I would rather be Pacquiao since he beat Barrera, a faster Morales, and a Marquez at his best.
Mayweather would beat Pacquiao by decision. Pacquiao loves to jump someone when they make mistakes. When Marquez made few mistakes in that fight, Pacquiao was in danger 24/7. Mayweather hardly makes mistakes. Mayweather's punching power wouldn't matter. Pacquiao has one hell of a chin.
Honestly, I do respect him. I lost so much respect for him when he appeared on wrestling. This guy can be a bitch when you disrespect him. Bob Arum stole money from him and he acted like his entire fortune got stolen. I don't disrespect him for turning down that 1 million dollar fight since Bob disrespected him in a huge way, but he turned down the fact that he could have silenced critics.
Money and pride> 1 million dollars and giving a man, who stole money from him, another couple of millions.
afaik mayweather is better than cotto. if cotto wants to prove hes better then he should have some fund raisers because mayweather only fights when the price is right. even if he did get a contract,youd probably have to wait for next year for the fight.
Should be Floyd, but he is sounding like a bitch to me. Who cares if Bob ripped you off? Suck it up, and fight Cotto. He is a great fighter, and a great bitch.
pacman is the best featherweight of all time?
I would like to think so, but I wouldn't argue with a member that has more than one star in their rating. :tapedshut
Prime Morales gets baited into trading shots and get's ko'ed by prime Pac everytime. Morales won the 1st fight because of his years of experience as a ring veteran. Experience he did not have in his prime where he was busy being wanting to beat the living shit out of every opponent because his pride would not allow him to win any other way. Powerwise still was still never as strong as a prime Pac tho. However greatest featherweight of all time is a huge stretch. He's not even greatest filipino boxer of all time.
i agree with your statement about morales' prime, but pac isnt the best filippino boxer?
pancho villa? elorde? my filipino neighbor says they were smarter than pac, but i cant agree since i never seen either one fight.
other boxers from the philippines arent well liked. in fact i died of laughter at that one filippino guy for getting a huge bump on his head
imo it would be very hard for dlh to win. his age and all. when he lost to mayweather and retired...it disappointed me like morales' retirement after his loss.
:repost: But it's should answer this Thread...!!!
While Floyd vs. Cotto right now will be a good Fight
(i would like too see it)
It wouldn’t be as big as Hatton and De La Hoya was
and it wouldnt be as Great as it could of been if Cotto would have gotten to 2other belts
Floyd vs. Hatton Numbers:2.5 Million P.P.V Combined
http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=11766
Floyd vs. De La Hoya Numbers: 2.15 P.P.V Combined
Floyd is Spoiled Now, He is not fighting in anything less than Events from now on....and his last 2 fights have been Events to not just the Boxing World but for the Sport and Entertainment world...
Look how much Promoting Floyd had to do for the Hatton FIGHT....
"Dancing with the Stars"
Look what he is doing for the next De La Hoya Fight
"WrestleMania"
Now what do you think he is going to have to do for the Cotto fight if he chooses to fight him right now...
"American Idol"...???
Sorry Cotto Fans,
Floyd is not going to do anything special for the Cotto and Arum to build this fight
Floyd is expecting Cotto and Arum to do something Special to build this fight Simply because he does not like Arum ..
http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170553
And that something Special is Getting those other 2 belts..!!!
Cotto is not a Draw outside of Boxing Yet so he has no choice but to get those belts to fight Floyd or become a mainstream Attraction...And Floyd knows Cotto doesnt have a personality to become a mainstream Attraction so the only option Cotto has is to become GREAT. and get those 2 belts.!!!...
This is what I have been trying to say forever...
Cotto Stock isnt high enough to really convince Floyd and the Public that this could be a big event...
Cotto needs to raise his Stock....
or
How about this, How about cotto fight Floyd for the same money he fought Mosely so floyd can make THe same money he made fighting Hatton...Since Cotto is not a mainstream Attraction yet outside of New York..
that would be about around a 70-30 Split....
This all you need to read.
yup. its too bad that most of his people,or at least the ones living on guam,dont even know how good he really is. i was expecting him to retire when he beat JMM since i believe he already proved himself, but i never thought of light weight. he got dizzy easily by jmm's shots, light weight is going to be even harder.
they spring up like cock-roaches.
are you calling me a fanboy? i am a fan of mayweather, but not a huge one. although he doesn't give out respect, he deserves it. i am about to say what sounds like a fanboy statement, but this is in my honest opinion.
mayweather is a great boxer. in fact floyd mayweather reminds me of ali. i see similarities in their styles, they are both cocky, and are hated by the boxing community the main difference is that ali was dedicated in proving that he was the best. i have never felt the need to hate cotto and i still dont.
his fight with quintana is one reason for me to say that cotto is a great boxer, but saying cotto is a better boxer right now is something i cant say! maybe soon ,but i cant say it right now.
go ahead and call me biase because you think im black, but youll be on the list with other people thinking im mexican or filippino.
Amir Khan is a PROSPECT DUDE.
Seriously.
Let's use some brains.
The true champs of 135 div are D.Diaz, Campbell, Casa, J.Diaz (if he can pick himself up).
Amir Khan is a prospect.
When Pac beats the best at 135 then he will solidify that he has the right to stand side by side with Ali in greatness.
Ali already compared himself to pac.
So critics should just shut up.
ali and pac are way too different. ali is patient, but pac is just eager to blow up. pac would be more like a mike tyson with less hunger... for a knock down...
who decided to make pacman into a lw? his promoter? roach? discussion between him and roach mustve happened. maybe roach thinks pac can dominate lw division.
when i first watched the fight,i decided to have a scoring system that whenever i couldnt tell who won the round i would give a point to marquez.
in the end i had it that pacquiao won by 1 point
i gave the first round to marquez, but rewatching it... pac won that round. that 12th round was also won by pacquiao. so now im wondering how did people have marquez win?
youd have to be lucky to get a link. one guy put pac's fight with marquez round 2-4 on youtube and it didnt last for a day. or maybe i just cant find it anymore
I like Cotto. He's a great fighter. but the only thing that prevents me from being a hardcore fan of his are his damn eyebrows. Let that shit grow out man!! embrace your manhood! If you got a natural uni brow going on, rock that shit homie! Don't be ashamed!
lol!:wtf1:
depends on who you watch. ali vs bonavena was the first fight i ever watched. thought it was amazing that a punch like that ko'ed bona. started watching boxing mainly because of mike tyson! first fight i saw from him, he knocked the other guy out with the 1st thrown punch! if you want your friends to watch boxing you shouldve invited them to watch pacquiao vs morales or barrera and i heard cotto is one of the best boxers to watch.
i didnt like basketball until i started playing and started watching kobe bryant's awesomeness. to like a sport one must feel a connection to it.
thought he was pissed and wanted to do an eye to eye thing that alot of ppl do when they are angry at someone. did you see marquez held the rope? thought it was a kd.
nope, they still have cotto who is puerto rican. many boxers are mexicans. i believe that morales and pacquiao were really the ones that attracted attention in the lower weight divisions. sorry barrera fans..btw who here will keep an eye on marquez still?

this is why people love ufc. can you show your middle finger in boxing? No, but you can get your coach to do it for you.
I watched ufc, but got tired of it because too much grappling.
