Floyd is publicly in a no win situation all the time these days, and with regard to the various points that are being or have been made on here...They have been covered before more or less and they will also be covered again...just insert ya favourite fighters name who is roughly around Floyd's weight division...
I feel Floyd would be too much for Cotto, Ricky H cuts down the ring well and is a all action, rough, tough and busy pressure fighter who's boxing skills and footwork are very under rated, and a hard lad too...but he was made to look ordinary by Floyd eventually being out strength ed and out fought...ya don't knock folks out often by going backwards all the time..

Which is just a part of his tactics, arsenal, tools or whatever....fast re wind to ODLH fight...the stick and move bit had to come into play...and though it may not be too entertaining for some, they are not in there taking the shots...
Hence it being called boxing, to slip and move, to hit and not be hit...this he was always going to do in the ODLH fight as Oscar was naturally the bigger man and more than a handful for most out there, so Floyd adapted.....pretty or not...
Floyd is now coming to the end of his boxing career and has always caused debates, some heated some not, but he has always carried on winning, which brings me to Arrum who when asked in the build up to the Hatton fight, Just how good is PBF/FMM"" He replied with an answer something on the lines of ... We don't really know...because nobody has ever been good enough to test him yet, we ain't seen him hurt or having to struggle under pressure because nobody has been able to do that to him so until we see that we won't really know...

Floyd's strength is under rated too and the guy is a lot meaner and tougher than he is given credit for...He moved up in weight to fight the unbeaten Chico C...and totally destroyed him eventually stopping him after having him up and down like a yoyo..
He ain't avoiding Cotto no more than he is avoiding anyone else...at this stage in his career he is making the more lucrative business moves that will go towards securing his and his families future, Lets be honest he is not the first or the last fighter that will employ this tactic...
In so much as a Boxer can Floyd has worked hard and earned this position...had he been an average fighter his paths would have been fewer....But he isn't and because of this there are always going to be more pathways open, more lucrative and varied deals, contracts etc on the table...

He is doing what is best for him now, his fighting past has allowed him these present day situations, He can't fight every ones chosen fighter can he, it's not practical..or fair to expect this of him or any fighter for that matter...

So lets not be too harsh on Floyd...love him or hate him, but we will all watch and debate him...
