        Another smart move by Floyd, have Pac weigh in heavier to slow him down and throw in some random blood testing procedures to psychologically throw Pacs head outta the game..
        I can see that happening and being another road block...everyone knows pac struggles to even get past 148 lbs. so it's highly unlikely they can fight at 154 lbs.

          That's what I want to see.
          Yup. It'll never happen but if he were to fight him at 154 it'd be OK for me, less history, but still, it'd be a good win.

          Truth is, pretty much anyone from 147-154 is a no hoper.

And obviously Pac isnt in the plans, Arums not done whoring him out yet (1st Bradley, then most likely Marquez, then longshots Huesta/Rios and by then he'll be dead or crippled and forced to retire..which is the only way Bob lets him quit).

              When was the last time mayweather fought somebody who was the best in their weight class and at their peak?

              Cotto is the first in a long, long time that you can consider this to be true for a mayweather opponent - and even cotto's status is debatable.

              When you spend your career cherry picking, then call yourself the goat, you leave yourself wide open to criticism from everybody.

              mayws "0" is 1 or 2 steps better than calzaghes "0" which isnt that impressive! Id rather watch fighters whom arent afraid to lose.

                  10 million for every lb over 147
                  8 oz gloves
                  14 day de-juice/cutoff period..............and a 5050 split............

                  Damn...that's a good deal

                  Cotto just admitted Mayweather WAS NEVER IN HIS PLANS and that Arum NEVER even mentioned a Floyd bout with him...

                  All the while Arum was telling the media Floyd was ducking him..

                  Mayweather was never in Team Pacquio's plans...

                  Bob knows what he's doing..he KNOWS he doesn't have the fighters to beat FMJ....the ONLY way he wins is in the media.


                  AND FLOYDS RECENT DEMANDS IS IRREVELENT RIGHT? and fyi, this all started when pacq started to become a star and stealing the "retired" spot light from mayw!! mayw becomes enviously jealous, so he starts the whole peds rant because he just couldnt believe there could EVER be a fighter whose just as big and notiable.. just like you say arum never had mayw on his radar.. NOR did or does Mayw ever intend on fighting Pacq ! Thus his constant (STIPULATIONS) on every count of negotiations. I just have a hard time believing that this fight could have already happened years ago. even if pacq had summited to mayws ego, will, and demands! bottom line!!

                    Before I continue reading, I just had to stop to give my reply to this in the bold. A big LOL. The guy is not even in the top 10 best P4P fighters in boxing. How is he one of the best? He's not really even the best at 154. Is this Ben Thompson AKA Floyd's Answer to Ronnie Nathanielsz?

                      Just because you're not P4P doesn't mean you're not one of the best. Cotto is still a top fighter
