[any craic lad?]

this may be the first 24/7 series where i dont watch any of the episodes. not interested at all really. i know what floyds gonna say/do and cotto is plum boring.

Ill watch it but not terribly excited about it usually on the sunday morning i would be straight onto youtube but since boxnation have it ill probably watch it sometime during the week.Cant wait for the fight though

Nothing gets you amped for a fight like the closing sequence of 24/7.

I just never liked the guy. I usually don't like Downey all that much either.

I just like a wide variety of comedy, but it's all about taste on certain genre's of course.

Tom cruise is by far the worst though, I can't watch films that he is in, even if I think they look decent.

What a smug *$%*, kind of like Floyd

I like things with intelligence, including comedies than doesn't take the audience for a fool.

I think Diaz has a bright future in the pros. I already knew the amateur Cubans can box and i can see why. If Cotto beats Floyd i will give all credit to Diaz being in his corner. Of course Cotto will get some but this is a trainer

They have better promos on youtube.

24/7 has been watered down since the first one. It's still watchable, but come on now.

Colonel Sanders was pissed off when the corporation watered down his gravy, while Floyd waters down his own gravy. Fried chicken is complex.

Fraud.....

I keep hearing people in his camp mention fraud mayweather among the all time greats. As a boxing fan this offends me and should offend those great warriors who inhabit that rarified air. They earned it, with skill but moreso with blood and guts and fearless competition. They fought their closest rivals, those who posed those most danger to them. Sugar Ray Robinson fought Jake LaMotta what 6 times.Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Evander Holyfield,Mike Tyson,Aaron Pryor, Sugar Ray leonard, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran, Pacman, Juan Manuel Marques, Eric Morales, Julio Cesar Chavez, Arturo Gatti, Mickey Ward fought each other, in their primes countless times. Not one of em ducked any other. They laid it out their like warriors. They earned their spot to the extent that nobody could deny them.
That "0" Fraud seems to covet is only worth anything if you fight all the best guys and duck nobody. All I see Floyd doing is fighting guys only when he is so overwhelmingly favoured that he cannot loose. He fights over the hill(Oscar De La Hoya) undersized (Juan Manuel Marquez) dehydratated by contract stipulation( Chico) or total beneath his skill level. And when he is faced with a challenge he just cheats( Victor Ortiz). Those men in hall or soon to be in, have heart and guts and and they earned their spot in the hall. Someday Miguel Cotto will be in there too.
Floyds fighting Cotto because after the beat down Pacman put on him he's a shot fighter, Fraud knows this, it's why he's fighting him. Don't dishonour the hall by including a guy who wouldn't fight anybody if there was a chance he'll lose. Fraud doesn't understand that being a champion has more to do with demonstrating courage than numbers. For every guy I've mentioned I can instantly recall a heroic moment and in most cases many. I can say that about every guy except one. Floyd needs to be in the hall that has Hector Camacho, Roy Jones Jr and a few others. Guys who never laid it on the line like a true champion. Immensely talented, gifted but with pea sized hearts. No sir, they do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the true greats. There's only one way to prove that.....we're waiting Floyd and time is running out for you.......

*yawn* chico was undefeated & favored to win...JMM was ranked the #2 fighter in the world. How can he be too small for floyd but not pacquiao?? He was just better than him...Why are people calling fo floyd to fight manny?? He just fought JMM & is about to fight him again?? STFU....TR kept miguel away from floyd purposely...miguel said himself he was not ready for mayweather. U just mentioned ward & Gatti above floyd & roy...Who can take u serious....U must be larry merchant's son...stfu ***git! The 80's era is gone...all those guys beat each other's brains out & ended up dying in poverty. Boxing has ****d fighters since it's inception... There has been a method to his career every step of the way....He has no chief rival. Hindsight is alway 20/20 isn't it...It won't matter who floyd fights bc there will always be a built in reason why he won other than the fact that nobody can **** w/ him...& that's the truth. Nobody cares about an undefeated record. You're just maad bc no one has been able to not only beat him...but challenge him...it is wut it is sir. Stop crying...

Then that prolly means ur a pu$$y....Cotto is 5'6 & pacquiao had his azz running from rd 4 to 12...shane had his azz backpedaling at the end of their fight...Clottey also had cotto backing up. We won't even mention tony. Ortiz came in weighing 173 for their fight & floyd was moving his azz back. Floyd has been sparring & fighting against MW's on up to LHW since b4 he was a welter...being strong means nothing to him. The only reason he didn't stand in the pocket w/ oscar was bc of the huge gloves DLH mandated & all the restrictions he tried to impose...so he just outboxed him & made him look dumb. I don't know wut tactic he'll use vs cotto but trust cotto's azz will be getting busted up & frustrated from not being able to connect....if floyd doesn't force him backwards...fatigue will. (as usual)
