Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
Usually you can't copy anything from this website, but it worked for this chat so I'll assume it's OK. ;) Interview on boxingtalk.com
http://www.boxingtalk.com/pag/article13242.html
Q: Welcome back Floyd, both the to the chats and as a fighter. I suspected it was merely a vacation. lol I see you winning a wide UD over Hatton, but will you produce your first KO win since Mitchell back in November of 2005? Going to Cotto/Mosley in NYC? Fans will want to see you fight the winner after you deal with Ricky. God Bless, and thanks for being the one fighter these days who will come on to chat with us!
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: Ricky Hatton is definitely getting knocked out. This will be the highlight reel of my career. I will be able to showcase all of my talents and everything that I've worked on to get to this level
Q: What motivates you in life floyd? money?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: Waking up to see another day.
Q: hi floyd i think you could of easily been the high profile super star that you are now many years ago you have always had the talent, but i dont know why it took you so long to arrive big time on the scene after becoming a world champion it took you 7 years to become a ppv attraction you could of been in the position that you are now when u was in your early 20's why wasn't u matched in the MEGA fights earlier in you career? like other great fighters anyways good luck against ricky hatton.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: You have to ask my former promoter that question. But I think everything in life takes time. I've been really patient and now I'm getting the rewards to my hard work and prayers. And having a great team around makes it that much easier.
Q: Floyd would you ever consider fighting your boy Zab again if he can get a few wins under his belt? Also you know everyone wants to see you against tthe winner of Cotto/Mosley m,ake that fight.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: Fight Zab again for what? I been there and done that and we all know what the outcome was. That fight will definitely be one of the fights I consider, but it all depends on how it goes down. But I'm not thinking about Mosley and Cotto right now, my sole focus is only whooping Ricky Hatton's ass.
Q: hey floyd,i've just started sparring a guy who's 6'7 and i'm 6'1..he also weighs 40 lbs more then me..it kinda reminds me of the height difference between you and corrales..i was wondering what are some good ways to get on the inside to land my jab??i'm asking you this because noone knows about the sweet science more then you..also,how do you get your stamina so good??good luck in the hatton fight..you've got too much skills for him
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: Thanks for the support, you have to be patient, take your time and stay behind a good jab
Q: FLOYD..who do you plan on using as sparring partners in your up and coming fight with ricky hatton?and try and cope with his smothering style?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: I'll leave the sparring partners up to L, I'll just be ready when it's time to go. I leave that to L and Roger though.
Q: What do you make of the thousands of hatton fans coming across to see the fight? Do you think you will have seen an atmosphire like it?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: I think it's great for the sport of boxing. He got a tremendous following in England and that will add to the excitement of the fight because he definitely don't want to let his fans down.But by the end of the night I will turn his fans into my fans.
Q: Ay Floyd, would you ever fight Bernard Hopkins at 160 pounds?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: I'm not thinking about Bernard Hopkins.But Bernard Hopkins couldn't beat me if I was at 160
Q: If you lose Floyd, And thats a bif "IF", Where do you go from there?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: Ain't no such thing as me losing. It's when I beat Ricky HAtton, I think that's how you meant to start the sentence.
Q: Floyd do you see hatton wrestling as a problem on the scorecard id it comes to that?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: I'm not worried about anything that he's attempting to do, I will control everything that happens on December 8. He talked the talk and he signed the contract, so now he's got to walk the walk.
