    Did I say I wanted to see Floyd fight Oscar?


    I wanted him to fight Cotto. But when Cotto had no interest in fighting Floyd. I could care less. Neither pushed for the fight.

    No way, it's a step back, if anything besides Cotto completely destroying Gomez. It's a step back.

    I explained why it's not a step backward. Explain why it is.

    Cintron wants Cotto. Arum could easily pay Clottey to step aside, and fight the winner. But he wants to hype Margo up still even after looking like **** vs Clottey and losing to Williams he wants to hype him up.

    he doesn't have to pay him to step aside. That Mando is not due until later in the year.

    Well, i dont know if any one has said this before, but if Clottey, Cintron and Paul Williams are busy and Floyd wants to take the year off and fight DLH than i think the best option for boxing should be Luis Collazo, or even a rematch with Mosley, lets keep up the good fights, it better for boxing. On a side note, if i am going to criticize Floy Mayweather for not fighting who i think he should fight, im going to do the same with Cotto, and every other boxer for that matter.

    Sorry, not viable. Arum pretty much promised Margo that he would get a fight with Cotto in July. Your proposed plan would **** that up.

    All 3 of them are too blame.


    Floyd didn't push for Cotto.

    Cotto's team wanted DLH.

    DLH wanted Floyd, and Floyd opted to take big money instead of letting Cotto get big money.

    So he MUST stick to his promise? He also told Margo not to fight Williams and he did. I would take back my promise and say **** you and set up a better fight.


    I would rather Cotto fight Berto, then Gomez.

    Collazo is a boring fighter with no fanbase. He's lost 2 out of 3, including 1 to a guy Cotto just beat. Mosely is pretty much done. A rematch with him is pointless, it would certainly do worse numbers than their first fight.

    Berto is not going to accept a fight with Cotto at this time. Arum can't screw over two of his fighters in one move. Making both Clottey and Margo wait longer than they have to for their title shots is not a good move.
