    I meant 4x more in the long run of his career not the de la hoya fight. Your right bobs not a physic hes a business man and so is floyd. Bob made his business choices and so did floyd and now he is the highest paid athlete in the world. Again, its called knowing your worth. You cant really tell me you think floyd was scared of them dudes.

      according to me? so saying a guy lives too far away is a legit reason not to fight him? i mean that's just absurd. cotto lives too far away? seriously think about just how dumb that is.

        cotto did want the fight. he said so in interviews. cotto is not a demonstrative person. yes he should have screamed and yelled at the top of his lungs that floyd was ducking him. would have generated a lot of interest but does he ever do that? no.

          hes talking about when floyd left top rank for the dlh fight. arum tried to serve cotto up so he could stay. after that, there was no offer. so basically, hes just trying to be cute.

            when has floyd said this?thats right since he came out his semi retirement which at that point cotto had already loss to margarito and then pacquiao if miguel would of beat paquiao maybe he would of been floyds next oppnent at the time

              im not defending anything floyd said. i never said he was smart. but being dumb doesnt make u a duck.

                but i do think he was scared. just look how visibly shaken up he is when margarito confronts him. it's like he saw a ghost or something. when you add that evidence to him turning down career high paydays and never ever trying to fight them. yeah you can reasonably say he was scared.

                  and u are still missing the point. they were in the same division for 1 year, with contracts that obligated them to different networks who dont do business together. and before those contracts ended, tszyu got beat by hatton. floyd never got the chance to fight him because there wasnt a chance.
                  i 'll use any fighter as an example when truth sooths it and based on your argument, it was perfect example to bust it..

                  so now it's the netwroks? how about fighters who swicth netwoks based on the the highest bidder, we see that all th time..

                  tsyu got beat by hatton and hatton got beat by floyd but triangle thoerios dont work, you and i know that my good friend..but a win over tzu pre hatton (hatton really did'nt beat tzu,he jobbed him) would've been hell of a lot better than just a corrales win...that is my whole point

                    So if Mayweather walks up to Canelo's promoter and says "hey I want $543,000,000 or no fight" is Canelo labeled a duck? That's how Floyd fans are treating the situation.

                      he turned down career high paydays for a career high payday? are u serious? not even u can be so silly. u know the reason he turned down those fights was so he could leave and get that oscar fight. stop acting silly.
