    got to agree mayweather would get pounded by cotto. One thing is for sure without mayweather fighting these top welterweights I can see his legacy is going to fall light years short of what he thinks it is.

    watch lol, Floyd is gon come back if COtto beats Margo, all cotto has 2 do is after the fight call out floyd, say he is a lil ***** and insult his ego on national telivision. ANd dude will b back like a spine. Just b cotto doing that, it would bring in more money for the fight, b/c the public is gon want 2 see it. The world witnessed the disrespect. Everythin will b in place 4 a superfight. The fight with floyd is for cotto to lose. If he wins, I see him and floyd gettin it on. If i were arum i would tell cotto to disrespect floyd on national tv just to get the fight

    cotto will drag mayweather out of retirement when miguel becomes the undisputed welterweight champion (that's if he fights paul williams after margarito) AND P4P KING.

    that's floyd's worst nightmare :rofl

    I agree if Cotto would just call out PBF like Hatton did after his win Saturday night we would get the fight. But we all know he won't do it, he'll just say like a robot "I fight whoever my promoter puts in front of me".

    atleast he means it :deal :deal

    floyd promised tszyu, cotto and margo fights and since then has re-tired 4230982048942309 times :lol: :lol: :lol:

    why does everybody gotta be so disrespectful towards him in order to get the fight....the people want it and that should be enough for his girly ass to fight....after every cotto and gayfeather fight they get asked about each other, so i'm sure the fight can be made easy, and do good on the numbers too.....

    it's like having a fine ***** at the club and all you can do is wish she would get naked, jump right on your dick till you cum...knowing that all the other guys wanna **** her too but your the only one with a chance.....:-( :-(

    Cotto is a guy who has developed over the years into someone who is as good as they get in my view.

    At 20, he was a product who could jab, hook and bring pain onto his opponents, the problem was he favoured certain punches a bit too much, his left hook for instance.

    Against Malignaggi, the first signs of a more intelligent Cotto began to develop, Malignaggi had the handspeed advantage, first time for Cotto, so Cotto busted him to the body and went up top.

    Against Judah, I felt Judah fought one of his better fights, mentally he lost because he stopped throwing that right hand that was doing the damage, but it did prove that Cotto can take a shot at 147.

    Sugar Shane was just a continuation of the development, showed he could outhustle a hustling boxer, showed he was capable of working a game against a good tactician.

    Margarito is going to show whether or not Cotto will do all it takes to win, he is superior in most attributes to Margarito, this will come down to toughness, heart and breaking ability.

    If he comes through Margarito, you've really got yourself a finished product.

    He has a very productive jab that rarely sees him hit by other fighters when throwing it, he has some of the best body busting shots in the game and throws them from a good shell, protecting himself.

    He's got good combinations and a lot of snap in both hands.

    The one area he needs to increase his ability is head movement and protecting himself when other fighters have as good/greater handspeed than he does. He tends to get hit a little too much for my liking.

    More bull**** lies from you? PBF didn't back out of a fight with Zoo the fight could have never been made PBF was a HBO fighter and Zoo was a Showtime fighter. Quit making **** up just to suit your bull**** agenda. :hi: BTW your boy is getting his ass kicked come Saturday night.

    Floyd has retired twice only, how many times did Chavez retire?, why is that legal for him to do but not for Mayweather?, because you have Chavez' picture all over your ass?

    We went through the Cotto/Margarito discussions enough times and you never came up with any half decent reply, in addition, my last reply to yours was straight-out ignored.

    A CLEAR hater like yourself is making it sound like Mayweather is just a challenger in the division when in reality all those you mention were actually the challengers. Mayweather was the undisputed champion in the division and did either fighter do anything worth mentioning to EARN a shot?, please remember yelling behind a microphone ISN'T everything in boxing. I'm talking after his fight with Baldomir and Oscar.

    An obvious hater.
