Manny Steward: Cotto should be p4p best fighter

I never said Bob called Cotto too green. He did say decline Floyd to fight Cotto.



And how am I nut hugger? Cotto isn't P4P Number 1 Delwin tried to call me a nuthugger for saying that. Lmao.

 

Margarito is not now nor was he ever more proven than anyone mentioned in this thread.

 

Logic tells Cotto gets potshotted for 12 rounds.

 

Yes because Mayweathers been knocked off his feet like Cotto...

 

Right....kinda like when Frazier beat Ali, then Foreman destroyed Frazier, then Foreman beat Ali...oh wait.

Or how Junior Jones beat Barrera twice, then Morales beat Jones, and the Morales won the trilogy against Barrera....oh wait.

Or how Vargas beat Wright, the Trinidad beat Vargas, and the Trinidad beat Wright....oh wait.

Come on, that logic never works in boxing. Styles are different and cause different outcomes.

 

yeah pbf struggled with judah the first 4 rds...so did cotto

and no logic doesnt tell us the since fighter A struugled with fighter B and C did well against fighter B that fighter C will beat fighter A

 

So Im a ***** for quoting what a doctor said? :rofl



Lol Cotto ducked Floyd at 140 deal with it. :deal

 

This is 100% speculation because I don't know Steward or Mayweather..

But I know Floyd is from the same area that Kronk is sort of the center of in the boxing world. However, he obviously is not an Emanuel Steward fighter. Still, Floyd has often referenced they great trainers of Detroit who know lots of great old school things that Floyd does himself. Like using his shoulder for defense or yes I hate to say it, but Floyd's now infamous check left hook comment after the Hatton fight in his interview with Larry Martini-er I mean Merch

But anyway, I wonder if there isn't some kind of resentment on the part of Steward that Floyd didn't fight for Kronk, or maybe there is something between Steward and the elder Mayweather's, or the elder Mayweather's trainers.

Steward just always seems so down on Floyd.. he's even made some comments that just seem to make NO sense. He has several times referred to Floyd as just an amateur fighter (as in he fights like he's in the amateurs, just trying to land punches, not putting power behind his punches at all). And even when he has the best rounds of his career, like knocking down Corrales multiple times, or basically hitting Arturo Gatti with every punch he wants to, or other stuff like that, all Manny ever has to say is - "Good round for Floyd"

And in response to the "Why Baldomir instead of Margarito?" thing, is it really that confusing?

When Baldomir fought Floyd, he had just come off of two big victories. A stunning upset win to become the lineal welterweight champion, and then his first defense is a knockout! Admittedly it was against Arturo Gatti, who has literally been knocked out also by both Baldomir and Floyd's grandmother (long story, but I swear it happened, though I think the stoppage for Granny Mayweather WAS a bit premature, still!!), but it was still a good victory considering Baldomir wasn't a proven fighter.

Also Baldomir was a great story, the casual sports fan was able to get interested in him because of the whole Cinderella Man/Rags to Riches story associated with him.

Stylistically it was a more interesting matchup for the casual sports fan as well, Baldomir was just seen as a big guy, a big puncher, Mayweather was seen as the little guy, the boxer.

All of these things added up to PAY PER VIEW, and more exposure for Floyd. People say Floyd just fights for whichever fight pays him more, but theres more to it than that! Floyd fights for long term money as well.. He wants to become a mainstream sports star, a celebrity, etc etc, which he has done for the most part! Though Baldomir sort of back fired on him because it was a pretty boring fight, it was still the fight more likely (at the time) to do this.

Hell, to the casual sports fan, Margarito is still nothing but misspelled cocktail.

 

The saddest thing about all this, Manny is going to quote every post and make a reply.

Dumbass.

 

Cotto is not P4P #1 :nono Manny need to sit his hating ass down.

 

Cotto struggling to make 140?

Why didn't Cotto move up after that fight instead of CONTINUE to fight there for a year and half and 4 more fights.
