AND you know that Arum had his hand in that too by putting Margarito in the mix to fight Pac for that belt. Would have been cool for Manny to make it a non title fight since he couldn't compete at the weight according to him. But he wanted to brag and boast about his "8th title". Lets keep it all the way 100.Comment

Wasn't me dude or you misunderstood. Manny said he can fight @ 150 not Martinez and I never said Martinez would fight Manny weighing 150. Manny said he would fight anyone 150 pounds or below. I said 150 is jr-middle-wt so Manny should fight Martinez @ jr-middle-wt like Floyd weighed 150 against Oscar's 154. The jr-middle weight division is 148-154. I know Manny and his clan think he can just create weight limits but the rules say 148-154 is Jr-Middle-wt!!!! You can quote me on that.Comment

You have made several valid point. I don't think Cotto is on the same level when Floyd at PRIME but Floyd is almost 35. Easy fight or annihilation? Hmmm I don't know. UD is quite likely.
At this point, I am not sure Cotto may even last over Ortiz except his experience. Cotto was hit OFTEN by Mayorga.Last edited by sdcluser; 04-25-2011, 04:16 PM.Comment

Floyd is the absolute KING of fantasy fights I will defiantly give u that. He would annihilate this fool and destroy that fool, probably kill this dude...But he NEVER fights any of them. Must be nice to just automatically exclude certain fighters because u just know u would win.
Styles make fights, anything can happen in a boxing ring. He should have fought cotto years ago, he should have fought shane years ago, he shouldn't have ran from margareato like a scared girl, he should have fought pac twice by now. Floyd's "career" at 147 ( if u can call it that ) has been one duck job/vacation/retirement after another. I don't wanna "imagine" him beating these guys, I wanna "see" it happen. Is that too much to ask?Comment

I knew that Floyd went out there and Cotto said Floyd wanted to fight but Cotto said he didn't hear from Mayweather after. Cotto was at the Bruseles fight when his buddy "Henry Bruseles" got KO'd by Floyd, who was also taught by Evangelista Cotto AND Cotto was at the Gatti fight with Hatton to possibly be Floyd's next opponent and Cotto opted not too. THEN when Bob wanted Floyd to fight Antonio Margartio. Floyd said give me Cotto/Hatton for 10MIL and 20MIL for Oscar and we got a deal for Margarito and Arum said no. Floyd got the Oscar fight after he left Arum so if Arum would have agreed to the deal then why wouldn't Floyd honor it? This Floyd ducked Cotto/Margarito movement been false for YEARS. Arum is doing the same thing now with Pac that he did back then for Cotto and Margarito. Using Floyd's name to hype his fighters up.......
Cotto wasn't ready."We're looking for guys like Ricky Hatton and 'Pretty Boy' Floyd Mayweather. So you're seeing now the finishing touches on the emerging superstar, and in 2006 hopefully he will be able to claim the mantle of the real, real superstar."
Hatton emerged as the recognized 140-pound champion with his TKO of Kostya Tszyu June 11. Mayweather, the pound-for-pound king who is also promoted by Arum, stopped Arturo Gatti to claim a junior welterweight title two weeks later.
Cotto against either man would certainly qualify as a super fight, but before either match can be explored seriously, he has to keep winning."
