25 days ago, we see this article....

I don't think he will fight Hatton. He would get butchered even more. I said a long time ago that I didn't think this fight was happen. Just did not see it happening. People said no no, "It's too big a fight" and stuff like that. It's going to happen, there's way too much money. Man, many fights in history that could've been big haven't happened. I'm disappointed in Floyd, I'm disappointed in Manny. Manny should've called his bluff. The negotiations were way too drawn out, way too trivial. Not sure if this source is accurate, as if Floyd had zero intentions to fight.

But all I'll say is that I figured this awhile ago. Right after Cotto I just didn't see this fight being made. Guess I was right.

 

I remember this article, it was shot down very quickly. But man this Scoop Malinowski has it out for Floyd.

Just like Pete, I kinda had a bad feeling especially after Sr. started the "we wont fight him" campaign.

Floyd needs to fight Mosley/Berto winner..I mean who else is there for him.

 

I dont think theres anyone for him to fight to be honest. People were really looking forward to seeing him fight manny because manny had a chance of winning any other fight he takes will have the shadow of pacquiao hanging over it imo manny on the other hand can go about his business has usual but will have a certain degree of stigma about the, baseless imo, steriod accusations. hope they sort this fight out.

 

I don't know, but fighting MH will get him torn a new *******. I just don't think he would go through with that.

 

Pretty much. Mosley/Berto winner, or PW maybe since he's coming back down to 147. Anyone else would be pretty disappointing. But Manny is fighting Paulie, which should disappoint even the Manny fans. But who knows... we'll see who this all concludes.

 

This thread is extremely informative.

Its information is extremely useless.

 

But Manny has so much more options, I mean he can even fight a Soto.

Bradley...And since he is GBP co promoted, I see him fighting Mosley before Floyd.

 

Pssst, Peter remember what I said?

 

I was talking about Floyd's options now, which is what you responded to me about. Right?

That it wouldn't happen?

That is true. Which makes Floyd's future and legacy all the more unfortunate for boxing fans and his fans. Manny has more options. Though, it seems he's fighting Paulie which is about as low risk as you can go.

 

I'm not sure why that is, but I can surmise that given this short of a lead time, fighting someone the likes of a Bradley would require a bit more training time and preparation. That is given the amount of time lost with this whole fiasco.

 

If floyd fights Matt Hatton then its a confirmation that floyd never really wanted to fight pac... didn't hopkins mentioned a couple of weeks ago that this fight won't happen and that floyd 'might' fight hatton next.
