Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather Afraid, Looking For a Scapegoat

[LEFTYGUNZZ]

Sigh, a known fact most orthodox fighters hate fighting Southpaws, Apollo Creed was advised not to fight Rocky. However Floyd fought Guerrero, Judah and Corley if I recall correctly.

Out of the three fighters highlighted only Judah had notable power at WW. Even still he fought Judah after Carlos Baldomir dethroned him. Oh and btw Judah dropped him in that fight. I still think if Judah could keep his head on straight in that fight he may have been able to finish the fight and win it.

You not finishing anyone off on a flash knockdown bro when his glove barely hit the canvas Judah problem is he always unravel arum wouldn't give floyd baldomir after he defeated Judah so Judah was next best opponent for floyd at that weight class atm he got baldomir very next fight

Bob Arum thoughts On Ortiz Vs Mayweather Jr.

“I had 11 years with Floyd and I say that fight won’t happen. For 11 years, I had problems getting him to consider a southpaw opponent. He refused to consider any southpaw.”

Bob Arum puts his foot in his mouth AGAIN.

"I wouldn't have wasted or thrown a young guy like Ortiz into this match against Mayweather at this particular point in his career," said Arum."

Honestly this is wolf tickets. They aren't saying the fight is off so I think they are hyping it up.

They were Give me's. They weren't PRIME WW ELITES.

Can't you name one ?

HE ducked PRIME COTTO, MARGO , the Cotto fight he ducked is from the interview with MERCHANT and the MARGO DUCK is on tape.

the softball question is just that, softball and presents no substance for importance.

The real question is why has JR DUCKED THREATS for the past ten years?

No, the point of my post was to show that Arum is full of ****. He says Mayweather is hesitant because Manny is southpaw, yet Manny has not fought any good southpaws, and hasn't fought a south paw in years, yet Floyd has beaten 3 southpaw WW champions. Just like when Arum said we should boycott Mayweather vs. Maidana because it was an uneven matchup, then follows up with Manny vs. Algeri, which was even worse. Manny became a superstar by beating Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Mosely, and Marquez. Floyd has beaten those same 4, 3 of them before Manny did, and let's not even talk about catch-weights. If you believe Floyd is nothing special, then Manny is a step below wherever you place Floyd.

Oh you guys......

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."

Why are we giving props to Margarito? Margarito loss to Williams, and we know what he did to Cotto with the loaded wraps. He was a cheater, and Arum got him a license to fight Manny at 150 (because Cotto wasn't having it), so Manny could have a SWW title. Margarito's career is just as suspect as Sammy Sosa (corked bat), and Lance Armstrong.
