I have ordered every Floyd fight since Baldomir, but I will not be ordering this one. I ponnied up for Mayweather vs Ortiz, Mayweather vs Marquez, but I am not buying another egregious mismatch.
It will be a rainy day in hell before I buy into this missmatch. Its honestly like if they put Donaire vs Arce on PPV...
The fight is a joke, it has ZERO chance of being even remotely competitive.
The only way I could be convinced to buy this is if Donaire vs Rigondeaux was in the Co-main slot.
We as a community need to speak with our wallets and let HBO, Golden Boy, and Al Haymon know that we will not stand by and be ripped off any more.
That fight didnt get you to stop?
very good fighter. good skills, decent power, average chin, poor stamina and a bit lazy if you ask me. he should still be fighting at 147, but i guess he likes his mams cooking too much. not a HOF fighter imo.
I have a lot of respect for Miguel cotto, one of my favorites and I would rank him high in Puert Rican Boxing...
I also always felt he gased to soon on many occations and he did seem better at 140,,,
His life and Career has been too hecktic for a pro;
--Issues with his uncle (never really figured that one out)
--Marital issues(Probably let the fame get to his head early)
--I also believe he was not very happy with Arum at the height of his game
--His team said they needed to go to 147 cause 140 was too difficult to make
--Legit or not; the Tony fight took a lot from him (i believe)
--The new trainer seemed like more of a novelty than real progress
When he started I saw him at the seland arena and I was impresed by the body work he used to do,,,
Goes down as the only fighter convinced my brothers to root for a PR figher
First of all Cotto was still not the best Cotto when he fought Mayweather. Cotto was like you said beaten bloody by Margacheato. It was also not proven that he (Margacheato) did not use plaster. But somehow since he was caught Cheatos well known power "vanished". Mayweather said you are not the same when you are beaten, ask Hatton. Cotto beat a better Mosley (even if it a close fight) than Mayweather. Mayweather is the smartest fighter on the planet. He knows the right time to choose his opponents. So IF Cotto is not an elite fighter than Mayweather has beaten just a B+ fighter , who caused him some problems. Oh I forgot beating a smaller Marquez and outweighing him , beating a super lightweight Hatton makes you an elite fighter . Which was the fight in your opinion that Cotto should have taken to be considered as an elite fighter ? Mayweather beat Zab Judah and was knocked down by him but that makes Mayweather still an elite fighter right ? But when Cotto beat Judah that gives Cotto nothing but a win. I do not like it if somebody writes so much negative things about Cotto and discredits him.
What the best have done and continue to do is being smart and fight the right fights at the right time and make people believe that they have beaten the best fighter in their primes. What I liked about Cotto was his warrior mentality his toughness his will and his character. Cotto is not the same fighter anymore since the fight with Cheato. He was not smart enough and accepted the conditions for the Pacquiao fight. Floyd would have never do that.
Mayweather for example has skills but nobody gets critics for nothing. As of right know I am not interested in boxing anymore like I was in the past. I did not even watched one 24/7 episode of Pacquiao Marquez and I will probably just look for the result tomorrow. There is a theory, which is called "Game Theory" it says that if two instances are equally strong than none of them would dare to attack each other. Events which prove this theory are the cold war and in boxing it is the Mayweather vs Pacqiao or Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight. But Cotto fought in my opinion anybody in front of him and that made him an elite fighter.
Bien dicho,,,
Elite fighter he was, one of my favorite fights of his was against Lovemore Ndou, you could tell there was something special about the fighter...
Demarco will make if difficult,,, tonight we find out if Adrien can handle the stress of demarco's skill on his great strength: that Broner confidence..............
I agree with you that too much ridiculous criticism is directed at Manny. Respectfully, may I offer a different take.
Manny refused $40 mil to fight floyd because there was no ppv involved. He then tried to lowball MIguel and fight him at another CW. He then completely ignored Bradley and refused to rematch him. Manny ended up taking what he thought was the easy road to a payday and IN A DISPLAY OF SHEER ****ING ARROGANCE, had (or allowed it to appear as if) an April fight already made.
