Mayweather's prime was way back at 130 pounds and a long 9+ years ago, so, everybody since then have been chickens getting the watered down, post-prime version of Mayweather.
FACT: Mayweather and his team/promoter/handlers offered Cotto a fight in 2006. Cotto turned them down.
and fact floyd waited until cotto and mosley were close to shot to fight them.:scaredas: so, im making this shite up now. :wall tell me where im lying again :roll:
I always thought it had to happen early 2013 or not at all. I'm pretty sure this is legit. Mayweather knows he is running out of time and is probably now sure Pacquiao has declined sufficiently enough to beat him. Before end of year: Pretty sure PAC rematches Bradley Khan will fight Marquez Mayweather also have tune up fight...maybe Cotto again THEN THE BIGGEST FIGHT IN HISTORY IS ON!!
tell me again when he faced prime mosley, cotto, paul williams and margarito? i got to hear this. its just like 2009 all ova again when pac was prime, he ran like forrest gump. if this fight ever happens, it will be just like history already has written, floyd waits until they r watered down then he fights them
Mayweather is 4 years older than Cotto is. 1. Mayweather offered Cotto a fight in 2006. 2. Cotto turned it down. 3. Mayweather offered Cotto a fight in 2012. 4. Cotto accepted. Cotto waited to fight him until he felt that the reward (purse) was worth the means (risk of defeat on fight night). But I'd love to see you say that this is less true than your opinion.
and mosley? oh, wait i forget floyds resume is top notch. look at all the other top fighter he has faced. keep suging that dig if he ever fights pac it will be another watered down version of mosley and cotto AND THIS IS FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!:deal :hi:
I was pointing out when Mayweather was in his prime, not the prime of his opponents. At 130 pounds, he fought prime versions of Corrales, Manfredy, Jesus Chavez, and Carlos Hernandez. At 135, he twice fought a prime version of the best lightweight of the whole 2000's decade in Castillo. At 147, which you insist on pretending is the only division he has competed at, he fought the best ever versions of Baldomir and Ortiz. Although not in prime and inactive himself, he beat then #1 ranked WW in the world, Mosley. Beating 36 year old lightweight Marquez in a 12-0 shutout at a weight, where Marquez would two years later weigh exactly the same and all but defeat Filipino hero Manny Pacquiao, certainly deserves much respect in retrospect. That, or Pacquiao's MD win over him at that same 142 pounds is a very, very horrible defeat. Hatton, although never established at WW, was at his prime, 43-0, when Mayweather fought him at WW. Zab Judah was one fight, less than a year, removed from being the lineal king of the division. After Mayweather beat him, he would go on to become the second best victory of Miguel Cotto's career at welterweight.
Hey, most of you guys on this thread might not like him but at least between the two of them Floyd never did business on the side with the mafia, ala Bob Arum and Don King, and Floyd definitely didn't do any business in South Africa during the apartheid era as did Arum and King, Floyd didn't need diplomatic immunity in regards to admitting that he accepted or did bribes for fights with former IBF president Bob Lee, and mind you it's Bob who's been doing his own corrupt thing of promoting since 1966, long before Floyd or Oscar were even born, that has a much larger rap sheet when it comes to lying to the people/pubic including getting everyone to believe that there were actual negotiations taken place for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight back in the summer of 2010 when in fact there weren't and so much he even got the at the time HBO chairman Ross Greenburg to lie for him on the matter only for Bob "Bobfather" Arum to later on stab Greenburg in the back for his refusal to put Bob's Cotto-Mayorga fight on HBO/PPV and used his slimey powerplay by taking Manny off HBO and forcing Greenburg to resign in light of all the controversy. So between the two if we have to take someones word with a grain of salt or if at all it's definitely Arum.
world class beaters, huh. this is 2012. u r going back years, man. where is cotto, mosley, margarito, paul williams & now pac in their primes? they were the best of their divison and he never faced 1 when they were. his resume is weak, baldomir, bruseles, mitchell. de la hoya was close to shot, hatton was a 140 king, marquez was a liteweight, mosley was 38 years old plus he waited more than a year to face him after molsey destroyed margarito :roll: ortiz is 1 dimensional almost everybody on their radar had floyd winning easily in that 1. and cotto was already in 2 freakin wars fighting an ordinary 1 legged foreman, a clearly shot mayorga, a shot to shite margarito with 1 fuggin eye, who was destroyed by pac before this fight. keep smokin' *****:hi:
Pac Bradley 2 will be boring, Kahn has in no way earned the right to fiht a boxer of JMM's caliber. May-Cotto 2 is plausible and this is no longer the fight it was gonna be 3 years ago, and definitely not the biggest fight in history, They can shove this fight up their ****ing asses before I will pay to see these 2 washed ****s fight each other 4 years after we asked for it.
Neither are in their prime but both are still best P4P. You will, like everyone else, eagerly watch this fight.
