    But Im starting to get disappointed... He wont fight Cotto because he is retiring yet he is supposedly fighting DLH on Sept? WTF. Probably, PBF would fight Cotto if Cotto fought against Williams and he lost.

    Welcome to the "I hate Floyd" club dude. Gets bigger every day. Did you ever see the movie "Amadeus?" Well, it's about a young genius named Mozart. In the movie the guy is a total little brat, everyone ****en hates him, but yet he's incredible at his talent and he knows he is. Well, I always think of that movie when I think of Floyd. How does the movie end? They throw him in a mass grave with all the other commoners!:lol:

    I dont hate Floyd. Im a fan. Its just that, people would always question his opposition or the timing of his fights. Like his fight against Hatton, people were complaining about the referee.

    How is it, in ESB members opinion, that it's always Floyd - and never his challengers - who is refusing a fight?

    He makes more money fighting DLH, that all this kid care about, "money" Mayweather. Look you guys all think it is Mayweather this and that, he is scared of Cotto, that is complete bull****, If there was more money to fight Cotto that would be his next fight but is not. He fights DLH again there is another 25 to 30 million dollar pay day and cotto he get half that amount. It is all about money for floyd at this stage of his career.

    Yo Sweets. Like this kid. 2005. DLH Older Slower Than floyd I was told floyd wood put a beat down on DLH. As You's Knows Floyd won a rather close one. Hatton Was almost knockout by collazo in the 12th round, Yet Older Mosley Whipped Collazo Floyd fought Hatton? No Mosley? Now! He is fighting DLH again??? Paul williams, Cotto, Etc are waiting. I guess Floyd walks around saying he is the best, But not fighting the best. You are as good as your ?

    Cotto is the one who:

    1) Before Mayweather-Hatton, was already making plans for his next fight. Arum even said that it could be De la Hoya or Clottey in April/May and then Margarito in July.

    2) After Mayweather-Hatton, said that they preferred to fight De la Hoya instead of Mayweather, because there was more money in that.

    Cotto is not fighting Mayweather and instead fighting Alfonzo Gomez. This sucks. Arum doesn't want Cotto to lose. That's why he refused a fight with Mayweather in 2005.

    However, I think Cotto-Mayweather will happen in late 2008 or 2009. Remember that Mayweather-Hatton took two years to happen.

    He fought Hatton because that fight was the one that many wanted and was being prepared for two years...since Hatton beat Tszyu. It was Lineal Champion against Lineal Champion and, also, Hatton was undefeated and a P4P fighter. It's stupid to complain about that fight. Remember also that **** about a toothache that Mosley said when Mayweather offered him a fight.

    If Mayweather is not the best, who's the best?...Cotto, who beat 37 years old Urkal, one-year inactive Zab Judah and 36 year old Shane Mosley? Mosley...who beat shot Vargas, decent contender in Collazo and then lost against Cotto?....Williams, who has only beat Margarito and nobody else (he needs more time in top level)?...Margarito, who struggled against Clottey and then lost against Williams?....Cintron, who beat Mark -nobody- Suarez?
