If Mayweather beat Cotto, would you leave him alone?

some would,some would mention margo etc...

 

No cause he should be cleaning house go after Mosley.

 

If he doesn't move up to fight Calzaghe at LHW four days later he's a yellow-bellied fraud.

 

Yep.. Win or lose, people will always have excuses for either side.. Until then, it's a battle between the posters..

 

Leave him alone? Holy **** man. If he beats Cotto he is doing what the Welterweight champ and P4P champ is supposed to be doing. Fighting and beating the best possible challengers. No, I wouldn't leave him alone. I will continue to hold him to the highest standard as long as he claims he is the best fighter in the world.

 

I would.......almost.

I also want him to clean the division out so he can really move up the ATG list. He probably won't do that if he beats Cotto and will probably just retire undefeated and CLAIM that he was the greatest ever but he didn't beat everyone during his era to earn that claim. So in that sense, i guess people will always have a gripe with him unless if he fights everyone.

 

it depends entirely on how great he then says he is. If he does not run his mouth about being better than Sweet Pea, Robinson etc, then fair enough. He can retire as P4P king and best fighter of the decade.

But if he does claim to be the GOAT, or something similair, he should fight Mosley, Margarito, maybe even go up to MW. Very long way up I know, but Leonard beat a far more formidable MW champ than Pavlik....

If not, at least stick around and fight Berto, maybe a Peterson brother, if they do develop into world class fighters.

 

WINNER!

If he beats Cotto that's awesome. I'd be glad if he took the fight and lost at this point.

If he beats Cotto he should move on and take on a few more welterweights...2-3 at least.

 

Yes then. If he beats Hoya again and then beats Cotto I believe he would be very highly regarded. I would certainly give him massive amounts of credit.

 

A rematch with ODLH is lose-lose unless he knocks Oscar out.

 

Let me make this clear. If you go around saying you are the greatest boxer of all time, and have been considered p4p #1 for a number of years, you do not fight over the hill fighters, and junior welterweights. You go after everybody in your weightclass. Floyd essentially has no excuses. He is in possibly the toughest division in boxing today, and he is still refusing to clear it out. He hasn't fought Margo, Cotto, Mosley, or Williams. And all of your arguements are void. You cannot say, "Why would he fight Williams, he has just been beaten by Quintana." Likewise, you cannot say, "why would Mayweather fight Margo, he was beaten by Williams". No, instead ask yourself this question.

Why would Mayweather Jr, after claiming to be the greatest thing of all time, go after 2 fights with old Oscar De La Hoya, and fight a junior welterweight in Hatton. Why would Mayweather Jr fight Gatti and Baldomir, rather than cleaning out the division. His excuse is, "Cotto doesn't have enough fans". We all know, A Cotto vs Mayweather fight would be absolutely huge!

Truth is, Mayweather should be cleaning out the division, and until he does it, he gets no respect off me.

 

I m tired of you guys feeling like mayweather owes you guys something you dont like him dont order the fight its tons a boxer we can discuss besides him cotto is gonna get banged get over it he ll be seeing straight rights in his sleep 90 days after he loses he might not get past margo. lets talk about that
