Doug Fischer tells me why he puts PAC n Hopkins over money this era and all time

[Calabis]

yes quotes can be taken out of context, people get wrongly quoted, or even fabricated to suit an agenda. seriously how old are u to not know this????? its been part of journalism for so long now. all of the fake scandals created, warped facts, misquotes, etc. is all been part of journalism. get a clue please.

and i named the big threats u dunce. floyd went into retirement for a reason because there were no good excuses to duck them. he only got out of retirement once it was all safe and clear. it's easy to understand if u put aside ur bias.

The reason Mayweather opted for the buyout rather than waiting for the May 6 result was because the contract had a limited window for the buyout, one that expired before the De La Hoya fight. However, Arum said he would have extended the window if Mayweather had asked. What Arum wouldn't do, he said, was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.

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."

So Arum saying he would have fought Margarito, Cotto and Hatton....out of context? Where?

Also Ill find Cotto too green build bim up article when i get home..straihht for Arums mouth

Thats how i feel about whoever started the whole "doe" thing

What does being fiercely competitive have to do with being the best?


Exciting fights don't make you the best, winning does

That statement firmly stamps my believe that the media can't relate to a fighter whom makes it look easy more than not...they favor competitive losers or good losers

you got owned, get over it.

Also, I too would rate Hopkins over Pacquiao and way over Mayweather in an ATG list. Hopkins is top 15-20 and Pacquiao is towards the end of that top 20.

I'm blown away people actually use it in a serious context.

I don't disagree with Pacquiao being the best of the three mentioned if you consider only the 2000s. That being said it would be very difficult to make a case at the moment that Pacquiao should be rated higher than Mayweather considering the totality of both their careers. I certainly couldn't.

Would you consider Marciano greater than Joe Louis considering the totality of both their careers??

I mean, Marciano did demolish Joe Louis and retired undefeated at 49-0!!

Because I wouldn't consider him greater, just like I wouldn't consider Mayweather greater! But to each his own

Atrocious analogy.

Yeah, because the situations are exactly the same. Put more thought into it next time.

This has the truth in it so of course it will get ignored and people will just continue to post the same BS they was told by somebody else who is misinformed and clearly wasn't watching boxing very long lol
