Floyd's main reason for always DUCKING Cotto was I DONT MAKE BUSSINESS WITH BOB ARUM and now he's obviously trying to use his name to screw Cotto's chance of reigning supreme in the P4P peak he's not fooling anybody with that "i want to fight a tuneup in hbo crap" because all he wants is to cash in on the pac-hatton winner and Cotto deserves it more than him. obviously all he's doing is picking on the easy wins ( pac-marquez at WW) and then retiring and OH not fighting Cotto. im going ( as should all boxing fans ) be pissed off if he does bussiness with Arum to fight pac at ww and totaly blow cotto off when that's the fight that all true boxing fans and the sport needs. we need to know if floyd's really an atg by beating a REAL WW. Why ducking margarito cotto mosley all these years?

neither floyd nor cotto should be fighting the winner of hatton/pac
Oh, and I almost forgot, Floyd has a chance of fighting them BOTH lol. He could comeback and beat Pac if say Pac beats Hatton, then turn around and hype up a rematch for Hatton, THEN go to the UK for another sickening fortune. Who knows, the promoters are in this game for one thing...
Well i agree a little..i cant sit here and(without knowing Mayweather in person) judge his financial status because of 7Mill he owes the IRS..Is Pacquiao the bigger dra right now? Absolutely not. Rematch with Ricky Hatton in Wimbledon Stadium with 100,000 Brits is way more money than Pacman and Cacoroach would bring to the table..When Hatto/Pacman looked to be completely off..Mayweather was "listening to offers" Ricky Hattons people reached out to Floyds people and Floyds people rejected..Now why in ur right minds would u turn down ricky haton(when u r floyd) and ur boxing mentality is suppobly "Low-Risk, High Reward"? why would turn down a man with so much pulling power that u already KO'd?
Pacman IS the draw wherever he goes. Hatton is only a draw in the UK. Big difference. I completely agree that if Mayweather went to England for a rematch, it would do box office numbers. But we all know that will NEVER happen. Now, you pit the (in most minds, still #1 P4P fighter) with the current P4P champ alongside a 24/7, etc. etc. - you have a monster fight on your hands. Not ODLH monster, but not far from it either. Also, if Pac beats Hatton, which I don't think he will, it's still gravy for Floyd because EITHER one of those guys, makes him multi millions. I just think the Pac fight is more alluring to sell given he already KO'd Hatton and Pac is SO popular.
notice how noone can reply to this because they know it is true
notice how no one answered my post either....
"lets just forget about it, we know why floyd is coming back. to fight the lightweights(pac and marquez), avoid the top welterweights, get paid, get the IRS off his back and retire again. no need to continue wanting floyd to fight a top ww cuz he wont do it. would've, could've, but wont"
Cotto deserves a shot because he beat Gomez, Jennings and because he quit!
and he fought mosley( a better win than any in floyd's career lol), margarito(floyd lied to his face and said he would fight him, but never did and ducked him, mosley, and cotto), destroyed judah(floyd only decisioned him).
notice how noone can reply to this because they know it is true
I basically said the same thing in that the events that have unfolded in Cotto's career, would the fight even be a draw anymore. I don't think it is. I don't think he deserves a shot in the least. (Now)
ok but what do you make of him wanting to make biz with arum for pac and not cotto when everyone knows that when pac faces a true WW ( mosley cotto floyd) he's going to get beat becuz none of them are old oscars.
I think yhe Pac fight isnt bad for boxing...For the two best P4P to go at it...Plus I think Cotto after fighting a bum like Jennings needs to fight someone like Mosley or Collety first befor asking for Mayweather....
I disaggre that Floyd is coming back for money only..when u turn down the Goldenboy rematch for about 20 mill(maybe woulda gotten more) ur def not interested in boxing anymore, ur not motivated, he wants ot comeback ecause hes motivated, if he wanted money i think he woulda been talking trash to DLH and desperately pusuing him..If Money was the case..
His financial situation was fine when the ODLH rematch was on the table. His financial situation is anything but fine now-a-days. ODLH is out of the picture, Pac is the next biggest money draw. So yes, it's about money.

hey you stupid ****, stop bringing up comments he made 4 years ago about Cotto, let it go, he hasn't fought sence 2007
The thread starter is just being what he is..a little hater.
make NO mistake vous i think that Floyd has ALL the tools to beat ANY welter but fact is that he takes low risk fights and doesn't put his amazing natural talent to beat the people he HAS to beat. that's going to be the difference in being top 30 ATG or NOT.
lets just forget about it, we know why floyd is coming back. to fight the lightweights(pac and marquez), avoid the top welterweights, get paid, get the IRS off his back and retire again. no need to continue wanting floyd to fight a top ww cuz he wont do it. would've, could've, but wont
Cotto, sad to say, is on the sidelines in this argument. Maybe Floyd SHOULD have fought him. Maybe he would of beaten him, although I HIGHLY doubt it. Cotto's alure in fighting Mayweather has definitely diminished after losing badly to Margs. Now that Shane has KO'd Margs, the only legitimate fight to be made, if we're speaking of active WW's and champion status, is Shane/Floyd. Now, back to reality. Floyd is ONLY coming back for money. Period. Pacman has it, Cotto doesn't. It's as simple as that. The business end of boxing is rearing it's ugly head again and there are plenty more meaningfull fights out there for Floyds legacy, but, again, that's irrelevent in all of this. I'm not even sure, given the time that has passed and the events that have unfolded, if there is still even an interest in a Cotto/Floyd fight. Mayweather beats Cotto so if you're a fan of Cotto, this is the last fight you want to see him in. Although it would be a great oppurtunity for him. Who knows, this is a twisted sport, anything can happen.
How is Floyd ducking Cotto? Maybe Cotto shouldn't of Quit an beaten Marg.
Thats not Floyds fault.
dude margarito's a CHEATER it's been proven and he didnt quit he was just too beat up and it HAD to be stopped. all im saying is that if he chooses to fight pac over cotto he's nothing but a bitch.
How can anyone that fights Pacquiao be a coward....WOw.... there is a word for that....its called stupid!!!!
ok but what do you make of him wanting to make biz with arum for pac and not cotto when everyone knows that when pac faces a true WW ( mosley cotto floyd) he's going to get beat becuz none of them are old oscars.
Cotto has business to take care of. Clottey,rematches with Mosley and Marg.
Floyd is not going to wait a year for Cotto. JMM and Pac are the only fights that make sense right now.
he already beat MOSLEY!! mosleys being a bitch about wanting to fight in west coast when the money is in MGS with COTTO. clottey is a hard fight but clottey doesn't knock anyone out and cotto has proven to know how to box with the best ( BEATING MOSLEY), cotto is NOT fighting margarito. your a fanboy you know im right when i say that floyd is making bussiness with arum about pac and DUCKING cotto.
Cats gotta get over this shit already. Last nite, subject of him comin back came up and it was actually interestin to talk about him, but we've instantly gone back to repetitive threads sayin the same shit over and over. If you're waitin for him to fight a top WW over a fight wit Pac, you're SOL.
