    I love the hypocritical nature of boxing.
    It's not that we as fans are fine with this but the circumstances as of late, have made us sort of immune to this, and Floyd was the one who started this yo-yo and then Pac follows suit.

    When Floyd forced Hatton to move up, I knew Hatton would not win,
    When Manny moved up to fight Hatton at 140, I know Hatton was going to get stratched, I said 5th round knock out btw. Floyd also moved up to 154 and just bored us with a snoozer. ODLH moves down to fight Manny and I knew ODLH was going to get owned.

    Suddenly we have Floyd returning and forcing a guy to practicly move up two weight divisions, two of which he has never faught in ever.

    But the trend seems to continue, we all got used to the idea of PBF vs JMM but no one wants to pay to see it

    Now, Manny should move up to 147 or call Cotto down to 140. Manny has shown he is perfectly capeable of handling himself in either division. There is nothing to do at 140, how many times can top tier fighters go thru Malignaggi? lol Paulie is not even good.

    I seriously believe that Manny can handle his own at 147 but he should go after the baby of the bunch and this being Berto if Berto has the heart and then Manny should explore his options. Cotto looks a bit shot to some, Mosley is old and getting older, so Manny, IMO has a great chance.

    I have no idea what is going on with these so called negotiations between Arum, Team Cotto and Team Pacquiao. I am confused and I have stopped reading on the subject. I will just wait until we hear something affirmative on the matter.

    Cotto at 140 gets startched by Manny,
    Mosley? I don't know
    Cotto at 147 against Manny would be a good fight.
    Cotto does not do very well against SouthPaws and he also struggles against smaller dudes who move around a lot. (Tony was not small) I wont even get into this as their are too many things to argue and it will be kicking a dead horse to some. Cotto lost to Margarina and that was that.

    Right now, we don't have much going on in the sport, so I hope someone does something because this is getting frustrating.

    We should have a boxing battle royal, for charity even.
