Nah I totally disagree with you on this, and JT will back me up 100 percent on this.
Floyd is an excellent businessman, shrewd and street smart and he's carefully managed his career but he's in no way a coward.
If Cotto did a highlight job on Manny I guarantee Floyd would get that fight made. He would want a super shit load of cash for sure but he would make that fight.
Look at his resume, he may have avoided certain people who at that time appeared dangerous, (Margarito, Mosely etc) but it's been because he's been chasing the big paydays.
You can't move from superfeatherweight all the way to junior middleweight without taking serious risks and despite his reputation for handpicking opponents there isn't a fighter in the world with a better resume than him.
He fought Coralles, he rematched Castillo after he had already beaten him because some people didn't like the result, he went up to 154 to fight Oscar in his own weight class and say what you like about Hatton and Marquez being smaller men, nobody can deny they were top 10 ranked fighters and the undisputed champs in their own weight classes.
If the money is there Floyd will fight Manny, Mosely or Cotto, doesn't matter to him, being greedy isn't the same as being yellow.
