    like I said before.. no one likes a prick!
    Yes he is a prick and???????

    Next time you wanna make a point be sure and be consistant unstead of mouthing off talking about "If Floyd did this and that he would make more money".

    He is making all the money right now. And fighting Cotto isn't gonna make him anymore then fighting Delahoya again.

    So just stick to your "floyd is scared of Cotto" talk unstead of looking ******.

      How many people knew that Hatton had no business fighting at 147 before Mayweather? He was 1-0 up to that point and had won the WBA welterweight title.
      I'm not saying that beating Hatton meant nothing, thats not at all what I said. What I want to know is where are the risks? Where is Mayweather going above and beyond to give the fans the fights they want? OK, you beat Oscar and Hatton, props. What more do you have to prove by beating them again? I give him props for accomplishing what he's done, but he is wasting the last few years of his career by fighting guys he has nothing to prove against.

      About Hatton's one win at welterweight, few people considered that fight a smash hit. Otherwise, he would've stayed there. Him moving back down was a concession that he wasn't a welterweight.

      As far as Vladimir, ehh, it's tough to argue with someone's accountant I guess.

        Exactly..........no matter what Floyd does, he won't reach that kind of status. The best he can do is what he is doing now......"going outside the box" as he would say and appear on as many mainstream shows as possible.

          If Mayweather were to lose, how would you feel?

            I praised Floyd a lot for beating Oscar at a higher weight and beating a P4P elite in Ricky Hatton, but I cannot see any value to winning a rematch against either for him, other than monetarily.

            He needs to beat Cotto.

            He should probably beat Mosley, Margarito and Quintana too if he wants some extra gravy.

              wow, your a ****ing idiot.. no wonder your karma bar is red and no one takes you serious.


              What I was saying is:
              Because Mayweather is a prick.. he is making money but he could make more if he had a different attitude that people could like. The more people who like you the more PPV buys you get.. Hatton Mayweather could have had more PPV buys if more people liked the guy.


              Anyway, I'm done talking to you. It's obvious you are a douche bag and have the mental capacity of a rock..

                  Definietly Cotto first...He has my respect, but now it's all about keeping it.

                  You don't like yourself? Yeah don't think I forgot when you did that **** to me.

                      Forget Quintana, Mosley, Margarito, he needs to worry about legacy. Beating those guys don't mean anything against beating Cotto. Here is a fight that people are saying he can't win, and if he wins then he shuts everyone's mouth.
