Okay...let me start off by saying...I am not in any form a Floyd fan...nor am I a Floyd hater. In all actuallity...I am a huge fan of cotto. He has been my favorite boxer since his beginning...one of the reasons being that we have the same birthplace and I love and embrace my culture in all aspects of it...And with that said...I am also a boxing fan...A huge boxing fan...and could care less about any other sport. A huge fan of cotto...but an even bigger fan of boxing.
That's why I have a hard time believing that there is a welterweight out there right now that can stand toe to toe with Floyd Mayweather and beat him...Including my man Cotto. I believe what is goin on is that we as a people don't like it to see someone admitting to the fact that they are the best. If the New England Patriots were not "so cocky" then we would have loved to see them go undefeated (and of course I can't speak for everyone in what their thoughts in that situation was) but the fact is we don't like when someone tells us how they are compared to everyone else. If michael jordan would have once mumbled that he was the greatest...There would be nothing anyone could say to prove that he really was...cause...u know...we don't like that. If roger Federrer, or Tiger Woods ever let those words exit their mouths then we would make up someway to find out someone who is
better...because...Nooooo....we don't like that.
The truth of the matter is...We, as a group of sports fans every where are haters...and we don't like when someone is cocky as Floyd...I mean there has to be someone out there better right??? He can't be "the best in the sport or in his weight class" now can he??? The truth is...is if cotto for some reason defeats Floyd...and then goes on to win again...and again...The minute people start talking about he is the best...Its our duty as fans to find someone who is better...cause...u know...we don't like that. But with everyone fighting everyone in the division...If Floyd beats Cotto...then who's next for him to fight...I'm sure we'll come up with someone.
But what separates Floyd from my boy Cotto and the rest of the pack is...that HE DOESN'T GET HIT. Now of course I don't mean that literally...but for the most part it is very hard to get clean shots on Floyd...hence the nickname "Pretty Boy" he very seldom finishes the fight with a scratch...now there have been fights in which he has...if u look at the emmanuel burton fight he was "bloodied up" but that was when he had let go the defensive technique that his father taught him for a bit, and went more into the offense of his uncle Roger. But all other fighters in the class and most other classes too...do one thing that Floyd doesn't...and that's take punches. So whether it be Paul Williams long arms...to Margaritos wild looping punches...to Cottos amazing power...its all nullified if u can't hit your mark. Truth is...I would love to see Cotto destroy Floyd...It would be one of the highlights of me being a boxing fan...but I just can't see it happening. But the main word in that sentence is I...!!! U are entitled to your opinion...this is just mine...GO COTTO...HOPEFULLY 2009s best welterweight
