Yeah but pardon me if I'm wrong but Mayweather doesn't need Cotto either.
Mayweather already has a great legacy in boxing and has proven everything in his career already. Its the people that don't like him that refuse to accept it.
Mayweather has proven everything in the sport of boxing and cemented his legacy and dominated his era. His legacy is already done he came up fighting the same way Cotto is doing now.
Mayweather has a legacy created and cotto is still trying to create his. So in essence Cotto doesn't need Mayweather's name on his resume to make his own legacy. But Mayweather doesn't need Cotto's name or any other welterweights name on his legacy either.
They can both go their entire careers without fighting each other and their legacies won't hurt from it.
I think its more or less the fans not accepting what Mayweather has already accomplished because they yearn to see him get beat and no matter who he beats they'll always throw another name out there.
First they said Judah would foil him, he beats Judah and they go, Judah is unstable, they said Ricky would beat him because he would pressure him better then Castillo and because Hatton stood up to Tszyu that he could stand up to Mayweather. Mayweather knocks him out and they go, it isnt Hatton's weight class, completely dissing the fact that if it took place at 140 Mayweather would be quicker, slicker, and hit harder.
its Mayweather hate basically. In all honesty Cotto doesn't need Floyd, and Floyd doesn't need Cotto.
And any fan of Cotto's that thinks that he needs Mayweather's name on his resume in order to be successful needs to have better faith in their fighter.
