What would FMJr. be proving seriously.

if this is true then hopkins should get no credit for beating tito and dlh.

Tito and De La hoya weren't the same fighters they were fighting at another wieight. tito especially came chubby to the fight out of shape, he doesn't know how to go up in weight with eating chocolate bars.

Sure but we as FANS need to be realistic about what fights can be made..

Williams

People come in here and make fun about Williams not being a draw and not having fans..then turn around and say Floyd should fight him....umm why>???...He doesnt draw remember....so Floyd will not fight him..hell I want to see the otheres WELTERS fight Paul...Cotto hasnt yet and SSM blatantly said he cant beat Paul.

Mosley

After SSM kod Vargas and Floyd beat Baldi this was the fight that mattered....Merchant asked SSM numerous time why wont you fight Floyd?..SSM said he neede a vacation...he said he had a toothache and he said he needed to see a dentist......interstingly enough that following friday on Friday Night Fights he said hed fight Margarito in a heartbeat...Wait did I miss something...Shane is also 37 and past it...and the second Floyd is announced the winner EVERYONE will say well if shane was prime he would win or they will say that shane being old is the only reason Floyd won.

Cotto

Believe it or not this fight was offere to Cotto and ASrum at 140 pounds...THEY DECLINED.

Floyd went on ESPN and said hed love to fight Cotto......but that he wont work with Arum.....because hes a snake....further proof of that is evient when Arum says that Pac will get a 60-40 split to fight Floyd...ridicouous...he knows Floyd wont sign and will price Manny out.

I'll bet Floyd will try to convince Arum so he can fight Pacquiao, but never Cotto.

Shane doesnt want it.....shane only wants the payday and Floyd aint buying it.

I think Cotto wants to fight Floyd...its Arum whos messing things up....hes even trying to PUT cOTTO VS. pAC TO GET ALL THE MONEY FOR TOP RANK.

aRUM IS FOUL.

The second Cotto fires him...Cotto vs. Mayweather wil happen ASAP.

I feel that. Arum looks out for himself and his promoting company first. Thats why ive said and ill keep saying Pacquiao isnt ducking Marquez. Its Arum trying to milk Pacquiao and his fan base before he puts him in the ring again with a fighter like Marquez. Why split the revenue with GBP when he can line up Pac vs. Cotto and stage a big event.

Good thread. Pac and JMM are the top 2 fighters right now, but Mr boat buyer beatin the top WW's does more for him simply cuz those guys are more of a challenge. Pretty simple stuff. Tough luch convincing his ****suckers to accept that tho.

Does more for who? The idiots on this forum? Or the general public? two different things friend.

I'll bet Floyd will try to convince Arum so he can fight Pacquiao, but never Cotto.

Chances are, Pac will be put in with Cotto and if that doesn't work out because Pac demands Floyd instead, Arum will pull a Klitschko and have Floyd sign a contract to fight both Pac and then Cotto.

Which will actually please a lot of fans.

Back to the topic of JMM:

Once JMM name was mentioned it was pretty obvious what Floyd was doing:

Minor reason:
Fighting JMM would be a good tune-up because of the size relation even though JMM isn't as small as people make him out to be considering we are talking about Floyd...and, JMM is a very good fighter ranked #2 P4P. JMM isn't a heavy pressure fighter so if Floyd does show signs of the lay-offs, JMM shouldn't be able to push him so hard that Floyd loses from being tired...which is a scary thought for him because a tired fighter in his position may likely quit instead of getting knocked out the proper way. Age, inactivity, mental questions at this stage........not good.

MAIN REASON:
Floyd wants "get-back" for Pac destroying Oscar and people making a big deal out of it. Floyd wants to take Pac's best win/draw/controversial as well, and piss on it. This way, it's calling out Pac to come and fight him and if he doesn't, well, he beat JMM in greater fashion. Of course, Floyd has to school JMM and KO him to finish it off...which might not be as easy as some seem to think it will be.

JMM should help him setup a fight with Pac and serve as a good promotion tool.