He's not going to want to embarrass himself in front of the world and I'm going to be at my best, so that's going to make for a tremendous fight.
Q: Floyd (la creme de la creme/Money Mayweather), people seem to be ignoring the fact that Hatton is coming up in weight to fight you and not the other way around this time. Last time he fought at welterweight, a journeyman in Collazo had him flatfooted the whole fight and ready to go at the end. Considering your recent history in fighting larger opponents than Hatton (Baldomir, Oscar) how much of a psychological edge are you going to bring into the ring with you when you tax Ricky Hatton's ass on December 8 and how easy is it going to seem? Is there anything you want to tell Ricky on Boxingtalk?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: I've had that mental edge on all of my opponents. Oscar, Baldomir, Zab, I'm the boss when I'm in there and I dictate what happens when I'm there. All these guys talk about what they're going to do but at the end of the day it's always the same result and you gotta respect it. Ricky knows what he's got coming I don't got to say nothing.
Q: yo floyd r u going to check out the mosely and cotto fight and if u are who are u going to be rooting for cause i know the winner of that fight is fighting u
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: I'm not thinking about none of them guys, they all in my rear view, I don't look back. They need to fight for the right to try and get a piece of me. I'm on top and I'm looking down on them. The Mosley-Cotto fight will be exciting and both of them are going to stand there and get hit all night long. I think Shane will knock him out because he's the better overall fighter and has way more experience than Cotto.
Q: Floyd, please tell us why, with all the current champions and exciting fights to be made at 147lbs. You selected a smaller 140lb. fighter?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: He's 43-0, the Ring Champion he ain't never been beaten, he's got a big following and I'm going to show him how to lose.
They will all get their chance because I ain't going nowhere.
Q: Floyd, I have mad respect for your skills but stop saying you'll only fight the best when you clearly do not. You take the easiest fights style-wise for the most money. Hatton is tailor made for you, and you are already trying to discrdit the Mosley/Cotto winner so you won't have to fight them. Good business but not the stuff of a fight legend!!
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: Let me teach you about the game young man, Mosley and Cotto are good fighters, but what has Cotto done other than beat fighters I already beat? What's impressive about that? And Shane Mosley is a very good fighter, but Shane suddenly wants to fight me but the whole world knows that he had a number of opportunities to fight me. I don't have to discredit nobody my record speaks for itself. I wouldn't be in this position without beating the top guys. Last I looked Mosley had four losses. And all I do is soften them up for Cotto. If Mosley beats Cotto, Cotto fights Hatton next. Just because you get rocked in a fight and get up, all that shows is that you like taking punishment. Cotto, to me ain't nothing but a punching bag. Cotto don't even believe he should fight me himself. He ain't never mentione my name once, that's just his promoter doing all the talking for him.
Q: floyd i want to know will you take the first few rounds easy on him or will you come out trying to punish hatton?
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: I'm getting in his ass from the first bell. He has all the pressure on him because he's going to have to perform in front of all of his fans. He got his whole country behind him and all of the pressure is on him. At the end of the day when I whoop his ass, all of the wonderful fans in England will be on Mayweather's team.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
CC good read man but Floyd really is a prick, how will hatton's fans become his and there's no way he's goin to whoop hatton's ass. Bernard would destroy him at 160 aswell!!
PBF really does make me laugh :D
-
Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
"If Mosley beats Cotto, Cotto fights Hatton next."
That's interesting coming from someone in the know ( ::** probably means nothing),or is he just being sarcastic cos Cotto fights his leftovers... ;D
Even if Cotto and Hatton lose they'd still make for a great fight.. Hope that is a genuine possibility.

