Question: Why did it take Floyd nearly a decade to be on the verge of greatness

Your too new here to cast judgements on other posters, especialy ones who have been here for a while.

 

Good post!

 

After a decade, Floyd is clearly an All Time Great.

So far, Cotto is a solid champion with a lot of potential.

 

What does this thread have to do with anything? No, of course Cotto is not on Floyd's level of greatness, but whats the point in expanding on it, unless its a reason for Floyd not to fight him.

Cotto is the best fight for Floyd, and Floyd is the best fight for Cotto.

The two together are the best fight in boxing. :deal

 

Couldn't have said it better myself BK1550!!:good

 

How true, but that's only if Floyd sticks around. Now having said that if he doesn't what would make Cotto great. Certainly not fighting DLH. If he did and say he wins, he'd be beating two Floyd left overs a yr after he defeated them himself! Alot of ppl are saying he's on the verge of greatness but at the moment he's nowhere near that! He needs to go after the other guys in the division! Right now for him to be even considered great he needs Mayweather, if Mayweather stays retired he has a very long way to go. Mayweather's retirement takes some of the steam out of WW, and boxing itself!

 

Can you provide evidence of this?

 

Good post. I wont blame him for fighting DLH, everyone wants that check at least once.

But I think a duel between him and Paul Williams (provided they both go on to big wins against the top of their division) would get him there if he cant fight Floyd.

Welter is a deep division and a good one to become great in. Of course we wont know which fighters present this opportunity for a while, but we do know that in all likelihood it will present itself.

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :nut

 

Dont laugh, instead wait like I am for him to provide his evidence.

 

Whats he gonna do? Point to his worthless ass? Cause thats were he got this info.

 

Probably.

But I enjoy the long, awkward wait, more than anything.

 

True. I can hear him typing furiously in Google trying to find something. . . ANYTHING.

 

He's been great all along . . . what took so long is for him to get the big money fights . . . only the haters refuse to admit that.

 

not a boxer out there right now on Floyd's level....NOT ONE!
