And some of the other welterweights.
Since the people here who I won't name because they make about 10 topics a day about this.
They say "Why doesn't mayweather fight cotto?" or "Why didn't he fight Margarito?"
As much as you people hate Mayweather you sure put him up there on this level where he has to be the only one to fight the good fighters in his division.
And you boxing fans don't know what you want, and thats not an insult its what I've seen.
You say Mayweather aint fought nobody who can match him stylictically and Zab Judah was your savior name. Floyd goes and beats Zab and then it became "He should have given Baldomir the shot"
Alright so he fights and beats Baldomir, the undisputed champ at welterweight and people say "Who beat Kostya Tszyu?" so Floyd now is the first and only to knock out Ricky Hatton and your new excuse is "Hatton isnt a welterweight, Floyd should fight a real one like Cotto"
And as soon as he beats Cotto it will become "he is still ducking Margarito" And once he beats Margarito it will be "margarito was overrated, at least Cotto had the balls to fight Shane" its a running joke alright?
And I'm not the only one who's had enough of it.
So I say to you fans who like to bash Mayweather as if he's the only person who can fight these guys.
Answer my question on this.
Cotto is a Welterweight, how about you explain to me why he hasn't faced anyone like Clottey, or Margarito, or Williams or even Cintron yet?
The only people on his resume who, if you want to play the "credit game"
The two best names on Cotto's resume are Shane Mosley and Zab Judah.
Mayweather already beat Zab Judah in his first fight at Welterweight and people didn't want to give Mayweather any credit whatsoever and if Zab had won that fight no one would be saying that Mayweather was a blown up Junior Welterweight or that the ref was against him.
Cotto beats Zab Judah and ahh hell breaks loose with the credit and kudos he'd gotten despite the fact Zab hadn't won a match since before the Baldomir fight, and had done nothing to get a shot at Cotto's title, and was there on star power and name alone, much like Shane Mosley.
Shane Mosley then gets the shot at Cotto when he hadn't fought since near the beginning of the year against Collazo who was coming off a loss to Ricky Hatton and wasn't anywhere near the rankings to take on Cotto so Mosley gets there on star power.
Mosley is a very accomplished superstar in the sport of boxing.
But honestly, had it been Mayweather that fought and beat him then you would have been complaining, you fans would have complained your heads off. Know why?
Because Floyd MOVED UP to oscar's weight class. And he beat Oscar De La Hoya at Oscar's own game, did he get any credit whatsoever? No... NONE from you fans who want to downgrade him and put him up for another challenge.
And even the HBO people say "The fact of the matter is he beat up a past his prime fighter and it was a close decision" To take credit from Mayweather.
However Miguel Cotto defeats Shane Mosley and all hell breaks loose and Cotto is the new STAR of boxing when Mosley falls in the same category as Oscar, a one great fighter who is now past his prime but can still go a little in a close decision victory.
Now don't try to tell me for one moment you can justify taking credit from Mayweather for beating Oscar, and then giving credit to Cotto for beating Mosley in the same sentence, it just doesn't work that way, it just doesnt.
So my biggest question to you. Is if Cotto is the "savior" of boxing and Mayweather is boxings "anti-christ" Then let me ask you. Cotto has been taking the same route Mayweather took AFTER Mayweather took the route first, why isn't Cotto the one fighting Margarito, Paul Williams, Joshua Clottey and hell even Kermit Cintron!?
Why is Cotto safe from your critisism when he is doing the same kinds of things Mayweather did but is presented as a different side of the railroad tracks when its really the same darn thing.
Answer me that. And Cotto isn't the only one I'm going after, I'm going after every one of those welterweights you dump on Mayweather's shoulders to fight that have yet to fight each other. And as long as you have been dogging Mayweather for it the FIRST time that these welterweights are actually fighting each other is Cintron and Williams, but with Cintrons "broken hand" that fight is questionable at this moment as to when it is going to happen.
So you mayweather "haters" out there.
Answer my question if you can.
And don't respond with just Mayweather bashing and no facts, because I'll just tell you that you didn't answer my question and then we'll be back to square one again.
So this is a challenge to all of you Mayweather haters and non-supporters that say he should fight these people.
Put your answers here, and lets put this whole debate to rest.
