    Yeah I remember that, neither of them looked comfortable with what they were seeing thats for sure. There was avid made of it on youtube but it has been taken down now.

      As for the Margarito fight, I was told there was clauses involved like Arum would get options on future fights, or something like that.
      Im not sure what wouldve happened had Arum not took the 750 k..they probably wouldve went to court.

      Your probably right about that Margarito contract.....It makes sense on Arums part to do that..considering Floyds star power was growing.

        thats bull, cotto was interviewed after the fight and he said he wasn't there to size mayweather up, he was there because he's a fan of floyd and has been for a while.

          The only problem I have with Floyd is that he fought Hatton instead of Cotto. Mayweather-Cotto would of been a great fight. Cotto should get some blame as well he never called Mayweather out, or gave Arum the nod to try and make the fight.

              Did you see Cotto's and Hatton's facial expressions during the fight?

                Hatton was thebiggest fight avilible for him...and one of the biggest fights in the sport...PERIOD.

                EVRYONE wanted to see Hatton-Mayweather..........These boards shut down that day.

                  True, but Hatton can't box, wrestling isn't boxing. That fight only became watchable from about round 8 onwards when Hatton was to tired to pin Mayweather against the ropes.

                    After the Hatton fight PBF should have fought Cotto. Thats all really. If he had beaten Cotto (which he would) nobody would be calling Mayweather a ducker.
