    Is the TR road tougher?
    Bro, you goin to deep.

    We talking about the Margarito/Baldomir crossroad... Im not going 6 years after that.

    Floyd could of bought out his contract after that.

      I wasn't impressed with the amount of "punishment" cotto dealt out. That fight should have BEEN over.

        Because it is a game... A game of "what if".

        I played.

            Look, I can't blame floyd for making 100 milly fighitng, but it doesn't mean he's challenged himself to the fullest, which is what psychopaths like myself care about. And it certainly means that he should never ever be mentioned as one of the best boxers ever.

            The guy is an lower end ATG, but it kills me that he could have been a top 20 atg if he wanted to be.

            I just get pissed with these lame excuses people make as to why he never really tried to fight the best, post "pretty boy". To say that he would have never gotten oscar if he fought margs is just plain fanboyism.
            A poor excuse for what? I would've loved to have seen him fight Margarito then. But being under your market value is never a poor excuse. He left the Company. Not because he was hiding.

              Walt no need to go there. The point is sometimes fights are part of a long term plan. Its not about never fighting another TR fighter. But if he stays, he has to execute TR's plan for him, which doesn't necessarily inolve these fighters.

                Win or loose, Cotto is a winner and a hell of a warrior.
                A 0 record is just great management, but speaks little about the heart of a warrior.
                Sht, look at how many people followed Gatti, before and after his loss to Mayweather. People love that warrior heart more than an 0 record and those are mostly Cotto fans.
                We do not know that Margarito cheated and we do not know that Pacquiao is on anything. I suspect Margarito of dirty play, but both wins are legit. I do agree that Cotto has come a long way. On Saturday we will learn much more about him.

                  Dunn, WTF are you talking about? So you are really trying to say that if Floyd fights Margs, he stays with TR forever after that? Was that part of his contract, a lifetime TR contract with ZERO opportunity for buyout?

                  If that was part of the contract, then my bad, if not, you're just making ish up to defend floyd....

                      Pac - Cotto, the Cotto fans were so confident and mouthy, and all of them lost their points and some went into hiding.

                      Right now, they feel he will lose.
