Cotto was just jealous. He's a very good boxer himself, but him saying Floyd shouldn't be in race for P4P is absolutely asinine.
That actually was THE fight for Floyd before he took his sabbatical. He retired out of necessity because he had either Margarito or Cotto to fight which neither brought him big money. But in retrospect, I think Floyd beating Cotto (which I believe would've happened) would've been a great look on Floyd's resume at that time. But hey...
Ward stepped up and fought the #1 168lber and beat him soundly.
Berto still has holes in his game, and Ward is starting to let his hands go a little, but he also needs to be careful. Kessler missed a good amount of opportunities to counter.
Berto's got his version of Ward's shot in January against Mosley. Let's see how he responds.
LOL sounds a little like BS
If that were to happen these days, that same kid would've come back with a revolver and taken Floyd, his friends, his girl, and himself out.
Sad, but true...
hes flashy hes dashy hes got money. why wouldnt women want him
At least you're being a gentleman a giving the ladies hints and a head start in front of you :fing02:
I WAS THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS SITE WHO THOUGHT pAUL WOULD WIN?
The fukk you on.
So because I get predictions wrong like EVERY person on this site. I shouldnt come on the site? Fukk off boy.
No, it's because you hyped up Williams like he was Jesus Christ's 2nd coming, and he got KTFO horribly, which made Sportscenter (also a first for Williams). :biggthump
I think you just hate Pacquiao off GP. People never fathomed the idea of Pacquiao fighting guys like Cotto and Margarito two years ago, yet...now him not fighting Martinez (a full fledged Middleweight) makes him a disgrace?
LOL ok...just like Paul Williams is the most avoided fighter. :biggthump
Dude arent you a Cotto fan? He got Kncoked out twice. Get over yourself.
LMAO wtf are you talkin about??? I won $200 on Margarito beating Cotto! I got love for Cotto, but I'm an equal opportunist lol. I left my fanboy days behind a while ago.
They should and to be honest it's really not a bad thing to be more beloved than to be more interesting
who would you rather be Anne Hathaway or Lindsay Lohan in terms of career?
LOL good analogy.
How do you guys sit back and watch Team Roach handpick all of your once proud warriors for Pac to run through? How many more Mexicans are going to sign the weight drain no OST contract then show up on fight night with that zombie look in the eyes? For a culture and people so prideful of their boxing heritage Team Roach and Arum have made a mockery out of you.
Though some like to point out Clottey is African not Mexican, truth Is he held his own and was not nearly the victim Mexicans/Hispanics and Hatton have been. If anything he let himself down by not throwing punches, Pac really could do nothing with him. But back to the point, Mexicans have always been proud fighters but how do you maintain respect when the boxing world has developed an industry aimed at feeding Pac Mexican food? Does it suck to gather each year to watch Pac embarass your best fighters?
During the days of Chavez Mexicans wouldn't have stood for this kind of sh-t, people respected Mexicans fighters then, now Mexican warrior is synonymous with Pac meat.
Mexicans sign contracts to fight.
I like OST head movement, jab, and counter punching ability to overcome Pacquiao's speed. Is Manny up for the test? Sorry I couldn't resist:lol1::lol1::lol1:
Who's gonna be conducting the tests for that fight? Bela Lugosi?

Pacquiao is knocking around full fledged Welterweights and he himself is a small Welterweight with Welterweight power as it is. JMM doesn't belong anywhere passed 135. He looked sluggish as hell in the Mayweather fight and I see Pacquiao beating Marquez down early. Pacquiao's become much more polished since their last fight and he's gone on to fight more dangerous fighters and prevailed.
Pointless fight.
Love him or hate him, the dude fights any and everyone. Cotto's resume at WW is 2nd to none for current fighters as it stands, and if he goes on to fight Martinez?? Dude is a bad ass.
Nobody is calling him the best boxer alive nor is he recognized as THE #1 guy out there. He gets mostly praised from his style of fighting and that he'll get in the ring with anyone along with his impressive resume. I'd pause as calling him "overrated".
1. Berto's prime isn't really close to the others past prime. Berto may be in his prime but I would venture to say that the versions of fighters Manny faced would beat Berto with the exception of maybe Hatton because he would have to come up to face Berto
2. Martinez is not at prime he has been past it for a minute but his skillset is now more of the focal point for him.
you sound like the new fan who solely focuses on the 0 rather than what the fighter brings. Berto brings a shaky chin, stamina issues, and a rather light punch in addition to his "0"
Manny would gut this kid
Exactly....
Why would either team allow that considering both teams are coming up with strategies for the fight, let alone even cameras not being allowed in both camps during most sparring sessions. Sounds made up to me. Can you imagine Pepper Roach at Floyd's camp scouting? LOL
LOL this was hilarious.

Is he expecting this to happen to Floyd???
noway not even close. hes not more famous than ali foreman tyson mayweather chavez lenord oscar. those guys man ppl mothers and grandmothers know those names. manny is popular in the boxing and sports world. but outside of it not so much. go to a random persons mom or aunt or someone who dont watch boxing and im sure they wont know who manny is. but ask about the other names and they would. but the fact that hes only been growing to that status after the oscar fight is the case too. ali been generating his populairty for decades
Which is really the point at the end of the day. Twenty-thirty years from now, Pacquiao will be in that position while the majority of kids growing up today will ask "Who's Ali?"
Sounds crazy to say now, but it's inevitable.
From what I've noticed, Pacquiao is only known/famouse for a few things...
1. That fighter who refused a drug test.
2. That fighter who won a bunch of titles, and refused a drug test.
3. The LIL Asian fighter that won a bunch of titles, but refused a drug test.
4. The LIL Asian dude who went up all those weight divisions, and in a short period of time and destroyed much bigger guys. But refused a drug test.
5. The guy Mayweather was scared to fight, cause he refused to take a drug test...
The words (Drug Test) will be Mannys *, until ofcourse he takes the test (And performs at the same level)...