Floyds is an idiot if he thinks I don't know about the fact that he himself went around beating fighters with losses and fighters who had already been beaten by Kostya Tszyu and Oscar De La Hoya. How many undefeated fighters has Floyd beat? He has not faced an undefeated fighter since Corrales. All of Floyd's best work has been done in the lighter weight divisions mainly the 130. Sure Cotto faught some of Floyd's left overs but Cotto destroyed those whom took floyd to the distance. I even see Paulie Malignaggi going 12 with Floyd and Paulie coming out of the fight unscaved. (Remember Cottos hand was broken against Paulie and Pualies face still looked like he was ran over by a drunk driver) lol
People are putting all of their marbles on Hatton and I personaly feel that Hatton will not be the one to beat Floyd. I will put my money on Cotto if and when the time comes. Cotto might not ever say he wants to fight PBF, but I know for a fact that he has been training for that day. Cotto will be better prepared for Floyd when the time is right and the time is near. Hoping Cotto beats Mosley so that we can see what unfolds from there.

I guarantee you Floyd has no idea who you are and didn't have you in mind at all when giving this response. Hope this helps.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
The only question that matters is "can you beat floyd" till someone can the stuff people find bad to say about floyd is just silly. Being a prick doesn't affect the judging, so i don't see why it's such a big topic with people, if he gets the job done inside the ring who cares what he does outside of it. I personally prefer someone with an attitude more like hattons but being a nice guy won't help him in the least come december....

CC for that; well said. I can't stand Floyd's mouth, but I'm sure he could care less. He's a marvel to watch in the ring, and when you're that good and at the top, success breeds envy. People say he's ducking this or that guy,lol. Paul Williams, Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, Hatton,etc. ??? He's just waiting to see who was worth his time. Margarito got exposed, Shane didn't want to fight, Williams just got a name really, Cotto needs to beat Shane then I imagine Floyd will answer the call, and Hatton did what he had to do to get his shot, so Floyd's giving it to him. He'll beat every guy out there at 147, period. I hope Cintron fights Floyd so we can see him cry again like he did with Margarito.

Cotto might of stopped all of Mayweathers left overs, but he was rocked in every single fight. I like Cotto, but he's not in Mayweather's league.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
Good to hear he's not retiring. He can make his claim as great be continuing and now he needs to try to finish guys, not just win on points.
-
Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
Floyd is pretty delusional but he's much easier to listen too these days than he used to be although, him saying that Hatton's fans will be on his side after the fight is insane, for 2 reasons.
-
Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
I love it, Floyd is at his arrogant best and its a beautiful thing.
He ALMOST reached the James Toney level a couple of times during the interview.
-
Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
Who was moderating these questions that were being put to Mayweather? It seems that almost every question begins with "Floyd, you're amazing and I love you and you'll kill hatton and you're p4pno1, but..."
I agree with his views on Cotto though....and I'm starting to prefer Mayweather over Toney in terms of the badmouthing mamajamas.

Cotto might of stopped all of Mayweathers left overs, but he was rocked in every single fight. I like Cotto, but he's not in Mayweather's league.
Cotto was rocked by Corley/ Floyd was rocked by Corley early 3rd and througout the 4th round.
Cotto finishes Corley off/ Floyd gets a UD
Cotto was rocked by Zab/ Floyd was knocked down by Zab regardless if he was hurt or not.
Cotto finishes off Zab/Floyd UD's Zab.
Cotto destroys Sosa in 4 when was he hurt in that fight?/ Floyd UD Sosa
I'm not saying Cotto can beat Floyd easily or anything, but he'll put up a hell of a fight which in my book puts him in Floyd's league. If Floyd were to fight Cotto like he did Corley I don't think he'd last too long. If he fought like he did against DLH or Baldomir then he could most likely pull it out on points. Gatti is not in Floyd's league. Cotto is hands down, but that's just my opinion. We'll know more after the Mosley fight.

Well put Joerod. CC :)
It will be funny if Cotto does fight Hatton at 147.
Hatton goes 12 rounds with Floyd. Floyd runs all night and gets the decision Floyd robs the public again. Floyd said he was going to knock out Hatton. How many believe this? Is this the same guy that said he was going to masacre Oscar De La Hoya? I must have missed the funeral :o LMAO
Cotto and Hatton would have a war and I would be rooting for Cotto but I like Ricky too. Much better fight, people get their moneys worth.
Floyd Is The Devil!

