floyd makes a ton of money.good for floyd.......

[C'MONMANG']

The reason money is important for the subject of Floyd is only one reason in my mind.

I would be 100% against an Oscar rematch (there are better options), but seriously, Oscar is old, ready to retire, and is the only chance Floyd will ever get to make the kind of money he will make from the Oscar rematch.

The "crazy" amounts of money from the Hatton rematch can be made elsewhere, so I have no sympathy for the **** Mayweather will get for fighting Hatton, but I can at least go to bat a little bit for Mayweather, considering his policy of money first, glory second.

you are the worse kind of fan.......

Yes, those intelligent enough to understand the motivations of a fighter are the worst kind.

The slack-jawed ******s who proclaim Margarito as king of boxing when he doesn't have a single worthwhile name on his resume are the best kind!!!

And just to be a ****, .

Thats great. But he IS profiting from the moniker, "Best Boxer Alive" and "Ring Champion" and "P4P #1" is he not? These labels carry a certain standard which those who were named in the past met and my issue with Floyd is that he isn't doing that. In what other sport can those be considered the best, those who profit from that label, not behave in the manner of which the best do? What other sport? I understand that "thats just the way it is", but that doesn't mean we have to accept it now does it? Isn't this what created the declined in boxing? We can't be rubbing it in other fan's faces claiming how Floyd is the best and Floyd will beat anyone when he doesn't do that or prove it. If he has nothing else to prove, why not move out the way, relinquish these labels and let other fighters who are hungrier fight for them? Thats the way I see it at least.

You don't have to accept it. That's part of the debate.

I understand it because if I put myself in his shoes I would do the same, as would alot of other people.


Another thing is, I am 100% confident that he will fight Cotto in the future. Which is why accept what he is doing right now. All Cotto has to do is take care of his business while Floyd takes care of his. If they're both victorious in their upcoming fights, Cotto-Mayweather will happen in 2009.

That will be the day if Margarito wins that his fans can start saying the things they are already saying, but then it will be legitimate. I'll shut the **** up about Margarito's resume if he wins on the 26th.

But really, is Margarito worth all the attention that he gets because he beat Cintron twice and Clottey, with Clottey having quite a few moments in the first few rounds?

It has nothing to do with the motivation of a fighter with his status. It has everything to do with the responsibility of a fighter of his status.

With his stature he has a responsibility to the fans and the sport. Anything else is not to par. Anything else weakens the sport. Anything else is not how a champion should be.

Well considering I am not giving him any credit for the achievement of winning the rematch with Oscar, but am just giving him the benefit of the doubt for an extension of how long he gets before he officially is "ducking" Cotto.
