who cares what he makes? In the words of Roger Mayweather "He got that **** in him!". Like a lot of top atheletes, some of whom were also on that list.
Even so. I'd still like to see him whoop floyd's ass. But...... he got that sh-t in him. And he ain't never gonna take those tests. Not after meeting Harry Reid and Obama and u got Uncle Bob talkn' about him being the phillipino president one day.
That's wussup big j, take the damn test, and I want to see floyd get beat up cause he talks too much, but pac is on something. maybe he knows maybe he doesn't. But where i'm from if it looks to good to be true, it probably is. I'm calling for a boycott of the pac-clottey fight, just because him not taking them (random) tests is suspect, then they try to spin it on floyd cause they know his rep and that people don't like him (myself) included.
But, Shane hasn't fought in over a year... You just can't sit on your #1 spot for a whole year Burner... And, really if the rankings go by how they should be Shane should be off the top 10 because he has been inactive for a over a whole year... But, I have no problem with Shane still being on the list since he had a planned fight against Berto that would of been exactly a year later and it wasn't Shane that pulled out. But, the inactivity counts for something also that Pac has a case to be #1. And, on March 13 if Pac wins there really he is #1 since he beat two top 5 WW while Shane was doing nothing...
Because gayfthr and pac don't wanna fight mosley.
I agree, mosley should be #1, seriously. But he beat margarito " El dirty mexicano" without loaded gloves and I hate to go there but..................come on?...........Pac's using.
So your saying that even if Floyd dismantles the "fighter of the decade", "Hero of Asia", "Most popular fighter on the planet" "8 division champ" Manny Pacquiao, that he can't be considered greater than Pacquiao because Mayweather is 2 inches taller?
I'm asking because the guy in this picture below does not look all that much heavier than Pacquiao.

just got here but, i kind of agree w/ grant on this one. yes, floyd would have beaten pac but, his legacy is insignificant. his knock down/ drag 'em out battles are few and far between, his taking on of seemingly insurmountable match-ups....non-existent and oh yes, let's not forget........nobody likes him. floyd's name doesn't ....DOES NOT! belong anywhere near likes of Ali, Frazier, Robinson, Patterson, Walcot, Louis (Joe), Hagler, Hearns, Etc.. The guy is a loud mouth arrogant Hood (b)rat. His uncle is street, His dad, his cousins are street, floyd is a punk. Sh-t! Roy Jones is higher on my list.
Noted, but Marciano was busy geting his face cracked, so that was entertaining in it's own right. The reason he's on so many ATG list's is because he's white, and you know " every time we talk about boxing, the white man got bring up Rocky Marciano!" -Barbershop scene, "Coming to America".
I could care less what floyd gets. But let's face it, Pac's stock dropped after the Marquez fight. AND! The motherfuc-er's trying to act all gangsta n' sh-t saying " I'll take less! Just to make the fight!" Manny needs to sac up! For real!
There is no contract. That's what Cotto is saying. Those f_ckers at the WBC were bs'n around waiting till 1 week before the fight to finally settle on the amount they wanted thinking that they were gonna strong-arm Cotto. Think about it for a second. If there was a contract they would NOT HAVE SAID ANYTHING. They would have fulfilled their end (sanctioning the fight and their champ) then they could sue Cotto for breaching his part of the contract...But...there is no contract.
Maybe this will help....

It's funny how stans conveniently sweep ignorance like the above article under the rug.
50/50 seems fair, but the fact of the matter is that the guy stated that he'd take a smaller purse to fight. Again, I reiterate that 50/50 is alright, but let's not act like the guy didn't backtrack for the 97th time. Mayweather called the guy out at the end of November and that article where guy makes the statement is from December 17th.
Thank you! I want to see Mayweather get beat up as much as the next guy. But (a) Pacquiao cant beat him and (b) these motherfu-kers are back peddling all over the place. Kudos to Uncle Bob on this one, he new Mayweather would never go for for 50/50, he's managed to shift some of the blame off of himself and Top Rank...Fu-kers!
I disagree with you Im Mexican and I would rather see Khan vs Mayweather on CDMA because of the what if factor like what if Khan wins so I've been following him to long just to miss him lose I'm not saying khan can win but WHAT IF HE DOES and I missed it
Ok. I think you are the exception and not the rule but, a valid point nonetheless. However, as it's been said Latinos will flock to Cotto/Canelo over Floyd/anyone-but-Pac. Floyd would have to have an undercard on steroids: garcia/mathysse II, broner/maidana II, and thurman/alexander...damn, I kinda like this! But that's an expensive undercard.
Not buying it. This fight is wack! What happened to "Floyd Mayweather only fights the best"? Ain't nobody try'n to spend no $70 dollars to see Khan get KTFO in the 4th round. We already saw that for FREE when Garcia did it...I won't even watch this fight until it rebroadcasts. I'm boycotting this WWE-ass fabrication of a mega fight.
According to what's been said thus far, alot of people on the this thread would fight tooth and f--kn nail to establish that Al Capone was not a gangster because he was never convicted of anything except tax evasion. However, we all know that's not the case. Now...some people need to get over their little man(ny)-crush, stop being naive, and keep it motherf--kn real.
