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

[-Spinal-]

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.

What the hell is this ****?

Yeah lets splooge all our money on these guys and their horrific mismatches!

That'll convince them to take harder fights!!!

How many mismatches are you going to buy? Its gone out for years now.

The problem with your logic is harder fights are "on paper" don't necessarily mean they will be harder when they fight. Floyd Corrales or Flyd Mosley for example.

So your point becomes don't buy a fight with 2 extremely well known fighters in the hopes that the A side will take on a harder (on paper) fight becuase you assume it will sell more.

Well I think Floyd Manny or Floyd Canelo sells a million more than Floyd Martinez, which is IMO, the harder fight (on paper). Could your logic be at all wrong?

Im talking specifically about Floyd-Pacquiao. How the fight turns out is irrelevant. Its the fight the world has wanted to see for 4 years.

But as long as people like you keep buying these joke fights they keep putting out, then expect it never to happen.

Cotto is not DONE. Cotto is past his prime-still good. These people would have said Joe Frazier was done after he lost to Foreman. Or that Floyd Patterson was done after losing to Liston.

Cotto can still fight. Being DONE is like Mayorga, Mosley, Castillo, Morales, etc. Cotto is not "shot" or "done". I said from day 1 that if Pac chose to rematch Cotto at 154 that it'd be a good fight, same goes for Floyd.

People need to shut the f**k up and at least accept the fact that we are getting the two best fights from both Floyd and Manny at the moment. Aside from each other obviously.

Im as pissed about Floyd and Manny not getting their s**t together as anyone else is, but at least Floyd's last 3 fights have been good fights going in.

Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto are all good fights going into it. What other fights should he have taken at the time??? He and Pac can't get their s**t together and Sergio's been at MW, oh well.

If were talking Pac's picks of Margarito-Mosley-Marquez when he did, it's a WHOLE DIFFERENT story of course.

Joe Frazier got knocked out in 2 rounds by Foreman.

He didn't get twice brutally ****d over almost the whole course of a fight where in each instance he mentally and physically quit.

Only an idiot would equate the two.

You know damn well if you were actually alive back then that you would be leading the campaign for Joe Frazier is DONE in 1974-1975.

How old are you??? No joke. Are you like a teenager or something??? Or some college kid or something??? It'd be nice to know so I can better understand what generation or mindset that you're coming from.

Cotto is not DONE. That's just ridiculous. He's not prime anymore, hasn't been since the 1st Margarito fight, but he's still good. Show me in video from 2009 to 2011 where his skills are so vastly different or that they have diminished all that much. Please show me.

[turbotime]

It makes no sense to equate a fight against Pacquaio to a fight against this Cotto.

But I don't put anything past a Floyd arselicker!

What's the difference? Floyd wins both handily.

So if you didn't buy any Manny fight after he refused the deal in Dec 2009 he would have suddenly accepted the deal and the fight would've happened?

Or, if you didn't buy floyd/mosley or floyd/ortiz because he didn't answer Bob's countdown clock then they would be fighting now?

Or they both would've taken tougher but less lucrative fights? I get your point and its very noble but it just doesn't make sense. If you don't support the most popular fighters that doesn't lead to better fights it leads to networks putting on other things that turn a profit.

Unlikely, it'll be a one sided mismatch.

The match-up is ****.

every fight floyd has is a one sided mismatch he's just to good

[Housed Fugitive]

sounds really feminine and gay

Floyd Mayweather is undefeated, he can talk as much shit as he wants to.
