Urkal: Kostya Tszyu leftover beaten twice by Vivian Harris and knocked out in one and Cotto couldn't put a dent in him.
Carlos Quintana: Only claim to fame was outboxing the overrated Joel Julio who got dropped and nearly beaten by this fighter called Rivera who Zab Judah(whom you say isn't much of a fighter in the above post) knocked down with the first left hand he threw. So I guess Quintana isn't as good as made out to be but he still gave Cotto issues until the knockout(which I applaud Cotto for)
Paul Malignaggi: Good fighter, big heart, but no power and still won some rounds from Cotto, oh yeah I remember the reasons, Cotto suffered a "boxers injury" and couldn't knock out Malignaggi right? But Cotto could still throw his punches, and yet Mayweather hurts his hand but still throws punches but you accuse him of lying about it cause he was holding a cup. So I guess holding a cup is more painful then throwing and landing a punch right?
Muhammad Abdolaev: Never the same not did he have the same confidence or desire since losing to Emanuel Clottey....by knockout.. so who is he really? His only claim is that he beat Cotto in the amateurs and that means what?
DeMarcus Corley: Zab Judah dropped him, Floyd Mayweather dominated him and then Cotto has trouble, is nearly stopped and then stops Corley on a BS biased ref call who didn't notice any low blow Cotto was throwing that night. You talk about leftovers, well Corley was Zab(who aint much of a fighter to you) and Floyd(who you say has no balls and degrade him every chance you get)'s leftovers and of the three, he had the most trouble with him didn't he? Your fighter Cotto :)
Ricardo Torres: Nobody had ever heard of him*very similar to a Phillip Ndou" who came in with with an inflated record knocking out bums brought in to lose with an inflated record. The difference is that Mayweather stopped Ndou, and Torres came nearly close to stopping Cotto, and when he stepped in against Mike Arnaoutis he got exposed and beaten(Mike was robbed) and showed he wasn't much of anything and yet Cotto had to go life or death against him.
Kelson Pinto: Overrated fighter who's only claim to fame was knocking out bums, dropping out of a Ricky Hatton fight and beating Cotto in the amateurs. If he gets outhustled my emanuel freaking augustus and is breathing hard about to pass out at the end then Cotto is going to smash him. And again, what was Kelson Pinto known for other then beating Cotto in the amateurs? And what had he done to even deserve a shot at that "vacant" world title opportunity???
Randall Bailey: ..... I don't think I need to say anything further
Can you give me a real few names that actually went on to become something after Cotto fought them ??? While Mayweather has Chavez, Castillo, Corrales, and Hernandez on his record. Who does Cotto have? he has Paul Malignaggi who MIGHT become something. But everyone else was either inflated or on their way out the door.
So you can take that with your Mayweather hate :) And you see no accusation more or less legit then yours. But you can defend it with jokes if you want, or by saying stuff like "Thats because Cotto ruined them as fighters they weren't the same like Tito Trinidad" or something like that, thats the only time I'm responding in this way to you, since I know you do it to bait Floyd fans or whichever fans. But I'm talking to you from a fan of someone who watches boxing and looks at the careers not a biased Floyd fan or whatever fan just calling you an idiot and saying you don't know boxing, I'm responding to you in a respectable and debating way, so take that with you :)
And good luck to your friend Miguel Cotto in his next fight :)
Nice post....and DannyG you said"Floyd has yet to fight any Sugar Rays, Haglers, Hearns or Durans"and you think Cotto is along the lines of any of those...Spoken like a true larry merchantQuote:

well mate i'm disputing it because you are implying that after watching mayweather batter gatti, hatton kept his mouth shut about stepping into the ring with mayweather because he was scared or whatever reason. i'm telling you know that thats bullshit. if you are aware of hatton you will know that he is not a big talker and tends to let his fights speak for themselves. it isnt his way to call out or disrespect fighters and he has also stated many times that he would love to fight mayweather.Quote:

Cotto's time is coming...
I dont think Mayweather is as good as Leonard or Robinson but he is definitely better than Cotto. I am looking forward to seeing how Miguel deals with Zab Judah this summer, seeing as that fight goes as scheduled. I think Zab will beat him.Quote:

Mayweather hasn't fought a good fighter at Lightwelter or Welter and now the jump to Lightmiddle ?
I think what a lot of people are saying is Floyd has managed his career a little too much .
The fights with Hatton , Magarito and Cotto should have happened .
Id fancy FLoyd Heavily in all but has he backed up his big words ?
Judah ,Gatti ,Baldomir , Mittchell ,Corley and Bailey were all washed up .
Hernadez and Corrales was at superfeather , Castillio was at lightweight .
Has Mayweather fought a hot puncher above these weights ?
corely wasn't washed up when he damn there knocked cottos block off
