    You Cant Blame Floyd!

    Fans make me sick. They always act like atheletes have to worry about them. They make me even more sick when they act like money doesnt mean anything. No way would anyone fight another guy over Oscar. No Boxer would. I gurantee you that. Fans are dumb for saying that guys should just fight the best boxer and not worry about money. This is life and everyone does it. YOU WOULD TOO! Why turn it down? Floyd also probally looks at it like he can fight Cotto, Williams, Pac, or whoever any time he wants but you dont get many chances with Oscar and you take them when you get them. If he says No to Oscar now to fight someone else then he's taking a super long shot on getting that fight again. No one is going to risk losing all that money.

    Every fighter close to Oscar would drop everything there doing to fight him and its a fact. There's only a couple of guys who wouldnt and its for other reasons. Cotto & Williams might fight Floyd over Oscar and then all of you would sweat them like they want the big fights instead of the money fight when in reality thats so far from the truth. They would fight Floyd because he's 2nd to Oscar when it comes to money, they would make way more in there career, and Im telling you that those guys see Floyd as an easier fight then Oscar because of the size. Its the samething I always say. They dont fear Floyd because they think there too big for him. Everyone knows that Floyd is way better then Oscar P4P but I bet that both Williams and Cotto see Oscar as a bigger threat to them then Floyd, e****ally if the Oscar fight is at 154.

    Im just shocked that Oscar is doing it. He does have some good reasons. Floyd is the #1 guy in boxing, he's the biggest name in boxing behind Oscar, and he's smaller. It can help his legacy so much and its the biggest money fight. I still thought he would fight Cotto 1st but for some reason he wont. I personaly think that as much as he talks about being friends with Arum, he still likes to stick it to him. Oscar is fake though because he said that he would never fight Floyd again because Floyd runs. Now you have other WW's who wont run and you wont fight them? I guess there names just arent big enough but like I said, Floyd does bring alot more pluses to the table then those 2. Im sure that your hoping like me that Oscar will still fight Cotto on Cinco De Mayo and then fight Floyd but I doubt it. My guess is that Arum will rip the public off with the Cotto tuneup and then the Cotto vs Margarito fight. I call it a ripoff because there the 2 most hyped guys in the game and someone will win close which will make them both look like 2 studs who everyone is scared off instead of maybe 2 overrated guys who cant beat the big boys

      I can almost guarantee you that nobody will feel ripped off watching a Cotto-Margarito fight. Would you make the same guarantee about Mayweather-DLH II?

        K....are you Leonard Ellerbe or part of his team?

        If you are...fair enough.

        But if you're not...how about a big glass of SHUT THE **** UP.

        Look, bud. I am a fight fan, not just a fighter of a certain fighter. What does this mean?

        I like fighting, and i like to see the best fight the best. Purely for my own entertainment reasons.

        This Oscar - Floyd fight is a ****ing fraud. Oscar hasn't been a contender for the last 4 or 5 years. He hasn't moved his way up the ranks, he hasn't fought challengers...he's a phony fraud who is still living off of his name and good looks.

        I have to give Floyd because he has fought the man at pretty much every division. Minus Tszyu and maybe Casamayor/Freitas early in his career...he has pretty much fought everyone.

        But this fight...from a fans point of view...is bogus. The first fight was a fix and a SPARRING MATCH. Everyone knows it. Both of these fighters didn't fight like winners. They fought pretty much exactly like they are. Millionaires who dont need to fight any more.

        Guys who fight because of greed.

          Totally different scenario. For one thing, Cotto never fought Oscar before

              Joey...

              Castillo had The Ring belt after beating Johnston at 135... So he was technically the man.

              Casamayor and Freitas were two missed opportunities though, I'll agree. Who's fault that was is a tough question.

                  That's bull****. If this chump doesn't have a chance to beat any elite, then there should have been bitching about that. If he does have a chance, considering the closeness of the decision, then a rematch does at least make some sense.

                  I am personally in the camp that Cotto-De La Hoya was ****, and so is the rematch, but I think you have a hard battle justifying why it is okay for Cotto to fight Oscar and not Floyd.

                  You gave the fight to Oscar... it could be (snowball's chance in hell) that he is taking the rematch to shut the few critics up that gave the fight to Oscar.
