Pavlik/Calzaghe insn't as attractive to the general public as Cotto vs. Margarito regardless of the nationalistic implications. Lets be real here.
    Thank you. You make very good points. but these people are obviously from the uk therefore looking at the facts is not an option for them.

      He's not

      Why is Cotto getting his highest payday to fight him?

      His fame is rising

      Since when do "BUMS" headline in Vegas?

      4th November 2006

      Since when do 'BUMS" headline PPV's?

      See above.

      Since when do bums get paid 3 million dollars to fight?

      Again, see above.

      Why has he been ranked in the top ten WW longer then anyother current WW?

      Because he held the WBO belt and therefore didn't have to fight anyone of real significance.
      Of course he's not a bum. Here on BS it seems as if there are only 2 types of boxers, bums or P4P. It's wank how little credit fighters get on here, and how ****ing ****** 90% of posters here are.

        Yes, and the quote you have from me explains why I am still laughing at his ******ity. He tried to mock that fight, I pointed out Kessler earned more than the Mexican will.

          I do actually realise he's not a bum but he is the most overrated fighter on here and the points the OP made were just ******.

                  Why would you want to point that out? Mexican fighters have contribute much to the sport of boxing and at times have carried the sport during its darkest times. If anything, one should be commenting on how grossly underpaid Mexican fighters are when taking into consideration what they do for the sport.

                    It has to do with you saying Calzaghe can't draw. You claimed his fanbase was nowhere near the size of Hatton's but we quickly established that Calzaghe has a huge fanbase, though admittedly not as big as Hatton's. You then tried to slag Calzaghe's fight with Kessler so I pointed out that Kessler earned more than Margarito will. You made a comment, I offered a response.
