      Damn, boy, it's time for you to educate yourself about the sport. I realize you are trying - evidence of the last few threads you have made...

      Why don't you try ACCEPTING the answer?

          maussa was one of the champs at the time. what i don't understand is why is it that cotto's opponents were hanpicked after everyone thought he couldn't take a punch and all the claims of mayweather handpicking opponents but no one ever claims that about hatton.maussa urango and castillo were all opponents that weren't really **** except for castillo but he was not the same fighter he once was.

            You dont understand.

            Maussa was a fawking NOBODY when he fought Cotto. And same when he fought Harris. There probably wasn't even any available tape on him other then his bout with Cotto.

            He was brought in for the Harris bout and Harris was expected to blow him out. They were trying to set up a Harris - Mayweather bout. Evidence of this is the press conference that was held. Tons of **** talk from the Harris/Mayweather camps. Gatti was almost a forgotten spectacle. He was pretty much expected to get blasted by Mayweather.

            Maussa, by nothing more then luck won the title. Hatton pounced on this oppurtunity..and had control of 3 out of 4 belts because of this. Which meant he would have the leg up in negotiations whoever he chose to fight at 140.

            Thread over.

                  Yes it was. But only because they were in the same division.

                  A match was too be made with myself too, I was weighing 140 at that time (not..).

                      Antonim you dont understand boxing. Go do some research.

                      If boxing made each star fight another star every single bout...we would never have any stars. Promoter's wouldn't make any money, and neither would the fighter's themselves.
