    Arum is not gonna pimp Floyd on anything and y'all gotta understand that. If TR guys want to fight Floyd they better leave top rank or prepare to take the small share period.

It ain't like Mayweather didn't contemplate his retirement during the DLH build up, yet to give it another go against Hatton, then turning down 35m for a DLH rematch. It was clear Mayweather's love for the sport either died out or he wanted his body to rest.

        He's back now, after JMM he is gonna do serious business. Mayweather will start off by leaving Marquez's lifeless body infront of Pacquiao's front door, indeed he has returned to send Pacquiao a a message, it isn't a "Decisively beat Marquez" sorta a message, its a "You'd destroyed my last two opponents, I'll destroy someone most say you didn't beat" sorta message. You people continue to say he is a "Ducker" a "*****" and so on, but none of you have the nerve to put up 1mill, in that Mayweather WILL face Pacquiao, Cotto or SSM after Marquez.
        Cotto/Mayweather made wayyy too much sense for Spring '08. That fight should have happened. But I don't think he "ducked" him, I just think it should happen.

        And he'll no doubt face Mosley before he faces Cotto....cause if Cotto beats Pac, Arum will want 50/50 and Floyd won't give into that. If Pac beats Cotto, Arum will want more than 50% and Floyd sure as **** aint gonna give in to that.

        So he'll take a 60/40 split and do easier business with Schafer. That is what will happen. Floyd/Mosley is next for Floyd, no doubt about it.

          Margarito wouldve mangled his little ass.

          Thats why Money Gay turned down 8 mill.

            Margarito is too freaking slow, no foot speed, no hand speed, no defense, punches too wide. It would have been one of those so called "Boring U.D"

              I agree, Mayweather vs Cotto made alot of sense but I knew his heart was no longer in it, especially when you turn down 35m to rematch DLH. Regardless of all the crap anyone would take, you DON'T turn down 35m.

                He would've done Floyd like Castillo did, but worse.

                  Can't totally justify his greatness either if thats the case.

                      JLC is ALOT better then Margarito. JLC was great in the inside, worked his way in with punches, had the hand speed, foot speed, footwork, good at cutting the ring, power, chin, stamina...Margarito was all durability, size and an accumilative puncher. You should be ashamed comparing Margarito to JLC, seriously you should.
