    we're a few months shy of 2010,

    so when is it going to start?
    Im not going to blame you because it's not your fault but would you fight one of the best who everyone is pressuring you to fight who offers alot of money (wich floyd is gonna obviously pick) or cotto who ain't want none at 140.You should acknowledge the fact he beat a solid true 154 pounder who would beat every other 154 pounder and ODLH brings money to the table.

      Fight Quintana, fight Berto, fight Abregu, fight Brook, fight Collazo, hell even Steve Forbes.......point is, come back after a 2 yr layoff, do a "tune-up" fight to get your **** back, take a 80/20 cut from whatever purse the fight would've been, and wait for the Elite's to sort each other out then step in and make your money again.....

      But coming back to fight Marquez, making a reported $15mili while giving Marquez $3-5mili, making him come up to WW, and Floyd being the "stronger, faster, younger etc.." just doesn't do it for me as a fan. Don't get me wrong...I will be watching on Sept. 19th....but at a buddy's expense...

      Discuss?
      Would you have respected Floyd more if he came out of retirement and fought and KO'd the guy who KO'd Pacquaio early in his career? Would that prove a point to you and the other haters on this site?

          Margarito, Cotto, Shane?

          What happened?


          Floyd doesn't need to worry about what they bring to the table in terms of sales because hes a "megastar" and "cash cow" and we all know when you're those,

          you can carry a fight by your name alone.

            He'd have a hard time selling tickets even if he fought a 147 pounder...especially when you factor in the layoff

            Floyd can sell tickets...but he aint no DLH

            Fighting Marquez was most likely a shot at Pac and he could say he beat the #2 guy on the P4P list...

                What does 2009 have to do with 2007 and 2008?

                Nothing.

                Floyd regarding Shane, "I don't fight sparring partners".

                Regarding Cotto, "he needs to get his PPVs up"


                Keep trying and I'll keep shutting you down.



                lol "everyone demanding the DLH fight",

                who demanded that?