Cotto might of stopped all of Mayweathers left overs, but he was rocked in every single fight. I like Cotto, but he's not in Mayweather's league.
Cotto was rocked by Corley/ Floyd was rocked by Corley early 3rd and througout the 4th round.
Cotto finishes Corley off/ Floyd gets a UD
Cotto was rocked by Zab/ Floyd was knocked down by Zab regardless if he was hurt or not.
Cotto finishes off Zab/Floyd UD's Zab.
Cotto destroys Sosa in 4 when was he hurt in that fight?/ Floyd UD Sosa
I'm not saying Cotto can beat Floyd easily or anything, but he'll put up a hell of a fight which in my book puts him in Floyd's league. If Floyd were to fight Cotto like he did Corley I don't think he'd last too long. If he fought like he did against DLH or Baldomir then he could most likely pull it out on points. Gatti is not in Floyd's league. Cotto is hands down, but that's just my opinion. We'll know more after the Mosley fight.
Mayweather takes one clean shot against Corley, takes a step backwards. Than proceeds to avoid all of Corley's punches. How is that being rocked? Being rocked is when Corley hit Cotto. Cotto was so fucking hurt, he couldn't even stumble right. He was stumbling sideways. Mayweather dominated Corley. Cotto won by bogus stoppage. Against Judah, Mayweather was never hurt. Cotto was hurt at least 3 times against Judah.

Even if Cotto and Hatton lose they'd still make for a great fight.. Hope that is a genuine possibility.
Q: Floyd, I have mad respect for your skills but stop saying you'll only fight the best when you clearly do not. You take the easiest fights style-wise for the most money. Hatton is tailor made for you, and you are already trying to discrdit the Mosley/Cotto winner so you won't have to fight them. Good business but not the stuff of a fight legend!!
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: Let me teach you about the game young man, Mosley and Cotto are good fighters, but what has Cotto done other than beat fighters I already beat? What's impressive about that? And Shane Mosley is a very good fighter, but Shane suddenly wants to fight me but the whole world knows that he had a number of opportunities to fight me. I don't have to discredit nobody my record speaks for itself. I wouldn't be in this position without beating the top guys. Last I looked Mosley had four losses. And all I do is soften them up for Cotto. If Mosley beats Cotto, Cotto fights Hatton next. Just because you get rocked in a fight and get up, all that shows is that you like taking punishment. Cotto, to me ain't nothing but a punching bag. Cotto don't even believe he should fight me himself. He ain't never mentione my name once, that's just his promoter doing all the talking for him.
Floyds is an idiot if he thinks I don't know about the fact that he himself went around beating fighters with losses and fighters who had already been beaten by Kostya Tszyu and Oscar De La Hoya. How many undefeated fighters has Floyd beat? He has not faced an undefeated fighter since Corrales. All of Floyd's best work has been done in the lighter weight divisions mainly the 130. Sure Cotto faught some of Floyd's left overs but Cotto destroyed those whom took floyd to the distance. I even see Paulie Malignaggi going 12 with Floyd and Paulie coming out of the fight unscaved. (Remember Cottos hand was broken against Paulie and Pualies face still looked like he was ran over by a drunk driver) lol
People are putting all of their marbles on Hatton and I personaly feel that Hatton will not be the one to beat Floyd. I will put my money on Cotto if and when the time comes. Cotto might not ever say he wants to fight PBF, but I know for a fact that he has been training for that day. Cotto will be better prepared for Floyd when the time is right and the time is near.

I seem to remember Floyd taking one big shot and leaning against ropes using good defensive skills to avoid Corley's shots and then proceed to kick Corely's ass all over the ring and winning every round however Cotto vs Corley Cotto was stumbling around the ring like a drunk man and was almost koed and won by questionable stoppage.
And the other wins mean nothing because Floyd is a boxer and Cotto is a puncher it doesn't matter if Floyd takes longer than Cotto to finish opponents Mayweather's job is to break his opponents down and win one sided decisions or late stoppage Cotto is brawler with who is very strong who comes straight forward looking for a knockout there both good at what they do and just because Cotto finish's them earlier doesn't make it more impressive than Mayweather dominating his opponents with great boxing skill and defense.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
I respect Floyds ability in the ring, but the fact that he keeps dismissing Cotto only leave me to believe that there is some fear.
Seen it before with Bowe and Lewis.
Rematch with Hopkins and RJJ.
Probably many more.
I know there isn't a boxer out there that would come out and say that he is afraid of someone, but this is the so called best pound for pound boxer out there... Just fight the guy.

