If Flyod fights De La Hoya again will Flyod fans finally wake up and see he is handpicking opponents he can beat and has already beat what does beating De La Hoya now prove? He has already did it once in an average fight at best and I just don't think it makes any sense besides money and its already established he don't need money so fight a real CONTENDER!!!! If this fight happens every "REAL" boxing fan should boycott the fight and have it do HORRIBLE numbers and not buy into all the hype!!!!
Floyd already promised DLH a rematch if he wanted one even before he fought him. This however doesn't make this fight less unsignificant, I do agree with you on that
Has anyone thought of the idea that it could be Oscar pushing for this fight? Maybe he feels he could win then he would fight Cotto. This isnt just about Floyd, Oscar probobly has his own plans too.
I think you just proved the point. He is handpicking his opponent. Nobody is saying Floyd is stupid for fighting Oscar again, but you can't say he is doing what is best for his legacy if he wants to be known as one of the greatest ever. He is already a very wealthy man. Who needs to see a DLH rematch?
im also in favor of a BOYcott of Floyd-Oscar
FLOYDCOTT anything but FLOYDCOTTO )
How would he be handpicking his opponents if he chooses to face Oscar again? Who's gonna give Floyd a bigger payday than Oscar?

he's fighting Gomez but it's ok nobody has a problem with it, and if floyd fights Oscar again everybody takes shots at floyd:ugh:
That's b/c Cotto is fighting to stay active b/c noone will get into the ring with him, Floyd is dodging him left and right. Floyd obviously gets to pick his fights and he picks an aged fighter he's already beat (DLH), while Cotto just fights the people that are available. It's already been said by Cottoa and Arum that he wants Floyd next, so now it's up to Floyd to make the fight happen not Cotto!!!!
True that but that has nothing to do with what I said. He just beat the semi-retired fighter already. Oscar's lucky he didn't get stopped...and I'm supposed to accept this one because if it makes money, it makes sense? Fukk that, I love Floyd but I'm a fan of the sport FIRST. I've noticed not too many people on this site are...
The thing is Cotto is supposed to be fighting Gomez next like Dorian just said so the fight would have to wait.
Hey, I'd like to see Mayweather-Cotto just as much as the next person, but if it makes money it makes sense.

I hear you. Makes sense for Floyd. But as a boxing fan, are you pleased?

When will some people realize unless its a mandatory order by whatever belt commission all fight are basically hand picked. The shit is not and never has been rocket science.
It's already been established Floyd fights for the money. He was going to fight Tito at 160 just for the dough. I don't think it has much to do with the competition as it does with the multi-millions he would make fighting Oscar.
