    that would have been far far more entertaining than a floyd fight.

    You already know the answer to this.

    He's trying to capitalize on all the money he can making fighting Mayweather - cause it's far more money than a Cotto fight.

    I'm wondering who's going to be the final opponent he's suppose to fight at the end of the year. :huh

    Because there is less risk fighting Mayweather. Oscar is a year older now, and has never liked it to the body. Mayweather may outpoint him and clown him, but Cotto could hurt him.

    If Floyd loses yes but you are inclining that he would take a dive.

    Haven't met anyone on her like Capsfund - he can make you mad and make you laugh - while agruing about something you agree with.

    But a third fight will only happen if he wins impressively - which most of us don't see happening.

    Maybe Tito?

    The ref won't let him wear a cup that stops right below his nipples. That's why.

    capsfund made a post about 2 weeks ago, about who should Floyd Mayweather fight. 3 Options, Cotto, Williams, DLH.

    Cotto got like 60 votes, Williams got like 6, DLH got 1.

    He tries to bump the post but no cared anymore. he then remakes nearly the SAME TOPIC and complains about how everyone is saying it's okay for Floyd to fight DLH it's what the Floyd huggers wanted. When clearly, it showed even the big Floyd fans voted for Cotto in his previous poll.

    Clearly, no one wants to see DLH-Floyd but it's money. Floyd beat Cotto to the money simple.
