    So he cherrypicks DLH, now is trying to do the same to Cotto? If he is not comfortable at 147 why fight a guy whose natural weight is @ 147? Like fleaman said, go fight guys your own size.

    it could be the same for cotto and mosely why are they cherrypicking on a smaller fighter fighting as a welterweight. two sides to the story.

    cherrypicking? both pac and dlh weren't comfortable @147. it wasn't their natural weight class. pac went up two weight classes from 135 while dlh went down from 150. it would've been grossly unfair for pac to go up 3 weight classes and fight the bigger dlh at his more natural weight of 154 or 150. 147 was a fair compromise in this situation. and it actually turned out to be a sort of catchweight fight between them. if i'm not mistaken chavez-whitaker was also a catchweight fight, pavlik-hopkins was one too. leonard-hearns 2... etc.

    You originally called me a Floyd fanboy or nuthugger or whatever you guys call it...:good

    I am not a fan of his. He is not my first, second, or even third favorite welterweight. That would be PW, Zab, and Clottey. I have never said differently.

    Just admit you were wrong about it. Just because I don't jump on the Mayweather bash train, doesn't make me a "nuthugger." It's only an internet post board. It's OK to admit you were wrong about this. Really.

    Thanks for playing.
