BUT if you read the article, it was Floyd that didn't want to fight Cotto ....... what more do you want?

You sir are in denial!

of course arum dont want none of floyd... you're a sick minded phuck to even think like that... pacman on the other hand will eat floyd for breakfast lunch and dinner... thats why floyd demanded OST for a easy fight easy work easy money right?? compare to all of floyds BIG fights in the pass he never asked for it, strange..........

Not even YOU yourself believe that. But you're allowed to keep dreaming.

Floyd called Freddie, Manny's AND Ariza's bluff.

He did it to prove 2 points:

1)He'll beat Manny in spectacular fashion

2)Manny does know what Ariza mixes in with his supplements

But keep dreaming. It's all you know how to do.

You can only base your record upon the guys you've fought. Floyd at 130-135 fought the best guys that were available at the time for him. I mean you can't say Castillo and Corrales were sub par opponents. Though the 1st Castillo fight is questionable, he still pulled out a victory and went on to win a second fight with Castillo which was a lot more lob sided, and he made Corrales look out of his league.

The reason Floyd is hated now by so many critics, boxing analysts, etc is because he's put himself on this pedestal after beating Oscar that grants him nothing but big money fights. Now of course, that's totally understandable and well deserved for Floyd.

But where the problem lies is with the decisions he's making now as the self proclaimed "Draw". Once De La Hoya became the draw he still continued to fight the best guys out there. He was the figurehead of the sport as Mayweather is today. But it's obvious Mayweather's camp are choosing the best fights possible for him to look good in. Call it great managing, but most Boxing fans don't see it like that.

I believe if Floyd would fight guys like Mosley, Margarito, or Cotto it would make him that much better and more respected. If you're the draw, then fighting those guys won't be an issue cause the check is gonna be there AND he will get the bigger purse, so really...why doesn't Floyd fight the best if he is the best? It ain't like he's 42 yrs old.

Damn, talk about memory lane lol.

It's already well known Arum refused to entertain paying Floyd the amount of money he requested for Cotto when the fight really mattered, and thought the amount Floyd wanted for Oscar was preposterous.

Check your facts before writing.

It's the truth. Arum thought and was hoping with fingers crossed (like many Pac fans) Shane would beat Floyd. It was disappointing when that didn't work. We understand.
