    Floyd is fighting Oscar Delahoya in his next fight (a rematch of the fight that made the most money in the history of boxing, for those who don't know)

    Miguel Cotto is fighting Alfonso "Who?" Gomez in his next fight.

    If/when Cotto beats Gomez then Margarito/Cintron he will be the big attraction that Mayweather seeks. Until then, he's not much more of a threat that Paul Williams was a short while back............... or even Margarito was a long while back, and he would bring about the same amount of money that Margarito/Williams would have brought before they got beat. Look at the big picture.



    Some people are hella ignorant when it comes to realizing this. Get over it. Bob Arum said that Cotto is tied up for the rest of the year in an interview on boxingtalk.com a short while back while Mayweather is fighting a fight as big as Cotto could ever dream of.

    Mayweather is not fighting the fights that the hardcore boxing fans want, he is fighting the fights that ALMOST EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD wants.

    As for Cotto?.................... What hardcore boxing fan wants to see Miguel Cotto vs. Alfonso Gomez?? Let alone the non-hard core boxing fans.



    Mayweather WILL fight Cotto assuming that Cotto beats Alfonso Gomez and the winner of Margarito vs. Cintron. If he doesn't, only then could people have a somewhat intelligent argument by saying that "Mayweather is ducking Cotto." In the meantime...... just watch your boy Cotto fight the other top welterweights like Alfonso Gomez and Margarito and Kermit Cintron

    Seriously, I don't know what world you and Majesty live in. Did you and him take over never, never land?

    Mayweather is not fighting the fights that the hardcore boxing fans want, he is fighting the fights that ALMOST EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD wants.
    Here is some shocking truth for you.

    I think BoxingScene.com has some of the most biggest Floyd Fans and nuthuggers I have ever seen and yet they are coming to the same realization that Floyd is making a mistake people and fan wise by fighting ODLH and Ricky Hatton.

    The only reason Cotto is booking up his schedule is because he knows that if he waits around like Tony did then he will hurt himself by being inactive. Cotto already said he will stay busy until Floyd grows some nuts and decides to fight him. Cotto is fighting Gomez but who the fuck is Floyd fighting? The Big Show! I bet you too believe this is real and that Floyd actually broke the big shows nose, right?

    Why are you always afraid to see Floyd take the fights most of the fans want to see?

    What did Merchant ask Floyd after his Ricky fight?
    Will you fight Cotto?

    There was no mentions of a rematch with either ODLH or Ricky Hatton.

    The fans want to see Cotto/Mayweather.

    Floyd's nuthuggers want to see Floyd play make believe with the big show and not fight any REAL Welter Weights. They are happy with Floyd fighting ODLH and Little Ricky Hatton.

    You are one of thee biggest nuthuggers I have seen in a very long time. Thank god there are not many like you. I will try to get a hold of Money Mayweather and see if he can send you his jock-strap so you can lick and sniff. I am sure he will be happy to know that he has at least one die hard nuthugger other Leonard Ellerbe that supports him.

    You know I will agree with you that if he chooses to fight Hatton again the WBC should strip him of his title.

    That is a shameful fight to make, rematching a beatdown and both Floyd and Fatton deserve a chorus of boo's if that one comes off.

    For what's it worth I'll be cheering on Lazcano and Steve Forbes next month to hopefully throw a spanner or two in the works.

    Cotto`s not exactly screaming for the fight either though.
    if Bob Arum thought Cotto could beat Mayweather HE would put up enough money for Mayweather to take the fight.
    ol` Bob knows how good Foyd is and does`nt want his prize pet anywhere near him.
    a good boxer beats Cotto.look at the trouble he had with Malingnaggi and Corley .Mayweather beats him.........easy

Because Hatton is smaller in size and he made fun of Mayweather. Cotto should call Mayweather the coward that he is. Just like Mayweather didn't say shit back when Chuck Liddell said he had a 135 pounder that could wax him in a fight. To me if Mayweather got Duk Kim'ed in the ring I would care less. He is a piece of shit human being and a piece of shit for the sport.[/quote]

    I'm sorry and I don't mean to cause trouble, but what a fucking stupid thing to say. I don't like Mayweather one bit, thought I don't think he's ducking Cotto just yet, but wishing death on someone, anyone, who risks their lives to provide ungreatful fuckwits like yourself with entertainment is a ridiculous thing to do. How do you know Mayweather is a piece of shit human being? Do you know him and interact with him personally? I would guess not. You're clearly stupid enough to buy into the image he is selling and to assume that it is a reflection of his personality and not just an projection of a villian character. Good work and keep up the quality posting.
    Hey dumb fuck read what I said before posting . I said I could care less if he got killed or drowned or what ever. I never said I WISH HE GOT KILLED. Big difference.
    Yeah, I'm the dumb fuck here. You're the guy who said he doesn't care if a fighter gets beat to death in the ring because he projects a persona that you are too stupid to see through.