If he beats Mosley then Mayweather will give him his shot 100 percent i think we need to wait and see if Cotto actually beats Mosley first before we start saying about Mayweather ducking Cotto i actually think Mosley will beat Cotto.

Cotto get's rocked but he comes back and destroys. Eso son huevos y CORAZON the guerrero.
Bogus stoppage? Cotto was making Corley drop to his knees like a punk azz biatch. Cotto got hurt, Cotto got rocked but did he take a knee? It is not Cotto's fault Corley punked out. The Ref seen Corley was just trying to survive and playing games. The ref saved Corley just like the ref saved Judah. Cotto is a warrior through and through.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
I'm going to say a few things about Floyd that I truly believe you guys haven't realized. He knows who he's looking for and who he isn't. He says so much about how Cotto never mentions his name, well I've never heard Cotto's name come out of Floyds until this interview. He was always talking about big bucks with DLH and bigs bucks over here. Floyd Mayweather knows what Cotto brings to the ring. Mayweather could've fought him when they were at 140 but what did he do.....
he won a dumb title eliminator against
1)CORLEY
2) HENRY BRUSELES to then fight
3) GATTI for the title.
Now, instead of staying in that weight and trying to unify as he proclaims he the best P4P (Which I don't argue to this point), then why did he avoid a COTTO(power) or even a TZSYU (power) who were currently champion in that weight? He then doesn't give a title deffense at 140 but decides to moves up to welterwight to fight
1) MITCHELL.then beats JUDAH for his belt & then wants to unify the welterweight division by beating
2) BALDOMIR instead of MARGARITO (the best ranked welterweight at that time).
He then hears that Cotto is at welterweight so he makes a MEGA fight with OSCAR and then says.....I retire. knowing that there is still unfinished business at welterweights. Many of you guys just follow along to everything he says and don't see the little things that he is doing. He wants MOSLEY to beat COTTO because he has a better chance at beating MOSLEY with a simple jab than to have an all out brawl with COTTO. He is not going to take that chance. If COTTO beats MOSLEY, boxing fans are going to bring COTTO's name up and he doesn't want that. He knows that COTTO is going to bring him another CASTILLO type fight but with power.
There is no such thing as left overs because if that's the case then he fought all of TSZYU'S and OSCAR's left overs. MAYWEATHER is full of shit and to those who say COTTO doesn't even belong in his league, obviously don't know much about boxing. BRUSELES & GATTI aren't in MAYWEATHER'S league but you guys still give him credit for those victories.
I',m not saying that MAYWEATHER isn't good.I honestly think he could be great but I think he fears some fighters and talks smack about them to make himself feel better. If he desn't beat all these unbeaten fighters and cleans out these weight divisions, I'm not going to consider him among my top 10 P4P of all-times. Not deserved.

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
I agree with everything Eli_jr24 said and would add why did he want to fight Zab after he was beat by Baldomir. Reality is Mayweather was great at under 140lb but above that he is picking his opponents which is not a mark of greatness.

I don't know how to post a video, but here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbArg6JYODQ if you say he wasn't in trouble, you and I have a different view on trouble. I never said Floyd was hurt against Judah I said he was knocked down. Cotto never touched the canvas. If the Corley fight wasn't stopped he would have just taken even more of a beating. He got off easy compared to the rest of Cotto's recent opponents. My point isn't Cotto can beat Mayweather my point is Cotto is in Mayweather's league and will give him a run for his money.

