    The thread starter is a douche..
    clown, my point is that fans always ***** about money like they wouldnt be doing the same ****in thing. I hate it when fans do that. It makes them sound like fools. Everyone bitches about atheltes and how they are millionares while the common man just makes chump change. They say that if they were making millions then they wouldnt be trying to hold out for more money but thats garbage. The fact is everyone wants to get as much as they can because you cant have this job forever.

    My brother even makes me sick. Dude is the most selfish/greediest guy in the world and he has the nerve to always get mad when ball players hold out for more money when there already making millions. He is the same exact way. 1st my brother had nothing and now he's got a buisness where he makes a ton of money. He doesnt make NBA money but he doesnt make common man money either. He makes way more then the common man and guess what? He always is bitching and trying to get more money. Its the same thing he was doing when he was broke. Now if your in the Pros then its the same thing. Sure your making millions but theres another guy who isnt anywhere near as good as you and he's making 5mil more. Your not going to try to get that 5? Everyone would do it. Its just hating. Stop hating on guys. Your a fool if you dont go for the money.

    Floyd could fight Clottey right now and get KO in the 4th round. Then where would he be? He will have just let a 20mil fight go down the drain. Now he is 20 mil less richer and has a loss. Get your money while you can

Its just like Margarito losing to Santos and then Williams but everyone still sweats him. He'll lose that same way to Cotto and will get sweated even more. Whatever happened to a guy having to win fights to get boosted? Or Cotto loses a tough war to Margarito and then everyone will go crazy over them both because Cotto showed how bad he is in the war against the tough SOB and Margarito won so that proves how great he is. Its a setup.
      WOW talk about over analyzing ****. So according to you their is nobody good, only overrated over hyped guys?

      Margarito lost early in his career like Marquez/Pac Man. Margarito lost a close decision to Paul Williams who is the new #1Most feared man in the welterweight division.

      Margarito is real contender and so is Cotto. If they fight i can see FOTY because of their styles.You can rest assure that if they fight they will lose years of their career that night. The moment PPV is annouced for Cotto vs Margarito i will buy it.

        They are both good but there is a difference between being good and being great. Cotto still has a chance to be great but Margarito doesnt. I call him overrated because people were hyping him so hard on here. Where have you been? Name one thing he did to get that hype? Just one. Beating a green Cintron? Come on now. He's getting by because he's a huge guy in his 1st division who beats up on guys smaller then him. Guys sweat him but he moves up one time and loses to an average guy like Santos. Then people were saying that he would put a beat down on Williams and he lost.

        Williams being the most avoided man is another joke. Its a hype job by fans and the media. There are very good guys who would fight him any time of day like Clottey, Collazo, Forrest, and Karmazin. Do you think those are not good fights? Then the other guys who wont fight him are the overhyped ******* Im talking about. How can guys like Cotto and Cintron not fight him? How could Margairto lose and not want a rematch when he is supposed to be a super warrior. Again, I will always cut Floyd a break due to the fact he's not a real WW. Poeple can downplay that **** all they want but I wont. If anyone believes that if this was Floyd's 1st division that he wouldnt fight Williams then they are a joke. Why would he be scared of Williams if he was a big natural WW? The same guy who's fought in 5 divisions and fought another huge undefeated killer in Chico when he was way bigger then him? I cant believe people dont talk about this. Those other 3 ******* have no reason not to fight him and they wont. He's not avoided, there just ******* and people let it slide

          I do think that he made a statement about coming back from his vacation "if the money was right"...

          Not that it justifies the fight, but he wasn't lying.

            well Mayweather-DHL 2 will make x10 more money than Cotto-Margarito done 10 times.


            Anyway nobody knew Margarito intell he started out calling Floyd.

                cotto isnt the welterweight champion who hasnt fought a welterweight in a long time

                cotto isnt the self proclaimed greatest ever

                cotto is just entering his prime, hes just getting going in his welterweight career. they are not at comparable places in their career.

                this should be legacy building time for floyd. but somehow dominating his division isnt something hes concerned about. and not surprisingly his fans dont care.

                shine **** and call it gold. good enough for floyd mayweather fans.

                  Does that change the fact that these so-called boxing fans who "just want to see the best fight the best" were okay with Cotto fighting one guy and are not okay with Mayweather fighting another?

                  I'm just as angry as everyone else about this ****ing rematch, but the people who dislike Floyd go out of their way to call Floyd out for **** that they would allow for other fighters. It is obnoxious.

                  Anyways, I certainly don't know how you can be ready to give Floyd's 147 status away to Cotto, considering Cotto was chasing the same fight just two months ago.

                    Flody is the best it comes with the terriotory to be hated.

                    look at Cotto's record in detail and know he is doing good but not that good.

                    at 140 who is the guy who he beaten? Corely? people critize Floyd for fighting Gatti,Brussels and Corely.

                    He won a WBO which is not recongnize by IBHOF

                    At 147 he just started won the WBA against Quintant fought Urkal and then he fough Zab after everyone critized Floyd for doing so.

                    It just shows how hypocrite many people in this website are. and now Cotto is fighting Alfonso Gomez and Margarito never talked about a rematch against William even though he though he won.

                      I seriously doubt that. The first fight between DLH/Floyd was so boring it will be lucky to half of the first fight.

                      Cotto/Floyd would do just as many PPV sales and would at least have the chance to be an exciting fight, unlike a DLH/Floyd rematch. Cotto/Margarito would be the most exciting match up style wise, but would probably not sell as much since Margarito is not a huge name and the fair weather fans that were drawn to the first DLH/Floyd fight are morons. These are the kind of fans that would rather watch Calzaghe/Manfredo than Calzaghe/Kessler.
