#38yeah but this is a fight that needed to happen some day. Cotto and Mayweather have been rivals way before Pacquiao even showed up. Reason why this fight didnt happen in 2006 was Bob Arum. Same reason why Pac-Floyd isnt happening today.
Anyway with Cotto having a title and avenging his loss to Margaritto this is the perfect time for a Floyd-Cotto fightComment -

#43Except
A) Manny and JMM fought years before you'd obviously heard of either fighter.
B) DLH handpicked Mayweather and Pacquiao.
C) Hatton offered Mayweather a huge guaranteed purse, and made a lot of concessions just to make the fight with Pacquiao.
D) And Mosley begged Floyd and Manny to bless him with an easy pay day.
Your point?Comment -

JMM? Manny fought him twice before Mayweather ever fought him.
Mayweather fights guys that aren't even at his weight.
Manny is the smaller guys and destroys guys Mayweather couldn't destroy. Manny is almost always the smaller man, yet he destroys these guys.
Mayweather ducked Cotto long ago. Now he is getting around to fighting him after his eye was punched out of his face and after a few beatings.
Mayweather wanted Manny to take a 40% cut. Mayweather is the runner. He is just good at fooling all the Mayweather ball suckers that he isn't the one ducking. He is a good talker, but actions speak loud than words.Comment -

#45Who is fighting the fresh new face to this whole mess. A guy we haven't seen beat? Manny is. While Mayweather is just making a payday out of fighting damaged goods. A guy he should have fought a few years ago.
Instead he went on a 4 fight stretch fighting this cast of characters.
Baldomir - LOL
Oscar- It wasn't a good decision but he went to a split with old ass Oscar....LOL
Hatton - And overrated bum with a flashy record.
JMM - Nice he finds time to fight a guy a couple weights below his as his comeback fight. What a warrior. Glad to see he can easily make fights with smaller guys.
He went on this little 4 fight win streak hand picking guys he could easily beat. Smaller guys, overrated Englishmen, Old legend that he went to a split with, and Baldomir....LOL. I love how he has been around this weight for a while and just got around to fighting Mosely when he got old and Cotto after he got 2 beatings. He is a smart guy though. He loves to hand pick easy fights that he can still promote. Never a guy in his prime when a fight actually makes sense.
Manny has moved up as the smaller man than all of these guys and gave them a true beating.
Mayweather will beat Cotto. But at least Cotto has been fighting tougher guys than Mayweather has been fighting.Comment -

He fought JMM tice before Mayweather.
He fought Cotto. Mayweather has not yet.
He fought Margarito. Mayweather has never.
It isn't even Manny's natural weight and he has cleaned out everyone Mayweather has in better fashion. Let me know when Mayweather goes up to 160 and fights as the smaller man and cleans house. I'll wait.
You seem to be the bias one.Comment -

He fought JMM tice before Mayweather. - DUH YEARS AGO
He fought Cotto. Mayweather has not yet.THATS A FIRST, AND MAYWEATHER IS MOVING UP HERE.You know mayweather won belts in multiple divisions right
He fought Margarito. Mayweather has never. Mayweather dont need to fight a bum fighter like Margaritto. Nothing about this guy is classs
You are biased guy. People make it seem like the fighters Manny fought are so muchdifferent than mayweather and they're wrong because since the delahoya fight Manny been following behind floyds footsteps, scooping up all his doodoo.Comment -

#50So you name me Mayweathers big wins at WW.
Yea, he's been scooping up Mayweathers wins and beating those guys down HARDER....yet he is always the smaller fighter.
When is Mayweather ever the smaller fighter? Hardly ever. And he doesn't give out the beat downs like Manny does.
Glad he is finally fighting Cotto after ducking him a few years back. Too bad Cotto has been beat down twice already, once from loaded gloves. What the **** does a Cotto win mean now? Manny already did that...and Cotto ******* dwarfed him.
Manny has been the smaller guy and has fought tough guys like Clottey and Margarito, while Mayweather is fight JMM who was 2 weight classes smaller. Fought Baldomir. Fought Victor Ortiz. ******* bums.
Manny has the disadvantage of being smaller each time he fights at this weight class. Yet he hands out bigger beatings than Mayweather could ever dream about.
While it took Mayweather what? 10 rounds to beat Hatton....it took Manny 2.
While Mayweather is going to split with Oscar...it took Manny 8 rounds.
Manny does it in impressive fashion. Especially when he gives up size each fight.Comment -

#51Manny could have stayed at the smaller weights. He barely is big enough to even compete at WW.
Yet he is in there with the big boys.
He has beat everyone Mayweather has beat...but better. Plus he has already shut down Cotto.
Mayweather is about 2 years behind. Get with the times. He wasted time fighting Baldomir and Victor focking Ortiz. Then asks Manny to take a 40% split. What a joke.Comment -

#52"Mayweather exposed Hatton". Anybody with a clue, knew Hatton blocks punches with his face, and was way too small to pose a threat to Floyd. And this has been the consensus opinion for what, 6-7 years now?
You're either an English muffin or one of those idiots who judge fighters by how many losses they have. "Exposed"...Enough said.

Mosely was the #1 WW when Floyd beat him too, Pacquiao was never the lineal champ at 147.Comment -

Dont mention clottey again please. you are saying pacman beat the fighters more convincingly. That was my point exactly, thats what hew was looking to do. To plant that idea and by the way you are debating this, i have to say pacman succeeded in fighting mayweather scraps. We all know (atleast i hope so) that maweather is a more defensive boxer who tags his opponents and make a fool out them rather than go for a knockout, that alone can explain why he took so long to k.o hattonComment -

#57I wanted this fight to happen years ago. It's still a big fight for me and I'm definitely going to watch it.
Looking at it now, I think that Cotto just doesn't have the stamina to keep up with May. Cotto has stamina issues. The key for him is to try to get to May early in the fight.
I don't see that happening.
I think May wears his ass out.Comment -

#60my book has floyd by decision -122. i know its highly unlikely that cotto wins by decision, but id feel more comortable playing fight goes the distance at -160. just a little insurance. if i could get +110, id probably just play that line instead.Comment -
