    That made Arum salty so Arum made up stories to use Floyd to get his men bigger names.

    Try again.
    Ugh Arum made The Ring magazine and every crediable boxing expert hype Cotto, Margarito, and Clottey?

    You do know Oscar De La Hoya own the ring Magazine right?

      If I thnk Margarito and Baldomir are fairly equal, why would I think Cotto is is far above Baldomir. What Margarito did to Cotto could be done by Baldomir also.

      especially with loaded wraps.

      I have way more respect for the feather duster salesman than the cheater.

        Do you like Burt Sugar, do you respect what he says?

        He though Baldomir was a big challenge for Floyd and said he didn't know if Floyd could deal with someone so big and strong.


        Sounds like someone else most recent fight except no cheating, no terrible loss, no year off from the sport, no recent big wins~
        man, sugar had floyd still a 4-1 favorite even if he had said that.

        and if you want to play this game on taking the word of experts for pre-fight, most experts didn't have pac favored to win or had big odds over delahoya, hatton, cotto.

          arum offered both cotto and marg to him for a guaranteed purse of 8 million each. he could have easily gone for both after he fought DLH. instead, he went on to fight a lucky bum and a smaller dude

          he was the one who said that boxing wasn't going to retire him. he said that, instead of using your excuse. listen to your boy before making excuses for him

            Well as cliche as it is to say this, boxing is a business, and why are we shocked promoters and fighters go for fights that get them the most money?

            Shane being more money, has a bigger name and until Berto beats someone who is worth a damn....Shane is a better fighter.

              Those publication all talk to Arum and print what he has to say. Oscar didn't own the ring back then also~

              It is Arum's job to hype his guys, and since he had beef with Floyd he did it at his expense.

              It is really fucking simple.

                That is the difference between me and you.
                Yeah the diffrence is I don't use misguided opinions to justify my agenda like you do. Lets face it all your opinions on Cotto, margarito, and Clottey are conviniently skewed to justify some mindless opinion that somehow Floyds wins over hatton, Judah, and Baldomire were better wins.

                Shhiittt man everyone is disagreeing with you and the funny thing is Im not even a pac fan!

                  I got no beef with that reasoning, that is boxing that is how shit goes. I honestly have no issue with this fight and view it as better than his last two, even though I don't think Shane can really win he could provide a test.


                  Berto is just an unknown quantity I would only want to see him fight Manny to gauge what he was truly about.

                      My opinion on them just aren't skewed by Arum bull****.

                      I could care less I don't really respect most of the people going against me right now or their views.
