    first off "PAUSE".....i never said Floyd cleaned out the division....i said...name a fighter who has?...and u failed to do that.....fighters dont make fights...NETWORKS & Promoters MAKE FIGHTS.....

    RISK?...man everytime a boxer steps in a ring its a "risk" no matter who it is.....Margo isnt a RISK..he is yet another ARUM HYPE job that has 5 losses on his record!!!!:lol: ..and he is a risk to the P4P best fighter in the world?:patsch

    Why is it people like you are unable to debate without calling someone an hater with an opinion that differs to yours? Yes Hatton would generate more money maybe but its not a credible fight. If its just about money then thats fair enough but the ATG's aren't judged on the size of their bank balance when they retire.

    Most people, besides the PBF apologists, want to see a Cotto/Mayweather bout because he is seen as a legitimate threat & is an undefeated up & comer. Whether you think he stands a chance or not is irrelavent. Its a significant fight for boxing that Floyd has not entertained. Its an omission from his resume whether you like it or not.

    ATG is just an Opinion that u have...the REAL boxing writers know Mayweather is the truth....

    I dont even see how he is seen as a threat....thank bob arum for that,....he coulda made the fight after Mayweather ruined Gatti....but he didnt want to ruin Cotto before he got his stock to rise....so he held off....now all of a sudden Mayweather is AFRAID of Cotto?:-(

    Like i said...the promoters and Networks want to maximize the potential of this fight....Cotto is just an up and commer...who has he beat that should warrant him a shot at Mayweather?..lol...he hasnt even beat a WW champ...when u say he is a threat that is ur opinion ......just like Margo was the most feared man in boxing b4 lanky ass paul williams beat him......:thumbsup

    Yes I believe Margo would lose to Cotto or Floyd. ut I do believe Arum has the best fighters in the world. Also Margo loses came elr n his career. Plus I felt he beat Williams and did he move up to fight Santos. If someone offered me 8 mill and I'm the greatest. I would have fought Baldo and since he didn't do no damage, I would have fought Margo two months later for some more money, since that was suppose to be easy for him. Then Hoya, Hatton ,and Cotto. But why would I hate on Floyd, there is no reason to. He just isn't the greatest and remember there are more weight class than back it the golden age of boxing

    Even Floyd fans want to see it, including him and me both. But to me t seems like the truth is coming out about Floyd anyway, he is scared he may lose. All the greatest fighters have lost. But Floyd is not on that list

    Your debating skills are poor. Obviously he is an ATG but certainly not as high up as he would like to think he is. The fickle, hyperbole loving writers of today will change their minds as the moment suits them. The boxing historians, the ones that pick apart careers will find enough holes in Floyd's career to keep him well away from the higher echelons of boxings all time elite.

    Unless you having anything interesting to come back with besides your tame heresay, conjecture, lols & emoticons please dont bother. I like to discuss things with adults, not childish fanboys.

    Who said Floyd was getting 30 mill. The only reason why he made the money he did was of PPV SALES. He got 10 up front. Do you think it would have sold 2.4 or that close again? Hell nah, it wouldn't the world knew that the first fight was boring. If anyone deserves money for the second fight it would be Roger and Floyd Sr. for being the ones people wanted to see.

    Did you have some kind of mental illness? You are completely missing the point I was making & just using the bits you feel give you the best chance to make your lame comments & use emoticons.

    he fought Baldo because it meant more.....why the **** would he fight a guy with 4 losses and no Titles?...lol...the only reason he fought Baldo was because he beat JUDAH.....he took the titles...and just to be sure people didnt say it was a fluke....he beat up Judah.....fighting Judah and Baldo means more than fighting Margo for sure...and that 8 million offer was just another ARUM Hype job to bash floyd....Mosley said he would take the 8million and Arum turned it down....Mosley was a bigger PPV draw than Mayweather at that time so why not Fight Mosley?

    Arum blows smoke...and u guys choke off of it.....just like when he promoted Mayweather it was..."Mayweather is the most gifted boxer i have ever seen.....he is better than SRR":deal ..............then Mayweather leaves Top Rank....Top Rank misses out on their cut for Mayweather-De LA Hoya and now its...."Mayweather is afraid to fight someone he can lose too":huh

    lol@ Obviously he is an ATG but certainly not as high up as he would like to think he is.....

    the fact that he is an ATG says it all....who cares where he ranks.....thats debatable.....im sure he is honored to be an ATG....the so called fans are the ones who ***** about who is greater than who and is should be ranked higher.....boxers dont speak on that....they go out ...fight and make money

    I am not a fan boy..i am a fan of boxing, but the fact is that people hate on mayweather for NOT doing things that other fighters havent even done

    I said if I was floyd I woulds have took all those fights to make more money since he is the alltime greatest. Of course Arum said that, it's called promoting a fighter. But thats for the fans to decided and Floyd is no were close to SRR, SRL ,A ND EVEN THOUGH i HATE TO SAY THIS BUT IF pAC CONTINUES TO DO WHAT HE IS DOING HE WILL PASS Floyd. Also belts dont mean **** now in days

    If Cotto beats Margarito, he comes back to fight Cotto.

    If Margarito wins, he doesn't come back at all, not a glamorous enough proposition for PBF.

    And there is no-one else out there who could bring him back.

    To be honest though, I think boxing is better off without him. Leave fighting to the fighters, leave prancing around at WrestleMania to the shitbags.

    Floyd ****ed when he said he was greater than Sugar Ray Robinson. If Tiger Woods walks out of your fight, when you particapate is the most boring sport in the world in golf. U have a problem
