In regards to HBO's comments about the Floyd/ Oscar fight & also your gripe with 'Contradictions' and such....
Cotto dosent go round calling himself the greatest. So when he beats shane Mosley (a guy who is probably still nearer his prime than Dela Hoya and actually was probably a better fighter in his peak to boot) its fairly justifiable to pick holes in Mayweathers win when he calls himself the greatest in actually acheiving less than what Cotto had in his win. Mayweather out Punched the 'Puncher' Cotto out boxed the 'Boxer'. IMO they both deserve great credit for there respective wins.... But i just feel Floyd is reaping the benifits for having a big mouth...
Then again maybe of Cotto went around calling himself the greatest Welterweight, the fight might actually happen (i say that because i would love to put money down that it doesn't).
Also what you said about Cotto being safe from the kind of persecution Floyd gets for the fighters he has faced... Ive saod it before and i'll say it again. Cotto IMO has only just been really let off the leash by Arum and has only just broken into the big wideworld of superstardom. He is at a completely diferent point in his career to Floyd so that sort of Critism was nullified by the fact that his promoter was controlling him maybe in a protective way.
As of this moment (well, as of 11th Nov) Cotto is wide open to critism. However, I dont think Cotto will fall guilty of failing to provide fan-freindly fights (all parties permiting of course).
I know its about more than just fan-freindly fights but, when your already the champ, what more can you do?
...What more
should you do?
