The Cotto vs. Mayweather saga explained to the haters.

Its just hilarious how hatton was definately gonna be the guy to take floyd down and when he got knocked the fuck out, cotto is now the guy. Before then it was margarito and paul williams, gatti and dela hoya. See a pattern?

You must live in a different world then the rest of us because those of us who have been paying attention, witnessed what Hatton was capeable of doing as a welter weight and that was SHIT. He got chased back down to the junior welter weight didnt he? And this is before PBF, so what the hell are you talking about?

A couple of things about that fight still stand out. Joe Cortez helping Floyd along, Hatton getting frustrated, all the cheating Floyd had to do to win and the one dimmensional fighter we saw in Hatton. This Hatton we saw against Floyd can be beat by top 10 Welter Weight and now Floyd wants to fight him again? LMAO! I would still rather see a Williams or a Margarito vs PBF than I would see a ODLH or Hatton/PBF again.

Let's not cover this up by not mentioning Cotto. Why did you leave Cotto's name out of this? Interesting.

I don't think Floyd is ducking Cotto at all. Considering Floyd and Cotto continue to win their fights, this fight WILL happen. I never expected it to happen in 2008 but definitely in 2009.

For history's sake, fights that pop in my head that are in the same category are Tyson vs Holyfield, Leonard vs Hagler, Pacuquiao vs Marquez II. Sure it would be awesome to watch them fight as soon as it's desired, but, delaying a fight increases the hype and tension (not to mention, bigger paydays).

I agree with the most of you in saying that if Floyd doesn't vocally state he wants Cotto or nothing is to happen by 2009, then it's safe to say Floyd MIGHT be ducking Cotto. But I think Floyd is just waiting for it to be a money making machine.
