ELLERBE: "Calling to ask what Floyd wants is NOT a negotiation..."

[IMDAZED]

If Mosley that beat Marg would of fought Cotto the result would of been more comfortable for Cotto imo, why? because Mosley didn't get better, the change of an opponent did, stylistically more advantageous, not to mention he was allowed to hold excessively in the fight.

You could see that even against Cotto that Mosley's reflexes had gone, that he was blowing pretty hard at the end of the fight, like age was catching upto him big time, Cotto was hitting with clean punches and sliding underneath him, often leaving him looking to pick up counters that he was too slow to react to, swinging for then air cause he could not react, look at his timing in the Mayorga fight, of coarse that was at 154, but seriously, what stook out like a sore thumb in that fight was how poor Mosley's timing was, how off it was.

All this is why i said Mayweather would win, that it would not be competitive, as did Domincano.

Excellent points, I can agree with. Although I picked Shane, primarily because Floyd hadn't fought anyone of note in about four years.

*******s owned again!!!!

This aint nothing to do with *******s or *****s -

I'm sick of that Bu11**** from so called boxing fans.

Yet again we... the fans are being made mugs of - that's what this statement comes down to.

Pac and May and their teams are both teking the p1ss out of boxing... period!

Sergio Martinez. Paul Williams.

That's a pretty short list. Who do you want Floyd to fight? And do you consider the Margarito fight for Manny a better or worse scenario than Floyd sitting out the rest of the year?

Yes, that guy. The guy who was beaten by Floyd's last victim, Mosley. Mosley, who was the victim of Pacqauio's 2nd to last conquest, Cotto. Cotto, the victim of Pacquaio's next opponent, Margarito.

We can go in circles with this all day. And do you think you are clever or witty calling Margarito "Margaret"? I remember when boys used to call other boys by women's names...when I was in kindergarten. Grow up, Peter Pan.

Cotto beat Mosley, no doubt. But Mosley gave a really good account of himself. It was close but Cotto was the clear victor. Anyway, I don't even understand your point here, Cotto was a different animal during that time.

Cotto and Mosley are on the same level so their fight was close and competitive. Floyd and Shane are not, Manny and Coto are not.

Worse. I'd rather Floyd go on vacation then fight Cotto, for instance. And if he agrees to fight Cotto he should be ****ing slammed. If he's going to fight then it has to be PW or Martinez. Or give an up and coming guy a chance - not someone who doesn't even have a license to fight in the country (although he will soon). Come on. It's not right, Rimmy.

Bradley, martinez, Williams or Berto are all better options than Margaret.

And there is no "better or worse" in my eyes. It just...is.

[RimmyDelicious]

Any non top rank fighter he fights unless of course its a complete bum.

Of Manny Pacquaio's last 6 fights, 3 of them (Hatton, DLH, Marquez) were Golden Boy fighters. Of Floyd Mayweather's last 6 fights, 4 of them (Mosley, Marquez, Hatton and DLH), and his last four fights in a row, were all in house fights against Golden Boy fighters.

Yeah, I couldn't disagree with you more. I like to watch fights.

Is Floyd a Golden Boy fighter? You don't draw a distinction between someone on the roster under contract (i.e. Pacquiao) and someone who operates as a free agent?
