80% of the time I read a post by a poster loving Cotto they are posting ignorant posts bashing PBF! Why?
You can say the same about Floyd fan always bashing Cotto just to make Floyd look better.
Funny how he made the excuse that he wont fight Cotto cause of Arum, but isn't putting that excuse now, because he willing to fight Pacquiao despite both having the same promoter. And you got to understand that Pacquiao lives in the Filipines which is way further than Puerto Rico.lol
I just think that everyone here on this site doesn't give JMM enough credit he deserves.
I would give him a chance at 135 just a chance, but we're talking about a fighter that started out at 124 and has only recently gone up to 130 and 135 pounds. Does this mean fighters dont have a weight limit to be successful?
If he though he could compete at 147 he would go up to that weight and challenge a Cotto, Mosley and make a whole lots of Money and try to win a title.
He's taking this fight just like many others fighters that take fights they might lose, because they have nothing to lose and all to gain.
Juan Manuel Marquez wont be half the fighter he was at 130. This is a joke fight that shouldn't give Mayweather any credit. Juan Manuel Marquez cant beat anyone at welterweight. He will go down in weight afterwards because he's in it just for the money.
If JMM and Mayweather were fighting at 130 then JMM would've won.
what he did at 130 n 135 was great. he's already a hall of famer & a top 50 ATG. What has he done at 140,147,154? Not nearly as much, so yes the tail end of his career doesnt quite stack up to the early years. Other than financially ofcourse.
Even in the lower weights he never fought a Joel Casamayor a Kostya Tszyu, Acelino Freitas he never beat a true legend in those divisions. He kept going up in weight and refusing to fight the real best fighters from his weight class.
and they say Mayweather boxings beautifully. He sucks He' runs all the time. He's very overated.
Yeah if floyd comes back is just cause he saw an oppnening to fight smaller fighters like Marguez and Pacquiao. He wants nothing to do with Mosley, Cotto, Berto or any of the real big boys.
Neither fight is competitive because Floyd destroys both. But Marquez is the fairer fight because he and Floyd are the same size, while Spinks is way bigger than Floyd.
Thats too bad. Judah was able to beat him, but floyd can't? Or does weight really matter to Floyd?
Manny Pacquiao is also a small guy that started fighting at 107. If he wants a tune up he should fight a welterweight, but he's just happy of making the weight to ask smaller guys to come-up and never fight a true welterweight. It a tactic he uses to avoid fighters being at their best.
This is not a strong welterweight division, especially now that paul williams left it has
Mosley (great but old as hills),
Cotto and
Margarito (at least one of which -depending on wether you want to think Tony was cheating against Cotto or not- is not that special),
Berto (largely unproven),
then the rest (among which I like Clottey)...
compare to 10 years ago
De La Hoya, Trinidad, Whitaker, Quartey, then the next crop... Mosley, Forrest, Mayorga. This is nothing like that and it's not sensibly better than the one in which Mayorga, Spinks and Judah were dwelling in. Plaster or non-plaster.
Again, I am not interested in talking about Mayweather, I am talking about Zab Judah.
So why doesn't he fight them then? He fought Carlos Manuel Baldomir
Sharmba Mitchell Zab Judah. He fights the ones that are much worst.
But yeah lets talk Judah who lost to Baldomire than after losing Mayweather finally accepted to fight him.
I don't believe that. I think these are just negotiation tactics, but im not certain. It doesn't matter if they are tactics because Floyd wont be getting more money than Pacquiao. Perhaps 50/50 split.
Someone should get him another women. He needs to cool down. I bet his women ain't getting any from him. Its just hard to believe how powerful Pac can be. Better call Ms. Pacman because this guy is only eating the energy ball. If this is true Cotto will be looking blue during fight night.
Floyd Mayweather beating up a an over weight JMM is like beating a average fighter. The guy is already old and slow. They should never mention JMM name as any of his great victories. The guy is the biggest bitch in boxing and is a complete disgrace. He's a phony thats been sitting on 145 for a while now, but has rejected to fight any top rank fighter.
He fought an old De La hoya and still came out of weight to run from him. An old Gatti and A Battered Sharmba Mitchell a Carlos Manuel Baldomir that came from the land of the lost. An asked Ricky Hatton to do the thing he wants JMM Marguez to do. Mayweather is a disgrace to boxing and the farthest thing in boxing from a true warrior.
He's give a bad name to American boxers like Holyfield, Hearns, Ali, etc.
