Should Cotto have turned down the Mayweather offer back at 140?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

That's how...

Cotto is FAR more entertaining that boring ass Floyd...

Which would mean that Cotto is either an idiot (and his nine vocal fans, too)or Floyd is a genius. Floyd is selling more by fighting guys like Baldomir than Cotto sells fighting Shane and margarito. True Story.

BTW, Here's a poster's quote re Cotto/Oscar:

I know Oscar is past his prime but he is still a force with that hook. I don't think Cotto is a better boxer or stronger so what gives?


You are clowning yourself. Stop it.

[COACH WEBB]

That's how...

Cotto is FAR more entertaining that boring ass Floyd...

Laying on the ropes all fight with his hands up holding on for dear life protecting that untested chin of his...

A strong breeze might knock that ***** out for all we know.

doesn't the ref say..."PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES"...you are really reaching with this last post...give it up...its called DEFENSE. Untested chin? he has been hit with some good flush shots and took them well...compare when Zab hit him and when Zab hit Cotto...then u tell me who chin is better?

Your point with that quote? I didn't say NOBODY said Oscar could beat Floyd. But you make it seem like the Cotto fans jumped for joy when the possibility of the fight was announced as if it were the fight to seal the deal on his legacy. I honestly don't give much of a **** for an Oscar/Cotto fight being that we all know who would win that ****.

Cotto/Margarito > Cotto/Oscar

In my opinion...

With Cotto/Margarito these two both have something to fight for...

For pride of country...

Oscar is fighting for what? To pocket another $30,000,000?

He'll come in and fight a very safe fight and get killed by Cotto...

Quoting King in post #109:

Dios...

Can you find a quote from ANYONE saying which displays the sentiment you created above? Nobody even remotely thinks that Oscar will be a challenge.

Just so you know: Gods > Kings. Now stop yourself. Please.

[KING •]

Sure copy and paste what makes your **** look good...

If you read the ENTIRE post I made you can understand the context...

As sure as the night darkens the skies, there comes a time when Gods must die...

I'm sooooooo deep...

And who is he going to fight during those years? Berto?

We alreday saw that his Shane fight was a commercial dud, and his Margarito fight will do even less.

Unless Cotto fights Oscar, he will be in need of a major "A side" star.

Why is it that you only seem to think in terms of PPV sales or how much a fight will make? You sound like either a businessman, Floyd Mayweather or a bore.

Wouldn't you just rather see the best fights made instead of discussing endless PPV stats and utterly useless similar facts. Who really gives a **** who is the draw or how much some fighter made with numbers on a PPV!

Would you rather sit discussing why Mayweather won't fight Cotto due to PPV numbers or would you just rather see the damn fight? Seriously man, Mayweather is the most boring businessman boxer ever. Only serious Mayweather fans go along with all his "If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense" BS. I mean, c'mon, do you really buy into all that crap just because you like Mayeather? As a fan of his wouldn't you rather see him fight everyone out there? All everyone seems to hear from Mayweather fans is useless stats about PPV's and other utterly pointless crap which no boxing fan should really give the slightest ****e about.

Don't you just want to see them fight?

He'll get a reply. It just won't be relevant to the points he has made.

I am. And I have openly said that. What was your point again?
