    "It's very good for Puerto Ricans to have three or four champions in the welterweight division. As I've said in the past, I'm more of an employee. If they (Top Rank) tell me that they are going to set up a rematch, then I will take it," Cotto said.

    To tell you the truth, I don't blame Cotto. His boss has really taken care of him. Arum put him in a position to win a paper title at 140 and pad his record without facing any legitimate threats. Arum then bought him a shiny new WBA title at 147, continued his steady diet of Floyd leftovers, fixed a fight for him,and is now giving him a nice set-up to look good against on HBO. Alright, I'm exaggerating about the fixed fight. Regardless, I wish my boss took care of me like that.

    Yeah, that Cotto sucks hard. I wonder how he made all those P4P lists? Guess Arum must've paid somebody off.

    riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.... that is one of the worst posts youve ever made

    Quintana floyd leftovers?
    Mosley floyd leftovers?
    Malignaggi floyd leftovers?


    hell...
    cotto beat judahs ass worse then mayweather, beat mosley who beat the guy mayweather orgasmed over beating, when he was in his PRIME, and beat quintana who would box baldomirs head off.

    but keep up with the hate... :good

    This thread was written in jest. However, all of it is mostly based on truth(except the part about a fight being fixed).

    Well considering that Floyd is the "legitimate" 147lb WW Champ lets take a look at who has the more impressive WW record and fights...

    Mayweather- Hatton (a JR WW) TKO, Baldo ( a journeyman who was a nobody who got lucky against judah and then went back to being a nobody) UD, Judah ( give credit where credit is due, zab was a legitimate threat and top ten WW) UD, Sharmba Mitchell (nobody journeyman)TKO

    Cotto-, Mosely UD, Judah TKO, Urkal TKO, Quintana TKO.

    You do the math.... I don't wanna hear any **** about linear champ and all of his accomplishments at 135 or 140. Floyd is currently the 147lb champ, who has fought the better fighters at that weight?

    You seem to be catching feelings. Is Cotto your boyfriend or something? I actually met Hopkins back in the early 90's when I was a little kid. You're right though, a lot of people around here didn't know who Hopkins was before that fight. I'm pretty sure alot of Puerto Ricans didn't know who he was either. They all know now.

    I'm of the opinion that Miguel has been avoided, more than protected.
    I'm confident he'd fight Floyd, Hatton or anyone else who dares enter the ring.

    I wouldn't go as far as you did in calling Cotto a yes man. So far his management has lined em up and he has knocked em down. I do agree he needs to be more vocal about who he wants instead of just saying he fights who ever is infront of him.

    When cotto was at 140 he beat up Torres and Mali when they were a little too green to fight him. He did the same thing to Quitana for his WW belt. I think if those 3 had more experience back when they fought Cotto, it would have been better fights.

    None of what you wrote in any way invalidates anything I wrote. My post wasn't even about Floyd.

    They assumed you were talking about Floyd that's why they are so defensive.
