To ALL Cotto Fans, Remember This........

Fighters like Oscar De La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Ali all had charisma, yes, but they continuosly fought the best, fought hard, and had crowd pleasing styles. Floyd quit fighting the best competition, plain and simple. He got huge after he fought Oscar. He's taking advantage of it yes, but you can't compare him to the likes of those other fighters. As far as skills, sure, but that's it. They got the fans involved by how they fought, which in turn helped boxing. Floyd gets people involved by acting ridiculous, and got his mainstream image by beating De La Hoya. He's not helping boxing more than those guys did. Say what you want, but he'll never be as popular as those guys. If he fought the best, and had great, exciting fights, he would be.

MMA had its chance to overtake boxing with the Liddell/Jackson coverage...but it never happened, and it never will

Unless Kimbo gets super popular, defeats Couture then faces off with Fedor lol

Floyd is the WORLD'S Greatest Boxer as of right now. If you beg to differ You don't know boxing. Just wanted to show some appreciation to the man who is SINGLE HANDILY keeping the sport of boxing in the mainstream eye. Without Floyd, the recent surge of MMA would probably be at or just about at the spot where boxing is. Thank You Floyd.

How so? when Mayweather has only had two fights in the last two years?
You want to know why that's some bull****?.. because it's taking away much deserved credit to Izzy Vazquez, Manny Pac, Sugar Shane, Carlos Quintana and Paul Williams, Kelly Pavlik, Jermain Taylor, Joe Calzaghe, and all those other guys who have been working hard at putting on good fights and gaining more public interest in the sport and just saying it is all because of Mayweather which it's really not.

floyd isnt keeping boxing in the mainstream.

Haven't we already been through this.

Floyd might currently be the best fighter in the sport (key word is currently; not of all time) but he isnt keeping boxing in the mainstream eye.

if you had said that statement about someone like Oscar De La Hoya then it would make sense.

Floyd is only concerned with Floyd and Floyd's money.

Floyd isnt concerned about the state of boxing; so long as those checks keep coming in to make him richer and richer.

Floyd is a great boxer no doubt about it...but the only 3 things floyd does single handedly is:

A) Jack off

B) deposit his checks

C) check left hooks

the whole point of debate is to influence your opinion on those who dont share the same of which is that of yours. these posters who are debating against me are notorious floyd fans. nothing was really accomplished in this thread because 2 parties with opposing interests didnt really sway opinions on the subject at hand. every person that countered me defends floyd in every floyd thread. doesnt really prove much but what WAS proven is how much you actually do care when i make you look ****** in threads. how many posts have u dedicated to making it seem like i was proved wrong in this thread? how many of those actually contained anything of substance? its funny how you seem to take ANY kind of counter to my argument as some sort of victory for your self esteem and if there is anyone that is taking pleasure out of any of this, you can guarantee that it is me for the simple fact that i have affected you mentally. I have gotten under your skin enough to contradict yourself on an infinite level. The funny thing is that this all started with you trying to check me on something and ever since then, I've completely made you my cell block *****. you don't need any more proof than this.











So go ahead and keep posting about how you dont care how I own your ass over and over and how you dont have the time to waste on petty e-fights, but your actions speak louder than the simple, re-treaded words your fingers type. Now give me your cornbread *****.

you keep saying im the one affected...then why are you the one wasting 20 minutes of your life with these thought out explanations in these posts. **** you don't reply you write a novel. Its very obvious in both of our replies who's more affected by the other. and its you with you novels for replies and not to mention all the time you take to cut past edit quote things to try to prove a point lol poor kid

Remember what? that Floyd looks like a beast against guys he is supposed to beat? Eww you got us there

[tredh]

Oh yeah, I guess people like Emmanuel Steward and Jim Lampley don't know much about boxing. You being the elite super mega boxingscene analyst with like 15 green k's know so much more....

Of sourse Steward knows plenty about boxing but Jim Lampley doesn't know ****. I am sorry but I will never listen to **** he has to say about boxing Lampley is ****ing horrible.

[Shem]

ive already mention this numerous times. but you arent definitely answering my question, how is floyd making fans interested in other fighters and fights like the threadstarter is suggestion?

Well, I've read a trainer stating that the Mayweather/Hatton fight piqued kids interest in boxing and they were asking where they could get to see Mayweathers fights and boxing in general. They turned up to the gym. He said this was a great thing, and great for the sport. That's one way.

I was being sarcastic, I thought that was obvious...
