    Look son. I know, and many intelligent boxing fans knows that Cotto and Margo are virtually zero risk fights. If Arum wanted Floyd next he would'nt have set a mutha****ing deadline:deal

    All fight deals have deadline. What are they to do? Just wait forever for PBF to finally agree? After hearing what PBF had to say today, they made the right choice.

    only those who don't watch boxing thinks cotto and margo are zero risk. cotto and margo will even beat the crap out of bradley and berto.

    so until when should they wait for floyd, until he grows a pair?

    ******ed ****stick,

    People who know boxing know Cotto(already been prison raped by Pac) and Margarito(thoroughly exposed as a plodding slowpoke that can take a beating) And nevermind the fact that Margo couldnt hit the "blazing fast" Mosley, yet somehow he can give Pac a fight? No. Pac beat Margo WORSE than Mosley has. And tell me doctor what in the **** does Bradley(featherfisted and a weight class beneath him) or Berto(definition of a HYPEJOB) have to with any ****ing thing? And you honestly think that because (in your opinion) Cotto and Margo "beat the crap" out of them that it somehow means they give Pac a good fight? Explain this to me doctor.

    Regardless, Top Rank has no choice but to wait for PBF. Arum really just put Floyd in the drivers seat by giving a deadline. The best thing to entice Floyd into a fight at this point would've been to just shut the **** up and let Floyd open his mouth first. And fights don't always have a goddamn deadline. If Arum were serious about a Floyd fight he would've entered into normal negotiations. Instead Arum gave Floyd some sillyass deadline and waited... Do the math

    Cotto is legit, and looks great he is capable of doing damage, whatever Steward is doing with him, it is working, keep it going. :good

    Margarito on the other hand is a ****ing peice of **** that is slow as **** without is Plaster laced wraps giving him the ability to inflict damage on opponents that hinder their performance against him, he is ****ed. :-(

    Pac isn't your average boxer looking for a payday. He has other obligations he has to work into his boxing career. He has made it known since his last fight that November is his only open date. There is promotion tour that has to take place, venue, and so many other things to get a good PPV going. So you do the math.

    No they have a choice ( granted the name Arum choose to throw out as his next opponent sucks to hell). Floyd is not boxing. If he has no interest, as he stated, then boxing goes on.

    Cotto looked good against a WEAK "done nothing" Yuri Foreman. Nothing Steward is doing with him will help him beat Pac. Pac beats Cotto 100 times out of 100.

    I agree with you 100% on Margo:good

    cotto is still an elite. anyone who thinks cotto is a zero risk even in a rematch doesn't know boxing and its history. many fighters have proven themselves and proven the doubters wrong by avenging their loss. as much as i don't want margo since he is a cheater, he is definitely a threat as seen in his last fight.

    as for berto, pac will just blitz through him. also in the case with bradley. as much as i like williams to be pac's next fight, this will never happen. arum has lined-up cotto/margo in case floyd won't man-up. cotto is the 2nd best money-wise option for pac.

    this will be all avoided if floyd just accepted the fight. and now we are left with pac-cotto2 which is not as bad as you are tring to portray it. cotto is still a live opponent. as of now, he will wipe the floor with any of the welterweights including floyd. he might even upset the inconsistent williams at 147 or 154. he would beat mosley again worse than before mosley was shot and he could certainly beat margo next time they meet.

    fact is manny went out and become congressman but is still here looking out to fight floyd in november which is practically what every sane boxing fan wants, a floyd-pac fight this year.

    Floyd on the other hand went to some youth camp and finds himself too busy and wants to take a year off cause he 'doesn't have boxing in his mind as of now"

    that is duck, no getting around it

    So you're basically saying it's either Floyd or nothing at all for Pac and he should wait however long it takes for *Floyd* to tell them when the fight is going to be? That's an awful lot of power to give up. Nobody in their right mind would or should do that in a fight between equals.

    November 13th was the date they both had in mind for months. There was nothing wrong with that date and a deadline to make sure that date can be kept for a fight is more than fair.

    right now the arum kool aid sounds a lot more refreshing than Floyd's jizz that you've been guzzling on.

    At least Arum is moving on, even if its a total dick move. He's keeping his fighter busy.
