    DIOS:

    "After Gatti beats Baldomir, does that mean that Floyd will have to fight Gatti (again) for the WBC Welterweight crown?"

      At least in my case.
      Yeah. I also feel strongly that boxing is a sport that centers on intangibles. In a close fight people wonder: who wants it more? Who has the "killer instinct"? We're going to hear many personal judgements about passion, heart, or aggresion when it comes to some upcoming fights people see as evenly match; like Pavlik-Abraham if it comes off, or even for many people Cotto-Margarito. When people can't really decide whom they think is better of two men, they often turn to those intangibles. Watch for it. Stuff like-

      "Pavlik is going to take it to Abraham. He just got on top and wants to represent Youngstown and make it proud." How do we know that? I mean really.

      "Margarito is going to KO Cotto late because he's not going to stop until he's dead in there. The Williams fight tarnished him and he's going to come out like the Tijuana Tornado he is!" Really? How the hell do we know if Margarito has hurt pride from his last loss?

      Such sentiments often cause people to make ill-advised choices- or at least unwarranted ones.

        I'm loving your honesty, dude. I wish more guys on here would fess up.

        Notice how NOBODY on here had picked Hatton? Isn't that odd?

            I argued on here that Hatton had a chance. But I bet all of my points on Floyd. A few of the really strong cheerleaders for Hatton no longer post here, or do so under alts.

                  I picked Angel Manfredy to beat Floyd mayweather junior lol. I thought Floyd was a fraud like mel taylor. Boy was i wrong. He made me a fan after that fight was over.
