    But if Vernon was on the top of his game he wouldn't have lost to Mayorga and then disappeared for 2 yrs.

    Yeah I know he had the shoulder injury, but he hasn't done anything since beating Shane Mosley.

    I think he was a good talent but his window is closing he needs some unification bouts -- stop calling out the big name WW ... unify at 154

    Spinks and Alcine ... then maybe he can lure a smaller MW or a big WW into a big time fight. I know if it were possible, i'd like to see him fight Winky - possibly at 160.

    Glorified.....ha! I got a pimple on my dick that boxes ***** better than he throws a jab. But I must admit he's entertaining and packs a pretty solid punch.

    Yeah Arum is hurting boxing ...

    He should do the Pacquiao v JMM III/ a trilogy should have been set considering the first fight was a draw.

    PBF v Cotto (screw the money offer PBF 20m plus the gate and PPV revenues and offer Cotto 10m plus the gate and PPV revenues) you're going to get your money back and some !!

    these are the two biggest fights available with the best v best label ... man this is ridiculous.

    I'd put the two on the same card along with Kelly Pavlik v Winky and call it the card of the century.

    Charge everyone $100 buck a pop to watch it and mark the tickets $3,500 ring side and hold the bout at Yankee stadium.

    Floyd FANS in general, dont know much about MUCH, EXCEPT TALKING ****! So what we gonna DO WIT IT???:lol: Hit em with the FACTS OF COURSE:yep

    Arum has now UNDISPUTEDLY said Cotto wants Floyd=$20,000,000:good He also indicated THAT DLH WILL PLAY BALL EITHER WAY. Floyd can fight Cotto and if Floyd wins? Floyd can get that DLH rematch he so desperately desires.:rofl

    Floyd has YET to say the same or discuss:huh Remember how the Hatton fight(which they beat 2 death and eternity with OFFERS and FEAR Excuses) GOT STARTED??

    Ok. The next step goes a little something like this, Floyd Mayweather Jr." Hey mutha****a(Leonard"Lip2Rectum" ELLERBE), get that mutha****a on the PHONE. Tell em if he wanna go to war? I'LL TAKE YOU 2 WAR. Did you hear me *****....MAKE THE ****ING FIGHT!!" Leonard "Lip 2 Rectum" Ellerbe " Yes, SIR, Mr. Floyd sir, THANK YOU SIR. If they knew you like I do, they'd UNDERSTAND YOU'RE GREATNESS"

    :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

    Its' time, Floyd " MAKE THE ****ING FIGHT" MAYWEATHER SUper P4P Blah, blah, blah CHampion to step up :happy :cool:

    Why such a big font to say nothing at all? Where is the source of this offer? I want evidence besides some poster here at esb making **** up off the top of his head. I expected better from you C Money... You're usually a good poster.

    C_Money I never heard of Arum offering PBF 20m to fight Cotto ... he said in an interview once that "now that Floyd has fought Oscar, he's going to want Oscar money and I don't know who's going to give it to him."

    the recent reports of a lawsuit against the two ... I don't think Arum is going to come off more money to settle the lawsuit and on top of that pay FLoyd his desired purse to make the fight happen.

    Great news.

    I see Mayweather schooling Cotto. He won't refuse $20 million. The only problem here is:

    1. Do we have to wait 6 months after the Oscar-Floyd rematch? That would make the fight happen in April-May 2009.

    2. Will Cotto have the time to fight everyone he needs to fight? Arum has already said Cotto will fight Gomez, Margarito-Cintron winner, Mayorga and his mandatory Joshua Clottey. Maybe someone else becomes available for Cotto (like a Mosley rematch, Williams etc) or he gets injured. That could be a problem and delay Mayweather-Cotto.

    DLH is one and done this year ... he's going to take the rest of the year off after his victory over forbes.

    Oscar hasn't fought twice in one year in I don't know how long -- but its been a while since he's been so active.

    I don't think he does it ... I think he's satified with the win and fighting - maybe Forrest for his farewell fight.

    SPECULATION !!

    he should fight tito at 160 as his farewell fight. You think Tito would get into shape for that one?
