    1. I typically look at a fighters previous three fights to gauge their performance. At the time that Cotto faces Pussyao, he was 16 months removed from being destroyed by Margarito with bricks. If you want to pretend that does not have an impact on a fighter, you go right ahead because you clearly don't know **** about boxing.

    2. This whole scared fantasy you have is laughable. How many fights do you have? I think it's crystal clear who is avoiding the fight and who has been avoiding the fight for years.

    No one on this forum cares to look out for bob's best interest except you. Thanks for proving the point.

    I don't need to try. You do the work for me like you do it for arum.

    Your sarcasm fails like pacquiao did on November 12th

    Here you go, lmao.... But nah in all seriousness, if Floyd fights Cotto at anything abovr 150, he wouldn't be fighting Pac's leftovers. Now if it is at welterweight, then you MAY have an argument.

    How does fighting Cotto(e) at a catchweight like 150 dissociate the fight with steroid man? If anything, it makes it more similar.

    Cotto deserves the fight, even if he looses. I mean as much as I love Cotto Floyd is Floyd, but it would sell.

    i actually think Cotto is more competitive than Pac vs Floyd

    Floyd would dominate Pac

    Cotto at 154 would be more impressive to me

    PED bunk began in full force after the Cotto fight. That's when Team Mayweather basically crapped the bed and said "Oh, HELL no!"

    After JMM III, things look easier for Team Mayweather. Which is why, I feel, the tenor of Team Mayweather has changed regarding Pac.

    This isn't rocket science here.

    Again, good try.

    I don't have to look after Arum's best interests. He doesn't need me to do that.

    What I try to do is help people understand what the real factors are in why fights will or won't get made. Behind the hype.

    He's not going to, let it go. Be honest, if he fought Cotto would he even go down in your book?

    Hmmm...You have a very interesting point. At 150+ and with a well suited trainer Cotto has found something. He has slipped as he's gone threw some tough fights, but this 150+ Cotto can give a different fight.
