Miguel Cotto says Floyd Mayweather Jr will have to Answer

[El Kabong]

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.

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
