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

[The Big Dunn]

Fighting a fight is one thing. Charging for an underserving challenger is another. I don't care what the next man does with his money - go on vacation, **** hookers, whatever. I do care what you ask me to do with mine. And the problem is the sport is that they keep asking the fans to pay for horse**** that's not worth it. Like a guy banned who hasn't had a significant win since Bush was president.

Exactly. Its the reason floyd matt hatton wouldn't have cut it. To me its like the JMM diaz fight saturday. Sorry, but this feels like a tune up for Khan Marquez. I mean I saw jmm diaz 1. There is nothing I saw to make me think Juan Diaz has a chance.

Clottey is a joke. Please don't go there. I thought he was a jokester before he fought Pacquiao.

Clottey is a joke? I had him bossing Cotto on my card. He beat up and stopped Zab Judah. He fought a tooth and nail fight against a prime Margarito. If he's a joke then who is a serious fighter?

Floyd fighting Matt Hatton is comparable to Manny fighting Margarito? Jesus Christ, what are you going to come out with next?

He beat Zab Judah. He quit against Margarito and Cotto. Clottey has the skills to beat every top welter and the heart to beat none.

I came to this conclusion late.

I tried telling everyone beforehand. I know that guy all too well.

STop it. I was talking about the perception of the other fighter not being viewed as legitimate competition.

Matthew Hatton wouldn't be a suitable sparring partner for Margarito. You tried to compare Floyd/Matt Hatton to Manny/Margarito, wow.

The perception in both fights is the opponent can't win. That is what i compared. The other comparison I made was JMM diaz which is happening saturday. Yet you don't mention that. Anyway you cut it margarito is not a quality opponent at this point. He is not the Margarito of 06-07 no matter what anyone does.

Additionally, given the fact he is a proven cheat with ABSOLUTELY nothing on his resume to deserve a title fight at 154 lbs makes this fight seem like a setup.
