Miguel Cotto Made Floyd Mayweather Retire, Says Arum

[jk4real]

Probably Floyd is not all about that money that ppl think. He beat DLH... I think that he can live with the money he has... he won and DLH wanted the rematch. Floyd didn't wanted it... DLH wanted it these time around. So Floyd said you pay me or **** U. I think to this day ppl still don't realise how good his showing against DLH was. You will see what I mean, if we ever see a DLH-Cotto fight... you will find out what I mean.

There is no arguing about his competition at 147. There are a lot of WWs who have a better resume at 147. But that doesn't change the facts or skills. PPL hate him now, but as he was all smile and nice ppl didn't give a **** about him. Now he acts arrogant and ppl talk about him. I mean say what you want about his drawing power... DLH always sells... but he could have had his record PPV with every1. But no1 on his side sold as well as Floyd, so ppl seem to care about him now. And thats what I'm talking about. Most ppl think that Floyd ''Fans'' are out of there mind, and some write some mindboggling things but in the end, all of you who believe Arum and his compaign getting served... you just don't realise it. You all getting played. Floyd doesn't need Cotto... I know that's what you ppl think and that Cotto doesn't need May but Cotto needs him, believe me... he will not get recognition for beating Margarito. He will not even get that recognition for beating an now even more older DLH. Cotto needs May... and all that stuff about May running from 8 million against Marga... one more time for the slow ones...

Margarito called him out somewhere around 2005. He became an WW during the year and also stopped working with Arum because of problems with him and there is also a lawsuit to this day. Floyd fought Judah who should have been the linear champion, but he lost before. After the fight as it was clear for Arum that May doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore... he suddenly started this offer... 8 Million $$$. The offer was not always on the table, as Floyd was with Arum nobody mentioned that... it started as they finally parted. The 8 Million is bogus anyway because this was not going to be on PPV and Margarito had no name... so I don't know where he got that 8 Million from anyways... he offered Shane Mosley about 1 Million to fight Marga... so this 8 Million is simply a myth... cause Arum knew Floyd wouldn't take the fight. Floyd fought then Baldo for 8 million and 1 $ (I guess this was a ***** slap, to make them see, if they would have given him 1 $ more that it would happened... but I think the (8 Million 1 $ offer was also not real just to show them) he got on PPV and fought the linear WW champion. After that he fought DLH and right after that Hatton. So I don't know where he should have fought some1 else in this time.

You also never heard him say I give you 8 million for Cotto. Why? Because Floyd would have taken the 8 Million for Cotto 100%. Cotto is not 4 inches taller then him and to expose Arum he would have done that 100% Arum is a joke and ppl who listen to him ain't jokes they just have a jokable opinion

If Mayweather is such a coward why cant people let him retire in peace, Why is arum trying to get a fight with him?[/B]

ROBERT MORALES: Hey, Bob, what makes you say ?we all know all the fighters you’ve been involved in, all the fighters you’ve seen, what makes you say that Floyd is the best fighter you’ve seen in 40 years other than the young Muhammad Ali?

BOB ARUM: Well, you know, there are a number of aspects that make a great fighter. One is speed. His speed is phenomenal. The way he throws punches, phenomenal. The way he is conditioned, phenomenal. I mean, he’s the entire whole package. And beside all of those skills, he is the ?again, put Ali aside ?and I was just those couple of years with Ali were, I mean, maybe because my eyes were younger then, but put Ali aside, other than Ali, he’s the most intelligent fighter that I have ever seen. I mean, Floyd, this is no bull****; Floyd can see a punch coming before the other guy knows he’s going to throw it. Do you understand that? I mean, I have never seen such ring intelligence that Floyd demonstrates.

And so he’s the whole package, and you know, Ray Leonard was a great fighter, Marvin Hagler was a great fighter, Duran certainly was great, Oscar had a couple of years where he was very good, but there’s nobody that is a whole package like Floyd.

Great post mate, The underline bit show how ****** so many boxing fans are, We take other peoples opinion has our, They do our thinking for us because they would say something and we read it then carry it on like the disciples of jesus preaching the gospel.

If Mayweather is such a coward why cant people let him retire in peace, Why is arum trying to get a fight with him?

I mean you can't be mad at these cats... cause the human in these days is not trained to think. They are trained to take whats in front of them. Sometimes the answer is around the corner but it's easier to look at the horizon and walk besides the ppl who have the same opinion. Educate folks. Everything I wrote, I know from interviews, internet research etc. And I live in Germany so I'm not even around that **** like most of you. Read and not only read, read and think about it

Thanks Ray... I have to say you are one of the persons here that I also noticed in a positive way. I saw a lot of your posts, respectful and with a good opinion. I'm a fan

Always nice to hear Mr. Arum quotes about the time where he still was with a fighter... what 2 years can change *loooooooooooooooooooool*

But now as you mention I remember it too... it was about the Judah fight if I'm not wrong. I relive the words right now. Like I said... Mr. Arum is a funny dude...

I love it when someone like arum owns himself like this, He comes out with a honest interview like this one then when Mayweather left him he started the hate campaign.....Am actually glad Mayweather doesnt want to work with him again, If cotto or Margarito leave him am pretty sure their chance of getting Mayweather in the ring will improve dramatically.

Great Post

[jk4real]

What pisses me off the most is not that ppl have ''their'' own opinion but that everytime a Floyd thing comes up... the same ppl talking the same wrong BS. And I mean not a wrong in case of some1 been not objective, I'm talking about wrong facts. The facts are there but most use them wrong and think they talk the truth.

Especially because there always some ppl who came new to boxing. And most of them need somekind of feedback to get there knowledge checked. And if you would be in this forum ppl always and always again bring wrong facts. As they would have been the lawyer in this case and know what happened. As they would have been involved in this real life. That what pisses me off. There are facts... fact is Floyd never fought Cotto or Margarito... thats fact... and everything else why and the money is involved is all speculation. Nobody but God can judge some1. You find it out the hard way when you married for 20 years and your happy and suddenly your wife is gone, cuz she was not happy. What I'm saying is even ppl who are closest to you, you sometimes don't know what they got in mind... so how in the hell you want to know what May has in mind??? You could get a feeling here from the way ppl talk here that they are his brother or former business partner from him and know everything. You know ****... as I do... so please stay by the facts