Manny deserves respect for his career achievements without question. But perhaps this was karma. NO more no less.

KHAN WILL NEVER GO AWAY!!
I have figured it out: this guy believes he is so good, that even when he get KOd he believes it to be everyone elses fault,, this will continue for ever...
Mark my words; Even if Garcia Kicks his ass again he will continue to proclaim his destined greatness.
Kahn Honestly believes he has never lost.
first off i'm not trying to discredit anything just staiting facts. marquez was actually slower that first time at WW. why do you think he changed up his camp after for the pac 3 fight, consentrating on SPEED. he even said it in plenty of interviews.
also May didn't struggle to make wieght and actually came in on fight night around 160lb. COME ON MAAAANNN!!!!
read what i wrote i still think May has great skills, he just doesn't test himself is all I'm saying.
Its no use man, this was a bait thread from the beginning. The sport as a whole would have benefited from a fight between pac and may, but what happened was a great fight between JMM and pac, period.
What no one can deny is that Marquez did cost may a big payday and losing money is not one of jr's habits
Floyd would fight him, not go for the ko and that would be Amirs Victorious dillusion, after the fight we will never stop hearing from Amir about how well he did vs Floyd
M You could be right about that. It can also go the other way around. Bradley can use a ton of foot movement not giving JMM a chance to get set to land the bomb.
id be a fool to think these guys are gonna go to a toe to toe war. Bradley dont want that. if Prov made him look drunk and experience will end his night!
I have a feeling Bradley will want to prove he can bang with Marquez, I don't know if its such a bad thing, he's a warrior and it will make for a great fight!
You are right about the ignorance on these threads, I don't rule out any type of cheating cause any time there is big money you can count on man greed. But to my knowledge JMM, Pac, and other fighters being accused of doping have worked hard and have exceptional skills that only come about though real WORK. Those who have admitted or been caught cheating are nowhere to be seen because at the end of the day boxing is about skills.
actually i have probably the best coach in town and he doesnt have limited experience, he has around 125 fights with over 100 wins and made the olympics but broke his hand and coudlnt box in it.
Great job man!!! If you are actually consciously adjusting your style to improve yourself in an actual bout then you are on the right track, control of your instincts and applying the technique you work on is what you should be doing.
True Khan fans are the most loyal optimistic fans in the world of boxing.No matter how many times Khan gets KOed, loses or looks bad they still believe he is the best fighter in the world. Four guys on here now think he will do what no other fighter has come close to doing. They believe he will knock Mayweather out.He just barely beat a journeyman fighter Diaz in England with the help of the English referee at 143 in his last fight but now in his next fight he is going to KO the best fighter in the world. I don't think so. I think Mayweather will win every round and knocks Khan out in 5 rounds or less.
Truth!
I believe Mayweather carries khan in to the late rounds to make it interesting, then announces his hand broke and that's why he didn't stop him. Then kahn's fans say kahn is greater than Hatton! ahaha
Fight will not happen
looking forward to a Cotto rematch!
I would honestly hate Salido for the rest of my life if he loses to this flaming faggot.
If Salido loses to the first openly gay boxer who happens to be Boriqua does it take away from all past Mexican victories?
Anyhow; I will be happy for Cruz if he wins the title, Making History!
Rigo is nowhere near as complete as Floyd and thats not even including the pro experience. Floyd figures him out after 4 rounds and never looks back
Agreed, in this fight mayweather may adjust I'm getting aggressive and actually make it exciting
Floyd Mayweather Jr winning and retiring undefeated is good for boxing in the long run because all young fighters should aim to learn his style and then we will not have as much brain damage.
Referees should stop the fight if a fighter goes down from a head shot.
Disappears for two years after losing to clubfighter Jesse Brinkley and now he is an aggressive puncher.
Watch his fight with Dirrell, it is literally one of the worst fights of all time.
Golovkin better make sure he asks for Olympic drug testing.
Nahhhh, saul has a very lazy posture and stevens found the opening 2 times, watch it a again.
