    STFU. I love how everyone who takes a job with Golden Boy and makes a little coin while looking out for their career after boxing is a ¨puppet¨.

    And at the same time, Mayweather fans justify ANYTHING Floyd does by saying its all about the money, blah, blah, blah.

    Why do you give a **** if they take a job to continue to provide for themselves and their families? :deal

    its borderline absurd to say Hatton is the bigger threat at WW than Shane and Cotto.

    You said Mosely is a puppet for taking a job with GBP. Your attacking his charachter when the man is continuing to work to make a living, and based on what?

    I remember before the Williams/Margarito fight Arum mentioning Williams, Mosely, Cintron, and Clottey as potential opponents if Margo lost but never Floyd. I really don't see why Floyd shouldv'e waited to see if Margo won to start negotiating with Hatton when it didn't seem like Arum had any interest in matching Cotto with Floyd.

    It was in talks, don't think otherwise. Don't be suprised if GBP planned what is now happening.

    PBF was just dissing SSM like he has Hatton. Turns out he is fighting Ricky and not Mosley.

    Truth is he offered Mosley out in Nov and Feb. Mosley didn't want it then though he said he'd fight Margo for 8 mil in Nov and then fought Collazo in Feb.

    No ducking, just a touch of avoiding and circumstances not coming together...

    ...YET!

    When Cotto and Hatton bunny **** them, they will need comeback fights :)

    If Arum was willing to put his boy in with AM and Shane - Im sure he would put him in with FMJ.

    nope and Aurum knows what he is doing......Cotto is not ready for a mayweather and neither is hatton...the only fighter to pose a threat would be SSM.....Cotto and Hatton both pose good fights and similar threats...but cant and never will outbox PBF which is exactly what he will do......beat them to the punch in the middle of the ring and he wins easily call it running or whatever you anti-floyd people wanna call it but doesnt lose to cotto nor hatton.

    How come he never mentioned him as an opponent then? I mean let's be real, Floyd and Arum are not on good terms(When Arum and Oscar were beefing it, Shane was never mentioned as an opponent). I'm not sure he's going to be willing to put his prized fighter in their with a guy as good as Floyd, especially seeing as how they don't get along. Shane is a good fighter, but he's 36 and is not as good as Floyd. Margarito does not pose the same problems as Floyd, and is also promoted by Arum(making the fight easier to make). Floyd has certainly not made an effort to fight Cotto lately, but Arum, Cotto, nor his handlers have made any effort to fight Floyd.

    Fair enough, Arum has been known to pamper Cotto. . . but to me Shane and FLoyd are about equal in terms of threat to Cotto . .. beating Floyd give you more upside so Id rather make that fight.

    I don't know if Floyd and Shane are equal threats to Cotto. However, I will be much more confident in Cotto's ability to compete with Floyd if he beats Shane decisively. I will be upset if Cotto wins, and a Floyd/Cotto match isn't made.
