    wow. they want that **** bad....

    there was only 1 fight so far ive said would never happen...when hopkins was calling out DLH before that torurney started...he said he would cut all this weight and meet him....i said no way in hell DLH ever fights that guy...and really wouldnt blame him...but it was a possibility being one was 154 and the hopkins was making weights of 157,158 for his middleweight title fights...i was wrong....
    but..once again..never is my word...floyd vs sergio - wont happen...he remembers paul williams laying on the matt....and what KP looked like....
    he knows that beast will come out for a floyd mayweather fight...:lol:

    Difference is they are seemingly scrutinized to the nth power in comparison to fighters of decades past. They beat the #1 or #2 guy in the division: Full Credit. No questions asked. Not the case for Floyd and he has a laundry list of #1/#2 guys he's defeated, outclassed or beatdown over the course of his career regardless of anything else. :deal

    Cotto could give Void Hell for several rounds, but Cortez will come to the rescue!

    A mens prime is 27-31 that's when he supposed to be at his best but there are exceptions to the rule. So if you go by that you can say cotto is in his prime but in boxing it doesnt work like that. You have to look at a fighters career how much punishment he has taken how he looks, how dedicated he is. So cotto might be in his mental prime which means he has confidence and is focus, dedicated and knows what he wants. Lets see if the physical part is on par with the mental part.

    Corrales is floyd's best win period that was two young and in their prime fighters and fighting at their weight nobody going up or down for the fight. Is a shame that floyd didnt challenge himself more after that fight i thought he could be special.

    Corrales and Castillo both outweighed Floyd by around 10lbs on fight night. It wasnt the last time Diego made 130 either. And if Castillo had Floyd's number, it's interesting how quickly a rematch took place after Mayweather beat him the First Time, with a shoulder injury. He took five of the first six and won 7-5 btw. :smoke
