Floyd vs Cotto - a total mismatch - Floyd does it again!!!

No I have watched boxing for over 20 yrs ..These were all certified mismatches and this one is no diffrent due to where his oppoenents are at this stage of the game !

The talent pool today is so watered down its sad !

And who doesn't consider these fights mismatches idiots like Dan Rafeal ?

Who really gave Ortiz a chance at beating Mayweather especially after watching him break down in the Maidana fight menatlly and even after his win over Berto ?

You really saying Mosley had a shot ? Last I recall Floyd was a 5-1 going into that ..And not every BELT holder is world class ! Learn that first ! And lets also not forget that there are 17 weight divisions ! These days they are just handing out titles !

I love boxing but lets call it what it is ..I don't recall Floyd being involved in a pick em fight for yrs now ..Floyd knows what he's doing thats why he's writing the scripts and his fans are eating it up ! Thats why they look diffrent on paper !

The next pickem fight is Bute and Froch ,Not Floyd vs Cotto ! Big diffrence there !

 

I know where you're trying to go with this and I'm not biting. 50/50 split wouldn't have gotten the fight made regardless

Today in a statement to Boxing Insider, Sergio Martinez responded to Floyd Mayweather.
“I’m focused 100% on Matthew Macklin, and I’m not interested in anything else. Floyd had enough time to reach a deal. Anyway, if he wants the fight he knows who he has to speak with. I said 150 and I will keep my promise. The same way I ask Hopkins and Ward [to meet at] a catch-weight, I don’t have problems in fighting at Jr. Middleweight.Talk is cheap. Fight or shut up. November would be a good month. I would have enough time to reach 150 and you could be recovered from your holidays.

atsch ****off. It was an interview with Sergio Martinez. If you're not going to be impartial, then there's no point in having this conversation

 

The talent pool being watered down, and Mayweather making his opponents look like mismatches is his fault? Pacquiao from De La Hoya to Clottey looked unbeatable, he made his bouts look like mismatches. Where they mismatches?

Many don't consider certain bouts mismatches.

I didn't, doesn't make it a mismatch though. Here is the definition of a mismatch -

Mayweather against a novice boxer is a mismatch. Mayweather against someone who hasn't come close to world class level is a mismatch. Afterall this is boxing, and anything can happen. Considering you have watched the sport for over 20 years, you would think you could recognise the difference.

Of course he had a shot, he had Mayweather hurt in the second, is that not a shot? Or did you predict Mayweather to recover and win over 12? Of course you did.

I don't give a **** about betting odds. Not relevant in a boxing debate, at all.

The only pick em fight that is available for him, IMO, at WW is Pacquiao. And I still favour Mayweather. The reason being, they are the only two elite boxers at WW.

Other than Pacquiao and Martinez, name just one bout that is a pick em bout, or not a mismatch? :think


I'm going to watch some football, anyway.

 

you're right....Money is so damn good, everyone is a mismatch

 

floyd is a WW...fought one fight at 154 ever...so he moves up to fight the best option at 154, and that is the easiest option?


who else could he fight?

khan, ortiz (again), berto, bradley, martinez (a ****ing MW), Maidana, Peterson, Paulie, Jones, Brook, Alexander, JMM (again), Dzinsiruk, Kirkland, Lara, Morales, Mosley (again), and of course, I want a new stadium and 40 mil is not enough I will fight for 7.5 mil Pac?


Is Cotto really the easiest option?

 

Hey why did you duck Charley Burley?

sergio fights at 160 because he is a MW...he isn't getting big names at 160, so that argument makes no sense

Lara would not sell (yet) and the is pretty damn green...if floyd got **** for fighting a green ortiz, is would be 10 times worse with Lara

And as far as Manny and he money...40 mil is 60% more than his biggest fight to date. Seriously, 60% more...come the **** on.

 

I hate this multiple quote **** :twisted:

No but Floyd sure did take some time off to wait for the waters to calm down a bit ..And fighting 1 time a year also didn't help ! Coming up from 130 there were some guys he could have fought ..



I recall Winky Wright calling him out when he was champ,a fight with Forrest could have been made when Mosley turned him down ..At the higher weights I really don't see who he's fought that really pushed him ? An out prime Oscar ? Mosley ? Both guys were long past their best,they were nothing more than names to pad the record !

Below 140 you gets no arguements he was a beast and against anyone all time he would be a problem ..But north of it ,I really wonder :think




And that road you just described for Manny weren't considered mismatches due to Pacquio's size but in the end we all saw what they were ..I didn't know Manny was so good he could just turn Clottey into a stationary punching bag ..Wonder why he's been MIA for over a year ..:think

No I never predicted for Mosley to rock him and MW to recover to win like that ..I just picked Mayweather to win based on where Mosley was at this place in his career .


And considering Manny and Floyd are the only elite level boxers left you would also have recognised that the guys he fought were not on his level when they fought him ..

A Pacquio fight will also be a mismatch ..I'm not mislead into thinking everything served today is rittled with greatness because its popular ..

They are all great boxers but they are not all great rivals !

Look we can agree to disagree ..I just hope this actually entertains ..:bart

 

Mayweather/Pacquiao is a mismatch?
