    Back in 2009 I said I thought it would happen in 2012. I was wrong.

    But since then I've said the only way it happens is if both lose or if Mayweather is gunning for 50-0, which would happen to be the fight after the end of his guaranteed contract with Showtime. And I still stand by that.

    Pac-MAB x2, Hopkins-Allen x3, Wlad-Thompson x2, and perhaps Pac-Bradley x2 - I agree that those situations probably covered old ground. But some of the others I thought were warranted on some level or another, and that can even be said of Pac's two fights with Bradley, given the controversial decision.

    I agree. My point is that rematches are not pointless as the other poster made it sound.

    Gotta admit that's a lot of damn rematches among 3 contemporary legends...

    We're on the same page. I'd just stipulate that in the event of Floyd-Cotto II, I understand there is "added significance" that could justify this, given Cotto's new status as the middleweight "king". But all the same, I have no interest in seeing Floyd and Cotto do battle again. I hope it doesn't come to that.

    Then again, I have no interest in Cotto-Canelo either. Or Cotto vs any non-middleweight for the 160 title, if you follow me.

    I enjoyed everyone of the fights between Pac and the trio of Mexicans (assuming that's what you meant), even though I was disappointed in the outcome of quite a few of those. :lol:

    I do follow you. And respect...

    Cotto vs. Ishe Smith on tap? Cotto vs. Quintana II for Middleweight Lineage?!?

    Honestly from my list there are several that were unwarranted or there were perhaps a better fight or two out there instead, but how can they just be completely ignored? I understand giving less credit for rematching a previous dominant victory i.e. Wlad/Thompson II but even in that fight, I mean, Wladimir dominated another fringe-ranked HW who went on to beat Price X2 and Solis and honestly stamped himself a notable HW in the era so what's the complaint really? (rhetorical question)

    Those rematches Manny was in are some of the greatest fights of that era. Cotto/May isn't.

    I expect Dan to gain at least 10 lbs. before the weekend is over.

    I see the Floydettes are already doing damage control.

    LOL at anyone who thinks Floyd Mayweather has the courage to get in the ring with the true PFP no. 1 Manny Pacquiao. :lol:
