What Cotto must do to bait PBF...

:good AGREED!!!

 

Nicely said - couldn't agree with you more than I do - but would if I could. :thumbsup

 

How would getting knocked out by Oscar make Floyd want to fight him?

 

I think it's a tough fight for both - but in order to get the Mayweather fight - this is the fastest road to take.

Not the safest - but the fastest!

 

Cotto earned the shot when he beat Mosley. Mayweather needs to stop being such a ***** and give him the fight.

 

I just dont think he is motivated at this point of his career(which is sad). Give him a good long break and i think that itch with come back. Which is what usally happens. But if he rushes it like eg. rjj did with tarver, i dont think it would be good for him. I think an equally hungry/motivated mayweather can beat a already hungry cotto. Anything less i dont think mayweather will win. But with floyds talents i think he could pull it off but it would be hard. So i think that floyd SHOULD wait. And fight cotto when HE is ready mentally and physically.

 

Come on Dawg - Cotto won the fight - but not decisively.

That doesn't earn him the shot. You're thinking as a fan - not a business man.

 

A win against a past-prime ATG and former champ who chokes in big fights earns him a shot at the p4p champ?

 

Cotto is another WW titleholder coming off a stoppage of Judah and a close victory over Mosley. Why does he need to do anything else to earn a shot against the champ at that weight. If not Cotto, then who deserves a shot? And if noone does, then Floyd is retired and Cotto steps up as the man at WW......he should be anyway being that Floyd hasn't even fought a Welterweight in his last 2 fights. :deal

 

Who deserves to fight Floyd? This is whats wrong with boxing! Some people talk **** about MMA, but you bet your ass this fight would already be signed if Dana White ran this sport too.

 

good point and i agree but we dont have Dana here. In the meantime, Cotto needs to build this fight up

 

Cotto is number one in line - I do agree with that.

But in a very entertaining fight - that some have Mosley winning - it's hard to throw him in the lion's den right after that. Cotto got hit when fighting Mosley - and he's not as fast as he used to be.

If you're going to take a lost - none better to take it against then the P4P best. But the P4P best isn't thinking like us. He's thinking about the $$$$$!

 

Beating Oscar will do nothing. How bout actually fighting a Paul Williams or another top guy in the division? If he wants to set fire under Mayweather start cleaning out the other top guys in the division.
