    Weak OP.

    Andre Ward fought Chad Dawson, who was a bigger name than Lucian Bute in the US and somewhat of a dream matchup. Ward vs. Dawson was a very good fight on paper, Dawson had shown some great form at Light Heavy. Ward had also just won the inaugral Super Six, so the feeling was, why should Bute be able to duck that tournament, which he most definitely did, then get a free shot at the winner? Ward would have picked Bute apart, clinched him, elbowed him, butted him, low-blowed him, had him out of there quicker than Carl Froch!

      cheato has three daddy's... Pacquiao, Cotto, Mosley

      Mayweather beat them guys EASY, so good luck thinking Bumarito was a threat

      that fight nearly happened, cheato needed to keep winning, but he lost again... to Paul Williams

      everybody beat that dude... but you think TBE could not LMAO

          two things...

          pac-tards... should never accuse other fighters of steroid abuse

          g-stings... should never criticize another fighters resume lol

          those two things... should never happen

                I remember back in the day Daggum was a funny poster.

                No he is a miserable boxing fan.

                The fighters that he hate kept on winning.

                    Floyd gave Arum one last chance,

                    Floyd-Cotto was talked about for atleast 2 years by that point, since the Gatti fight that Cotto attended when they both were at 140.

                    Floyd asked for guarantees for Cotto and Margarito back to back. 8-10 million each. Arum said no, floyd bought out his contract for like 300k and fought DLH and Hatton for 20 million each after leaving Arum.

                    lol at whining he "ducked" margarito when he instead fought DLH at 154 for double the money, a harder fight, a bigger fight and a more profitable fight.

                    Also Margarito never left top rank, dont you realize all these guys everyone said floyd would never fight finally fought them after they left?

                    Floyd had been TRYING to fight cotto since 2005 and it finally happened in 2012, 7 years later. It took 7 years because Arum refused to make any fights with Floyd until he was literally forced to for Pac and only for that one fight.
