      I would LOVE to see Floyd get in the face of Cotto at a presser like he did with DLH. Cotto has that "dont **** with me" look so I think it would be very interesting to see how Floyd would act
      Ha Ha---- You are SO RIGHT about that look! And he backs it up!

        Yeah, 4 sure... you see that's the reason why boxing is so low... I mean boxing promoters ain't nuttin but politicians or musicians etc. If you want to believe them do it... but don't get mad because you get fooled like ****. I said before say it again... ppl don't have opinions anymore or let me say it different, ppl don't have own opinions no more. You read something and then you have your opinion based on some1 who doesn't like some1 else...

        I know it's just business to get May to fight Cotto but still there are too many believers out there.

        Floyd retired because of Cotto? Was he in line to fight Cotto??? As I remember right, he was about to fight DLH for big $$$. So what has his retirement to do with Cotto? It's just common sense folks. If he beat DLH and then retired it would have had some common sense probably but so... it's just plain ******. But hey, we're talking about a promoter here right? Who needs sense. And this is exactly what brings so many boxers in the wrong context history wise, because of ppl (many times promoter) who doesn't like a certain boxer and have to much power to get their version heard.

        May has nothing that Cotto hurts??? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I don't want to go in there about the skill thing, but he seems to have some sort of standing that hurts Cutto or Arum. Why you wanna fight a retired coward?

        It probably really also means... that we're going to see DLH against Pac... cuz if Arum would have wanted to push the Cotto card, why is he again calling out May. Sad day Mr. Arum... now you have some1 who starts to come up and then you give up the chance to make him a superstar by giving Pac this fight. Nothing against Pac but he retires soon and Cotto has so much more left... ****** as ****

          it's right that cotto hasn't called out mayweather because he still got margarito in front of him. if he wins saturday night i am sure he will say something to mayweather. but until then it is the smartest way to shut up for now.

            Manny is a really good fighter... but Floyds skills are great... He lacked the "Ill fight anyone" Spirit, which really sucks... but his skills are unparalleled... and no matter who wins on Saturday... there still not the best welterweight in my eyes... you cant be the best welterweight in the world... if theres a guy sittin in his mansion that can still beat you...


            Thats obviously not fair to Cotto.... but it is what it is.
            not to be an ******* or nothing but how can mayweathers skills be unparalleled when he didnt fight the best. would his skills be that impressive if he lost to a cotto or margarito?

              Why *******? As long as we talk in a good manner *loooooool*

              The best? First of all, I think like stated before... as a boxer you walk a boxing tree... you start as contender. As contender you have to fight everybody. Most boxers stay contenders all their life. Others get to an certain level. And when your at top you call the shots. It always was and it always has been. Cotto still has to fight everybody. He still don't has that level. But he can get there, Cotto has the skill in every category to hang in there with every1. Margarito will never be there, even if he beats Cotto... Margarito will always loose against a moving boxer with solid chin. Margarito simply has not the skill. He's a tough man, throws a lot of punches... but he's simply average. That's the reason why ppl laugh him off... May fought enough man who were taller, who were ''tougher'' and who throw a lot of punches. But against him they could never show there toughness and also couldn't throw a lot of punches. Margarito against May... is like the Corrales fight. It's the same thing. Margarito simply has not enough foot speed to come near enough to May. So when ppl talking about ducking the best and they bring up Margarito it's simply joke... because Margarito will never be the best or one of the best. He's ugly to fight and an contender but that's all... average.

              All the other fighters that he didn't fight are easy to explain... only because ppl call him out it doesn't mean that he has to take the fight. Of course everybody wants to fight the kingpin and when he is in your division, for sure... everybody wants to fight DLH. It's about fame and your name on top of the game. He wanted to fight Cotto in 2005 as both were at 140. After the Gatti fight... but Arum didn't wanted that, and wanted a few more years for Cotto. So now Cotto has to wait. If you make somebody wait on the way to the top it can happen, that he's doing the same to you. If Cotto should win and win and get the DLH fight... and May should come back who else should he fight (maybe Pac).

              Floyd has mad skills. You see that when you see his fights. The ppl that call his opponents ''bums''. They misunderstand something wrong. He doesn't fight bums, he make them look like that. But it happened to a lot of greats...

                the only time he didint take on the best was at 147, 140 was a mess that to this day still never cleared up, at 130/135 he fought all the contenders and champions who were legit at the time before moving up. nobody at 140 really fought each other.

                    The only thing I dont understand is the fact that pbf won a split decision over odlh.He didnt win by a huge margin and pbf thinks he deserves 50M.....
                    He didnt beat oscar up he won a close split decision.I dont get this.Why does pbf deserve 50m for a rematch?He deserves more because he won the fight but 50m?He clearly bid himself out on purpose......I think he got paid 10m for the first if I'm not wrong.Okay take 15m and be happy.He was offered 35m ,what the ****?Anyways he clearly bid himself out end of story.............

He said Mayweather will return to the sport, but not against Cotto or Margarito. [details]
                      This is a terrific attempt by Arum to goad Floyd into a fight. Why not? A fight with Mayweather would make him way more money than "La Batalla".

                      Cotto-Margarito = x

                      Floyd vs (cotto-marg winner) = 3x.
