    [QUOTE=The Nature Boy;9110298]
    Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

    Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

    "That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."


    just incase someone tries to say some dumb****

    arum, cotto and no one from cottos team wanted any parts of floyd at 140 or 47.

    if cotto wanted some, he could have called flouyd out. but did

Cotto fought the same guy years before Mayweather finally grew the nuts and never once was buzzed. Mayweather was rocked by Judah, when was Miguel? Chop Chop did em both and besides all of those matchups Cotto has been in there with deadly punchers. Miguel has a better chin than Mayweather and Miguel would beat Mayweather.
      Really? I recall Cotto doing a dance very similar to the one Floyd did. I believe it was in round 3.

          How so? Mayweather is feather fisted at 147. At the lower weights he wasn't that bad but at 147 he doesn't have pop. A true puncher at 147 would of been able to get JMM out of there and although Baldy hadn't really been stopped a puncher with a bit of pop and the speed of Mayweather should of easily been able to just overwhelm him and get the TKO or kayo.

          Secondly, how can you not deny he was really buzzed and almost finished against Shane. Credit to Floyd for being able to fight smart and overcome that but that shot had him on ***** street and he could of easily tasted canvas.

          Thirdly, Cotto does have a good chin. Just because Cotto has hit the canvas doesn't mean he doesn't have a good chin. It's like people trashing a guy with a few losses think he is a bum, when it just isn't true. Miguel has been in with some heavy handed punchers and his chin has held up well in most contests. Take for example the Marg fight and all the punches he took. If Miguel had a poor chin he would of easily been kayoed but that wasn't the case and due to having a good chin the contest would of never been stopped unless it came from a corner or Miguel chose to end it. Cotto looked bad in the Pac fight but that was due to the speed and the electric power pac possesses. Mayweather may be fast but he certainly doesn't have the same pop as Manny.

          As for the last point, it's your opinion versus mine. I say Miguel would win and you would say Floyd would win. We will never know because Floyd doesn't fight Puerto Ricans. But what I can do is mock Floyd because that is a bull**** answer and you can't do anything because your boy gave a **** response, considering he is supposed to be top dog.

              ask shane how feather fisted floyd is.

                omg floyd called out(what is this the wwe?) cotto at 140! so he wanted to fight cotto when he was a relative unknown with a couple wbo title defenses yet when cotto is a huge star and one of the best fighters in boxing he fake retires?

                  I don't think Cotto would have beaten Hatton at 140, but no doubt he was a different animal at 147.

You can if ur lying!
                    First you have to take in account that Cotto has been in with some real punchers. Secondly, Floyd hasn't tasted the canvas but that is due to his great talents and defense, not his chin. Floyd is a good fighter but his chin when it gets tested isn't world class and imo Miguels chin is actually better. Miguel has a good chin, not world class, but it's solid so people need to cut that **** out.

                      i guess when shane hit floyd with those bombs, cleanly, it was his talent for why he didnt go down. you sound ******.

                      maybe you should look at the vids of when floyd got hit with big shots. his chin is great b/c hes neck is so strong. so his head doesnt get whip lashed. his body bends from his neck to his waist

                      like lampely said, floyd chin is so good b.c his neck is so strong. hence why hes always doing neck work outs.

                      but you sound dumb, doggie
