For all the fanboys and huggers. Let me break it down for you NICE and SLOW!!!

Boxing need's less build- up and more ORDER!!

We dont need some giant BUILD UP to this, seriously, that's more like Mayweather Propoganda AS USAL.

Its Clear RIGHT NOW, who the best 2 WW's are and thats what matters. It will sell wherever!! Wanna another Garden record Breaker? The PPV will do very well and it will be the biggest money fight for Floyd. DLH is damaged and beaten goods :yep

There's more than JUST THIS FIGHT!!

 

You know, last week there was serious doubt that Cotto was the guy to beat PBF.... You remember this tall lanky WW named PW?? After his stunning loss to Q (in you avatar...) He fell the **** out of contention. If, in the process of the build up, one of these guys should lose (Cotto more likely b/c of the activity) then that would be millions lost b/c of waiting... BUT its the right thing to do.

 

when isnt ther eserious doubt in Floyd land that he can be beat?:huh


Glad he feels that way PROVE IT!!!! Thats Boxing History, it doesnt change for Floyd:nono

The millions are there BASED ON COMPETITION, NOT STORY TELLING!! Telling the fighters stories helps but its what happens in the ring against the top opponents THAT MATTERS.

Again there's more than this fight theres more time off and more negoitiation involved so playing games with a Cotto fight is risky and actually counter productive.

This should happen after DLH, PBF will need more time off, and they better get it done. Its not the last STOP.

 

Comments like this are exactly what I am talking about. the fight isn't even being negotiated yet and people are already coming with with mayweather will be past his prime excuses. The longer it takes to make the fight, the less credit Miguel will get if he wins.

 

The real problem is this. Mayweathers ascent over the past few years has occured with the distinct lack of real competion. Not to say that he fought dildos, not at all, but he fought good quality boxers.

He turns 31 this year, 31 years and no greats on his list other than slighty past it Oscar de la Hoya. He has had a career bereft of great contenders. No Mosley, Whitaker, Chavez, Taylor, Trinidad, Duran, Hearns, Leonard.

Thus, every time he meets a good- very good fighter, whether it be Judah or Hatton or Castillo we hope and project what we want to see. This is not a insult at him in anyway, just a observation.

P.s. Every fighter I mentioned in the Great contenders list has a better record of opposition than floyd at his age.

 

Of course, it's only logic. The more fights Floyd takes in the 154 range, well over his natural weight, the more negative effect it will have. Depending on if he has to move down to figth Cotto, even more negative effect. Time is more on Cotto's side than Floyd's you have to agree.

 

Which is why the fight should happen sooner rather than later.

 

Spot on !

I've posted similar opinions recently.

This fight will be made and i hope it is before PBF gets too old

He'd have to be abou 43 to lose to Cotto :deal

 

Waiting may build the fight with hard core fans but not the general public who quickly turn to other sports

 

Good pt

 

So why is he not making arrangements to fight Cotto and then calls it quits? Why does he fight ODLH again?
