Mayweather has no reason to fight the winner of Mosley/Cotto

We agree yet again.

 

Holy ****!! This must be one of the stupidest post in a long time. Beating Hatton does not equal beating Cotto or Mosley. Hatton will not have the power at 147 that Cotto and Mosley has...please stop posting!

 

While I do agree with the thread starter about one point in no matter how many fights Floyd does, some people will never bee satisfied, and the excuses will come. Shane was past his prime. Cotto was overhyped, and Floyd was suppose to win. Etc. It goes on and on, thats boxing, and the fans that dont view things biased will appreciate and recognize Floyd for what he did. With that being said, that is no reason why Floyd shouldnt fight the winner of Cotto v Mosley. If he doesnt do that, that will just add another thing to the list for haters to criticize him for. A win over the winner of that fight would be big for Floyds legacy. He must fight the winner of that fight, no ? about that.

 

Who has he really beaten @WW? Baldomir hit the jackpot with an inconsistent ZAB! He went up to 54 and fought Winky? No, he must've fought a young, strong champion. Nope, he fought for $ against a promoter. However, DLH, isn't too bad, but he's def past his best years. I hope PBF goes to 140 and really makes a mark. I think the big boys at 47 will light him up.

BTW,
Williams fought MARGARITO
Cintron is on the uprise...
Mosley is fighting COTTO
Floyd fought Baldo f'n mere...forget the alphabet, fight the BEST!

 

unify for what pbf is the champ and the rest are contenders. pbf beat baldo who beat zab who beat cory who unified and became champ by winning all belt by unifying with mayorga:good

 

so very true although i would like to see both fight and think both cotto and mosely have a chance a t beating PBF he doesn't have to fight the winner

 

I agree to a degree. floyd is the ring champ. he doesn't have to unify 147 but I want to see him fight mosley/cotto winner just from a fan standpoint those two offer the biggest challenge to floyd at 147. beating hatton and then the winner of cotto/mosley will shut the haters up for ever

 

I agree he doesn't have to fight the winner from a legacy standpoint but it would be the most lucrative fight for him. I don;t see floyd passing up 20+ to fight the winner of shane /cotto. that would push his earnings close to 80 million for 3 fights.

 

YEAH SO VERY TRUE BUT THE HATER THINK HE WILL AND DON'T UNDERSTAND HE DOESN'T HAVE TO

 

Floyd is no doubt amazing and a rare talent but so was robinson who I think was better than Mayweather...Far better in terms of heart and determination.

Mayweather WINS b/c he is a smart fighter and his talent is pretty much un-match among his peers, but there are fighters who match up well against him and who CAN beat him on a good night. DLH almost beat Mayweather and Oscar is past it. Yes Floyd won but just barely.

Floyd fighting a guy like Paul Williams would be a true test...Paul is tall, fast and throws a lot of punches. I think Floyd pulls out a win but I think it would put Floyd in a postition where he's only been a couple of times...that's in a competitive fight. Paul's aggression and unrelenting style might be more than Floyd can handle, which might equal floyd's first loss.

You have to be more than just unrelenting to beat floyd...you have to have skills and use angles and I think Paul has those tools. Point is....its unlikely that anyone will be floyd in his prime, but VERY possible

 

Sorry, but that's an EXCUSE Floyd fans contrive to avoid taking the real challenges. Cleaning out 47 would be a statement and is necessary from a legacy perspective if he wants real ATG status.

I'm one of Floyds biggest critics but would respect a defining statement at 47 against SSM, Cotto, and Williams after Hatton:good

Floyds problem is he cherry picks and makes excuses rather than facing the top opponents, and following you're statement would be more of the same:yep

 

Im not making excuses, I am agreeing with you. I want him 2 fight the winner of Cotto v Mosley, I just said I agreed with the thread starter to an xtent of that some people will never give him his rightful credit that he deserves.

 

Nuff respect to you for wanting Floyd to prove himself:good

If Floyd does someday?? You'll watch my posts slap the sillyness out of those claiming he didnt:yep

I'll respect the results!! I will not ever respect speculation, conjecture, and assumption:nono

 

of course, FLoyd would b foolish not to take on the winner, that fight would do wonders for his legacy, and there would b no xcusse about dollars b/c he would get paid what he is suppose 2 4 that fight. So there would b no xcuse not to fight the winner. If he didnt I would b highly dissapointed in him for doin that.

 

Not just THE winner but Williams and Cintron are still included as Champions at 147. IMO, PBF needs to UNIFY at least once.