Please see video to refresh your memory. ;)
Sorry but in my eyes a beatdown is more impressive than a decision victory, using defense and pot-shotting and history shows that boxing fans agree. Once again I am not saying because Cotto beat the same opponents faster he is better. I am saying he is in Floyd's league and will give him a good fight. IF he can get by Mosely.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: Let me teach you about the game young man, Mosley and Cotto are good fighters, but what has Cotto done other than beat fighters I already beat? What's impressive about that? And Shane Mosley is a very good fighter, but Shane suddenly wants to fight me but the whole world knows that he had a number of opportunities to fight me. I don't have to discredit nobody my record speaks for itself. I wouldn't be in this position without beating the top guys. Last I looked Mosley had four losses. And all I do is soften them up for Cotto. If Mosley beats Cotto, Cotto fights Hatton next. Just because you get rocked in a fight and get up, all that shows is that you like taking punishment. Cotto, to me ain't nothing but a punching bag. Cotto don't even believe he should fight me himself. He ain't never mentione my name once, that's just his promoter doing all the talking for him.
Floyds is an idiot if he thinks I don't know about the fact that he himself went around beating fighters with losses and fighters who had already been beaten by Kostya Tszyu and Oscar De La Hoya. How many undefeated fighters has Floyd beat? He has not faced an undefeated fighter since Corrales. All of Floyd's best work has been done in the lighter weight divisions mainly the 130. Sure Cotto faught some of Floyd's left overs but Cotto destroyed those whom took floyd to the distance. I even see Paulie Malignaggi going 12 with Floyd and Paulie coming out of the fight unscaved. (Remember Cottos hand was broken against Paulie and Pualies face still looked like he was ran over by a drunk driver) lol
People are putting all of their marbles on Hatton and I personaly feel that Hatton will not be the one to beat Floyd. I will put my money on Cotto if and when the time comes. Cotto might not ever say he wants to fight PBF, but I know for a fact that he has been training for that day. Cotto will be better prepared for Floyd when the time is right and the time is near. Hoping Cotto beats Mosley so that we can see what unfolds from there.
Cotto might of stopped all of Mayweathers left overs, but he was rocked in every single fight. I like Cotto, but he's not in Mayweather's league.
Cotto was rocked by Corley/ Floyd was rocked by Corley early 3rd and througout the 4th round.
Cotto finishes Corley off/ Floyd gets a UD
Cotto was rocked by Zab/ Floyd was knocked down by Zab regardless if he was hurt or not.
Cotto finishes off Zab/Floyd UD's Zab.
Cotto destroys Sosa in 4 when was he hurt in that fight?/ Floyd UD Sosa
I'm not saying Cotto can beat Floyd easily or anything, but he'll put up a hell of a fight which in my book puts him in Floyd's league. If Floyd were to fight Cotto like he did Corley I don't think he'd last too long. If he fought like he did against DLH or Baldomir then he could most likely pull it out on points. Gatti is not in Floyd's league. Cotto is hands down, but that's just my opinion. We'll know more after the Mosley fight.
I seem to remember Floyd taking one big shot and leaning against ropes using good defensive skills to avoid Corley's shots and then proceed to kick Corely's a** all over the ring and winning every round however Cotto vs Corley Cotto was stumbling around the ring like a drunk man and was almost koed and won by questionable stoppage.
And the other wins mean nothing because Floyd is a boxer and Cotto is a puncher it doesn't matter if Floyd takes longer than Cotto to finish opponents Mayweather's job is to break his opponents down and win one sided decisions or late stoppage Cotto is brawler with who is very strong who comes straight forward looking for a knockout there both good at what they do and just because Cotto finish's them earlier doesn't make it more impressive than Mayweather dominating his opponents with great boxing skill and defense.
Please see video to refresh your memory. ;)
Sorry but in my eyes a beatdown is more impressive than a decision victory, using defense and pot-shotting and history shows that boxing fans agree. Once again I am not saying because Cotto beat the same opponents faster he is better. I am saying he is in Floyd's league and will give him a good fight. IF he can get by Mosely.
That video is no different to what i said Mayweather hurt for split second leaning against the ropes then coming back and whipping Corely i think you need to refresh you memory on Corely vs Cotto because Cotto was staggering around the ring like a drunk man.

