I'm sure Floyd's self-confidence and ego will drive him to accept a Cotto challenge.

But since when does that translate into all the crap that Cotto haters still like to spew? What's all this "robotic" garbage still doing bouncing around? Can you give Cotto even a LITTLE credit for adjusting his style against Mosley and outjabbing the jabber? Can you admit that Cotto looked faster and boxed better than he had in some of his more recent fights? And why is Mosley now all of a sudden an old washed up has-been? Can you give Cotto credit instead of dissing a gallant Mosley, who looked better than some people thought he would?

And why does Cotto always need that "one more big fight"? How many more "one more big fights" does Cotto need to deserve a crack at Floyd? Geez... it's like the horizon. Always within sight, but always out of reach.

Point is, you can be a fan of one fighter while giving the others their just due.
Class post

as you may or may not now know i would question Cotto's ability on every occasion in the past but he has turned me into a fan over the years

so yes you can appriciate them both Mayweather and Cotto are class fighters... guess sometimes the fans of each get more involved in the arguments than being pissed that this great fight might not be getting made
Thanx saddo. And yeah... I remember how you were pretty consistent as a Cotto doubter. But you did something that true boxing fans do..... you kept an open mind and when you saw enough of Cotto, you became a fan. Not everyone does that. If Floyd-Cotto ever does get made, Cotto may win and he may lose. But it'll be a hell of fight with us fans getting our money's worth.
