How can you cherry pick a top fighter in your division?

Taxes?

 

Haters emit hate & negativity

Groupies emit love and positivity​

 

he's too good for his own good.. :verysad

 

A fight with the #2 Welterweight in the world would be considered inexcusable right now.

 

The three-division world champ also balked at Team Pacquiao's insistence that, like in their first encounter, the rematch would have to be at a catchweight.

"If he wants a big name and wants to fight the best, no catchweight," Cotto said. "Making catchweights is easy for them. They make the other guy have trouble making weight and they take advantage of that. I wasn't going to do that again. I am 154 pounds. I am not going to fight at a catchweight and make myself weak."

Back in 2009, Pacquiao insisted that their fight be at a catchweight of 145 lbs., two pounds under the true welterweight limit of 147 lbs. Cotto says that the effort to make that arbitrary weight limit did, indeed, have an effect on his performance.

 

I have never said that he is not that good. he is a great fighter, not ATG IMO but a super fighter with amazing skills... I will say that he has dissapointed me over the years after he started his career like a house afire. he tore up up Hernandez, trashed Manfredy (when it meant something) and took Corrales (RIP ) to school. He let us down when he started to rise in weight and started fighting differently and carefully picking his opponents. Now I get that being the recent P$P top dog means you get to choose. But, when you look back at the Leonards, Durans, Arguelo`s these guys wanted the best and fought the best. And the did it fightin hard to show that THEY were the boss. They wanted the unlitimate bragging rights that came with that. Baldomir, Cotto after he was wasted twice, no Margs, no Pac and a very used up Mosely. Those were not great matchups IMO. I can not put him P4P aginst ATG`s like Hearns,Leonard, Duran , because he hasn`t sought out the best and beat the best. I also think that the aforementioned in their primes beat him...

 

Yeah Floyd would've really been on Ray Leonard level with a win over Margarito :nut

 

Being an advocate for PED testing is considered a "ridiculous demand"?

ANd boxing isnt a sport, its a business....its called PRIZE FIGHTING....every top fighter in the sport has passed on fighting certain guys for more lucrative PRIZE Fights.

Who wants to be a broke and battered warrior>?

 

atsch 99% of your posts are about haters. :roll:

 

You do realize that Arum killed the Margarito fight. Floyd agreed, but Arum said no DLH. With all that said, Margarito is trash anyway and does nothing for his resume.

Pac made unresonable demands.

Mosley avoided Floyd for years, until Floyd became a huge draw.

 

Why the **** are you talking about Floyd fighting a MW? STFU and go to bed.

 

No, he just is not on a level at 147 with SRL, period !! Leomnard hurts him at welter... Floyd doesn`t take these kind of fights. Mosely, Cotto Baldomir,they don`t count. Christ Leonard beat Hearns, HEARNS ! Do you have any idea what Hearns would have done to Floyd ??? Geez, you brought up the 80`s again. Face it , at welter PBF does not belong in that elite group...
