    :rofl


    You are calling me a nuthugger for saying Cotto isn't the P4P number 1 fighter and Floyd is.

    Damn I guess nearly every poster and sports writer is a nut hugger.

    If DLH hit Cotto with his left hook, he could really rock Cotto..

    **** Corley wobbled Cotto.

    Everyone who's not part of the Cotto beats Jesus of Nazareth cult can see that skills wise, it's a huge mismatch, and yes Oscar would destroy Cotto.

    Oh now Cotto was drained :rofl but he fought there 4 MORE times after the Corley fight.


    Why is Floyd taking time off?

    Did you not see what Floyd has gone through with his body.


    Floyd-Cotto needs to happen but Floyd deserves some time off to let his body heal. The Doctor even said if this continues he would need to retire soon.

    BTW Wheres that clip of Floyd dancing around like Cotto after getting hit by Corley?

    First, this is a slightly biased representation of who faced who. Mayweather can never be described as a ducker. Second, who you fight is not the only thing that matters for P4P. It's also how you perform, how comprehensively you beat your opponents. Floyd has just decisively beaten Hatton - a top 10 P4P fighter - not just winning, but winning by KO (Hatton has a good chin), and even outboxing Ricky on the inside, supposedly the Englishman's strong point.

    Floyd has nothing to prove, he has beaten contenders and top dogs alike, he has moved up weights, he has an amazing record and really he has hardly ducked anyone. The only way he could do better would be to have an ATG in his weight category, and beat him; or to move up ludicrously in weight a la Sugar Ray Robinson going to light heavy, Fitzsimmons going to heavyweight, Duran going to middle etc.

    So, all he has not done, is match the top 5 or 10 fighters P4P, but even then he is knocking on the door. To say that Cotto is close, let alone better, is just lunacy.

    he had the opportunity to fight floyd at 140 and didnt so he did not fight the best. simple as that. and the current p4p champ has yet to be dethroned.

    PBFs body has been ****ed up. Did you not see the 24/7 episodes?

    Let Cotto become a star and let PBF then lets have Floyd-Cotto end of 2008.

    Then Cottos gets smashed you dissapear and make a new alias and Cotto always sucked and Floyd dodged Williams!


    Where was Cotto at 140? Running away?


    BTW WHERES that clip I said to find... still waiting..

    I agree Cotto should not be considered P4p number one....in my opinion he's top 5.

    While I respect your opinion I also feel this statement is as false as it can get. DLH at this point in his career wants no part of an inside fight with Cotto we all saw that Cotto can box with the best and DLH has deprecitated in that department. I'm actually surprised at the fact that you mentioned in an earlier post that Cotto lacks in the skill department....he's actually one of the smartest well schooled fighters in the game today.

    Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

    now that sheds some light on the bull **** that floyd was ducking margartio and cotto..
