Mayweather vs Cotto fight results are being dissected. Meanwhile Floyd’s retirement and his eluding fight with Manny Pacquiao is hogging the limelight

Mayweather has indicated he is considering retirement after a very tough fight against Miguel Cotto. Many analysts have said that in his whole boxing career, Mayweather was never been pounded with so many punches that Cotto landed on him in a 12 round fight.

There are others who say Mayweather Jr seems frightened to be pitted against another boxer of the same stature as him, Manny Pacquiao. The two rule the boxing world right now and there doesn’t seem to be any credible challenge to them in the boxing world right now. This seems to be the reason almost every boxing-fan wants to see them lock horns in the cage and decide for once and all as to who is better of the two.

Many fans of the boxer from Philippine, Manny Pacquaio, following a tough fight for Floyd Mayweather against Miguel Cotto have suggested that the same boxer who gave a very tough time to Mayweather was summarily beaten by Manny sometimes ago.

Mayweather has been demanding very stringent testing for Manny Pacquiao even on the day of the fight. It is another matter of course that he never ever himself undergoes such stringent testing. Floyd stated if Manny didn’t agree to take random testing up until the day of the fight then there was nothing for the camps to talk about. There were reports and youtube clips where Manny says “I agreed to all the testing that he wants and he still don’t want to fight”.

Meanwhile Mayweather even yesterday repeated when asked if he wanted to fight Manny and said he was not interested in it right now. He went on to add, “I don’t have to fight if I don’t want to”. And from the outset he seemed to be right. He has collected a cool 32 million dollars from match fee alone. Revenues from other sources are going to be at least more than a million dollars.

On the other hand he vaguely talked about leaving the professional boxing world and begin some other business venture. “They say to save the best for last, and if this was my last fight, it was a hell of a fight”, Mayweather said in the post fight press conference.” He made his post retirement plans more than clear when he said, “When I go away, I’ll jot down ideas for my company and my sport”. It was more than evident that he was seriously looking to a life post retirement. But before he retires he is going to serve a one month jail term that is set to begin on June 1.

    To be the best, you have to beat the best ! Fight Manny if you are so great. You have always come up with some flimsy excuse so you woud’nt have to fight him. We all no why and so do you. Manny would pound you in the ground and you know it chump.

    Brother Floyd, You are scared to face Manny. You know that and the public knows that as well. Of course you are not gonna admit that!
    But hey, I can’t blame you, of course you would rather retire with
    an unblemished record. Why risk that against someone like Manny!
    Too much excuses Bro! It boils down to one thing. YOURE SCARED!
    PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!

    For anyone who is familiar with boxing and understands the severity of the sport, you have to understand that noone in boxing gets to a level that Floyd or Manny got to by being “scared” it just doesn’t happen. Boxing is also very dangerous without steroids, so why risk any of that just to give a bunch of so called fans who don’t have the heart to step in the ring themselves.

    Common Sense STFU. I step into the ring several times a week and I can assure you that Floyd is very afraid to get into the ring with Pac Man. Not because he is afraid to get hurt but because he is afraid lose and hurt his fight record. It happens all the time, at every level of boxing from silver gloves to pro. I see fighters in GG get a good record and a reputation of winning and then next thing you know that cant get a fight.

    As far as Mayweather v Cotto,good fight, but a it was pretty obvious from rd 2 that Cotto,s game plan was all wrong, constantly staying at range hopping on the spot weren,t going to work,picked off at will because of Floyds superior speed, he should of basically rushed him in a controlled manner all night from the word go, pouding his body instead of wasting time with headshots that were mostly wasted.I found it frustrating to watch on the few occasions he did force himself onto Floyd, 3 things happened,1/ he just didn,t let his hands go, 2/ looking for the head when he should of just hammered his torso and thus would of laned3/ as previously stated was having his arms hooked/hed constantly for long periods right in front of the ref without a mention?, pathetic.Floyd should do the honourable thing and fight Manny before he calls it a day, forget all the bullshit about tests , the money split, and any other feeble excuses and do it for boxings sake.Your already minted so just get on with it once and for all, otherwise your legacey will always be overshadowed by the fact that regardless of all the babble, you wouldn,t make that fight happen fact.
