    I'd have nothing else to argue about since those still in denial I'd truly just feel sorry for and not bother. I promise. It would be a disgusting sight seeing Hatton stans immediately jump ship to Cotto and I wouldn't even deal with it, let alone worry about trying to undermine Miguel Cotto, who means nothing to me, but is a good fighter.

      How do you know that? Because I honestly had no idea why and it couldn't have been that serious, obviously seeing as how I was given the benefit of the doubt. If I racially offended any PRs, I apologize, but I just don't remember and that would be strange seeing as how I consider many Puerto Ricans as being akin to black people. Anyways, this isn't the thread and no, I don't have anything against Puerto ricans.

        I'm pretty sure that Mayweather will win, however if I was as sure as sonofIsis pretends to be then to still pay 50 dollars to order the fight l would have to be a total nuthugger.

            Your question is a distraction. By boxingscene standards, Cotto ducked Mayweather by listening to Arum. Arum wanted to give Miguel 1 to 2 years to get ready, it says it plain as day from the horse' mouth, yet we're giving Cotto a year and a half, but have people like Wiley scrutinizing Floyd for a 2 month period while they decide if he fights Tszyu or Gatti, even though Tszyu showed no interest? If Mayweather ducked Tszyu, then Cotto and Hatton definitely ducked Floyd, which was the point, whether I mean it literally or not. I have a feeling that you already understood the implication but instead want me to chase your nonsense. Can't do that.
            Tszyu did show interest. That has been proven. You still are avoiding the facts.

            But, I understand the rest of what you are saying. You are trying to apply the same standard I used with Floyd, to other boxers. Fair enough.

            But, I don't understand how Hatton could be ducking Floyd when he's fighting him on Dec. 8. I have heard that statements were made earlier in Hatton's career that he wasn't ready for Floyd yet. BUT do you have any evidence that Hatton was actually on offer to make the fight? This is the difference between the Tszyu example and the Hatton and Cotto situations as I see them. Tszyu was on offer and publicly indicated his willingness to accept but the Floyd camp expressed no interest in that particular fight.

            Similiarly, I don't understand how Cotto could have ever been considered to be ducking Floyd, unless you can show me with links the literature showing that a fight with Cotto was offered with money and Cotto refused. Do you have it?

            This is the difference between Cotto/Hatton and Tszyu. Again if you have the evidence, please provide it.

              Then he shouldn't get as much credit honestly. Cotto is the number 1 welterweight (besides Mayweather who is champ) and Cotto deserves a shot at Floyd and it's a ***** move if he doesn't face him. I think we all realize this.

              The point being said, Floyd didn't duck Tszyu at all. Tszyu said he'd be willing to fight him and Floyd said that he'd be willing to fight Tszyu after the Gatti fight. No one didn't duck anyone.

              And what's this about Cotto ducking Mayweahter??? That's absurd.

              That and I would say Hatton ducked Mayweather before, but it doesn't matter since he's fighting him anyway and Mayweather isn't old.


              Tszyu was on offer and publicly indicated his willingness to accept but the Floyd camp expressed no interest in that particular fight.
              Floyd expressed interest about fighitng Tszyu, he just had his hands full with Gatti first. No ducking there.
