Hearing Haymon has reached out to Miguel Cotto's attorney talking rematch. And we all thought Floyd-Manny was being negotiated! SMH! #boxing
I hope this fight happens in may..this is the fight that will define floyd's legacy as TBE.. taking cotto's WBC/Ring title at 160 would place floyd in a class all by himself..
no fighter in history has won 6 WBC titles in 6 weight classes and no fighter has won 5 lineal titles! floyd should make pac wait till september or even make him wait till he is 49-0 then the pac fight will mean something..right now cotto is the fight that I want to see.
Pac should be option #1, no Bob excuses. Cotto at 160 is still a fight I like, however and I would be surprised if Floyd took it, just cause he's usually quite cautious, he didn't even fight Canelo at 154. So absolutely, if negotiations with Pac fall apart for a legitimate reason, I think this is a good fight.
It's obvious floyd doesn't want to fight manny if he is trying to make a deal with cotto instead of manny
too bad cotto has a network contract with hbo...
No one should get upset or surprised at this. You keep reading all that sh*t about Arum, CBS, UAE, etc. Someone even said CBS will force Floyd to fight Pacquiao because they pay him. Lol.
The truth is, and has always been, that as long as Pacquiao is with Arum the fight won't happen. Mayweather and Haymon calls the shots for who they fight, and that's final. If you don't read any news from Floyd himself then it's false. It used to be Floyd Jr and Schaefer, but now it's only Floyd. It could be Haymon as well, but he doesn't talk to reporters/journalists apparently.
Fight happens if Arum steps away or dies. Or Pacquiao miraculously leaves Arum.
Do you enjoy being face down with your ass up?
Floyd says it and you idiots just follow suit. How bout...I'll ease into this because I think it'll sound f*cking crazy to you at first, but how bout you remove the d1ck - I know, I know, you think it's in too deep, but what goes in, must come out...so push forward into chaturanga pose removing all 5 inches of Floyd and turn to that bitterly confused face of his and just tell him, through all your burning regret, to #fightpacquiao.
Or you can take this with you and every time someone mentions Pacquiao. you can reassure yourself.

What would this fight add to Floyd's legacy?
Nothing.
Been there, done that.
Grow a pair and fight Pacquiao.
We all have been asking for that for how long now?
As for Cotto this is a good business because win or loose he can still fight Canelo after.
IF he beats Floyd then a Trilogy is in order.
IF he fights Canelo first and turns out he puts a beating on Canelo, Floyd will not fight him at all.(Like he did when he beat Shane)
If he fights Canelo and gets beat up, Floyd will not fight him at all.
Another Cotto win adds eye candy but no substance to Floyd's resume
Taking a lineal/world title at face value is a narrow-minded approach to analysis
You can purport Floyd to be TBE all you like, but using a potential lineal MW title to justify it is just absurd. It's who he beats to gain that title is what matters. Fighting Cotto again, probably at 1lb higher than the last fight, is not impressive at all.
stop lumping me in with you and your sycophants. I don't care if he fights pac because pac only has a wbo title..cotto has the WBc and ring title in a new wieght class in a fight floyd can win..ppac isnt going anywhere.
I tried too tell you last week that nobody gives a damn about another Floyd rematch. I hope this thread confirms that for you
cotto ha looked dominant again i think this fight would be very tough for either guy..
Good idea! then Floyd can sign to TR as he is starting to recycle opponents. Or is that acceptable now. If Castillo gets past Prov you can then support a 3rd fight to cement Floyd's legacy to the ages.
The Midget Ticklers Forever
he still ducked pac when he was #1 p4p @ 147 for YEARS!! pac is moving back down because floyd still wont agree to fight him.
if floyd is going to hold belts at 154 & 160 he BETTER fight GGG or it will only make his reputation worse!
lol he better..why dont you make him tough guy lmao
