Not sure if we can compare Cotto's (the most loved boxer around here) resume with ODLH and Mayweather (the most hated of the forum). Lots of people got excited when he faced Gomez which was not really someone we can compare with Mayweather, Hatton, Pac, ODLH, etc. People were like "Oh my gawd! Cotto beat the great Gomez!". Also faced 2 guys passed their primes. Sometimes I think he's overrated. Cotto finally faced a guy who was in his prime and looked what happened.
Floyd even turned down HBO's contract for a few million. More than 20 million for ODLH, 15 million for Hatton, and then face a guy who would give him way less? Nobody in his right mind would fight a guy for way less money. It would be smart to let Cotto build up his name but look at him, he lost so bad that it makes it more difficult for that to happen. Gotta come back. Still, I find it hard to see a guy who gets exposed on all his fights (cuts, jaw/chin, rocked, tires halfway, way slower than Mayweather, etc.) to beat a guy (Mayweather) who has yet to show a clear weakness/flaw. No matter how much I wish Cotto beat Mayweather, I just can't see it.
