    The only thing we know that would be different is there wouldn't be any ducking talk from TR.
    No... but he would fight Margarito, Cotto, possibly still JMM and get this one....


    Pacquiao.

        JMM caught Floyd a few times with good timing, he just didn't have any pop at that weight.

        At 154lbs, if Cotto catches Floyd flush with a left hook, that can change things a bit.


        But his timing better on the ****in money come Saturday, otherwise its a white wash.
        I thought about that... but who has Cotto hurt at 147/154 with a single punch? Or two?

        OK, Miguel hits Floyd in the 2nd round. And then the 3rd round.

        After that, Floyd shuts that hook down. Because you KNOW he won't land that on FMJ all night. What then?

              Daniel Santos wasn't any slouch. He was 5'11, hard-hitting southpaw boxer-puncher who was avoided by many. And it wasn't like Margarito "lost" to him in a manner in which it should be brought up. It was a technical decision after 8/9 rounds off a cut and Margarito lost by a point. Fighting in Santos' country.

                So if he stays for the Margs fight, that means he stays with TR forever? C'mon Dunn, lets not pretend that TR fighters have NEVER EVER fought a non TR fighter. This has really become an excuse for people since TR acted so selfishly with Manny.

                  Foreman

                  He can't do it once or twice... Just as Floyd anticipates his opponents, which is how he counters.. Cotto needs to ANTICIPATE Floyd to counter him.

                  Cotto needs to set his own traps.

                  Throw a punch, and anticipate Floyd to counter it, so that you can counter that.

                  Way god damn harder to do it then say it, but thats how he needs to do it.

                    Why am I calming down exactly? Just trying to have a discussion. Are all of the periods for the character limit or are you actually pausing/thinking of something else to say--I'll wait.

                    To the OP. I think that fans do reflect the fighter to some extent and maybe the respect that these two fighters seem to have for each other can also be seen amongst respective fans. I actually like Floyd, even though I don't agree with some of the things he says, but the same can be said of Cotto who is one of my favorite fighters.

                      Not even. If he fought Margs under TR, that doesn't mean he may not have left TR AFTER that. It make no sense to assume that he would still be with TR and have necer fought those guys
