attacking my credibility by attacking my opinion on an unrelated matter IS a personal attack. I

When I said "prove I was wrong", I said it to my recounting of past events: no judging, scoring, or bias involved. I probably shouldnt have used the word "babble" but the rest of my summary I felt was accurate.

Generalizing about somebody's previous comments and calling them out to prove you wrong about something that's been discussed the previous 40 mintutes, just when the particpants of the thread are about to wrap it up with the convo, shows desperation.

Psych 101 stuff.

When you claim to have won the argument, whats wrong with attacking that claim by showing your argument's weakness?

But you haven't shown it. I exposed your weakness. You claim that Oscar defeated Floyd. That in itself is a weakness that deserves explotation without further explanation.

Now I'm starting to rhyme

I believe that Oscar is a ***** and I made examples of that comparing him to Mike Tyson while comparing Klitschko and Peter to Floyd and Cotto. You blew that example off by saying that Peter and Wlad would show more class "and NOT fight that bum Mike Tyson" (yeah ok). Now that example makes sense to others who are willing to give up the back and forth bickering but you're clearly not of those people.

You're in it to outlast people.

my claim that oscar defeated floyd has NOTHING to do with you calling Oscar a ***** for accepting the rematch.

I did not blow off, I addressed and disagreed with the legitimacy of the examples:

Klitschko/Peter at this time would not fight Tyson because they have to much class to beat up an old bum, even for a lot of money(not that he could bring a lot to the table these days anyway). You will find this post in the thread.

I addressed the Cotto issue being irrelevant in that Cotto has legitimate reasons OTHER than mere greed for fighting Oscar. Floyd does not have this.

Yes it does. It reveals your mentality/thought process.

And I'm saying they don't have enough "class" just as Cotto or any other top guy doesn't have "class" when it comes to Delahoya.

Money Talks.......there is no factual way to prove it to ya since it's hypothetical. It all comes down to your mentality/thought process. as I mentioned above. What's more realistic, Peter or Klitschko turning down millions to fight Tyson who is an easier opponent for more money OR be above it all and turn the big money fight down.

I think the answer is obvious, except to you.

I addressed the Cotto issue being irrelevant in that Cotto has legitimate reasons OTHER than mere greed for fighting Oscar. Floyd does not have this.

This is where we disagree.

What legit reasons? Beating a past his prime Oscar after he suffered another loss? Aren't people critisizing Floyd for beating a past his prime Oscar, how is Cotto gonna get anyting out of it. That's like critisizing Floyd for beating Judah after he came off a loss to Baldomir BUT trying to convince somebody that it's a good win for Cotto even though Judah came into that fight with 17 months of inactivity and 2 losses later.

I agree that it DOES come down to mentality. I think that some fighters have a more money grubbing mentality than others, but its true that ALL fighters want to fight Oscar largely for the money.

However, what Floyd is doing is a new low. Oscar had a very competitive fight with the p4p#1. Although Cotto could make more relevant fights to the current ww division, it is not a terrible matchup and name to add to his resume. Plus, Cotto's most obvious next step "retired"! For Mayweather, however, it is ALL about the money. I mean, there is no other benefit!

I was talking about your mentality/thought process.

It's not a new low since we have to leave room for the possibility that Cotto/Mayweather might still happen in 2009 if both are victorious in their upcoming fights. What you have to consider is that, when everybody is willing to fight Oscar for money, then it can't be just Floyd. He just happens to be the guy with the power of getting a shot at The Golden Boy

It's all on Oscar, Winky wants him, Forrest wants him, guys at 147 wants him.
Everybody wants him.......so it's a question of who Oscar wants.

And clearly Oscar wants Floyd. He is ignoring what the people want for his own selfish needs (most money). He could retire with Winky in May and Forrest in December. Those would be huge wins and anybody who doesn't think so is delusional. Beating two guys your own size who have beaten the guy Oscar lost to twice would be huge.

It didn't happen because Oscar didnt' want it to happen. He is the middleman in this game as long as he doesn't announce his retirement.

Now how hard is this to understand?

It makes perfect sense. The difference between the way I see it and the way you see it is, Mayweather is the hugest win of all and Oscar is literally fighting THE best fighter in the world when getting in the ring with him. I respect him for that. I dont blame him for taking the fight.

You may deny this, but a lot of fans see it this way I'm sure. So given the fact that Oscar is fighting the biggest threat out their at that threat's behest, WHO is the new culprit? The way I see it, you can either:

A-expect Oscar to sacrifice his desire to fight the best by leaving the welterweight divisions alone and meddling in other divisions(even though Mayweather would probably be fighting no one this year if he didnt fight DLH, so its not like he's taking Cotto's spot)-This is what I perceive your opinion to be.

B-expect Mayweather have a little less disrespect towards the boxing fans and let other more deserving fighters get their Oscar payday and fight the best in his own division. How could Oscar refuse another shot at the ultimate glory in boxing?(reasoning for this is that Mayweather made the offer and Mayweather has the least credibility in rematching Oscar of just about any fighter out there due to his p4p status and win over Oscsar).-My view

C-Mayweather shouldnt duck his challengers, Oscar shouldnt be so selfish and cut in line, theyre both pieces of ****-Mozza's view

I'm not denying anything. What I'm saying is that he doesn't deserve it but keeps getting oppritunities at great fighters time and time again due to his money making ability. He could lose to Floyd again and get a shot at somebody like Pavlik if he wanted to (hypothetically, don't say now that it would never happen) and people would be critisizing Pavlik for not defending his title against real Middleweights. But who really should be blamed is Oscar for even bringing Pavlike's name up.

Has he earned a shot at Floyd again? No.

Does Tyson deserve a direct shot at the undisputed heavyweight championship if he were to come out of retirement? No, but he would most likely get it due to his money making ability.

Should we give Tyson credit for fighting the best if he were to fight Klitschko?
Should we give Oscar credit for fighting the best if he were to fight Mayweather?

No and No.....because at some point you get tired of these guys using/abusing their power because of their Superstar status.
