      I think people are talking about the past few years. Why Marquez and Ricky Hatton?

He didn't impress me when he beat an aging Oscar by 1 ***ing round but he could of totally shut me up had he beaten a young hungry undefeated fighter who had very solid skills in Cotto. Instead he choose to face a made to order face first slugger who was naturally smaller. And when he fought Hatton back then thats exactly what I said about that fight. And yes I know margarito is a made to order slugger too but he's also the same kind of made to order slugger that so physically strong that he could ofgave Floyd fits just like when he fought Castillo only Tony is even bigger and stronger.

          Marquez come back after 2 yr layoff. Kinda understandable. Hatton, largest purse available at the time. Remember floyd was the undisputed lineal ww champ.

              Yeah Floyd wanted Cotto when he was still a slightly under experience junior welter. The fight could of happened after the Oscar match.

                And Cotto was his #1 contender not Hatton.

                    Come on man Floyd has been at welter long enough to clear the division out. That includes Margarito, Clottey, Paul Williams, Cotto and Pacman.
