    I wouldn't lose any sleep if I never saw him fight again. I'd rather have Cotto/Floyd ffs.

    P.S...

    You think Hopkins would ever do this?

          True but Mosley doesn't have the following of Cotto though

            That'd be fine if it would be a PPV. But it's not guaranteed to be.

            And if it's a WCB...HBO would have to put up AT LEAST $4 million, which they don't do very often.

              Have you heard? Pac/Tony is happening. I got my boy Tony mowing him down and sending him back to congress with 2 black eyes.

                I think Tony might actually have brain damage after this fight, if he doesn't take a knee or get put to sleep early on.

                  I wouldn't bet on it. Bob won't match manny with anyone who can beat him with the potential floyd fight still out there.

                    I'll bet you points. PM me when the fight gets close.

                    I really hope they make a 24/7 for this fight though, thats the only thing I hope.

                    Tony will set the record straight once and for all.

                      With that being said, I'd much rather see Cotto vs Berto than Cotto vs Vanes.
                      I know he is an advisor, but I just don't see any of Haymon's fighters doing any business with Arum at this particular time. Would I like to see? Of course.
