    I guess I'll say it again since you're obviously not able to comprehend. Floyd no longer fights based on who your promoter is. He fights based on if he's felt disrespected. I don't seem to recall Frank Warren landing Hatton the fight. I kind of remember Hatton landing the fight, and also, in case you're illiterate, you'll notice that my first post in this thread was saying I'm ONLY pissed at Floyd, and Cotto will simply regret not calling him out. You'll also notice from previous posts that I think Cotto is the only one with a shot to beat Floyd. So do the board a favor and remove Miguel's penis from your sphincter. I'm through with you cyber tough guy
    LOL

    Floyd fights for what almost all boxers fight, the money.

    Margarito called out Floyd, Hatton called out Floyd. Floyd responded to Hatton calling him out differently cause it was a bigger fight. Floyd dictates who Floyd fights, he doesn't let other people dictate what he does, he doesn't respond to everyone who calls him out.

    When? When did Margarito diss him? Look, I understand what your saying, Floyd dictates who he fights and wants money, but if you have your promoter out their talking for you (Margarito/Arum), that's hardly disrespectful. Hatton dissed him in front of the world, and Ricky did not lose a single fan when he did it. If all it takes to land a fight with the guy is to do that, why would you possibly not even try it just once?

    Match you should do some research. Maybe watch the video of Margarito confronting Floyd at a conference and Floyd crapping his pants. Maybe Margarito openly calling Floyd a "Maricon" in interviews. Hey,if that's not calling out, I don't know what is.

    And I think you'll find Hatton being a small WW with 1 contraversial win at WW and easy $$$ was also a reason Floyd wanted to fight him. Hatton at 140,is the man.147,he's a kid,a contender.

    Hey then that's my bad, I didn't know that and Floyd is a p@ssy for not fighting him then. But Cotto is more like Hatton than Margarito in that there is an overwealming number of people who want to see that fight made and each have huge fan bases.

    I'm still waiting on the headlines. "Floyd Found Dead: Inside sources say he was attempting self-fellatio when the accident occured..."

    If it's true and permanent then it's a sad day for boxing, but not disastrous. Many theories abounds about this and I tend to believe the one where the thinking is that they let Oscar fight the winner of Marg-Cott, hoping Hoya has enough left to get the decision therefore legitimising a genuinely lucrative rematch. Of course if that is true, it could spectacularly backfire if Cotto beats Marg, and then de la Hoya more convincing than Floyd did, since Cotto says he doesn't give a shit about Floyd it would give Miguel the upper hand in any future negotiations.

    Either way, Floyd's incredible talent will go down in history.

    Margarito and Arum both called out Floyd a lot. I don't remember every specific line cause it was a couple years ago but I remember clearly him saying (I think to Roger Mayweather but it was about Floyd) that he'd do to Floyd what Chavez did to Roger Mayweather. There were others but that I remember specifically.

    Floyd feeling disrespected is nowhere near the top of the list, it is a business to Floyd, plain and simple. Floyd jumped out on Hatton's calling him out because he thought the fight was a good idea business wise, if he hadn't he would have just ignored it and the fight would have most likely ended up being made anyway.

    Its a business pure and simple. If you wanted to you could make the case that Cotto calling him out might help slightly in making a fight (its debatable) but it would not be the reason why Floyd went ahead with the fight.
