          1. Both sides (Manny and Floyd) are at least, in some ways, no matter who's d*ck you ride, partially to blame for the fight not happening.

          2. Let's just say Manny is the one who won't take the fight, It's only OK to fight Cotto then?

          3. I'd like to know what your opinion of Pac fighting Cotto at 145 and Clottey at 147, I'm guessing you thought THAT was BS though...
          Look, Ive explained my position 5 times. I have no problem with floyd and martinez fighting, but I do have a problem with Sergio calling out manny and floyd, who are at 147 while he is the 160 lb champ.

          FLoyd/cotto is being done because floyd/manny couldn't. its the most lucrative fight other than manny. its not like floyd is moving to 154. That said if he ends up staying there then so be it.

          Thought manny/cotto was fine except I don't like any champ to have to defend title at a weight lower than his title's max. Thats why I hope Sergio's mw title wont be on line if they fight at 154. I thought clottey was paid to take punches.

            Does it really make THAT big of a deal who calls out who, so long as the fight happens? would that be the out if Floyd were to lose to Sergio (he won't)

            I mean wasn't Hagler pushing for the fight with Leonard?

              Oxygen theft seems to be a popular occupation in these parts :hypnotised9:

                oustside of 3 fights, his comp is similar to floyd's.

                meaning his comp is better than floyd's.


                at least winky has some fights with a couple prime hof fighters....


                take away floyd's 3 best opponents- corrales, castillo, and genero and what do you have? A LOT worse comp than winky's.

                  Also wouldn't that make the victory for Floyd that much better...defeating a bigger guy that called him out?
