There is a video where he says that, so you cant argue it.

Would you really want to see a fight where Gatti was clearly beaten? Receiving punches from all angles out there, I am not sure if people would pay to watch something like that.

So what do you see in Cotto and Margarito that can beat Mayweather compared to Mosley, Hatton, or even a De La Hoya II?

What do I see in Cotto? Will, heart, determination, differnt looks, attrition, power, relentless attack, speed, take risks, destruction, sticks to his game plan from start to finish.

It is not what I see in Tony Margarito. It is what Floyd sees in Tony Margarito. Huge difference. Example? Duran. Leonard was afraid of Duran. Don't ask me why but he was and it was by his own admittance. Credit to Sugar Ray Leonard for facing his fears, taking the fight and willing to go toe to toe with his boogie man. He ran the second time but oh well. We all saw what happen. Anyway.. Floyd is afraid.

Mosley? Too old for me. I will cut Floyd up for fighting yet another old man.

Hatton? I would like to see Hatton/Mayweather. Hatton is no Baldomir. People say that the only way to beat Floyd is to come forward and be aggressive but Baldomir was egyptian old. Ricky is a young lion. It wont be an easy fight like most Floyd fans think.

ODLH? Forget about it. No one want's to see another snooze fest where Floyd claims he will destroy De La Hoya and does nothing more than leave a red blush mark on Oscar's face. Floyd did not deliver.

WOW JT! you make smileys now? You are really getting good at graphic design.

So you have only seen him fight once or twice? I can see where you are making your mistake.

Nope. In most of his fights Cotto gets exposed, something I am yet to see in Floyd. When has Foyd shown a weakness compared to Cotto? Cotto gets cut, rocked, almost gets saved by the ref, gone down, etc. How about Floyd? I am yet to see a CLEAR weakness in him.

Maybe Gatti will come out of retirement and we shall call this the show down of the retired fighters. It would make millions and we all know that Floyd is in it for the money and not down with proving who the best is.

Wouldn't any of us take the opportunity for a bigger paycheck in your jobs? Here we have a fighter who fights 2 times a year. Why waste his time with someone who will not even offer half of what he can earn in a multimillion fight? Gatti? Hhhhhmm actually, I can see Floyd doing the same thing he did with Gatti and Baldomir.

What do I see in Cotto? Will, heart, determination, differnt looks, attrition, power, relentless attack, speed, take risks, destruction, sticks to his game plan from start to finish.

Will, heart, determination, thinking positive, being motivated, living happily, etc. NONE of those win you fights. Floyd has faced lots of guys with all that who end up leaving the ring with another loss.
You said speed?!...tell me something, you think Cotto is FASTER than Floyd?!

ODLH? Forget about it. No one want's to see another snooze fest where Floyd claims he will destroy De La Hoya and does nothing more than leave a red blush mark on Oscar's face. Floyd did not deliver.

Ok, I guess we can agree on one thing. Yes, that fight was far from an utter destruction and dominance from BOTH SIDES.

This would be a great match if it happens. I still have my hopes in Cotto wining against Margarito, then fight De La Hoya and win. If this scenario happens I believe Floyd would come from retirement and fight Cotto. I believe Floyd is just trying to win the biggest quanity of money in the less quantity of fights (less risks of getting hurt), and I am sure Cotto is a high risk for him. I believe Cotto has the style to beat Floyd, not an easy fight, but Cotto is strong enough to press the fight and in a smarter way than Hatton. Cotto's punches to the body will have more power than De La Hoya's body punches. It would be a great fight and I hope it happens in the near future (not later than first half of 2009).
