Mayweather is a clown. He left boxing so that he wouldn't have to lose. He prices himself out of logical fights that he could potentially lose. He talks all this junk from the safety of his bank account. Meanwhile, the real champions and pound for pound kings are mixing it up and taking risks. He's living up to his moniker, Fraud Mayweather. I wish these discussions would end, because Floyd is a punk. He retired when there were no more options left but world beaters. What a fagg.

Anything that makes your wraps 'harder' is and should be illegal. What constitutes plaster of paris? Who knows. But if you can put a paste on handwrap fabric that makes it stiffen up, that sounds enough like plaster to call it plaster. And I can't imagine somebody wrapping my hands with something like that and me being 100% unaware of it. They tried to cheat a little bit, and got caught. If it looks and walks like a duck, it's a duck. Even if it's a small duck, or some hybrid of a duck and a chicken. Once I hear it quack, I'm gonna call it a duck. And suspend it for a year.

Berto is shaping up to be an incredible fighter, but he isn't ready for Cotto. Considering that he doesn't have the size and strength to 'beat down' Miguel Cotto, he'd be in for a what would probably turn into a lopsided pummelling. I think he can still establish a great reputation and rack up some legit wins without having to step to Cotto or Mosley for that matter.

If everybody is disrespecting Floyd, interrupting his interviews, saying mean things about them- hey, beat them up!! It's simple. If Shane disrespected you, call him out- and punch him in the face. Do like Manny does- and fight these guys.

If Manny had agreed to the tests, Floyd would have found some other 'above & beyond' requirement. Truth is, Manny SHOULDN'T have to bend over and let Floyd stick a thermometer up his butt, because it's excessive. For Floyd to make all these demands indicates that the current authorities who do the standard tests are incompetent. Manny agreed to doing several tests, and they should have been enough. But if he'd agreed to do a blood test every day, Floyd would have increased his demands, until they were just enough to kill the fight. He is a coward.

Floyd is chicken. This confirms it. If he was everything he says he is, he'd fight the man in front of him. Floyd is being exposed as a chump, and he's just confirming it. Good stuff. Shane doesn't need Floyd. He's already beaten him, because when you call a dude out, tell him you'll whoop him, step in the ring with him and dress him down- and he doesn't fight you back, that's a 'W' all by itself. Move on Shane, he don't want none.

Berto/Bradley is probably the best fight to be made right now. Bradley would serve as a tune up fight for Pacquiao. Be realistic. Berto/Bradley is a great B+ boxing matchup for boxing fans. Neither are on Manny Pacquiao or Floyd May******'s level.

Floyd is scared to death of Manny Pacquiao, and for good reason. He would have been dismantled, in short order. This is the best outcome for Floyd. Let him go on and handpick some other B- fighter he can whoop. He dodged a lightening bolt this time. LOL! Manny would have banged that little dude out quicker than he did Hatton. At least Hatton is kind of tough. Floyd is just pretty, and fast. But you gotta be a little more than pretty and fast. Good move Floyd.

Booooooring. Shannon is just the next in a long line of boring, tattooing title defenses for the indistinguishable, boring (but talented) Klitchkos. Shannon will plod and plod- wishing he could swing but scared to death to. And by round 4, his face will be a red, swollen mess. Either it will go the distance with Briggs absorbing a ridiculous amount of punishment, or the ref will stop it mercifully. That, or Vitali decides to put him away. But nothing about this fight is competitive. Nothing about any fight involving either Klitchko is. MAYBE David Haye, but probably not. I only say that because he's athletic. Not many other heavyweights are. But Haye will probably be shut down too. That killer ridiculous jab that both of these guys have make a lot of hopes and dreams go away. Guys always come in thinking about what they're going to do TO the Klitchkos, and all that goes out the window ones their dental work has been reorganized. It's sad really. Boxing sucks.

A decision on Miguel Cotto's June 13 opponent may be decided in the next week. The fight should take place at New York's Madison Square Garden on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade. According to Cotto's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank, three options will be presented to Cotto, which include unbeaten WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto, IBF champion Joshua Clottey and former champion Kermit Cintron. The final decision will be up to Cotto. details]
The best fight for Cotto is Mosley/Cotto 2. Followed by Clottey. I say that because for one, Mosley gave Cotto the toughest fight of his life, prior to the uncanny beatdown by Margarito. To me it's blatent self-preservation not to mention Mosley's name, considering he's a belt holder, and Cotto's win wasn't a handsdown, all out aszwhoopin. It was a situation where someone had to win that fight, and Cotto did a little better work. I can SO see that fight going the exact opposite way, and I believe so can Cotto's camp. Which is why they've only named fighters that look good for Cotto on paper. Guys he can breakdown. Clottey being a big 'if', but if I'm Cotto, and I'm in comeback mode, the last thing I want to do is get back in with Mosley, who almost beat me last year, who just finished knocking out the guy who knocked ME out. No sir. Give me Clottey. Give me CINTRON (??). Give me liberty or give me death. But whatever you do, keep that fool Shane Mosley away from me. At least for right now.
