for the fans, why do you care about how much money floyd makes, are you his accountant? does he give you a cut? i said this before and i'll say it again **** whatever flyd makes **** whatever cotto makes **** whatever de la hoya makes i dont give a **** how much fighters make, thats not my business, i just want to see the bet and most entertaining fights.
No I don't hate everyone that challenges Floyd but I believe that a fighter should first focus on improving and creating his own legacy than to get famous off calling out a fighter. (ala Margarito) You don't have to call Floyd out ... You win a title (like Cotto did) -- don't worry about Floyd ... defend that belt and defend it well, then everything you wish for will come true because others will do the talking for you. He's racking up title defenses ... the more he gets - the more clout he gets ... I'm more of a guy that likes to see champions defend their titles and do it well.
I've never really been overly fussed about Mayweather's persona, there are far worse out there in the boxing world, after all. It's rather nice to believe that Cotto and Mayweather are fans of each other (if it's true). They are both top-notch fighters, after all.... I think I'm beginning to mak my peace with Mayweather not fighting Cotto. It's not as if DLH is, say, Juan Laczano.
Come on man, Margo had a top CV at Welterweight before running into Williams. Personally I detest the idea of someone getting the kudos of being the best fighter at a weight mainly due to his achievements at lighter weights. It doesn't even make sense....
I'm with you? ... why didn't Shane just take the fight? All of a sudden at 36 he thinks he's the guy to beat a prime Mayweather -- hmm? :huh
This guy won the World Welterweight Title and he has the lineal title ... thats not enough? Margarito was fighting once a year and was defending a belt that had no lineage and no clout. You come on now man ... do your research before you comment. Margarito's biggest fight was against Daniel Santos (who is he:huh ) his second biggest fight was against an up and comer in Paul Williams - before that he was headlining B.A.D. Don't say that Floyd didn't accomplish anything because he's as of now the champion ... not for what he did in lighter weight classes ... but for beating Baldomir who was the universally recognized undisputed champ.
if you put it this way you cant blame pac if he beats casamayor and doesn't fight juan diaz/nate campbell.
You know in all seriousness it a pure shame that such a question had to be given to floyd. I'm a fan of PBF but I am more than just deeply dissapointed in his future plans. DLH vs PBF was one of the worst big fight venues I've ever seen, it was a good chess match but I guess the hype surrounding it made the fight seemingly worthless. A rematch is totally uncalled for and the wrestlemania thing just adds wood to the fire that burns in pure fight fans and not just fans of an individual fighter. I'm all about the pursuit of money and wealth and some of our boxing legends have ventured into other sports but not when in their primes with legitimate threats to their throne on standby while the focus on furthering their social status. The fact that PBF is even attempting to justify his moves with telling the public these are the biggest fights for him and ridiculous and insulting to the boxing public. I've been a fan of PBF since the Olympics and this nonsense is getting out of hand. DLH is also sowly becoming a plauge if not already.
I said he doesn't duck the money! Which is logical in a sport that is as dangerous as boxing! I don't give a **** about what he makes and I don't recall stating anything that might elude to the contrary. Right now Cotto aint worth the money obviously, because if he was Mayweather would be all over it! This man is wrestling......for 20 million....And.....coaching a MMA team on BET....If the Money is right Floyd will do anything! Does that clarify it for you! You ****in broken record..
My thing is I don't see why people say he ducked Shane (not you). People are quick to downplay him and then if he ever fights him people will say well shane was past his prime and Floyd should have fought him years ago. How the hell did I get on Shane Mosley?
What does Pac have to do with this discussion? No I can't ... if he beats Casa ... he's the champ and doesn't have to fight Juan Diaz or Nate Campbell ... you see no one is giving Casa any heat for not fighting Juan Diaz in the past or not calling out Nate Campbell after his recent victory. Pac doesn't have to worry about anything ... he's the universally recognized champ at 130, despite what he does at 135.
