He didn't fight Margo and Cotto when he had the chance.
The 80's was awesome cuz the greats (Leonard, Duran, Herans, Hagler) beat up each other.
I wish I could say the same thing to Mayweather, Margarito, Cotto, and Pacquiao in this decade.

You got the facts a little twisted bruh..
Floyd declined a bout with Margarito because Arum wanted options on his next few fights.. FACT..
Floyd been done calling out Cotto in the mid 2ks but Cotto declined claiming that he's still " GREEN " which is bullshit.. Cotto did attend Floyd/Gatti to scout Floyd but by the 5th round, his face was all pale and green and shit like he had just seen the ghost.. Then he had a change of heart and decided not to face Floyd..
It's funny to me whenever someone claims that Floyd ducked Margarito out of fear or something.. lol
Fact, but still Floyd never fought Margo when he was on the ranks of the best welter out there (prior to sanctions over hand wraps). Instead of fighting the best, he fought Baldomir in 2006 when guys like Cintron, Williams and Cotto are flooding the ranks of welters.You got the facts a little twisted bruh..

Thats a fact but not entirely.Floyd been done calling out Cotto in the mid 2ks but Cotto declined claiming that he's still " GREEN " which is bullshit..

It was Cotto who calls out Floyd for a unification bout at Light welter when Floyd won over Gatti. Cotto has been keeping the WBO belt (he defended his title all by KO/TKO, which includes ChopChop Corley) while Floyd just won the WBC belt from Gatti. On that night Cotto was there to anticipate that Floyd will call him out, but no, it never happened. Floyd after sensing an inevitable head on collision with Cotto, he then jumps into the next weight class to fight Mitchell. Great move or should I say duck. Truly, his defensive skill spans even outside the boxing ring.
Cotto stayed for another 3 compelling fights on light welter before moving up to chase Floyd in 2006.
Floyd will be busier in the ring, do not think he will take another 18 month lay off. He wants to fight and earn money whilst he can still command the big fees because once he is out of boxing he will never be able to make the kind of money he does now. If Floyd is confident of beating Manny then he should fight him next.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
After Floyd fought Judah, he got offered $8M to fight Margarito. Floyd turned it down.
Floyd had an opportunity to fight Cotto after a brief retirement. But he picked Marquez instead because he knew it was an easy fight and would sell similar ppv buy.
PWill called him out too countless times.
Floyd didn't wanna fight them cuz they were threatening opponents at that time.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I am not A Floyd fan and he's not too smart but on fight night he is on the money. Now I hope that this idiot will put aside some money for a publicist whose only job would be to speak for Floyd and stand beside him in order to catch his foot before it makes a reentry in to his mouth. Contradiction is sometimes mistaken for cowardice. The use of a dictionary is cheaper than a publicist but can Floyd read?
