My memory could be off but from what I remember, Arum promised Floyd saying... After a tuneup bout against Henry Bruseles, he would get a crack at Cotto but after watching Bruseles get destroyed, they backed out claiming that Cotto was GREEN...
So Floyd took the next option in Gatti... Despite what arum claimed, I guess Cotto wanted to scout him anyway so he was in attendance for Floyd-Gatti.. BY the 5th round in that fight, they showed a close face shot of Cotto and it looked like he had just seen a ghost or something.. Cotto had that frozen look on his face like " dammm i better not fuck with this guy ".... and that's that..
Check out 00:11
and I remember clearly when a prime Cotto beat Mosley and Judah, he said that he felt he was ready for anyone, including Mayweather, and at that point was when Mayweather said he wasn't a big enough draw and that he still had to grow as a fighter, it was on an ESPN interview
Can we please get off Floyd and get back discussing the Cotto/Margo fight?
