Originally posted by Chief2ndzOnly! View PostFloyd 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.

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.

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.

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 cornerLast edited by Biolink; 03-06-2010, 07:01 PM.

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.

Originally posted by Sugar Q View PostCome 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.

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.
