um.... theres a big differance between retiring and always having that young gun there waiting, then retiring while your greatest challenge (and the one fans, press, and magazines have been wanting) for about two years straight... when both were at 140, the fights that needed to be made were cotto vs hatton, hatton vs mayweather and mayweather vs cotto.... cotto didnt just pop up out of nowhere last year.
I'd very very very confident of a Floyd victory over Cotto if they fought last year after Floyd beat Hatton. Margarito on the other hand is a 50/ 50 fight.
I love slagging Pretty Boring Floyd..... He is way too boring for me....... I also can't stand his wanna be "Rapper / Gangster" mentality / attitude.... His Uncle Roger was a damn good fighter with above average skill, but owned a glass-jaw.... At least I found Uncle Roger interesting...... MR.BILL P.S. Floyd, Sr. is a good trainer who is also too egotistical.....:tong:hey
Kirk only one person said Mayweather faced everyone. And he's an idiot. And Im sure as **** Cotto gets demolished by Mayweather. Hes prone to uppercuts and cuts easy in his mouth. Look at what Myaweather did to his last opponent who was wide open to them.
You just can't wait until the 14th. of Febuary, can You? Maybe we can find Floyd's address for you so you can send him a dozen roses and a box of chocolates.:smooch
Cotto gets demolished by Mayweather?? Mayweather doesn't have the Margarito workrate, power, or size...so no Mayweather would not demolish him i think Cotto would put Mayweather to sleep but most non-bias people would tell you this fight is a toss up and sure you can say he's open to uppercuts but Cotto can take Mayweathers shots, maybe even walk right through them seeing as Zab has a much better uppercut then Mayweather and that didn't stop him from eating left hooks, anyone who throws an uppercut is open to hooks, we all know Cotto can take Mayweathers power, but can Mayweather take Cotto's power? thats the real question, even a defensive wizard like Mayweather is gonna get caught by a fighter as fast and technically sound as Cotto sooner or later and Mayweather probably know's this better then anyone which is why he wants no part of Cotto at the end of the day it's a fantasy fight so i'm not going any deeper into it then this, but don't just sit there and spout bull**** like "Cotto would get demolished by Mayweather" cuzz theres no fact in that at all
I venture to say the top current crop of welters are all better than EVERYONE that Floyd has ever faced at the time in which he faced them. :deal
But Mayweather happens to be a great boxer with fast hands, great defence, amazing footwork and can throw every punch in the book.
Zab didn't take advantage of throwing numerous uppercuts, he was trying to end the fight in 1 shot. Mayweather took DLHs shots and DLH has way way better power than Cotto does. Look at the one time Mayweather fought someone prone to uppercuts. Cotto would be taken advantage of. TKO Mayweather by Cuts to the Mouth.
Floyd never fought a top5 p4p fighter. Floyd has only fought 2 top10 p4p fighters, and made one of them move up to a weight where he had previously struggled.
