    People are always going to hat, but TBH, can't understand why anyone would have a problem with this fight becuase look at how much exposure the sport is going to get from this.

    Why do you care about the exposure the SPORT gets? Do you honestly think that will benefit fight fans any? How does a rematch NO ONE asked for help boxing? Especially when the first fight was a total let down compared to the pre-fight hype?

    WHat this rematch is doing is:
    1. Keeping the best boxer on the planet INACTIVE until next September. Is that what you want? You're fave to sit around for a year instead of watchuing him?
    2. Putting DLH in a meaningless tune up fight efore his rematch that no one wants (except Floyd and DLH).
    3. Keeping better fights w/ meaning from happening.

    1st fight was not a let down IMO and this fight will have VERY VERY high PPV numbers. Exactly how does that hurt the sport of Boxing getting all that exposure?

    Is this sport not Prize Fighting, where they fight for money?


    Gomez, soft.

    margo, is not a heavy hitter.

    Judah was a big puncher but Cotto cheated and that took away from Judah.

    Quitana isn't a big puncher either.


    Cotto is lined up for Gomez next, then most likely Margo because Arum knows Margo will beat Cintron, note the reason he set up cintron-margo and not Cintron-Cotto.

    Also, then theres Margo, whos not a big puncher himself. After Gomez. THEN the Mando of Clottey who aint a big puncher. And then after Clottey a WBA Mando, which we will have to find out who that is.



    Shane Mosley a big puncher? LOL. Shane stopped a completely shot Vargas, the last time Shane stopped someone was in 2001. Shane is not a big puncher at 147 or up.

    Lets' see, alot of hadcore boxing fans will still buy the fight like they did the 1st time around and boxing is the winner of all this because of all the exposure this fight will get.

    You know damn well money isn't the only thing they fight for. If you are going to somplify all your answers, you aren't worth really discussing anything with.



    So, all of them are soft hitters. :roll: And a punch to the nuts took Judah's power away?

    THen please, tell me who all these heavy hitters are that Cotto is avoiding.

    Was Mayweather avoiding heavy hitters too? I mean, if I want to be as riduculous as you are, we can pretty much say the same thing about Floyd right?

    And basically any other boxer who doesn't meet YOUR CRITERIA of a hard hitter.

    So please, in all your wisdom, and since you know more about Arum and Cotto then anyone, since you ALWAYS tell us what the real reason is with them, tell me which hard hitters Cotto is avoiding.

    Dude, harcore fans will by most any fight. THat's why they are hardcore fans. What kind of fan are you? A hardore fan, or just a Mayweather fan?

    So, it will help boxing because a lot of people will watch? I guess if we have Floyd and DLH fight 4-5 more times, boxing will be what then.....super huge? :huh

    They arn't soft hitters. They arn't heavy hitters. gomez isn't a big puncher, nor is Mosley at 147, Quitana has only knocked out bums and Judah lost some steam after taking two flush nut shots.

    Its terrible exposure, the more people that watch this fight, the worse it is for boxing.

    It turns the sport into a joke, its meaningless, its showing a pre season game as the superbowl.

    And you're kidding yourself if you dont think the vast majority of the public who saw the first fight thought it was terrible, all I heard from people who aren't normally boxing fans, and plenty of people who are, who watched it was "I'll never watch either of these two fight again" or "that was a complete waste of my time"

    I'd rather see someone new. Put DLH in there with someone else, put Floyd in there with Cintron, Williams or Cotto. What weight is this fight going to be at?

    I never said people said it was a great fight, I just said IMO it was a good, entertaining fight. How does exposure hurt the sport exactly? It can't.
