Miguel Cotto says Floyd Mayweather Jr will have to Answer

[El Kabong]

It wouldn't take Floyd long to unify we all know boxing is about money and Floyd can bring that and he could have unified any division he wanted to but never even TRIED to.


So truth I guess Floyd is really gunning for Bill Gates??


The problem is Floyd wants to be considered as the greatest of all time and he's not coming close because he's leaving questions about himself unanswered.

To be fair you could pick holes in Miguel Cotto's resume aswell.

I'm not going to because it will turn into a giant debate and possibly slagging off contest.

You can't blame Mayweather for chasing the money now. Boxing has become more of a business than a sport. He's earned the right to earn as much money as he can.

Looks at who he's beaten...

Manfredy
Hernandez
Chavez
Chico
Castillo (twice)
Gatti
Judah
Oscar
Hatton

There would be hard-ons all aorund if Cotto/Hatton or Pavlik had a resume like that.

Come on man,Do you honestly think Cotto was trying to emulate Mayweather?To an open mind,the man has evolved & improved his skill set before our eyes from somewhat raw instinct trader to a vastly Improved Boxer .He lost a fight but thats been known to happen in this sport when you want tough fights & step up against top tier threats.

not his exact style but he was trying to punch and stay away from margo witch is what floyd does verywell i would say if floyd did what cotto did and won they would say he was on his bike he ran and more but i hav not yet heard anyone say or seen anyone right that cotto was on his bike oh and he also gave up he shook his head 2 his corner to tell them he didnt want anymore

This is nonsense!!! Floyd has proven himself the best of our generation! and he deserves credit for that! the; man is now retired move on seriously these guys on boxing forums annoy me!

The thing is these forums are more of a popularity contest than anything as if it was about accomplishments and skill you would not be challenging Floyd.

Ricky Hatton is my favourite active fighter.

Floyd is the fighter I try to emulate.
Certainly, Floyd gets criticsed, but remeber, in the back of everyone's minds they know he is the best and the more they criticise the more you know its true.

Corrales, Castillo, maybe even Chavez and Hatton...I can see an argument that you're correct piye


BUT

Gatti, Baldomir, and Mitchell were past their primes or never even had primes AND the fact that Miguel Cotto has fought virtually the same competition as Floyd (different fights vs "the best" but virtually the same otherwise) and Margarito has been itching for a (and deserving of) fight for a looooong time and what does Floyd do? He fights Ricky Hatton at a weight where Ricky is useless!


So there IS truth to Floyd trying to cover his ass and protect that 0 in the loss column for as long as possible. Is there a coincidence that Cotto-Margarito happened and no one wanted Floyd-De la Hoya II and then Floyd retired suddenly? I don't think so, I think Floyd knew if he was to stick around he'd HAVE to fight either Cotto or Margarito OR both.....but when in the history of boxing have we given a boxer (the self proclaimed greatest of all-time) this much SLACK when he obviously has very legitimate competition which could only add to his legacy but yes Floyd is a pussy....if you can call any prize fighter a pussy it's got to be Floyd

i guess he is gunning for bill gates if you say so. money is a issue in everyones life even people who are rich but everyone has there own point of veiw. and if cotto and floyd would have faught cotto whould have 2 losses on his record if your a cotto fan you shouldn't even want him to fight floyd in 39 wins 26 ko's yo u do the math the man can fight both ways hatton was like 41-0 one knock down pbf knocked him out hard 41 other guys couldn't even beat him
