De La Hoya: "The Pressure is On Floyd Mayweather Jr"

[daggum]

dude ur analogys suck....

what does Berto winning titles from those dudes have to do with mayweather winning his titles from the UNDISPUTED WW champ?

cause berto would be undisputed champ duh but he would still suck and have beaten nobody. aka baldomir.

[GRUSTLER]

its not Mayweathers fault at how the WW Belts exchanged hands...Forest had them...then Mayorga took them..Spinks took them from Mayorga....Zab took them from Spinks.....Baldo took them from Zab.....

Mayweather beat Zab & Baldo

Man Clottey & Cotto werent even big names at the Time Mayweather was fighting at WW....Cotto was fighting Malignaggi that year @ 140...lol....so why would he fight Cotto to prove he was the best?...LMAO!!!

get ur facts straight

Cotto/Margarito/Clottey/Williams weren't even big names
or threats because they were just starting to step up. Floyd
had already been in 3 divisions prior to WW. Cotto wasn't
even ready for Floyd and even Arum said that. Why would
Floyd be scared of guys he was ahead of? Timing and status
didn't allow these fights to happen.

[prsi]

The question is, does Floyd leapfrog Pacquiao in the P4P ranks if he wins easily since it was apparent that Marquez gave Pac all he could handle twice?

He will go over Pacquiao only if he Pacquiao loses to Cotto, If both PBF and Pacman win their fight Pacquaio accomplishment will be greater than PBF's and therefore the gap between each other for the p4p king will increase.

Hey, joto was a jr. middleweight who challenged PAC-MAN a jr. lightweight, and it was ALL OK!!! By everybody, including the money hungry boxing commission. Now PBF is fighting JJM and your saying he's fighting a smaller dude???? Bi*ch *ss joto does it, and it's OK! The best fighter in the WORLD does it and it and it isn't???? WTF!!!!

Wrong, Cotto is a WW and Pacquiao had fought his last 2 fights at, or over Jr. WW. By the way it was Pacquiao who asked for the fight to be made and Cotto agreed.

Uh Oh!
Dare I say he was called out by PW also? But I wont becuz its old and tired like the shyt u all spout against threats to ur fav fighter i.e. PW. Lol!!!

Paul has called out lots of fighters and Cotto has said he would fight whoever his promoter put in front of him. But the fact is that Pacman will bring a lot more money to the table than Paul. I do admit that Paul will be a great risk for Cotto, becasue of his workrated and reach.

i'm not saying he should have fought cotto then. i'm just saying it's a strange coincidence when the good guys come to welter mayweather go a running away. beating baldomir and judah alright good wins at the time but then these top guys come along and destroy them as well and floyd disappears.

now he's coming back which is cool cause i like watching him fight but he's being ridiculous fighting marquez. he already had his last fight against a small dude. cotto was the best challenger before floyd retired and he fought hatton instead. now mosley, cotto, and pac are the best and he's doing it all over again fighting marquez. seems like he's playing his fans for fools.

dude..Mayweather and Cotto were promoted both by Arum...Arum didnt want to put Cotto in with Mayweather.....lol...

Mayweather was already P4P # 1 when he retired....he didnt run away...he let those guys make some money...so he could come back and make more money by fighting them NOW.....lol@ him being scared

what small dude did he have a fight against?..you man Hatton..who has more fight in his entire career at 140 & Up than Mayweather does?...and Hatton was P4P # 5 in the world...undefeated.......Marquez is a tune up fight....(its funny the guy who gave Pac fits and is P4P #2 in the world is a Tune up)....wait so let me get this right...

he can fight the Lightweight Pacquiao but not the lightweight Marquez?

ta da! and you finally get it! when they became big names floyd disappeared. now he's coming back and doing what? not fighting them! kinda funny huh.

[Jiddu Dali]

cause berto would be undisputed champ duh but he would still suck and have beaten nobody. aka baldomir.

the thing is Mayweather didnt beat 3 nobodies with Belts....he beat THE man with all the belts....& the Man that was beat by THE man so there wasnt any confusion

[Machingo69]

I know thats right. But If JMM wins how funny will that be

Thats' exactly what's going to happen with Pacquiao... If Cotto wins, how funny will that be....

Mosley fought Cotto around the time Floyd and
Hatton agreed to fight. Wasn't Mosley/Cotto in
November 07 and Floyd/Hatton in December 07?
And remember, prior to that, Floyd moved up to 154
and fought Oscar for his title. I highly doubt that
Floyd is scared of Cotto? We all know Floyd tried
to fight Mosley twice and that is documented.

pac is bigger than marquez and has fought at 140 and 147. marquez hasn't even fought there. pac is p4p number 1 and clearly ten times better than hatton. a worthy fight.

is marquez really a "tune up" or is it a classic case of treading water till the real threats lose.
