Does Bob Arum think we are that stupid?

[Rantcatrat]

Does Arum think we are actually that stupid as boxing fans that we'll buy him trying to sale a Cotto vs Pacquiao fight and yet try to put Mayweather down for fighting a smaller guy in the same press conference?

But Cotto has proven in the past that he's willing to fight big physical welters that other fighters avoid like Clottey, Margarito and Mosley. Floyd hasn't done the same.

Arum says a lot of idiotic things, but I don't see a problem with this one comment.

Disagree with this Baldomir though trash was big; ODH was bigger at 154 than most of Cotto's opponents have been; Gatti although poor was bigger than Floyd! other than Marquez and Hatton Floyd has been smaller than most of his opponents.

Of those mentioned, ODLH is the only opponent that was bigger than Floyd. Baldomir wasn't the bigger man. Floyd had almost 2 inches in height on him and 4 inches in reach. Gatti wasn't bigger than Floyd either - Floyd was taller and had more reach than Gatti. Since he has been at 147, he has fought ODLH and Hatton and now Marquez.

he fought also fought judah and mitchell. and to the person who said baldomir wasn't bigger..yes he was..baldomir had already had 5 or 6 fights at 154 before he fought floyd and came in the ring 10 pounds heavier than floyd.

And to what advantage did that extra weight serve Baldomir More power? Strength Stamina I didn't see any advantage.....I mean Monte Barrett destroyed Tye Fields and Ray Mercer just walloped Tim Sylvia and Monte and Ray were the smaller guys.....at some point TALENT plays a role.

Who has fought the more talents fighters? Floyd has had every opportunity to fight anyone he wanted to but has he taken advantage SURE He's taken advantage of fighting the Sharmba Mitchell's, Arturo Gatti's, and the Carlos Baldomir's of 147 and the surrounding divisions

The madness will never stop, they will be waking floyd up in bed at a retirement home years from now and people will still brag about how thier 22 year old fighter will kick floyds 82 year old ass, and the internet will light up with agreement. Shit if they hyped it just a little bit they probably could get a ton of cash out of pepole's pockets beliving calderon could really beat him. Some fans want him to loose that bad. Kinda sad.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

you know what guys.....i think cotto maybe one stop away from a spent force, he hasnt seem quite the same in his last two fights, over the last 2 days i've re-watched some of his past fights ( judah, pinto, toures, mosley, alfonso, margarito ) then i watched the jennings and clottey.............and he doesnt seem the same, seems to have lost some speed and reaction time since the margarito fight.......he seems somewhat.....worn out a bit...i hope its not permanent and they can get of the train and go back the other way, i'm a huge fan of his but at this moment he seems gone somewhat

ouch! That hurts for Mayweather fans! Miguel Cotto is the man at 147! He fights anyone they put in front of him.
