    Fact is, thats a question that didnt need to be asked, cause everybody know. It aint no secret that hes the badest mother****a in that boxing game on the planet right now. Haters gon hate but they wont lay a dime down in a bet against him. That right there says what they really think. The man is a cold drink of water on a hot day and hes worthy to be rated as high as he is.

    well let me put it this way. Cotto as a man did not duck mayweather BUT Arum most definately did make him duck and protected him from floyd at 140 in 05. bob was looking out for cotto cuz he didnt think he had a chance against floyd, whats the point of losing 1 of your 2 undefeated money makers that u promote?

    Arum didn't have to protect Cotto from Mayweather, because even in 2005 Floyd wasn't for a Cotto fight. In early 2005, Mayweather claimed Cotto was "too green" and needed more fights. Though at this same time Roger Mayweather went on record as saying he felt Cotto would be Floyd's toughest fight.

    Well that's easy to answer. Those who think he's a fraud are detractors. After Nov. 13th people began to realize more than ever, that Manny Pacquiao would be the biggest and easiest fish to fry for Floyd. He'd take that fight and make it look so simple that people would actually wonder why they were even inclined to believe that Manny would do more than get his ass kicked in the ring against Floyd. Marquez was dropped and shut out by Floyd Mayweather. Marquez being on his feet for 12 rounds and landing some clean ass shots on Pac, shows beyond a doubt that Mayweather is far better.

    They went from Floyd is ducking Pacquiao to Pacquiao will ko Marquez to Floyd is lubing his ass up. Anything to protect Pacquiao. The so called woman beater will be out in a month in a half to two months. Black people will always love him, everyone will look forward to his return, and Pacquiaos ****** fans will continue to hate his guts. A big '**** you' Pacquiao fans for the new year! Your hero's rep is tarnished. Thanks Marquez.

    Why didn't he take the fight then? After all, his moniker IS "Money" and he would have had his BIGGEST PAY DAY of all time. Why not take it?

    Bob Arum.

    Cotto finally left Arum and sure enough there was a Floyd fight. They didn't have to deal with all the middle man BS that comes along with Arum.

    if he fought Margo he would have missed out on ODLH you tell me which makes better business sense and enhances your legacy the most? Cotto himself said he didnt want the fight when he was still undefeated and as for Pacquioa its a 50-50 for the blame
