      Oh someone's changed their name again. And so what if MMA would have beaten boxing for PPV in 2007. I'm guessing WWE beats Boxing in PPV every year. Doesn't mean ****, they're totally different en******.

        Boxing is about the best fighting the best PERIOD. No ifs or but.
        Boxing to boxers is a job, naturally you try and make as much money as possible. You think if I'm stepping in the ring and getting hit and shi I'm going to care about people's entertainment. All fighters put money first just that ''entertaining paths'' lead to money for some fighters.

        De La Hoya and Hatton were big money fights. Cotto wouldn't make Mayweather the money those two did and more than likely if Mayweather fought Cotto people would say he ducked Hatton.

          Well you supported Cotto so maybe you should ask yourself the same question.

              Why do they continue to pay his wages?

              Like I said on the previous page he has had what 2 boring fights Oscar and Baldomir. You say it isn't hate speaking but when you're being illogical and bias it only points to one thing.

              You speak about him having a cherry picked career, I asked you to compare his resume to Mike Tyson's.

              You say he treats his fans like something he wipes on his shoe, I now ask you how? I read up on the guy organising Turkey drives for the poor people in his old area that doesn't really sound like someone who treats his fans like ****.

              You speak of his attitude? It's called a persona the fact that he trains so hard for a match and goes in with seriousness and focus shows he is not as arrogant as he leads others to believe.

                No the guy just has no class, and you can see where he gets from when you listen to his uncle and father.

                Not all people pay to see him lose. People also pay to watch a good competitive fight.

                His theads get hits because there are "so called Boxing fans'" out there that actually have the audacity to claim they are Boxing fans yet contradict that notion by supporting his actions inside and outside the ring, thats why people get vexed.


                Dont come that cop out "hate" If he fought the best fighters out there no one would be bothered what he did.

                I cant see how someone can justify being a fan of this guy. If they are a fan of Boxing and care about the welfare of the sport you would not condone his actions. Yet most of his fans do, they make excuses for him to.

                Some fighters enhance the reputation of the sport. Floyd had devalued the reputation of the sport. Some legacy eh.

                Boxing is about the best fighting the best PERIOD. No ifs or but.
                You can tell you dislike him due to you making constant threads about him and bashing him... you can't say "If your a Floyd fan how can you call yourself a Boxing fan" because that's unfair, we all have our different favorites and that's that... truth is, in my opinion, Floyd could do everything you asked him to successfully and people would still bash him for it.

                Cotto has a chance but was too young (fair enough), Mosley had loads of chances... but they are still two fighters I want to see him fight out of retirement, along with Maybe Pacquiao (JMM a tune-up fair enough)... even if he fought two of those guys would you be happy?

                Floyd plays the bad guy, and plays it well... as you can see after every fight he is respectful to his opponent, that tells you what guys he is more... Boxing is a business, were you gotta make money, him playing the bad guy makes him more money.

                  Dont give us that **** about taking punishment, its a dangerous sport you accept the risks when you take it up for a living, BECAUSE you have the opportunity to make so much money.

                  As if the fans should be sympathetic about a guy who is ducking legit challenges.

                  When he puts on some bull**** PPV and they are shelling their hard earned cash they should be thinking......yeah we cant expect him to fight this guy because we are not the ones getting hit.........GTFOH with that dumb ****.

                      This guy is ******. People loved the Hatton/PBF showdown. It’s shown two different aspect of the boxing world. A quiet loveable champ compared a loud mouth champion with two complete different styles. Most people who watched the 24/7 and the fight LOVED Floyd after the fight.

                      Unlike people who paid to watch Cotto quit
