I finally find myself on the opposing side with Dunn. If you are judging between which guy did better, I agree that Maidana is more deserving. However, when you look at which is the better "event," the Cotto rematch wins hands down. I feel bad for Maidana, but I don't see how Floyd would choose anyone over Cotto, unless it was Pacquiao. We know he's not fighting Pacquiao, so Cotto is the best option. Khan can't come close to a Cotto rematch.

YOu make a valid point. Floyd v cotto in NYC for the MW title is an absolutely huge event. But I thought floyd won the first fight by a wide margin. Of course, Roach wasn't there. SO you have angles/backstory to make the event huge.I finally find myself on the opposing side with Dunn. If you are judging between which guy did better, I agree that Maidana is more deserving.

(and for all the **** on NSB arguing that fighting floyd doesn't pay that hot-which fighter has roach and arum talked more about since saturday canelo or floyd?)
I just don't like to see rematches that I don't think need to happen. The fight gets Cotto money and floyd a chance to win the lineal MW title (and fight in NYC, which means I can actually go to the fight).
But rather than a card with floyd/cotto 2 and danny/matts 2, I think it should be floyd/maidana 2 and danny/herrera 2.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 06-09-2014, 08:12 AM.Comment

umm didnt u guys always cry about how a fighter should call this fighter out, etc after a fight?? so what difference does this make when roach says it?Comment

Not an easy way, given what we saw each guy do in their last fights.
posters who don't like floyd don't want to see a rematch because they think floyd will win the lineal MW title and have 3 lineal belts simultaneously.
I hope you are not against the fight for these reasons.Comment

You're a purist, which is admirable, but that first card is bananas compared to the second. The second is just a righteous choice, but not a "business" decision. Mayweather vs. Cotto 2 in the Barclay's with Danny/Matts 2 or Maidana/Broner 2. Can't beat that!YOu make a valid point. Floyd v cotto in NYC for the MW title is an absolutely huge event.
