Cotto never wanted to fight Floyd as he felt it was too early in his career.
Floyd wanted to fight Shane but Mosley had a toothache and wanted to go on vacation, so Floyd fought Oscar de la Hoya at 154 instead.
As for Margarito, Floyd got the same amount of money for fighting Baldomir for the linear welterweight title.
In any case Devon Alexander wants to get it on and Tim Bradley does not. So boxing fans are sort of forced to pick a side.

Originally posted by j.one View PostDevon is better than Bradley based on his style of fighting and how he wins VS bradleys wins. Holt had Bradley down taking a knee and looking foolish at times, Urango landed a few punches and then was knocked silly by a guy that was only supposed to UD him. Bradley hasn't produced any excitment other than being floored himself, he has no power and is not sensational to watch. Also,if Bradley wouldn't have put himself in this position by being greedy and unrealistically about his value and drawing power we wouldn't have a discussion on how Bradley is raping the fans and the sport with this absurd fight, we'd be talking about how good a fight this was gonna be and game plans for both men.
People say Bradley is doing good business and I wonder how they could even come to that conclusion other than to make there argument seem like it's more money and theres no question, but I find it hard to believe he's gonna make more moving up and fighting a no name bum as opposed to fighting Alexander who he said he was gonna give it too in due time. In fact I bet Alexander would make him more money simply because it's a big fight and would have belts on the line in the 140 division.

Originally posted by romebyko View PostOh and I beg to differ on Devon is better then Bradley.Yes he KO'd Urango in a great way I'll give him that.But Urango was catching Devon with some shot's and had Devon looking real uncomfortable(If that was Maidana I would say it would be over for Devon)Bradley was tag right on the button by Holt(A known power puncher)shook it off and fought like it never happened.Talent take's great focus for a young guy to do that.We don't know how Devon would react to that do we.Alot of questions are un answered about Devon so to just go out and say Devon is the better fighter when Bradley clearly fought the better fighters is a bit bias.No?

Originally posted by j.one View PostWe'd know if Bradley produced a pair. Alexander punches harder and cleaner than Holt and Holt has bradley looking foolish and almost stole the fight from him late. Peterson had Bradley falling off balance and was hitting him as well, while Peterson is a better boxer than Urango, I don't feel he has a better chin or can hit nearly as hard as Urango does. Bradley has no power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Originally posted by romebyko View PostHMMMM They say that about Mayweather too.Anyway Power is speed and that's something Bradley has alot of.you keep saying Holt had Bradley looking foolish and almost stole the fight?How i had Bradley way ahead and so did the judges for good reason he beat the breaks off Holt.Peterson another one(who is away better boxer then Urango and hit's cleaner then him too)who got the breaks beat off him.Trust me if Bradley had no power he could not get in and out as fast as he does.Produced a pair??what young fighter has fought more top fighters in their own div then Bradley in the past let's say two Years?Bradley has the biggest ball's of any young talent out right now.Once again devon only fought two guy's(one of whom Bradley beat the breaks off first no?)so let's not get carried away with Devon.

Originally posted by j.one View PostLate in the fight Bradley was down and damn near blowing Holt after being tagged again, he was floored twice and took a knee. He did win the middle rounds but he didn't pitch a shut out or completely dominate or put Holt down. Bradley is supposed to be the guy at 140 why wouldn't the other top fighters want to fight him?

Originally posted by romebyko View PostHow do you know what Bradley was offered for these fights?Can you show me a link were you got this information?Abregu is a tough cookie(Don't make it seem like Devon would have an easy time with this kid)dangerous fight for Bradley I don't see what the problem is?Devon is fighting a powder fist fighter and nobody say's anything about it?The real as you put it is Bradley is still facing better opponents then Devon sooo why are you calling a guy who fought tougher fighters a *****??It does not make sense friend.Oh and why did'int Devon try to get a fight with Peterson I think he is a better fighter then Kotelnik or he could have fought Holt or even Lazcano.Devon and Khan have some proving to do in my opinion.
