    Mayweather picked to fight Hatton over Cotto. True story. If it was the other way around, Cotto's 0 would be gone instead of Hatton's.
    Hatton brought him $15 Mill, second highest pay check that was available. But you would have fought Cotto for $5 Mill right?

      Oh give me a break.

      Hatton is and was and will always be a bigger draw and PPV star then Cotto.

      The two PPV darlings are:

      Oscar and Hatton

          It does not really bother me, while the desire for a Floyd-Cotto Floyd was high, I really do not think anyone even tried to make the fight. Not bull**** press stuff I mean really trying to make it happean. We missed a second Floyd-Oscar but that really does not hurt my view.


          I am interested to see with his comeback, I am pretty sure Floyd would be called a ***** if he fights JMM then Pacman (that fight is going to be hard as hell to make so who knows if they do actually fight) but Floyd has proven he does not care about that, so it will be interesting to see if he fights someone really dangerous during his comeback.

          I think it is kind of ****** that he retired unless he needed the time off, had a huge 2007 and did nothing in 2008. His star power is still fine I think, but he certainly did not grow his star away from the ring, so really he just wasted 2 prime earning years (not to mention the prime years in the ring that he could have helped his career with).

            Oh no Dwiens, please no more red Ks. I can't take it. A 22 year old hand those out like candy is going to kill me.

              A fight with Pacquiao would of grossed more than a Hatton fight and done more for his rep.

                I might seriously take you up on that if this ****less **** doesn't leave me alone here pretty quick.

                Untrue... Hatton has always been a huge draw, and he certainly was when he fought Mayweather.

                I need to get a pic of me standing in a doorway, or with a tape measurer or something so people here can get off my ass about it.

                I'm just a tall, lanky prick.
                I'll verify this... he is that tall.

                People who fail to comprehend that money drives the sport are also brain dead.

                Floyd not fighting Cotto might be lame, but it certainly isn't ducking when there is 15 million more on the table for another fight.

                      All I heard was you slurping on Floyd's black ****.

                      I'm still awaiting a serious response.

                      And he has every damn right to feel "threatened" by Pacquiao.

                      Manny is ****ting on him at the moment. Aside from the weight drained ******.

                      If he TKO's Hatton earlier than Floyd did, like I predict (9th round), at Hatton's own weight, Floyd will look even worse.

                      Then Floyd will get all pissy and once he changes his tampon and spanks the Super Featherweight Marquez at 145, he'll call out Manny at 145 as well.

                      Another phantom weightclass fight.

                      God forbid he fight Mosley or Cotto. ****, I bet Mosley, Cotto, Williams, and Tony would still fight Floyd right now.

                      But Floyd won't do it, why?

                      They all got losses, like Ray Robinson. He wasn't ****, you know? Im'a call out Chris John instead, Philthy Rich!
