If Floyd took every fight serious with no trash talk, I would respect him more

[CHOWWOKKA]

I'm clearly not a Mayweather fanatic, but I love the sport
and you can't deny Floyds boxing skills are
one of a kind, the guy is impressive but
there's alot of people waiting for the trash talk waiting
for Floyd to say something to Cotto.
Miguel says he is going to win with no trash talk
so has Mayweather and to me is more exciting when
you have two very serious and determine boxers
Face to face than to hear trash talk.
24/7 is coming and yes the trash talk will start for Floyd but
the respect for each other makes the fight very serious...

If Floyd respected every boxer like he is doing now
with Cotto, every Floyd fight i've seen would of been to
see him win not loose.

May 5th I hope to see that happen.

I guess training for 3 hours straight doesn't really mean much if you have a potty mouth.

I said Floyd and Pacquiao. Mate, you get far too butthurt over Floyd. But hey, join the crew...

whats the point of floyd fighting pacquiao when a fight with martinez is better and more dangerous?thats basically what you are sayin because i honestly don't see a problem with the pacquiao bradley fight bradley won't knock pacquiao out but he can give manny alot of problems and i honestly doubt pacquiao will knock bradley out and as far as cotto flod i can honestly say i'm not to big on this fight but hey it's a result of manny-floyd fight not happenning

i dont mind the trash talking, infact its good in the sense that it gets people interested. just see chisora vs klitschko for how well being an arsehole works!

the thing i dont like tho, is claiming your the best of all time, yet you are not prepared to prove your the best in our time, or even prepared to prove you are the best in your own fcuking division.

mayweather would stand a good chance to beat everybody put infront of him through middleweight in my opinion with the skills he has, he just isnt willing to fight the best.

like sugar ray leonard was saying on ringside tonight, you need those other great fighters to make yourself.

Not "butthurt" (what the f**k kind of term is that???? Something a young a$$ kid would say), just pointing it out.

So Floyd and Manny have only fought gimmie opponents???

It must trouble you to constantly get outwitted by a "young a$$ kid".

Well I dont mean throughout their careers but in recent times, yeah pretty much.

"Outwitted"??? Is that what people do on the internet. At least you're giving up the internet tough guy act that you were on yesterday. And no, what "troubles me" is that YOU ARE THE FUTURE OF THIS WORLD......TROUBLING INDEED.

I agree with Pac. Bradley is the best opponent selection sicne JMM in 08', first prime opponent since Solis, and his first actual legit fight since Cotto/Clottey.

The only fight in recent times for Floyd that wasn't legit at the time was JMM at 144. Given that JMM arguably just beat Manny at the weight, Floyd must get some props for shutting him out.

How long have you been watching the sport??? Just curious. It's really, as I stated before, just to know more about where you're coming from.

dirk uk is getting owned

What's new? The guy hates Floyd Mayweather, tries not only to explain why, but also make whoever he's talking to hate Floyd, then gets mad when they don't and starts calling everyone else dickriders.

He thinks he's winning these arguments when he does it too.

Cotto has always been vulnerable, even in his "prime". Malignaggi won 4-5 rounds against him, the Mosley fight was close, and Judah tagged him at times early on. The only time Floyd has ever look realy vulnerable was the first Castillo fight and those 2 big shots from Mosley in the 2nd round. In the Floyd-Judah fight, Floyd started slow but he didn't look quite as vulnerable as Cotto did against Judah in the early going.

I'm just saying in terms of skill and how he looks, Cotto is pretty much the same guy he was in 2009, past his prime-still good. His only alright win since was beating Foreman for the WBA title, the Mayorga fight was pointless. At least Foreman held a title and was a Top 10 ranked SWW. Margarito, while I get why Cotto took the rematch, was a little pointless as well.

Mayweather-Cotto and Pacquiao-Bradley are by far the two best fights available for each at this time, aside from each other obviously.

Mayweather-Mosley (past his prime), Mayweather-Ortiz, Mayweather-Hatton, all good fights going in no doubt. Regardless they turned out to be mismatches, they were good fights and solid choices of opposition going in. Mayweather-Corrales and Mayweather-Genaro turned out to be mismatches as well.

A mismatch and a terrible selection of an opponent is like when Pac fought Margarito or Mosley at the time he did. Or like when Floyd fought Marquez at 144, it wasn't needed at that time. Although I'd be the first to say that Floyd deserves some credit for shutting him out at a weight he arguably just beat Manny at though.

I'm just happy we're actually seeing good fights from BOTH Floyd and Manny. Oh well, hopefully they'll fight. I'm not losing any sleep over it. When they're gone, boxing will still be here and so will the next generations top guys.

Mayweather vs Cotto should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Pacquiao-Bradley. Pacquiao vs Bradley is an actual good fight, it's a competitive fight going in.

If Cotto had two wins over top 10 JMW's, instead of two shot to pieces bums who are not part of the top 10, then this fight would have been more meaningful. Right now it means nothing, it's Mayweather vs a glorified C class fighter for a lot of money. Pac vs Bradley is actually a good fight.

I dont think, I know. I don't hate Floyd Mayweather but that is usually the first port of call for someone who's losing the argument....Im just surprised you didn't call me a "pactarrrd" or whatever the new phrase is.....thats usually cop out #2.

Cotto isn't a C class fighter, but just my opinion an others. It's the two best fights for each right now. I was more or less comparing Pac-Bradley to Mayweather-Hatton, in terms of how good the fight is. Mayweather-Cotto to me is like Pacquiao-Hatton, a good fight but not a huge or great fight. It is an important fight for Floyd to get Cotto on his resume while Cotto can still fight.

I didn't have a problem with Cotto fighting Foreman, because he was in the Top 10 at 154 and held a title. I had the problem with him fighting Mayorga, a pretty pointless fight. He should have made his first defense against someone like Vanes or tried to unify right away with Bundrage. I didn't have too much of a problem with the Margarito fight, mainly because he had to fight him again at some point and rematch him.
