      Any pac fight against any elite would sell. Stop swinging by Floyds nutsack.
      let's be real... floyd fought in front of 1000 paid customers when he fought sharmba mitchell and bruseles. pac fought in front of 14,000 fans when he fought jorge solis

        are u kidding bro. just because u read it or heard it doesnt mean they actually offered it or it was a serious offer. U need some seasoning on the history & tactics of boxing negotiations. Cotto would never say no to a floyd jr. fight. Team floyd might have offered cotto a fight (ive never heard or read anything) w/ a low ball offer knowing it was gonna get denied, then brag about ohh we offrered cotto so & so but they said no.

        All utter BS.

        Give me a link at least..

          I say a fight at 140 would be good. or even a catch weight at 142-143. that way when he wins he could actually go for the lineal title at 140 against the winner of Pac-Hatton. or maybe he wants the fight at WW because he finally wants to give Mosley the beating hes been trying to do since 1999. take a warm up at WW then fight the champ at WW

            If Paul Williams could make 147 still, Mayweather would be ****ting a brick right now. Who has floyd faced who has an 83 inch reach and knows how to use it to whoop his opponents ass?

                Funny how these Floyd stans were talking **** about DLH fighting Pac but now turn it around and accept Floyd fighting a smaller guy in Marquez. Floyd don't want none from the true WWs.

                    thats why ppl dont know about Mayweather or just started watching him. after the Gatti fight he wanted to fight Hatton for the lineal champ, but Hatton backed down. so he told Arum let me fight Cotto to unify the titles and Arum said HELL NO YOU'LL KILL HIM. he sure would've, thats why Cotto and Hatton was at the Gatti fight because Mayweather wanted to fight either one and both ducked him so he moved up in weight. how long have some of you guys been watching Mayweather??? I thought everybody knew that. probably dont even know that Mayweather tried to fight Mosley in 1999

                      floyd has no balls whatsoever. askin to fight a career feather @ welter.....
                      You ****heads disgust me... First off rookie.. JMM called Floyd out.

                      And its really damn funny how all the PR and Mex posters on here try and say all this negative stuff about Floyd simply because they like Miguel Cotto. Everytime you look at a negative post about Floyd and look at the pic of the poster.... its always a PR little ***** hater. Its annoying... PR has, and has always had great champions yet somehow it seems you don't know how to recognize any other champions... Mex boxers are also great in their own respect but you mutha****az are soo damn annoying with this crying stuff.. All I hear from you guys is crying and moaning... "excuses, he runs, he is ducking, Cotto is cooler, he lost to Castillo, Judah scored a knockdown"... Well guess what??? who gives a crap??? At the end of the day.. He IS the MAN and everyone in this damn website knows that deep inside.. the only boxer alive that has no lapses, no weaknesses, no deficiencies....period. Support your countrymen and your fav boxers but stay OBJECTIVE. Don't come with this weak "he is ducking" stuff.. He wanted Cotto back then and Arum said "he is still too green".... TRANSLATION: I think he will lose. Mosley hid behind a toothache twice and all of a sudden now Mayweather should submit to them... Cotto has never once called out Floyd.. He don't want that. Instead of making all this noise on here you should implore your fighter to call out Floyd. Interestingly enough.. JMM has more balls than Miguel as far as I'm concerned because he called Floyd out and Floyd always reacts to personal "call outs" (like Hatton). But Miguel lately has dissappointed me... He never wanted to fight Tony... Tony supposedly "earned" that fight.. But really it was magical Bob's plan to keep the money in-house. Miguel was scared that whole fight, tried to fight going backwards and got folded up. He left the style he knew to accomodate the fact he was facing Margo... A true champ don't adjust his game because of his challenger. He is supposed to fight HIS fight which was to sit in the pocket and body punch and counter Margo. And of course I do realize that with all the mess with the wraps and Tony.. But remember... Tony also TOOK all of Cotto's best shots and kept coming with a smile on his face (the wraps couldn't have helped there). And then Miguel goes over to pick up Paul Williams' old belt. Ha!!!!! he never wanted it when PAUL had it. LMFAO.. Paul is a true middleweight anyway. But the whole thought process is still suspect to me. Who the hell was Michael Jennings?? that was a joke... I know you all are dissappointed in him too but don't take it out on Floyd cuz it won't turn Cotto's 1 back to a 0. JMM gets props for wanting the fight but like GRUSTLER said... why the hell would you call him out and completely rule out fighting him at 147?? Marquez has always exceeded my expectations so I think it could be an interesting fight for Floyd's comeback... But don't sleep on a Collazo fight because word on the street is that if this one falls through then he might be plan B.. Call of Duty awaits... Im out..
