    Oh and floyd is like this big giant draw that is loved and adored by fans LOL!!!

    Cotto at this point still is a bigger draw than Floyd.

      It needs to happen at 140 or not at all.

        he should only be fighting guys with the same skill set that he has from here on out and anything less is a crock of ****.
        Truthfully, I think he has mastered Defense and I dont beleive that in his "prime" that any righty maybe in history can hit him clean. Thats why I really want to see this fight. Even if you think he's 10x bigger then JMM, I still think he will prove in the fight that he was just an overall much more skilled fighter and would win no matter what. I think the only way he loses in his prime is for a guy to be so much bigger & stronger to where he cant do anything but pot shot or you have to be a Southpaw and just catch him. I dont think a righty will hit him clean right now. I will say this though. If there is any righty that could hit him clean then it would be JMM because no one can throw a precise punch straight down the pipe like JMM. Im really looking forward to seeing that

          You cant be serious about that. There's a reeason why Cotto always fights in NY. He only gets PR's to come watch his fights. He wont sell any PPV's. Floyd gets the PPV numbers

            Thats fine but until he actually gets in the ring with a fighter thats actually in his same class your theory can never be proven.

              He gets the PPV numbers because of Hatton and De La hoya's fans. Just because he was part of the biggest PPV in history doesn't mean that it was his fan's who bought the fight.

              The only real PPV mayweather carried was against Baldomir and that fight was about as successful as Margarito VS Cotto.

              Face it Floyd is an average PPV draw at best.

              And yes cotto may only get PR to watch his fights but seriously what would PBF draw in his adopted hometown if he fought Michael Jennings? couple thousand maybe??

                  Not to mention that the entire ****ing arena walked out on Baldomir/Mayweather.

                      dont need to. just the opening sentences with "the haters" is enough to let me know what this thread is all about. its no different from 99.9% of your other threads.

                      Floyd = scared to fight at 135-140.
