Mayweather Jr. Defends Choice of De La Hoya Over Cotto

[VIVA MEXICO!!]

Look *****, Boxing is about boxing. Toe to toe, technically skilled it's all good to me. One is not better than that other. You using words like "coward" just shows what a insecure ***** you are.

I don't have small **** latino machismo so I can appreciate it all. That and I actually know what I'm talking about and I'm not a nationalistic racist like you.

would you rather watch a pacquiao fight or a mayweather fight??

I'd watch both. I'm a fan of both guys. Unlike you I can appreciate the nuances of what Floyd does, since you know I actually boxed. Oh and I actually score defense. I'd be interested in both equally, but depends on who they are fighting as well.

Nice Job Floyd....you irritated alot of fans with those comments.

Some of you guys are so easy.

The thing is which means floyd can keep doing this is becuase...

If, like everyone is, sick of floyd supposedly not fighting the best out there, then after a while all boxing fans wouldn't give a **** about him, but the 2 boxers which he plans to fight, hatton and de la hoya, have the biggest following. This means that even if only hatton and de la hoya fans paid to watch etc then this would still make him more money than any other fight.

Basically as long as hatton and de la hoya are around with massive fan base, then he'll carry on milking it.

IMO, PBF-ODLH 2 should not sell as well as the first one. Hatton 2 will be even more of a failure and much much more meaningless. Fan base alone is not enough. Whomever still thinks Hatton has a chance and pays to watch the fight must be legally ******ed.

Ray Robinson pretty much did the same thing as Floyd.Robinson Avoided numerous quaility black fighters in favor of more profitable white fighters and he even admitted it.

Hatton - Mayweather II would be even bigger, 55,000 for lazcano remember. In all seriousness there is not one venue that could cope with the demand that this would generate here in the UK.

I would like it to be at wembley (if it was to happen) 15 mins from home and the atomsphere would never been topped in the history of boxing.

Floyd aint ****.. period. Gatti, Baldomir, Hatton? "I'm the greatest.. I beat Hatton, Gatti, Baldomir and Delahoya." Gimme a break.. he aint ****. Fight Cotto, Margarito or Winky at 154 then your legit. Not the long list of scrubs who held titles. If you look at his record he aint ****.

what do you mean by he ain't ****..............like.........he ain't **** at what..........or is it just he aint ****?????.......lol...........snicker.......

mayweather.........maybe if pac fought a contender in his prime he'd get more props..........but he is fighting used, old men, and getting overrated props.........the closest he came to fighting a prime fighter is jmm in their first fight........everyone else was ring old..........look who he is fighting now...........david diaz..............what a joke.........what happened to guzman or valero??????........i hope none of you say the things you say about valero when floyd fans say the same thing about cotto..........lol..........pac is a tough guy.........i like to watch him.........but i'll watch floyd over pac any day........and i'll watch margs and cotto over pac any day..........ill watch calzaghe over pac any day...........and ill watch izzy vasquez over pac any day.........now this can change when pac fights a true threat..........

CARLISLE is a badd man. Be careful what you say to him. He even would slap Floyd around. What do you think he's going to do with somebody like you. I mean he is going to do that what 39 professional trained athletes couldn't do. He's a bad man...

In all seriousness... that's the reason why I can't take these Haters serious (I'm not talking about ppl who bring criticism on a factly basis). The ppl who can not even say two words without being one of them a word that you shouldn't say before you kids are in bed.

On a personal note... you shouldn't let hate rule your life man... because soon your only do things because of hatred and it ain't good.
