    These promoters make a TON of money on thie fighters. As soon as the fighter stops making money for them, they are discarded.

    A novice boxing fans (Moofo) take Arum's word like it's the Qu'ran.
    Yeah you got a point about promoters and their fighters. Should never trust a word they say. They all about that money.

      Has anybody lied more than Delahoya??

      I love the way that Tito undressed Oscar last year. Last November, when Oscar was squeezing Floyd on the contract, he said "Maybe I'll go fight Trinidad". Leverage. OK. Fine.

      Tito came out in Diario and said that he had not discussed anything with Oscar and he wishes Oscar would stop using his name every time Oscar is promoting a fight.

      Clowned.

          If I am a novice boxing fan then I must be a faster learner than you Dios.
          At least i can point out the flaws in fighters I like.
          All I've seen you do on this forum is quote biased Journalism time and again to prove(which you don't actually prove) your points.
          One quote was from a writer doing what Arum is here.
          Last year he was saying Floyd was terrible and avoiding fighters.
          Then you pull out an article by the same writer who says Floyd is the best thing since Jesus christ.
          Funny ****.
          All you keep doing is showing everyone that you would probably let Floyd use your tongue as toilet paper.
          True story.

            i don't think anybody could beat floyd but i do think miguel has the best chance as for paquio he's a good fighter but he seems to fight the same people over and over

              It's Arum being Arum he wouldn't say this if Floyd was still in TR. Was hopkins terribly exciting, was Pernell terribly exciting, common stop the hate. People can't stand giving credit where credit is due. The winner of Mosley/Cotto will get the chance to see if they can beat Mayweather come next year.

                BOB ARUM: Well, you know, there are a number of aspects that make a great fighter. One is speed. His speed is phenomenal. The way he throws punches, phenomenal. The way he is conditioned, phenomenal. I mean, he’s the entire whole package. And beside all of those skills, he is the – again, put Ali aside – and I was just those couple of years with Ali were, I mean, maybe because my eyes were younger then, but put Ali aside, other than Ali, he’s the most intelligent fighter that I have ever seen. I mean, Floyd, this is no bull****; Floyd can see a punch coming before the other guy knows he’s going to throw it. Do you understand that? I mean, I have never seen such ring intelligence that Floyd demonstrates.
                And so he’s the whole package, and you know, Ray Leonard was a great fighter, Marvin Hagler was a great fighter, Duran certainly was great, Oscar had a couple of years where he was very good, but there’s nobody that is a whole package like Floyd.

                The thread should of ended with that post, that pretty much says everything about Arum when it comes to that subject.

                    Cotto

                    Cotto is 1 of my favourite fighters active today but i just think back to the way he Laboured too a decision against a guy who had no punching power but was durable but most importantly of all gave him good foot movement and and hand speed ,Cotto looked a little ordinary uptill his harder punches started too slow down and take there toll on Malinaggi

                    and lets face it that fight was not as one sided as Malinaggi's face suggested it was fight was i thought it was still in the balance going into the last 3 rounds

                    just think how Floyd's footwork and speed & accuracy would bamboozle Cotto
