IN your opinion will Floyd Mayweather jr. ever fight Miguel Cotto in his career?

Question

The fight that everyone wants and everyone needs to help boxing is between the two biggest and most popular stars, Miguel Cotto is the most exciting fighter, he throws punches, gets KO's and draws crowds. Floyd Mayweather is the most notable face in boxing, he owns belts in 5 different weight classes, but hasn't beat a tru, young, welterweight. Yes, hes beaten de la hoya who is 34, hatton who is a junior welterweight and he beat journeyman Baldomir who wasnt a good fighter. But miguel cotto is a GOOD fighter, a fight with him would shut up all the critics. But do you think pretty boy floyd will fight miguel cotto ever?If so when?

Answer 1

Miguel Cotto is a good fighter, but hes not in Floyd class, Mayweather will destroy Cotto, let Cotto worry about Gomez ha ha, hes an easy-beat, and Cotto should get ridiculed for fighting Gomez

Answer 2

not if he keep messing around wit da big show even if it is all wrote up in a script

Answer 3

Yes,like Teddy Atlas said,Floyd would beat Cotto.In my opinion,Floyd would beat Cotto,Cotto is One-Dimensional and Floyd has the skills that no one else has right now in boxing.If Cotto didnt have his power,he would be nowhere in Boxing

Answer 4

Who can say. I would love to see it. h**l, I would love to see him fight Mosley after a Judah victory but Floyd is Floyd. He thinks he is bigger than Boxing. Wat a shame. Floyd likes guys to wear down or wait for them to get weak from fighting other guys. He does not want to be tested just paid...

Answer 5

Odds are against it.  As a boxing fan I would like to see it, and I respect Floyd's skill in the ring, but I feel he lacks the character and desire needed to take a serious challenge at this stage of his career.  Cotto would be a serious threat, and Mayweather has other, safer and more financially lucrative options.

I don't think Mayweather will take the risk.

Answer 6

yes i believe they will fight in 2009. I think floyd is waiting for cotto to get his popularity out there that way when they do fight it will make a lot of money because every one knows that the only reason floyd fights now is for money. so once cotto fights gomez than the winner of margarito and cintron and perhaps mayorga at the end of the year . But by next year if cotto is still victorious he will be a very popular unified welter weight champion the only person in his way would be mayweather.

Mayweather is only fighting once this year in september a rematch with de la hoya so he will be very inactive this year.

Mayweather would be forced to fight cotto and i believe it will be fight of the year in 2009.

Answer 7

yes i think he'll have to. but floyd split from bob arum who is cotto's promoter so i think the only way that i will happen is if the money is right for floyd. it won't be this year although i was hoping it was. it might happen next year. cotto can force floyd into the fight if he takes the other welterweight belt. but fighting alfonso gomez isn't getting him anywhere. he needs to beat antonio margirito and then he can force floyd into the fight. if floyd wants to be recongized as the best of this era it is in his best interest to do so. right now floyd has an excuse to dodge cotto because the $ isn't right.

Answer 8

Yes, it will happen the boxing world will demand this fight.

Answer 9

I think he will fight him eventualy within a year if he doesnt decide to retire before then.

Answer 10

I think that Floyd has to fight Cotto. If he does'nt it will always be on his image i think. Cotto has been on his heels for a while now and he diserves a shot at Floyd. As for when i'd say not until Feb-March 2009 or later in 09, because he's fighting De La Hoya on sept 20 i believe. So he's gonna need some time off plus training.

Answer 11

Highly Highly Highly doubt, anytime soon, Floyd and Cotto will be in the ring.  Floyd only fights easy fights, he knows DLH, Hatton, Baldomir (hahah), Zab (hahah) Gatti (hhahaha) all had practically no chance.  Floyd dodged Margarito for Baldomir, Dodging Cotto for DLH.  He will fight Mosely before he gets in the same room as Cotto.  Every true boxing "watcher" knows Floyd is a dodger who fights B level fighters or aging superstars.

      This fight would help boxing but by no means is it going to save it.  Boxing is having an AWESOME year, we are getting a good fight almost every week. We have had wars in Pavlik-Taylor, Pac-Marquez, Vazquez-R Marquez and it is only March.  Fights are being made and that is what is saving boxing.  We all should write a big Thank You letter to the UFC for jumpstarting boxing again by threating to take all of its' fans.

Answer 12

He probably will, but it may be too late.

Answer 13

The fighters Mayweater fought become b class fighter after they lose. Everyone pumps these guy's up and Mayweather beats them and than they become b fightes. Hatton/Paul Williams was the guys to beat Mayweather, they lost and now everyone jumps off the band wagon. Cotto is going against Gomez. Why no one is saying anything about that D class fighter off the contender? Double stander sounds like. Only Judah/Mosley fought people in there time but the rest of the guy's Cotto fought, you cant say the same. Maywether record, those guy's fought some one. Torres, Qintana had no lose before fighting Cotto. Who did they fight? "Please," a guy can become good by fighting nobody fighter. The fight will happen. When Cotto lose, who's going to be the next guy everyone claims Mayweather is ducking. If Cotto realy wants to fight Mayweather like everyone is saying, why dont he do like Hatton did and calling him out? "Yeh," its the media talking not Cotto. Cotto said anyone my teams wants me to fight. Brawler fights are better than watching a boxer. Mayweather steps in the ring to fight his fight, not the type of fight media/crowd want hime to fight. Get in there, slug, brawl and have a short career. Mayweather beat guy's with smarts. When Cotto lose, Im going to here the same excuses I heard when Tito lost.
