Floyd was gonna take the Oscar rematch but he felt he needed the rest, besides he aint want to deal with negotiating with Oscar, because Oscar wasnt trying to sweeten the deal. ODH was trying to treat Floyd as if HE had lost the 1st fight. FMJ wasnt havin it.

So he gave more money than he ever made in his whole career because he was being treated as if he lost the fight? Sounds like Mayweather's pride and ego got in the way of a record payday. Sounds just like Pac. Only dumber.

Corley was a damn good B rated fighter and a fast southpaw at that. Try telling Cotto that night that Corley was B rated. The ref could've stopped that fight cause Corley came seconds from derailing the dream for Cotto. If Mayweather struggled with the champ@135 why wouldn't a strong, young KO artist@140 accept his challenge? Although Cotto did get better @147 he still was predictable and fought with too much bravado to beat Floyd. Floyd would've outthought him and outslicked him all night. That was Cotto downfall, his bravado.

Spot on DAMN homie you are on fire bruh. Somebody break out the hose pipe for this cat.

You talk like Floyd is an amateur that doesnt know how to pace himself. Margarito would've quit against Floyd or got TKO'd. How much punishment do you think Margarito can take especially when he's swinging at air. Unlike Cotto PBF would not be trading with Margarito.

LMOA If I did not watch boxing and just listen to how you explain mayweather I would think mayweather was untouchable(which is not the case).I'm not tryin to say he would have beat mayweather but he would have touch may.But please stop acting like may is super man or something

fighting oscar was the right business move, but cotto would've netted him more than baldomir.

That's not true.

He would've fought Margarito for 8 million, but he wanted at least 10 million guaranteed for either Hatton or Cotto.

Arum promised him something like 7 million for Hatton and Cotto each. He made around 7 or 8 against Baldo IIRC. The point being, it wasn't that much more money for two fighters that would have been tougher than Baldo, and bigger draws, especially with a potential fight with Oscar looming around the corner

Look at the 1st few words of the post, mayne. The need for rest is what push Floyd into not excepting the rematch, the treatment he was getting from ODH is what pushed him over the edge in his discision to retire.

Can't be mad at none of Floyd's decisions because 50 mill+ in 2 fights since coming back is a very good look. Floyd hasn't lost a step since he left physically nor status wise.

I wont bet on a stoppage but I got you on a PBF win.

just would have bet on the knockout with ya but i'll get back too you on the bet on the fight

[ATL_Boxer]

Come on dude Floyd got 8 mill for Baldi and 20+ for Oscar. The Oscar fight was the PPV torch passer. After the Mosley fight there should've been a rematch because that was a close fight. Bottom line is no one can argue with Floyd's opponent selections because they all were very meaningful and very lucrative. It does take two willing fighters to make a fight happen that's why the Cotto fight like the the Manny fight didnt happen because someone didnt want it and I aint never seen Floyd turn down big money for less money.

Everyone can argue with Floyd's opponent selections because they suck! Period. Nothing wrong with going for the money but when you retire because you think fought everyone out there and you haven't, that's weak sauce. Floyd fought Oscar and Hatton and retired. Cotto, Margo, and Mosley were all waiting. That's pathetic no matter how you slice it. Boxing is watered down just like the rap game because gay "fans" are too worried about PPV sales and money as if they get a cut as opposed to quality. Then they sit around and wonder why none of the best fights get made because the fighters are nothing more than a bunch of primma donnas. Smh. Money does not make a legacy. That's why Pac and Biggie are still considered the greatest and Jay-Z, while way richer than the both of them, is pretty much on the outside looking in. De la Hoya made more than any other fighter, but his legacy is defined by him losing his big fights. Only the groupies of today care about a fighter's pockets. Mayweather will be broke when he retires anyway, so what does it matter. Anyone with half a brain knows that's why he came back or he wouldn't have retired in the first place. PPV sales don't mean you're the best, they just mean that you're popular. Whoopty doo! Boxing isn't a beauty pageant. Or is it...

I wouldn't say PBF is untouchable but barely touchable yes. Im saying Cheato would've got smoked/ I don't even know why you or anyone would even bring up Cheato's name in here. I'm a real boxing fan and I know this aint the most competitive time in boxing. PBF is just light years above the fighters of his era. it's not like we got a Ray Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Pryor,etc. Me and any other real boxing fan know that but right now these dudes can't F with Floyd.
