Or am I wrong?

sorry, quoted the wrong post.

that's the one! I remember Harris talking smack at the weigh in I think it was, and/or a press conference just before the fight.

Here is another one I can't remember at all and it's kind of obscure. Can't think of the fighters name but he had a fight, won it and after the fight while still in the ring he got the mic and called out James Toney, said he'd fight him right now. Toney was there and got into the ring and they were about to fight before it got broken up. If I'm not mistaken that fighter lost his next fight thus never fought Toney. Who am I thinking of?

that was the speculation but as far as I know there were never serious talks between canelo and cotto. It was assumed they'd fight because it would be the best money fight at 154 minus floyd.

but yeah, not a tune up as Trout was a champion.
