The three most talked about fighters in the sport today are Floyd, Pacquiao and Cotto. Cotto is going after the biggest star in the sport today in Pacquiao, as opposed to rematching a very good, yet less marketable name in Clottey. Much like Oscar went after a huge fight in Trinidad as opposed to another good, but less attractive rematch with Quartey.

    If you don't get it I don't know if I can say anything else to help you.
    Hate makes them blind man, i got what you were saying and totally agree

        The Oscar vs Quartey scenario is a good example why Clottey won't get a rematch (right away at least). Quartey was a great opponent, but Trinidad was waiting on the other end. Oscar would've been a fool not to take the Tito fight.

        Now I agree Quartey put up a better fight down the stretch than Clottey did with Cotto as far as staying busy.

        Clottey IMO will get fights though, and I'm hearing he wants Paul Williams?? Interesting...

          Yes, Clottey deserves an IMMEDIATE rematch.
          if you felt glen johnson deserved a rematch w/ dawson, clottey most definitely deserves one in this case....

          difference between the two fights, is that dawson won more rounds than johnson, and clottey won more rounds than cotto.

            Of course he deserves a rematch but i wouldnt say immediate i mean every boxer looks for that fight that not only will make big money but can elevate your status and this is that fight . But wat really interrests me is what two fighters will be left standing . Cotto & floyd , Pac & Floyd! this is getting good!!!

                When you lose a super bowl in a close game, do you immediatly get a rematch? NO!

                I dont care how many threads you *****S make on the subject, Cotto is getting Manny and one of these guys status is going to blow thru the roof while Floyd sits on the side line saying put me in coach. Fact is, YOUR BOY should have never left the game. It was there for the taking on a silver platter but he was too much of a coward to man up. It is Floyd who is now going to have to go thru the Clotteys, the Mosleys and the Margaritos.

                And since everyone knows now that Floyd cant draw flies, he will be shunned and they will do the same thing to him, which he did to others.

                  No you deserve a rematch if the fight is close or something happens against your favour. If Cotto lost the match, I'd say he deserved a rematch because one he should have won the fight and two he had a severe cut above the eye.

                  If you cannot convincingly beat someone who is fighting with one eye I don't think you have grounds to say you deserve a rematch. Start from scratch and earn the right to fight said person again.

                    If Floyd fought a guy right now and it was too close, he would give the guy a rematch. I say that because he has been in a situation where he was questioned if he really beat JCC. To PROVE himself, he fought him IMMEDIATELY and beat JCC again.