    Well read first. Yes I could care less if Money May was dead or in prison. He dose nothing to contribute to society. He takes up hundreds of millions that could do better in charities . I am not the stupid one you cant see through it and realize it for what it is and how insouciant and supercilious he is. Dose he have charities like Lebron James? If he dose he isn't proud of it. We had Lebron James out here on west Exchange street last Thanksgiving eve handing out 1000's of turkeys. The man has saved schools in Akron and other
    places from being condemned. He has organizations all
    over. He builds parks ,playgrounds, schools, he helps entire cities. Tell me or find me how many tens of millions Mayweather has given away. How he has improved high school grad percentages in Grand Rapids.
    Find me that. If he carried him self more like Pavlik I would like him but I dont. He means nothing to me. I quit watching him after the Judah fight.

    Could you be any more sanctimonious or self-righteous in your last few posts? You have no idea what you would do with millions of dollars, so stop telling everyone how you would change the world with it. My guess it that you would probably give a very small percentage to charity and then ensure than you, your children, and their children were set for life, like almost everyone else does. The overwhelming majority of philantropists are people who are so rich it almost doesn't matter how much they give away.
    Also, by virtue of the taxes he pays Mayweather has contributed more to society than you or anyone in your or my income brackets ever will. And you didn't say you could care less if he was dead or in prison, you said you didn't care if he got Duk Kim'd, which is a ridiculous statement, especially considering were Mancini is from.
    And for fucksake stop going on about South Akron/Ohio like its the only impoverished part of North America or the world. Your plight and your position is no different than millions of other people, and its a better postition to be in than that of the vast majority of people in the world. The fact is, everyone living there is doing better than 98% of people who have ever existed. Ever. Half of the world lives on less than 2 dollars US a day, so shut the fuck up about how hard done by you all are, you live in America, by virtue of that alone you won the lottery when you were born.
    I can't stand Mayweather and I don't know how I ended up defending him, but here are some links to information about Mayweather's charity work:

    Money Mayweather Celebrity Weekend begins - Latest News - The Grand Rapids Press - MLive.com

    Mayweather Jr. announces creation of charitable foundation - USATODAY.com

    Greenbaum Marketing : News : Article

    That's just the few links I managed to find after a quick search.

    I'm sure that's a fair representation of the true characters of all involved .
    Don't believe everything you see. How many fallen idols lie in the trashcan of American pop. culture? I could give you a million examples of people who were not as they appeared to the public.

    I could post a video of PBF fighting a giant dude who is wearing a leotard, but it doesn't mean it was real.

    I truly believe that Mayweather will end up fighting Cotto but last night on FNF was the first time I've heard Mayweather sound like a Mayweather. Like Uncle Rog or his dad. Most of the stuff he said didn't make sense, he kept throwing these ridiculous claims out ($170 million this year ) and was pretty much shameless.

    Still, I think he'll end up fighting Cotto.

    Default Re: Mayweather on FNF says Cotto basiclly isnt worthy. Sounds like a duck to me.

    These “Floyd is ducking Cotto” threads are starting to get old. Fact of the matter is, we’re all trying to predict the future, without letting things pan out by themselves. But let me be as objective as possible while discussing some of the things being thrown around the forum:

    1. Cotto fighting Gomez

    Why are people getting on Cotto’s case about this? The guy is hardly a slacker. He keeps busy, and has always taken on tough opponents, rarely taking a breather. After back-to-back stirring wins over the likes of Judah and Mosley, I think he deserves to scale back a bit before his next mega-fight. He is hardly the only fighter to do this. And Gomez may be no “Mosley”, but don’t dis the guy so much. He’s not totally without skills.

    2. Floyd fighting De La Hoya again

    Only the hardcore Floyd and Oscar fans will claim that the first fight lived up to its hype. And only the most optimistic of those fans will predict that the second fight will be any better. Personally, I was bored to tears by the first fight. Yes, I like boxing, but I prefer a little actual combat thrown in from time to time. Cotto-Mosley had all kinds of boxing, and still turned out to be a classic, fan-pleasing fight. Can’t blame Floyd for going for the $$$, but frankly… I’m not looking forward to it.

