That's interesting coming from someone in the know (

probably means nothing),or is he just being sarcastic cos Cotto fights his leftovers...
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. Hoping Cotto beats Mosley so that we can see what unfolds from there.
