Cotto vs Witter would be a good fight as well, I give witter a very good chance of beating Cotto. I would also love to see Hatton Vs Cotto. I really want to see Ricardo Torres again when he is properly prepared and conditioned he looks like he could be a great 140lber. Mayweather vs Any of those guys would also be good fights. Well lets just hope we get some of those fights to happen so the fans can be Happy.
    All those fights I would be interested in, except Floyd v Mayweather for some reason I'm not to interested in that fight, just seems like Floyd UD all over it.

      I'm not too keen on Hatton vs Witter.

      I've become really irritated with Witter over the last 5yrs... He seems like a parasite on Ricky's back, + he never has a nice word to say about any of his countrymen (Fighters).

      Before Hatton fought Tszyu Witter was predicting Hatton would get KO'd in the 1st or 2nd round... After the fight Witter started saying that he would have easily KO'd Tszyu by the 5th.

      He bitches about Hatton's level of opposition, yet his next fight is against Colin Lynes???

      I think he needs to earn his shot at Hatton now... And he needs to go out there and win his own World belt, then he can challenge the Hitman.

        This is what I think about Mayweather in terms of making fights:

        You know those guys who only do their jobs and never go above and beyond to help someone out? You know, they have a strict list of duties, and if there's something that falls beyond them then they refuse to get involved. I think Floyd's sort of like that when it comes to fight negotiations. You know, boxing's a crooked business, and sometimes you have to agree to terms that aren't exactly fair. Like Martin likes to point out Judah agreed to fight for 100 grand to get a title shot, even though that is ridiculous money for a fighter of his level.

        Mayweather certainly deserves to fight for millions of dollars, but what he has to realize is that in life you don't always get what you deserve. So maybe he is going to have to agree to terms that he's not totally satisfied with in order to build his career and legacy.

        I'm a huge Floyd fan, but I see this as a big flaw of his.

          I'm guessing you aren't a business major. In boxing, worth is determined by how many stadium seats you fill and PPV buys you generate. There are lots of fighters who are worth more than PBF - not because they are better fighters, but because they are more popular.

          Why are these other fighters more popular? In part because they take on the best opponents - PBF totally strikes out there. Sometimes they are popular because they fight wars - Gatti and Corrales for example. PBF isn't that. Maybe they are popular because they have good personalities and are attractive - DLH for example. PBF doesn't measure up there.

          PBF needs to take a few business classes at a community college, or get new management. Until he understands how to build value, we'll get more of the same garbage - weak opponents and demanding way too much money if the opponent has a pulse.

              hmm

              Witter and Cotto have not proved to be any more special than Corley and N'dou.

              Corley and N'dou were considered top 10 at 140 when Floyd fought them, as well as Gatti. Bruseles is obviously NOT in that class though.

              At some point Floyd needs to take a big fight. A fight against a fellow p4p guy. When he does that...good. If he doesn't, then I'll **** in his mouth.

                Right. About 2 years ago and we are still waiting.

                    Hatton fans don't have a right to say anything.

                      Floyd is a mental midget. Like Tyson, in the end it will drag down his talent, though Floyd is lucky enough not to be in the same class of ******ity as Tyson. Fighters have a short shelf life and Floyd won't have too many more years left, but it seems he likes the courtroom and paying millionaire attornies as much as making money in the ring.
