Im a huge Floyd fan... I see his talent and its unbelievable...
But honestly.. I dont want another Oscar rematch... its bullshit... fight the best or dont fight...
Its so irritating for me, because i see how TALENTED this man is, inside the ring... but he really wont fight any of the threats in his weight class...
I think he could beat Cotto... but the point is moot if he wont fight him...
I am a LITTLE torn though.. because i dont think Oscar SUCKS as much as he is depicted in this forum... he is the only fighter to give Floyd his closest fight on the scorecards to date... But I for one, didnt think it was even close to a split decision...
Conclusion: Fight the best, Or dont fight at all...
Floyd said on numerous occasion that he's not fighting to prove who's the best...b/c in his eyes he already is thet best & we should already know!
Floyd's new moniker describes his mentality perfectly...MONEY...show him the moolah & he will follow, it's actually starting to get sad now, b/c he's wasting his talent & prime yrs just looking for the big payday! If he really is the STAR he thinks he is then he shouldn't have to "piggy back" off the big names (oscar, hatton...again) to get some good ppv numbers... Floyd is really insecure & thinks making it rain & his undefeated record will make people like him & respect him, but by not acknowledging the fans who are SCREAMING for him to fight the best opposition available & leave all this other B-S (that can damage him) alone, he is losing respect in the boxing community & people are starting to see him as a "Fraud"!
It's a damn shame our ambassador and consensus #1 fighter would rather Make it rain & wrestle than to PROVE who the best is...because talking about it, aint going to get it!... Floyd is still my fav fighter, but I'm just being REAL...
I never really cared about Floyd, and actually kind of LIKED him after he wore that sombrero and mexican garb to the ring against Oscar which I thought was hilarious. However, events since then and some after-the-fact study show that he is a bitch. Also, his hype that is bought hook, line, and sinker buy his nuthugging fans is just TOO much to bear.
i want to see him fight cotto but u cant blame him for going for mo money. he has fought many good fighters to prove himself so i aint mad. but he should give the fans the fight they want at some stage.
Yeah I'm getting tired of it. He needs to hurry up and fight Cotto. If he was fighting someone other than DLH(like Quintana or a top ranked welter) I'd be cool with it. He should give Miguel a fight late 2008 in Vegas.
I think Floyd will win for sure but he won't win untouched. Cotto may put some work in on his body. Cotto can make it a somewhat rough fight.
YOU KNOW CRAP ABOUT PR and fans in PR. you say the most reeDICKyaluss things.....:cop:
well he just told me the scoop... IDIOT
i wasnt the one sayin it!!!!!!!!
This recent little squabble with Roger over training Forbes really annoyed me, as it comes on top of everything else he has done recently which disrespects the sport. None of this would matter if Mayweather were not making grandiose claims about his legacy already; the fact is it could still be solidified and live up to some of his claims while he is in his prime rather than squandered away for money (which should irk any fan).
Any fan of Floyd who wants to see him really fight was rooting for Forbes against DLH, but it seems clear now that if Forbes wins, Mayweather will likely lengthen his "retirement" out of spite at losing the big money. It's a lose-lose situation.
Theres more than 6 million people in britain. period.
and all those people in P.R. arent boxing fans believe it or not
or when cotto fights mosley, there woulnt of been 350k PPV buys... there would of been 7 million............................
...peolpe stream it on line and don't buy it!!!!
I agree...
so it really comes down to who is floyd facing?
who and how much will his opponent bring in
cotto vs oscar?
id take oscar 7 days a week and twice on sunday when it comes to a popularity and cashcow contest
Of course.. But Floyd VS Cotto would definately be his Biggest PPV not against DLH or Hatton...
I do he thinks he owes us Hardcore Fans a "lower" profile match :lol1:
