. They have proven to have elite skill and the intangibles to use them. They can get knocked out tomorrow night and they will still be great.
    Floyd
    Hopkins
    Wright
    Shane
    Oscar
    MAB
    EM
    Pac
    JMM
    Cotto
    Calzaghe


    Thats just to name a few.

    Castillo exposed that Mayweather does have a weakness, and that's a real hard fight with a guy coming at you non-stop with body work.
    Who does this sound like? Cotto.

    How is that a weakness? :patsch Jesus christ, of course nobody is perfect but it speaks wonders that that fight was 5 years ago and he still won, yet that is the example of his weakness. He improved after that fight and it showed in the rematch, also he was injured in the fight. Funny contradiction is when people say Floyd hasn't proven his greatness because he has never really been tested and had to dig deep in a fight, but the one fight that he was pushed to a limit he is critisized for showing weakness :deal Boxing fans are ****ing brilliant :yep

    what ever game plan floyd employee , whether it be pot shotting , in and out , or shoulder roll counter , it's up to Cotto or who ever floyd is fighting at the time, to figure out a way to beat floyd .

    its also not floyd's job to accommodate his opponent to make it easy for them to beat him, by fighting there fight.
    If floyd where to pot-shot cotto , cotto had better have the experience and skill to deal with or except a loss no excuses .
    Thats boxing ..

    I think the word "expose" is used too often and too literally here. Mayweather is an exceptionally talented fighter, hell he is undefeated! I do think that of late he has become complacent with his boxing career and might not have the determination and drive he did a few years ago. If that IS the case then he should let someone who IS serious about taking on ALL the best fighters in the division take the torch while he goes on to wrestle or promote or whatever. Keeping his ardent fans hanging on to watch him fight less than the best and still try to convince everyone he is still the dominant champion is not worthy of someone who has been labeled pound for pound the best fighter. If you are a professional boxer then you box and if you are the best then you fight the best. Leave no questions unanswered.

    Yo do realize that Floyd had injuries going into that fight right? Floyd beat him alot more clearly when he was healthy. Pressure is not the way to beat Mayweather.

    How can Mayweather be "exposed" Even if he was knocked out in the first second of the first round he would still not be exposed.

    :huh

    Cotto could beat Floyd but only by an early stoppage [Duran] style---otherwise Floyd potshots on the outside and dances to a UD..:smoke :smoke
