I do think he's a greedy mofo, that's why I dont support him and not willing to pay cent to watch him fight until he takes on top fighters who have a chance in there with him.
    LW's there has only been one... stop acting like he has done this several times... same with the JWW thing, Floyd has fought guys either the same size or bigger than him his whole career. WW is the main weight people can say he needs to do more, SFW he dominated, LW he dominated, JWW he did as much as he could but he was dangerous there so not many people wanted anything to do with him, JMW... well he has no business there really... WW is the only real weight were you can say you want to see him do more (fight Shane and/or Cotto).

        I guess that depends if you considered Hatton as the best JrWW, you see Hatton was as much of a lineal champ as Baldi was, should I start mentioning obvious better opposition in that weight class or do we understand each other?

          To be more clear, manny/floyd may be the best fight out there even if cotto beats pac. Pac is the only one who has the speed to match Floyd, and his southpaw stance would throw a different element at Floyd.

          Cotto is an easier matchup for FMJ because Miguel doesn't have one-punch power, and he is too slow. Floyd will carve Cotto up.

          But I understand how things work, and that Floyd has little leeway in the boxing community. He needs to fight the winner no matter what.

          * If you think Shane can match Floyd's speed, go watch Shane's last four fights. Not just Margarito.

            Hatton stated he wasn't ready for Floyd as soon as he beat Tszyu, Cotto was too green at that weight too (JWW). I read on here of someone saying that Tszyu said Floyd told him he would fight him anytime and hes only a phone call away (don't quote me on that though, I said I read). That is if you are talking about JWW.

              I disagree, it takes a big strong opponent to beat Floyd, vs an almost shot Oscar and Castillo we saw how big and strong opponents can pressure him and take him to the ropes. Pac is too small for Floyd and I also think he's also too small for Cotto.

                At SFW, LW, JWW... Floyd was hungry and called out the best fighters and wanted to fight the best... I give him credit for beating DLH at JMW cause he shouldn't really be fighting there to be fair. Baldomir was the lineal champ in all fairness but I get what people mean when they say he wasn't the best there. Like I said, WW was the main weight were you can say he could have done more... that is as fair as I can be.

                  I dont really pay much attention to he said she said stuff, but I'm sure TR? back then would've thrown a bunch of money at Zoo for taking the fight. Zoo, regardless on his peek or not should've never gone to UK to fight Hatton, I guess Warren did what TR should've done.

                    Many dont want to see Floyd/Pac after what he did to Marquez and for good reason. The only way this fight could even near 2.5 million is if Pac went in there and just about kills Cotto. If the fight is even close that wont help a Pac/Floyd fight.

                      Like I said, I read someone say it... whether its true is another story, could be complete bull**** just as much as it could be true I guess. I agree too, Tszyu going to the UK to fight was a bad idea.
