    i dont think cotto stands in his way to achieve those feats you talk about but hell id like to see another mega fight with pbf and another 24/7 with pbf and another undefeated fighter in cotto.

    as a fan i say make the fight, pbf should try to fight cotto i think.

    He will still get destroyed the way Hatton was, that's why it's a pointless fight and meaningless. Maybe when Cotto decides to fight a few more good fighters, why not Williams next?, then he'll get it. Quintana/Branco/Judah(at this point)/Urkal are all tomato cans, whoever is "impressed" with those Cotto fights is desperate.

    as i said......who is it that deserves a fight with mayweather more? williams is pretty good, but i doubt if 99 percent of the posters here would know who he was if he knocked on their front door right now. plus mayweather isn't getting any younger. the money fight is with cotto, and i think it'll happen later this year.

    I agree, Cotto does need Mayweather more than Mayweather need Cotto. It's a fight that needs to be made though. Beating Cotto will really silence these haters :yep Mayweather is already an ATG, the question is where on that list does he belongs. U can't answer that until he retires for good :good

    Hell no it isn't, I've been supporting a PBF avatar for the past year and a half. The fact is you don't want to discuss is because you're going to get humiliated the same way you did when you discussed RJJ/Hopkins and many others with me, THAT'S why. :hi:

    I agree, it will happen this year. As long as he don't lose a fight early this year. Perhaps a match in May or June :yep

    After Maywather beats Cotto you will come out here and say that Cotto wasnt a true welterweight because he moved up from 140, and the only way for Floyd to become an ATG is to beat a true welterweight like Cintron....this trend will continue.

    Dont get me wrong, i would love to see Cotto vs Mayweather....but Floyd doesnt have to fight him

    Anyways I gotta leave for now, that is just off the top of my head I would move some names around but that is about what I have it. Sorry that Cotto or Tito isn't on that list, Benitez makes a case though.

    You sir, don't know what the hell you are talking about, this the one of the most idiotic statements i've seen. By the way, Cotto's win over Mosley is more impressive, than that pathetic fight Floyd had with Oscar. Use logic my man, Floyd couldn't even handle Oscar, Shane defeated Oscar two times, Cotto defeated Mosley quite easily I may add. You do the math. If you think that Cotto doesn't have any skills, then you better stop talking about boxing.:patsch
