Would Floyd Get A Pass For Fighting Gomez And Jennings?

[Mary Jane]

Cotto gets a pass because he is a low-skilled fighter and is not expected to take on top P4P fighters as tune up's/comeback fights, Imho. There would be no end to the Mayweather hate if he would have used such fighters as confident builders.

JMM>Jennings, Gomez

Good post.

What about Jennings? What about always winning vacant titles? I wonder what kind of bum Miguel would find after an 18 month break. He'd probably ask me to get in the ring.

Puerto Rico is the USA's stepchild

You're a child. What's worse is you don't know what you're talking about.

Floyd wouldn't take a shortcut to a title if he just got his ass kicked? Get outta here. I love Floyd but ****** people like you make him hard to like sometimes.

Cotto shouldn't have fought Gomez, I conceded that. But Cotto got his ass kicked and came back to fight a tuneup, and get a title. A title that would give him leverage in future negotiations. This is a business after all.

Know what you're talking about before you come after me, son.

LOL, oh so it's business now? So let's see here, Cotto can fight bums, but Floyd can't fight JMM. Cotto can take fight that are business first, but Floyd can't take fights that will make him millions more than other ones. Did I miss anything, inbred?

I got nothing against Floyd fighting JMM, but I have a problem with him trying to bring him up so high above 140.

I know it's a business, don't confuse me with others.

And why is this even about Floyd/JMM. This is about Cotto. The Jennings fight made sense at the time.

Floyd/JMM can make sense, as long as it's not at 145.

[The Hammer]

Floyd's faced some opponents on the same level or worse than those guys, such as the shot Gatti, who was KOed by Gomez too.

Cotto doesn't go around saying he's the GOAT the way Floyd has. We would expect the GOAT to face opponents his own size, and not force little guys like JMM to move up and fight at an unnatural weight.

The Jennings fight made no sense at all, it was just a comeback fight.

Floyd/JMM can make sense, as long as it's not at 145.

Floyd/JMM can make sense anywhere, even at 160. It doesn't matter, it's a tune-up.

[Texanballer]

Sure why not. He fought guys like Henry Bruseles.

[Kevin Jesus]

not force little guys like JMM to move up and fight at an unnatural weight.

JMM was going to 140 regardless, he's just going 3 or 4 pounds north of where he was going to stay at.

Sure why not. He fought guys like Henry Bruseles.

Second fight at 140, Floyd was nowhere near the fighter he is today popularity wise.

Do you see the hypocrisy in that?(unless that was on purpose) The Jennings fight was a comeback/tuneup and it made no sense.

JMM/Floyd can make sense at any weight cause it's a tuneup/comeback fight.


A title fell into Cotto's lap. It would have been ****** for him to pass on that. Floyd fans should be able to agree with that as long as they're not blind haters.

JMM/Floyd is ok by me, but I just don't think Floyd should be making JMM come up too far from 140. That's perfectly reasonable.

Floyd KO's him either way.
