Maybe I am...I'm not hating on his skill but has Floyd EVER fought the 100% aboslute best of any weight class he's been in? Zab Judah? Carlos Baldomir? Arturo Gatti?
Miguel Cotto not only has a big fan base, he's a very good fighter...I don't buy that whole "inexperienced" bs for a second. His loss vs Margarito was a legit loss, it's hindsight that makes everyone say LOADED GLOVES and maybe that is right, we'll see in the future what happens with him.
Maybe Floyd never ducked anyone, but he sure as hell never went out of his way to fight the collective best of each division he set foot in, only recently has he really stepped his game up. He never even tried to unify titles.
I'm sorry, but as a boxing fan I feel cheated from Floyd Mayweather. He hasn't given the fans what they want....perhaps a fight with JMM or Pac can remedy that.
I am tired of argueing the rest of this, but Cotto was definitely a very good fighter, but he still didn't prove himself at the top level until he faced Mosley. Judah doesn't count, and he didn't look super great againt Judah who had him bleeding, hurt a few times. Cotto didn't look like a true challenge for Mayweather until after his fight with Mosley.
that is a short memory comment..floyd moved up from 130..answer this:
When floyd fought 33-0 corralles was corrales not the best? when he moved up to 135 and fought JLC twice was castillo not the best?
Even at WW, you and everyone else can cry about Judah and baldomir but the fact is Judah at one point had 3 of 4 WW belts and was the recognized Champ before he lost to Baldomir. and floyd beat both of them.
So now that floyd is at 147, many are asking him to face the naturally bigger guys who have been there since they began...
So then manny should be asked to face, mosely, cotto, williams, witter, berto, and so forth. Because manny didnt face baby bull, nate campbell, zahir raheem; who soundedly beat morrales more clear than barrera and before pacman. what about Acelino? Casamayor? and so forth. In fact I can remember watching the Raheem/morralles fight where manny and his camp sat and watched Zahir school morralles, the immediate conclusion was don't put manny anywhere near a slick fight like raheem. NOW IF THEY FIGURE RAHEEM WOULD SCHOOL MANNY....IS THERE A REASON TO EVEN CONSIDER WHAT FLOYD OR MOSELY WOULD DO TO HIM??