No-o-o-o-o-o-o! There goes my hopes for Marquez v Cotto. He just doesn't look good at '54, not for any 1 reason but a combination of reasons. He's short w/ short arms, he doesn't have good defense, he has average foot work, and he's abandoned the body work that he used to punish people with.
First off, i cant wait for someone to whoop floyd's ass and shut his arrogant ignorant mouth. However, now i have a better understanding of the term "pactard". I mean, seriously, if i really...really want to fight someone i'll take the test, wear your gloves, fight in your ring of choice, ****! I'll even let you pick out my shorts. I don't care as long as i get the chance to f--k you up. Now....what's the problem folks? Take the test the motherf--kin test and handle your business.
I couldn't agree more with Beltran and Nacho. Marquez would be a fool to try and out-do his KO over Pacman. And Pacman should just let it be. He beat Marquez twice and Marquz beat him once...by KO. So just, leave it alone. I heard Cotto's strength coach was saying that he thinks Cotto has another run at '47 left in him. Could we be looking at Cotto v. Marquez on Sept. 13th? That will definitely give Floyd v. ??? a run for it's money.
This is all because a couple days ago Gabe Rosado came out saying "Puerto Rico loves me" blah, blah "The people in Puerto Rico have no champion right now, would you (Rosado) like to be their champion?" Garcia came to mind immediately and I know I saw Garcia doing interviews in Spanish. Also, what about Cotto? I mean, I know he don't got no belt right now, but damn! What a slap in the face! Cotto is still the #3 PPV name out there. WTF.
Golovkin = Fraud
Canelo's Resume>GGG's Resume
Bruh? You been fighting at middle weight your whole career, MOVE DA F--K UP!
No one wants to fight you? MOVE DA F--K UP!
Stop waiting around for smaller known fighters to dare to be great and move up to fight you, since you refuse to dare to great. Das a b--ch move, MOVE DA F--K UP!
Rosado, moved up. Monroe, moved up. Geale, moved up. Brook, moved up. The biggest name on your resume is a F--King Welter Weight! And that was not 5 or 6 fights ago, it was your last fight! :lame: But you a so called killer, and everyone running from you? SMDH...The biggest name out there, that wants to fight you is LARA, but you want no parts of him, why is that? But everyone forgot that Canelo asked for that fight, hmm????
Idk...this racist **** is funny but killing me. There will always be tension between mexican and pr boxing world because boxing wouldn't be **** if it went for those two countries...well us prop lol
I am mexican but I will say f cheato and I hope Cotto puts him to sleep!!!!!!!!!
GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE W/ THE BALLS TO STEP OUTSIDE (BLIND) CULTURAL IGNORANCE. MARG IS A f--KN CHEAT, HIS SEEMINGLY SUPER-HUMAN POWER WAS A SHAM. THOSE WHO DEFEND HIM DISHONOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR CULTURE.
When the numbers were crunched, donaire wasnt getting 3. and he was just as big a draw as mares was/is as he WAS the #1 in the division at that point. go ahead and hate on tr all you want lil sheep. its ok, but your bias is not.
No he wasn't getting all of the $3 mil but he still would have got his biggest paycheck yet.
Read the fine print player! http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/8883112/golden-boy-offers-nonito-donaire-camps-3-million-abner-mares-fight
I'm not necessarily "hating" on Top Rank" they bring it on themselves. I'm just looking at the facts! They're always pulling this "The Rematch of Rematch" crap with garbage undercards. And look what they did with Cotto! I mean, I love Cotto but, c'mon! Delvin Rodriguez? Seriously? Cotto should, at the very least be fighting HBO level talent. Let me reiterate, Golden Boy=Quality Product.
I didn't think trout out skilled cotto by any means , cotto was a victim of his height and reach period .. Trout stayed on the outside all fight and didn't let cotto in .. Cottos downfall at 154 is his height at 5'5 .. Built like a tank but too short for that division
Yeah Cotto is all wrong to compete at 154. Bad defense, average foot work, no reach, and too short. I love Miguel, but I think Canelo get's him, even if it's close Canelo will get the "nod", and Cotto will have diminished his brand more than it already is. You guys are forgetting that, considering the TR and GB beef, Cotto is the only viable option as Mayweather's next opponent. From the business side, he's the only guy with the name and fan base that can put up the numbers Showtime is looking for.
NOBOdy wants to see this Horse S*#t again!?! Top Rank picks there winners,Just like they picked Manny in the 3rd fight,Bradley over manny, and bum-bum over Abril. BOYCOTT!!!
Amen to that... we have to get our message across to these people via numbers, because that's all they understand... Numbers.
Im curious about this as well and await the hearing. However people, keep in mind, the scoring of the fight really was not bad and the judges appeared to do a good job if I remember correctly. Before this mystery man was discovered the controversy was offer the ref deducting points, not the judges. Not many people had a problem with the scorecards from the judges.
Right, and the card that Skyy sports kept showing in their clip was a card w/ corrections on it where the WBA official scored the 7th round 10/8 Khan, when it should've been the other way around because that's the round Khan got penalized in. This whole thing is BS, smoke & mirrors...smoke & mirrors....
