Everyone'll now start looking to Cotto to handle Floyd.

After he beats him....who's next?

It's annoying. Last night shoulda told everyone where & what Floyd is all about.
I don't think many people question Floyd's talent, but if he wants to be considered the greatest of all-time, which he apparently does, he ain't there yet. Talent alone is not enough, you have to PROVE you can beat the best out there. Now if Hatton was out of his league, as so many are saying, what's the great accomplishment of Floyd's part? I'm not knocking Floyd, but IMO, he has to beat 2-3 more ELITE fighters to be considered the best ever.


Problem with whatchersayinghere is that lots of folks look elite until they get in with Floyd. Then they look outclassed.

So the end result is that Floyd never manages to fight any elite fighters, so he's never proven himself.

Gotta love the catch-22.

Though greatest of all time ... well, that's not something I'm going to quibble about. He is at the very least a contender for that spot.
