The point I'm getting at is if Manny beats Cotto people want to see that fight because it'll bring in alot of money even if it is a mismatch, they'll rather see that fight happen instead of Mayweather fighting for the Welter Weight Championship of the WORLD against the real champion who is Shane Mosley... I love the sport no matter what be it needs to get back to its roots and fight for pride and not a quick buck

How can you remember something before you were born?
