    I didnt contradict myself. Again you must not have read the post, I said Id like to see them fight, but the reason it will wait is because of Cotto's prior numbers. Im just detailing why the fight is not in the near future, its because Floyd and his people want the most lucrative deals. Same reason he told Margo a couple years ago when Margo approached him why if they fought he would have to wait, because the fight would be bigger later. Baldy was Floyd's biggest guarantee at them time, Im guessing thats why he fought Baldy along with the fact that he could be the linear champ and also the biggest reason of all is that Baldy's NAME was at an all time high and it wasnt going to get any bigger because Baldy wasnt going to beat anyone else with a name at 147.
    Seems as if he had no problem taking the Baldomir fight in a flash. Why not let Baldomir get a few more wins under HIS belt so that the fight could've been bigger?

    Answer this honestly. Do u feel that Floyd's win over Baldomir would be bigger than a win over Cotto? 20yrs down the line, do u honestly think that fans and boxing historians will talk about Floyd's win over the journeyman Baldomir?

        I dont understand why people dont understand how things work. Answer this then, why do you think Floyd took the Baldy fight? Do you forget many said Baldy would be too strong that he would bully Floyd, that Floyd wont be able to knock him out. Its funny when Floyd beats people easily everybody forgets the pretalk. Of course a win over Baldy wont be bigger but fighters dont only fight for legacy, Roger said recently Floyd would fight Cotto, everybody I know who knows boxing believe Floyd will fight him, but his name isnt Money for nothing, he wants it when its at its peak. Open your eyes man, the only way Ricky would have fought Floyd 3 years ago was to get the most he could, basically cashing out because he knew a Floyd fight was the fight to get, when Floyd does that he is called scared, funny how that works.

              Well read before you respond, thats why I specifically said Cotto and Margo, you didnt see me name any other fighter.

                Pre talk from who? A small number of people? You are talking as if there was a majority doubting Floyd in his fights. Tell me something, If I search for a poll for the Baldomir fight or the Hatton and DLH fight, will I find this large number of people you were speaking about? Or will I find a poll heavily favoring Floyd? Can you show me these articles doubting Floyd's chances? Shall I post the odds for those fights as well or will you just doubt the validity of the references?

                  Floyd could hold a press conference TOMORROW and announce that he will NEVER fight Cotto because he feels its too risky a fight for him, and yet u will still find a way to defend his decisions. There is no sense in trying to open your eyes on this matter. They are welded shut when it comes to seeing through all the B.S surrounding Floyd. Going to bed now.

                    Prefight polls on this board for hatton and dlh were about 66% in favor of Floyd and 33% in favor of the opponent, in other words 2-1 which arnt heavy odds.
