Re: Even if Mayweather fought and beat Cotto
Mayweather isn't as good as he thinks...sure he has fought some decent competition but he hasn't fought and beat THE BEST and the best is out there for him right now!
Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito
I know for a FACT PBF will be back in boxing by next year if not sooner...he has to come and fight his Marvin Hagler be it Cotto or Margarito, he has to end his career on a note that says "You can't debate who the best is, it's Floyd Mayweather Jr.".....he won't beat Cotto but his ego won't allow for him to be overshaddowed by Cotto.
If Floyd retired after fighting Cotto then that would be different

Cotto isn't better than Dela Hoya. Or at least the evidence wouldn't indicate that.

PBF pot shots and doesn't fight in combinations. I'm not sure he would have the power to hold Cotto off for 12 rounds. In many ways he fights to survive. I think he's afraid of getting beat. In fact I think he's terrified of it. He wants to keep that '0' in tact naively thinking that is enough to cement his legacy.
He won't fight a Cotto, or Margarito or Mosley or even a Quintana would be viewed as too dangerous, too competitive. I don't blame him, he's not called ‘Money Mayweather’ for nothing and he’s made his money, enough money for life. He is undefeated and he's getting out whilst he’s still young and he’s never been hurt or been in a war or even been knocked down. All his facilities our still in tact. When you think about it.....It's a perfect boxing career on paper.........on paper
BUT
I think he knows that he has not done enough, to be called a great in Ray Leonard, Hagler, Duran terms. If he retires now then he's great on the level below, the Aaron Pryor, Pernell Whittaker level. I think he'll come back as he will be constantly asked "What about Cotto ?" “You should fight Cotto” his pride won't allow him to let people think he was running scared of Cotto.
He’ll be back.
There is no question in my mind because as much as he calls himself ‘Money Mayweather' and as much as he flashes his cash and wears his bling. I don’t actually think deep down that’s what Mayweather is about, it’s not what drives him on a deep level. I think it’s the recognition that boxing has given him, the glory, the approval, the sense of value that boxing has given his life. To me that’s what is important to him and he will realise that unless he fights Cotto all the money in the world won’t give him what he really wants.
Cotto is a great fighter, and everybody appreciates that, but he isn't the same level of fighter Mayweather is. I just can't see Cotto doing anything differently that what has been done against Mayweather.

Do you ever make threads/posts that don't involve you whining and complaining like a 14 year old girl or insulting other posters?
Did he not complain about me first?, and who are you again?

Dude.. Why the harsh response..?
In all fairness what he said to you was light hearted.. and its not like you havent been around long enough not to know that was out of order.
For the record I was just kidding, it was just for shock effect.

He didn't complain about you, he made a joke. I thought your response was severe.

That doesn't mean Mayweather shouldn't face him. Otherwise the P4P best fighter in the world would never have to worry about facing anybody. Cotto represents the potential best Mayweather opponent ever, for that reason alone it doesn't matter how you or me see things going.