Floyd vs Zab was set up long before he lost to Baldomir. Baldomir was supposed to be a meaningless defense to set up the big fight with Floyd, but Zab blew it.

Mayweather takes one clean shot against Corley, takes a step backwards. Than proceeds to avoid all of Corley's punches. How is that being rocked? Being rocked is when Corley hit Cotto. Cotto was so F****** hurt, he couldn't even stumble right. He was stumbling sideways. Mayweather dominated Corley. Cotto won by bogus stoppage. Against Judah, Mayweather was never hurt. Cotto was hurt at least 3 times against Judah.
I don't know how to post a video, but here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbArg6JYODQ if you say he wasn't in trouble, you and I have a different view on trouble. I never said Floyd was hurt against Judah I said he was knocked down. Cotto never touched the canvas. If the Corley fight wasn't stopped he would have just taken even more of a beating. He got off easy compared to the rest of Cotto's recent opponents. My point isn't Cotto can beat Mayweather my point is Cotto is in Mayweather's league and will give him a run for his money.

When did I deny that Cotto was hurt by Corley ??? He was out on his feet no doubt, but Corley payed for it. I saw Floyd hurt on two occasions late in the third which agrees with your point, and early in the 4th where he was hurt for a hell lot longer than a split second. This where he went to the ropes and didn't throw nothing and took plenty of clean shots. Cotto WAS hurt worse than Floyd, but the same fighter gave Floyd a similar problem. When I saw the Cotto fight live I honestly thought he was done, but we all know what happened next. Usually when a fighter dances with the stars like that he usually tastes the canvas. CC once again for the debate and to all those that CC'd me as well.

