Why people won't hate on Miguel Cotto for fighting Manny Pacquiao

[Rantcatrat]

Have you heard anyone talking about the Mayweather-Marquez fight? All they talk about is why isn't he fighting Pacquiao who isn't he facing Mosley or Cotto.

Well Cotto has Mosley, Berto, P. Williams, maybe even Mayweather, but he accepts a fight from the smaller Pacquiao.

The point I am making is that in both cases the Mayweather-Marquez and the Pacquiao-Cotto fight, the best fighter will win no because of size, but because of skill and natural ability.

Cotto has already fought Mosely, Margarito, and Clottey; three of the top five fighters in his division. No one will trash him for fighting Pacquiao because he's fought the rest of the division already. Mayweather hasn't fought even one of the top five welterweights.

Other than Freddie Roach who questioned why PBF didn't wait until after the Pacquiao fight to choose his next fight, no one talks about why Mayweather isn't fighting Pacquiao now, only why Mayweather won't fight a top five welterweight.

Baldomir was the unified champion when Mayweather beat him, and Judah was the unified champ right before Baldomir beat him, and he was in the top 5 when he faced floyd.

Also who is coming off the two year layoff? Can someone refresh my memory about how JMM-Pacman I and II went? Did Marquez not stand his own against Pacquiao, and clearly showed he is in the very highest caliber of fighters? Isn't it Cotto and not Mayweather that is a natural welterweight? Isn't Cotto and not Mayweather who actually uses size to his advantage?

Well because Mayweather has not fought Cotto, Mosley or Margarito and lets no forget about the likes of Clotty and Williams either. Stop all this hes not a welterweight he not making it for any other division. And he chose to go up to the weight so all the crap he gets it is his fault.

Margarito is a joke, did you see what MOsley did to him? Cotto fought MOsley weeks before Mayweather fought Hatton, how could have a fight between him and Mayweather been reasonable until after Cotto fought Mosley? ANd by then Mayweather had a contract with Hatton, then he was suppose to fight Oscar again like most people wanted.

Mayweather jumped to 154 to face Oscar, why aren't you complaining that he didn't face the top 154 pounders? Why don't you complain about why Mayweather in 2007' didn't face the best guys today, which weren't the best guys back then.

Clottey was legitimately in the discussion, either was Mosley or Cotto or WIlliams or Margarito. But dont' say Mayweather didn't fight the top WW's when he won the belt, he got the linear championship somehow. PS. I think people should watch the Baldomir-CLottey fight because despite the fact Clottey was winning, it was a pretty competitive fight.
