    Zab would crumble when he realizes what kind of beast he was in there with. Even at 140lb's, Shane would crush Zab.

    Maybe Floyd should act like a Champion and stop dissing real champions and fight Miguel Cotto rather than milking the world with fights no one wants.

    You just hold on to you're irrational logic in dissing Shanes age while you're hero tries to be like Shane and beat DLH twice. Keep on huffing and puffing.

    I don't know about that:bart

    Certainly not if Pac isn't wearing reyes gloves, is weight drained, has blistered feet because he didn't wear socks, the headbutt cut is affecting him, he isn't throwing enough punches, he's distracted by the ringcard girls, too many distractions in his outside life and an ankle injury

    :yep

    What the hell are you talking about? How am I using irrational logic? Mosley is old, so is DLH. I'm not dissing anyone, I'm simply stating the truth. Are you going to try to tell me that Shane isn't old for a boxer?

    Miguel Cotto was begging for a DLH fight. Him and his camp were all for that fight. The only reason Cotto won't be fighting in June is because they were waiting to see if DLH would agree to fight him. So it was either going to be DLH/Cotto, or DLH/Mayweather II. Cotto will get his ass kicked in due time. While he's waiting, he needs to keep improving and keep racking up victories.

    Miguel Cotto - Looked like against Torres if you hae trouble with Torres how can he mke it at 147lbs but he is jusrt a machine up there.

    Junior Witter - He can look very crappy due to negativity but he always gets the job done and now puts more risk in his game which is paying off right now. Severly underrated power.

    Amir Khan - Got put down by Willie Limond, I even thought he was a bum after this, but has looked real good eer since and has really improed his temperment, I think Khan will make it big and not just lightweight. Khan would have beaten Katsidis imo. He probably can beat most lightweights out there if he uses his skills and doesn't trade. Plus made Graham Earl look like a complete laughing stock.
