So you're saying that Floyd is p4p so he should fight these guys instead of Cotto? Come on do you actually really believe the reason Cotto hasnt fought those guys is because Floyd is p4p number 1? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Easily, because Floyd already beat Zab Judah. Quintana was basically untested and Urkal was a 140 pound champion. And my point isnt to critisize, my point in saying that was to show you that his opposition it can be easily critisized if you want to critisize Floyd for fighting Baldomir Oscar and Hatton in that same time-frame. It works both ways. I could easily ask you whens the last time Shane Mosley held a title?
People say "Cotto has only been at welterweight a little while" then in the same sentence again say he should fight Mayweather. That doesnt make any sense, because if Mayweather beat Cotto people would say "Cotto is just starting out at Welterweight."
Here's a question for you. How many champs did Cotto take the title from?
3 of Floyd's last 4 matches
Judah(champ but political reason), Baldomir(undispiuted champ so that ended that), Oscar(in Oscar's weight class), and now Ricky Hatton.
How can people critisize that?
Floyd is showing why his legacy is ligit. He's already made his legacy so what else does he have to prove? All these other guys mentioned have yet to even make their legacy and the only reason you want Floyd to fight them is so they can build a legacy off of his name, you say it best when you say that 147 is one of the most talented divisions, but Floyd's already made his legacy and beat who he needed to beat to make it. Cotto Clottey Williams and Cintron have yet to make their legacy and should build it fighting each other then mention Floyd Mayweather's name.
I think Mayweather said it best when he said "It's not my responsibility to fight everyone, I'm already on top, they have to fight for the opportunity to get in my spot."
so why don't you let them do that instead of throwing Mayweather's name out there every 5 seconds and using "He's p4p number one" as an excuse for it.
I know you understood that Jetson :)