    3. Floyd saying Cotto’s not worthy

    Hey, I’ll reiterate my previous point. Whether he’s ducking or not ducking, the fight can’t happen yet. There are previous engagements. But calling Cotto “not worthy” doesn’t quite cut the mustard. Like it or not, Cotto is a major force (and champion) in the welterweight division. You may or may not be a Cotto fan… but you gotta admit, he’s pretty much reached the “worthy” point by now, don’t you think?

    CONCLUSION:

    Only one person on the planet knows whether Floyd has plans to duck Cotto or not……. Floyd. Right now, everyone can talk all they want. But we won’t know whether Floyd really has any intentions of facing Cotto until they’re both done with their previous engagements. It’s at THAT point when we’ll finally know the truth. Personally, I hope it happens. It should be a hell of a fight.

    Still, I think he'll end up fighting Cotto.

    I posted a link to a Bob Arum interview on boxingtalk.com about a week or two ago where Arum said that Cotto is slated to fight the winner of Margarito vs. Cintron after his fight with Alfonso Gomez. Here's the post in it's entirety in case you missed it http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...ed-haters.html

    So while Cotto's schedule is booked for the rest of the year, why shouldn't Mayweather fight Delahoya again? Obviously it made tons of money and a lot of the general population (not boxing fans like us) thought that Delahoya won the fight. Delahoya vs. Mayweather 2 makes sense while Cotto builds up his popularity in his next two fights.

    If/when Cotto beats Gomez then Margarito/Cintron he will be the big attraction that Mayweather seeks. Until then, he's not much more of a threat that Paul Williams was a short while back............... or even Margarito was a long while back, and he would bring about the same amount of money that Margarito/Williams would have brought before they got beat. Look at the big picture.



    Some people are hella ignorant when it comes to realizing this. Get over it. Bob Arum said that Cotto is tied up for the rest of the year in an interview on boxingtalk.com a short while back while Mayweather is fighting a fight as big as Cotto could ever dream of.

    Mayweather is not fighting the fights that the hardcore boxing fans want, he is fighting the fights that ALMOST EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD wants.

    As for Cotto?.................... What hardcore boxing fan wants to see Miguel Cotto vs. Alfonso Gomez?? Let alone the non-hard core boxing fans.



    Mayweather WILL fight Cotto assuming that Cotto beats Alfonso Gomez and the winner of Margarito vs. Cintron. If he doesn't, only then could people have a somewhat intelligent argument by saying that "Mayweather is ducking Cotto." In the meantime...... just watch your boy Cotto fight the other top welterweights like Alfonso Gomez and Margarito and Kermit Cintron
    Just one question, why does Cotto have to fight the winner of Margarito - Cintron? Certainly he's done enough to not have to beat them. If he were to beat Margarito or Cintron, that would probably be his 4th best win as a professional, no real need for that.

    I truly believe that Mayweather will end up fighting Cotto but last night on FNF was the first time I've heard Mayweather sound like a Mayweather. Like Uncle Rog or his dad. Most of the stuff he said didn't make sense, he kept throwing these ridiculous claims out ($170 million this year ) and was pretty much shameless.

    Still, I think he'll end up fighting Cotto.

    I posted a link to a Bob Arum interview on boxingtalk.com about a week or two ago where Arum said that Cotto is slated to fight the winner of Margarito vs. Cintron after his fight with Alfonso Gomez. Here's the post in it's entirety in case you missed it http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...ed-haters.html

    So while Cotto's schedule is booked for the rest of the year, why shouldn't Mayweather fight Delahoya again? Obviously it made tons of money and a lot of the general population (not boxing fans like us) thought that Delahoya won the fight. Delahoya vs. Mayweather 2 makes sense while Cotto builds up his popularity in his next two fights.
    Correction Cotto was trying to land a fight with PBF or Oscar$$$ but Floy decided call it quits (take a break) and then schedule a fight with OScar.

    But Cotto booked his schedule to stay busy. and make a plan to fight th rest of the WW, and if by 2009 FLoyd still doesn't fight Cotto hi will be no longer recognaize by the non boxing fans as the best WW because us Boxing fans know Cotto is the Best WW out there right now

    Default Re: Mayweather on FNF says Cotto basiclly isnt worthy. Sounds like a duck to me.

    Excellent post.

    How can anyone be mad at what Floyd is doing when Cotto is doing the very same thing.....albeit against a much shitter opponent. At least Mayweather is fighting someone who took him to a SD.
