    everyone sleeps on berto vs cotto... that would be a muther****ing amazing fight


    berto has blazing hand speed and has variety that cotto could struggle with
    and
    cotto is grade a fighter....

    thats one of my favorite fights that has yet to be made or spoken about

    Care to explain how things were stacked in his favor going in against DLH?

    Do you even know what that contract had in it?

    Idiot.

    So you don't like to see your boxer against the best?
    All these Floyd lovers just have excuse after excuse, I would think they themselves would like to see their fighter fight the best, since he would still be a favorite to win

    Find me one line where I say I don't want to see these guys fight the best. My opinion doesn't matter, I'm just telling idiots like you who don't know jack**** and are cabdrivers at best how things work in this sport.

    It's not like WWE or UFC, people don't yell in the streets to get fights signed. There's a process and a very long one that is all about MONEY. They don't call and discuss glory into making fights.

    Glory might be keeping you starving in your studio apartment, it might be feeding you for all I care but it doesn't pay the bills of these guys who put their lives on the line going in the ring.

    Speaking of the "best", both Cotto and Hatton turned down the "best" at 140 when they ditched Mayweather, right?

    Didn't Mayweather's move to welterweight have the intention of fighting the "best" and that was unified undisputed champipn Zab Judah BEFORE losing to Baldomir?. You know the fight was signed and date was announced BEFORE Zab fought Baldomir and lost, right?. Or was WBOgus paper champion Antonio "Tijuana can" Margarito the best for fighting and beating Andrew "Six Heads Zero Chins" Lewis?

    How about for slicing Hercules Lujan or whatever that other tomato can's name is ears. Margarito actually jabbed that guy's ears off, yes, the same Margarito who offers his face wide open for any punch from any angle everytime he tries to throw a three punch zombie speed combination. Yes, that was the "best" back then? :rofl

    They are trailer park fans and I don't give a damn if they're white black or whatever. White people aren't the only ones living in trailer parks as far as I know.

    The majority are trailer park fans, it doesn't take brains to see it. Even Arum his self admitted and he promotes the guy.

    I wouldn't say Cotto is a grade A fighter, his defense isn't good enough to put him there.

    Because they get the big Ls on their record and fade into obscurity, then the promotors dont make any money...

    "Boxing is a business" ever heard that before?

    Because they might lose and that would affect their future earning power. The modern system of dozens of belts and superfluous weight division allows them to pick and choose opponents who sometimes look like good matchups on paper. There's nothing that can be done about it until we have one sanctioning body-which I don't believe will ever happen, boxing will disappear before that happens.

    Wrong again. Arum said that MMA fans were skinheads. He was most likely drunk or hopped up on prescription medication at the time...but he said those fans were ones that tended to identify with Pavilk. He didn't say anything about trailer park fans.

    hopefully we'll see floyd vs cotto if cotto gets by pac ( i think it will be up to floyd)

    berto vs cotto (berto isnt the "best" yet despite having a belt)

    mosley vs paul should be possible

    pavlik vs AA would be a war i think