Mayweather took one shot in that clip. That's it. He wasn't fucking hurt. You need to watch the fight instead of paying attention to what the announcers say. Use your eyes not Lampley's voice.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: Let me teach you about the game young man, Mosley and Cotto are good fighters, but what has Cotto done other than beat fighters I already beat? What's impressive about that? And Shane Mosley is a very good fighter, but Shane suddenly wants to fight me but the whole world knows that he had a number of opportunities to fight me. I don't have to discredit nobody my record speaks for itself. I wouldn't be in this position without beating the top guys. Last I looked Mosley had four losses. And all I do is soften them up for Cotto. If Mosley beats Cotto, Cotto fights Hatton next. Just because you get rocked in a fight and get up, all that shows is that you like taking punishment. Cotto, to me ain't nothing but a punching bag. Cotto don't even believe he should fight me himself. He ain't never mentione my name once, that's just his promoter doing all the talking for him.
Floyds is an idiot if he thinks I don't know about the fact that he himself went around beating fighters with losses and fighters who had already been beaten by Kostya Tszyu and Oscar De La Hoya. How many undefeated fighters has Floyd beat? He has not faced an undefeated fighter since Corrales. All of Floyd's best work has been done in the lighter weight divisions mainly the 130. Sure Cotto faught some of Floyd's left overs but Cotto destroyed those whom took floyd to the distance. I even see Paulie Malignaggi going 12 with Floyd and Paulie coming out of the fight unscaved. (Remember Cottos hand was broken against Paulie and Pualies face still looked like he was ran over by a drunk driver) lol
People are putting all of their marbles on Hatton and I personaly feel that Hatton will not be the one to beat Floyd. I will put my money on Cotto if and when the time comes. Cotto might not ever say he wants to fight PBF, but I know for a fact that he has been training for that day. Cotto will be better prepared for Floyd when the time is right and the time is near. Hoping Cotto beats Mosley so that we can see what unfolds from there.
Cotto might of stopped all of Mayweathers left overs, but he was rocked in every single fight. I like Cotto, but he's not in Mayweather's league.
Cotto was rocked by Corley/ Floyd was rocked by Corley early 3rd and througout the 4th round.
Cotto finishes Corley off/ Floyd gets a UD
Cotto was rocked by Zab/ Floyd was knocked down by Zab regardless if he was hurt or not.
Cotto finishes off Zab/Floyd UD's Zab.
Cotto destroys Sosa in 4 when was he hurt in that fight?/ Floyd UD Sosa
I'm not saying Cotto can beat Floyd easily or anything, but he'll put up a hell of a fight which in my book puts him in Floyd's league. If Floyd were to fight Cotto like he did Corley I don't think he'd last too long. If he fought like he did against DLH or Baldomir then he could most likely pull it out on points. Gatti is not in Floyd's league. Cotto is hands down, but that's just my opinion. We'll know more after the Mosley fight.
I seem to remember Floyd taking one big shot and leaning against ropes using good defensive skills to avoid Corley's shots and then proceed to kick Corely's a** all over the ring and winning every round however Cotto vs Corley Cotto was stumbling around the ring like a drunk man and was almost koed and won by questionable stoppage.
And the other wins mean nothing because Floyd is a boxer and Cotto is a puncher it doesn't matter if Floyd takes longer than Cotto to finish opponents Mayweather's job is to break his opponents down and win one sided decisions or late stoppage Cotto is brawler with who is very strong who comes straight forward looking for a knockout there both good at what they do and just because Cotto finish's them earlier doesn't make it more impressive than Mayweather dominating his opponents with great boxing skill and defense.
Please see video to refresh your memory. ;)
Sorry but in my eyes a beatdown is more impressive than a decision victory, using defense and pot-shotting and history shows that boxing fans agree. Once again I am not saying because Cotto beat the same opponents faster he is better. I am saying he is in Floyd's league and will give him a good fight. IF he can get by Mosely.
Mayweather took one shot in that clip. That's it. He wasn't F****** hurt. You need to watch the fight instead of paying attention to what the announcers say. Use your eyes not Lampley's voice.
:56 left in the 3rd
2:50 left in the 4th
I F****** hate Lampley so don't give me that crap. I never pay attention to what announcers say they're too damn biased similar to the FMJ nuthuggers. :;insert smiley hanging from Floyd's nuts. I have nothing against Floyd, I even met the guy once at one of my cousin's fights before he was Money Mayweather and he seemed cool then. You still haven't convinced me that he was not hurt. Maybe I'll ask him in the next chat. ::**

If he desn't beat all these unbeaten fighters and cleans out these weight divisions, I'm not going to consider him among my top 10 P4P of all-times. Not deserved.
I don't agree, Mosely would be a much harder fight for Floyd than Cotto would in my opinion! Mosely has better boxing skills, better defence, more speed and just as much power (arguably more because he carried it straight to 154). Floyd would use his footwork and pick holes in Cotto's defence all night long. He'd have a harder time doing that against mosely.
Your 2nd point I also disagree with..what is this fasination with facing unbeaten fighters? How many unbeaten fighters can you truly face in your career? People saying that Mayweather hasn't faced unbeaten opposition since Corales aren't thinking straight. True that a fight between 2 ESTABLISHED unbeaten boxers gives the fight an extra appeal but it's almost like you're discrediting Floyd for fighting guys like Oscar, Genaro, Castillo, Judah etc because they had been beaten! So with that logic Katsidis, Amir Khan, Chavez Jr, Berto are all better than Mosely, Oscar, Hopkins, Wright because they don't have losses next to their names ??? Bad arguement IMO

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. talks to the fans.
Floyd hasnt done anything Spectacular since beating Corrales. Hes been a very average champion in who has fought and beaten compared to past champs. I dont know why people dont see this. His 0 means nothing but hype $. He is a talented fighter but he hasnt lived up to his potential imo.

All Time? Yeah I could name about 75. Currently B-Hop and Jones come to mind..James Toney too.
