If cotto got beat by margarito on saturday night that would give floyd the perfect reason to come back and avoid fighting him. I think floyd would beat margarito pretty comfortably with his usual 'hit and run' style. He wouldn't be able to do the same with cotto. I'm sure floyd will be rooting for a margarito win on saturday night. Respect to cotto though I have never heard him 'call out' mayweather or ever even dierespect him. The guy is pure class!

"Chicken" Floyd will always be remembered as a coward who ducked anyone he thought would have a chance of defeating him.

I agree that Marga would be an hit and run style of fight. Cotto has a lot of tools. But in the end I don't see Cotto beat him either. If you break it down all of Cotto's boxing skill is out the window. If he wants to box May outboxes him easily. Cotto has to fight in a way like the Judah fight. The problem here is that Cotto is a one handed fighter. His right hand lands but his only real punches are the ones that come with the left. He also not has the lateral foot speed (like a Hatton) to catch up with him often times enough to hurt him. It's not like Cotto knocks you out with one punch he needs a lot of punches and I don't see him catching up with May. So Cotto is definitely the man who has earned the right to fight him and also has skills... but in the end every body who has a clue about boxing and is not a fanatic of Cotto or May will tell you that. Everything has to be put in perspective and every fight has to be fighten... that's why we wanna see it... but still I see no reason why Cotto should be any different then the others... the fight has to happen but until it happens it's jokable that May is afraid of Cotto. Skills ain't afraid... they wan't to get paid

So nobody had the chance of beating May? Corrales in his prime and the right weight class would have given Cotto all he can handle. Castillo in his prime would have given Cotto all he could handle. Jesus Chavez would give Cotto a lot of problems... we saw how Zab Judah busted him up... DLH would be very hard for Cotto to beat... Ricky Hatton in the right weight class would give Cotto a lot of problems and and and I could continue on... only because he make it look easy doesn't mean they are easy. Only because everybody else has problems with their opponnents and May don't doesn't mean that he ain't fought contenders. Yes... he never fought some1 who had a chance to beat him... but that's cuz nobody has a chance to beat him.

A sidenote... how many did Manny get offered 10 Million? This is the biggest fight that you possibly can make when it comes to names and Manny gets 10 Million?
I think you now finally see how bogus this 8 Million for the Margarito fight was. A no PPV fight with Margarito unknown... and then 8 Million??? That's what I call basic common sense. Even against a legendary mexican fighter and on PPV he would not made that money... but good fairytale Mr. Arum
