Ellerbe: "De La Hoya Can't Win The Rematch"

[bigdaddysback]

1st PBF will fight DLH then "retire" then come outa retirement to fight Cotto. Its the best order for him but i can see Cotto giving PBF plenty of troulbe..

[The Troll]

I know that also thats why he always fights in New York because they allow him to wear 8 oz gloves. But it might happen in Vegas for monitary reasons. Just like PBF gave up all that stuff for a fight with De la Hoya for the money. Cotto will at least give it a considerable amount of thought if he wants a fight for the most money and a fight that will have a HUGE impact on his legacy. Cotto will take the fight in Vegas because Cotto is not in the drivers seat as far negotiating with PBF.

welterweights should not be using 10oz gloves, to make that mandatory, bad rule Nevada.

Cotto vs. De La Hoya would be a good fight. Mayweather wins going away against either of them, so they should fight each other.

Funny how people say that "Cotto needs Floyd" When its actually the other way around. Yes Floyd might hold the WW title, but Cotto has accomplished more at that weight than Floyd. Right now, it looks as if Floyd wants no part of Cotto. Now how does that look? It looks really bad. Your the recognized WW champ, yet u dont want to face the man regarded as the #1 contender in your weight class. A man that 99% of the boxing world is demanding you fight. So who really looks worst right now? Cotto, a man who is willing to take on ANYBODY in his weight division. Or Floyd, a man who wants to look beneath and above his weight division for a fight? Yes, Floyd is the man right now, but Cotto is seen as the man to beat. Edge here goes to Cotto. He's earned his respect in the sport, and never has any excuses why not to fight someone.

Its not the other way around and for you to think that is based more on dislike than logic, PBF doesnt really need anyone at this point, nor does he owe anyone anything, Cotto is the best fight for him, and the best competition, but to say he needs him is a stretch, Cotto needs him to really solidify himself and get his legacy really cranked up, whereas with floyd if he wins, especially by blowout, it tells us something we already knew anyway.

Why is everyone on Cotto's ****? He's a good fighter and all but to say PBF needs him makes no sense. What has he accomplished. Getting knocked on his ass by 2 virtually no named fighters? winning a belt (who doesn't have a belt?) Beating Zab Judah (who hasn't beat Zab Judah?) Truth be told, you dude is good but PBF is in a whole different league. That's not a Floyd fan talking. Just someone who knows boxing

DLH could give mayweather a run for his money so I'd like to see the rematch. I wouldn't be quick to bet either way even though PBF pretty much had a wide margin victory(punch stat wise). and dlh wasn't himself mostly due to the fact that he was trained by freddy roach. mayweather senior knows dlh better and he knows mayweather jr better and he is a better trainer than roach is, so the next fight will be totally different. plus dlh has the fight tape to watch over and over again to see what he could do or not do differently.

oh and dlh is a much better fighter than cotto is so, if dlh can't beat mayweather, cotto can't beat mayweather.

maybe oscar may not won a rematch with ugly boy floyd. but seeing ugly boy running from oscar is enough conclusion... that ugly boy floyd is afraid to exchange punches with oscar because he might get hit with oscar's dreaded left hook! ugly boy floyd's claim to the #1 P4P honor is a... shame! ask roberto duran.

yeah, the same way he gave floyd a run for his money in the first fight.

better to let the world believe you are an idiot and a moron than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

yeah, oscar's dreaded left hook. you mean the one he put on whitaker, quartey, trinidad, mosley, sturm, hopkins, and floyd. yeah those were dreadfull.

how about the left hook he had for winky, spinks, forrest. sorry, i forgot oscar hasn't fought those fighters because they are his size. and we all know oscar won't fight anyone his size.

You just contradicted yourself saying he won't fight fighters his size yet you list Trinidad, Quartey, Sturm and Hopkins as his opponents and don't forget about Vargas.
