    They already said that when Floyd was rumored to fight Spinks for the IBF title at Light Middleweight, though it was something like this.

    "Why Spinks?!?!??!, if Floyd wants to clean up the WW division then why not fight the undisputed champion Baldomir!?"

    Then when that happened they said he's scared from Spinks and Margarito. :rofl Fact is, bull**** will keep coming, like Berto right now and ANYONE worth mentioning or even not worth mentioning. Whether he beats Cotto or not.

    AW,

    Harris called out Mayweather some 5 years after suffering his first lost to Ray Olivera, i.e. in 2000, and days before he lost to Carlos Maussa.

    p.s. :roll:

    He still wasn't undefeated as Aztek Warrior claimed, what's your point?

    Yeah, Maussa is a risk but all the fighters Floyd fought are handpicked. :lol: Yet "Margo's" record is full of risks, like Manuel Gomez and Kermit Cintron. :rofl

    Read carefully. My post was addressed to AW (Aztek Warrior) and was meant to correct his statement - the same way you did.

    Explain this "over-hyped' business to me.

    Who in the hell is saying that Margarito(or Cotto for that matter) is the best boxer in the world.

    There's a buzz going around because these two are real warrior and their fight promises to be full of action.

    MOst here, correctly feel that Margarito is one of the best welters right now. And some feel that he can beat Cotto.

    Again, HOW is he being OVER-HYPED:huh

    Is that 'AND' inclusive? Harris captured the WBA title in 2002 (some IBA belt as well) yet suffered his first lost two years before, that's early 2000. Therefore, there is absolute no point in time where Harris was both a champion and undefeated.

    Morevover, Harris was only at the stage of beating mediocre boxers like Gairy St. Clair and Isander Lacen before losing to Oliveira. What would have given the 2000 version of Harris the right to call out Mayweather who had already captured and defended the WBC title? Harris was still a nobody in 2000.

    Finally, Mayweather was fighting @130lbs whereas Harris was @140lbs in 2000, they were not even in the same weight division.

    Me, Sir, I think you are full of **** and a pathetic hater.

    ''one of the best ww'' and ''can beat Cotto'' are two statements, which you just repeated, that triggered the over-hyped detector.

    Then you have people who stretched it much further.

    Try again and this time without misquoting me.

    I stated "one of the best ww" and "can beat Cotto" NOT "will beat Cotto"

    If any of those seem like improbabilities to you than you're definitely underrating the man:good

    yeah Margo is getting way over hyped.

    If Cotto somehow manages to pull-off a very convincing win over Margo then we might be able to say he was over-hyped.

    ..anything less than that and plenty of doubters will be forced-fed bountiful plates of crow!
