Floyd has found an excuse for ducking Cotto in the future.

Cotto has to beat Floyd.
Floyd doesn't have to beat Cotto unfortunately.

..a man totally obsessed with money wants more, where's the big story ?? Hey also there's this 12 year old kid out here that trains at 24 hour fitness that has valid claims that floyd is ducking him too....where can he join the line ??

[Rican]

Sure, you can say Floyd will make Cotto look silly when and if they ever fight. But damn, let them prove it in the ring, not hypothetically. 99% of the public wants to see the fight, but Mayweather doesn't seem to recognize this. I have lost respect for Floyd as a person, but not as a boxer.

[Macho]

Remember what he said in his last fight with Hatton " The boxing don't going retire me , I'm going retire of boxing " For me this is another excuse.

Have Cotto win another fight with a big name out there and I am sure Mayweather will be more willing to sign the fight. It just means more money. I don't see how Mayweather would be shaking in fear for Cotto or anybody out there. It just goes down to business really. What does Floyd has to fear with that unpenetrable defense, Impressive hand speed, great footwork, etc. Has Floyd been really exposed as Cotto? Is there something we can go "Oh, THIS and THAT are Floyd's weaknesses"?

Of course I want Mayweather to loose against ANYBODY and see how he takes it! I will savor that moment. Somehow, after Castillo, ODLH, and Hatton, I don't really see a big threat out there anymore. If it was possible, a fight againts Pac and even Cotto would be interesting.

I feel that it has little to do with the level of competition he has faced that makes Cotto feared. It is the nature in which he has disposed of his opposition. I have yet to see a Cotto fight where an opponent leaves the ring with telling signs of punishment on his face.

Cotto has a calm style, a patient yet aggresive mentality which means he will hang around for twelve dolling out punishment. Any Welter will have to think carefully before accepting a fight with an unbeaten guy with his power and skill.

What's up Macho


No no no, I said ANOTHER big name right at the beginning of the paragraph.


Hate Cotto? Nope, I have said countless of times that I wish HE or anybody else beats Mayweather CONVINCINGLY. Eventhough I don't see Cotto having what it takes to beat Mayweather I sure wish he beats him.

[JT Rock]

Hey Macho

How many legitimate champs has Cotto beat for his titles?

How many superstar fighters in their prime has Cotto beat, besides a 37 year old Mosely and a already beaten by Floyd, Judah?

just curious my friend

Yes! You're right but in almost every fight he shows signs of being vulnerable (exhaustion, getting rocked here and there, gets cut, etc.), unlike Mayweather.

Cotto has a calm style

And that calm style is what makes Mayweather land fast speedy punches from all different angles and move/run away, shoulder roll, etc. Compare each other's speed, defense, footwork, who gets exhausted easier, who is more prone to getting cut, etc.

[Macho]

Hi Chino, good to see you man....Maybe i misunderstood your thread , but i want let you know that isnt only the Cotto fans that are been saying about ducking him and all that stuffs you know......is all the Media that are being saying all of these......be cool Chino

I beg to differ.

Floyd needs to beat the best. And he hasn't done that yet.

Floyd knows Cotto is a serious threat.

Floyd Mayweather has beaten plenty Threatening opponents.

Ricky Hatton was the best Light Welter in the world and makes regular appearances on the pound for pound list.

Diego Corrales was pound for pound number 7 when he fought Mayweather.

Jose Luis Castillo was also pound for pound when he was beaten by Floyd.

Oscar De la Hoya is still a highly talented and respected fighter when beaten by the smaller Mayweather.

Had you said Floyd hasn't beaten the best at Welterweight you may have been correct.
