    Ok, I really don't give a **** what you believe. Many PR's don't follow the sport as closely as you say seeing as how a lot of them bet on Tito to beat Hopkins and Wright. Either that or they're just nuthuggers who blindly bet on their guy. However, I don't think the latter is true.

    Im not gonna get into ignorant keyboard matches with computer warriors. Grow up for once and engage in an intelligent conversation. I would hope you are fully capable of doing so without making yourself look like a fool at the same time.

    :hi:

    Its really easy to skew fights to support your point of view:

    Cotto- Mosely (way past his prime/ many saw fight a draw) Judah (first fight back since being banned 1-2 yrs) Urkal (deducted 2 points by ref and was behind on cards so the corner threw in the towel b/c of 'unfair treatment') Quintana (gotta give credit where credit is due but too green to fight cotto)

    You see?

    Nard only gets involved in important fights now. Maybe if Tito wins a couple of fights, they can fight again.

    No, I don't see

    There is no way you can skew any of Mayweather's wins at 147 to be better than a win over Mosley, old or not

    There is no way you can skew Baldomir to be anything other than a journeyman that got lucky. His losses are in double figures, I don't care if he was linear whatever

    There is no way you can skew Hatton to be a better fighter than Quintana at 147, he very nearly lost to a less skilled fellow Puerto Rican southpaw

    No it wasn't. He really didn't properly address any of the points I made, and he attacked points that I didn't make.

    Its not skewing fights its a list of all the fights at WW each man has had. And Mosely may be past his prime, but he isn't exactly Hoya, Urkal could have been given 12 points he wasn't winning the fight by any stretch of anyones imgination, and yea judah came off a two year ban, but Judah said it before the fight, he never got beat up, UNTIL he fought Cotto. Oh and that GREEN Quintana just fought Paul Williams, who many people feel would beat Cotto and give Mayweather a run for his money, in his second fight after the fight with Cotto and decisively beat him. I know it obvious seems biased because i'm a cotto fan, but when you compare what they have done at WW Cotto has the better record and has fought the tougher opposition. And BigReg you claimed that Cotto was only fighting Mayweather leftovers which is why I compared the two records. And it does combat what you said about Cotto being protected, because he has been fighting better fighters than mayweather and if the comp cotto has faced is better than that of the "champ" how can you say he's protected?

    You're a pretty angry guy.

    Bob did not protect Floyd the way he did Cotto, he didn't need to. Floyd won his first title after only 17 fights and had beaten 5 titleholders in 4 weight classes by the time he dumped Arum. Cotto has yet to beat 1 titleholder. Furthermore, Arum kept Floyd in the dark for years; paid all the attention to De La Hoya.
