Can u imagine the S*** u guys would fling at PBF if he decided to fight Gomez?
It's not the same thing because Cotto wanted to fight Mayweather first and de la Hoya second, but they instead decided to fight each other. Second, Williams is tied up in a fight with Quintana, Margarito will be fighting Judah around the same time, and Clottey is probably waiting for his mandatory against Cintron (I guess Cintron was available, however). Thus, who can Cotto fight at the time. Plus, this is a set up for a fight with Margarito, thus you can't compare the two because Cotto does not seem to be ducking ANYBODY.
As Rican said,firstly it's a set up for a Margarito fight and secondly,Cotto is coming off wins over Judah and Mosley,and Gomez isn't exactly a bum is he? And secondly,Floyd has fought Mitchell,Gatti and Brussles before his admittedly impressive 07.So how can you question Gomez as a gimme opponent in the build up to a Tony fight?Stupid thinking.
Agreed...and I don't know why I keep repeating this but Gomez is not a gimme....Cotto is going to beat him yes but Gomez is not going to lay down....The guy does not consider himself an opponent in anyway...I can name worse opp to choose from

I noticed none of the Cotto fans wanted to touch those two facts on there way to pontificating Cotto :-\
you guys point out Its a travesty the way Floyds career has unfolded with his comp, but if you were comparing careers up to this point Floyd is by far superior has achieved more and earned his titles and has beather a few top flite fighters in their prime... Most will point out that Cotto dosent call himself the greatest in the sport today like Mayweather does...News Flash so does every writer and organization claims Floyd is currently the best in the biz ;)
2 things:
1.) Mayweather was an ATG at 130-135.However,from jlc the second time to Oscar last year,he fought Gatti,Mitchell,Brusseles,Corley etc.I think you'll find the majority of his legacy was built at the lower weights,so compare careers in between JLC the second time and Oscar.
2.) Who fought better fighters at 140 and 147,Cotto or Floyd?I have no doubt in my mind it was/is Cotto and the longer Floyd fights part time fighters/guys moving up,whereas Cotto fights guys like Clottey,Marg,Williams etc,Cotto will further distance himself from Mayweather in terms of opp at 147.

Cotto hasnt faced guys like that, so from your standpoint its pure and utter speculation
How can you say he had fought the better comp when barring Mosely, which was the 1st superstar fighter he faced and Mosely is 37 and not at his best... Again lets not get off subject here..
Cotto is a bit overrrated from the sense that he is yet to fight a prime superstar or legitamately win a title but yet is vaunted as a world beater ;)

First off...when was the last time u seen floyd fight an elite guy in his natural weight or in his prime? Secondly...Cotto is not the one going around screaming that he's p4p #1.
He lets his fists do the talking.
When was the last time Cotto fought an elite guy in his natural weight or in his prime.
Lets see, the only elite fighter Cotto has fought is SSM and he was 36.
Double standard anyone?
You are too blinded to see the truth. You have to open your eyes to see.
floyd says he's #1 and doesn't act like it. He decides to retire as soon as he realizes that there are no more easy fights for him. Oscar comes back and boom, he becomes a fighter again.
Just because he can fool you doesn't mean he can fool us all. :stupid:
If Cotto had the choice of fighting either Mayweather or Delahoya, who do you think he would pick?
My guess would be Delahoya, for obvious reasons ($$$)
cc...youre probably right about that but floyd already beat oscar so this is a mute point

Come on now, Cotto and Judah just fought each other and Judah(the loser) is now getting Margarito?
What the heck was stopping Cotto from calling out Margarito?
Judah should be fighting Gomez on the undercard with Cotto vs Margarito in the main event.

Cotto's best opponents at 147 are Judah and Mosley, Judah was already beaten by Floyd and Baldomir. So all Cotto has on his resume is Mosley. I hate how people try to make Quintana seem like a special win what has he done ???
Alright now Mayweather beating Judah, Hatton(best at 140 and if you think Floyd had an advantage in 147 get your mind checked it would have been no different at 147 Floyd would be quicker slicker and hit harder) and Baldomirwho was the undisputed champ at 147.
So if you're gonna sit there and tell me that Cotto has fought better opponents at 147 especially at the times he fought them compared to when Floyd fought them I''d ask you why.
Re: Gomez=Crazy! Accepts bout vs Cotto!
This fight is going to be alot better than people think
