Floyd Mayweather to fight Kermit Cintron!!!

[Lords Gym]

I agree with some of what you are saying Lyle,when WAS the last time Floyd fought someone dangerous and who cares about manditorys,did he not relinquish the belt the very next fight? However,I disagree with you about Hatton,Hatton in actual fact turned down PBF,a couple of times when his camp said they were not ready and they also asked for an astronomical figure. And as for my boy Cotto,no way would PBF run from him!Cotto was and is still learning,getting better,give him a year or so and he will be able to give Floyd a tough fight.

I don't recall Floyd showing interest in fighting Hatton until he saw him struggle against Collazo. Now he can't keep his name out his mouth.

UH no Floyds people offered to fight Hatton way before the Collazo fight and Hattons people said Ricky wasnt ready and they offered after the Collazo fight and they still would not take the fight

At least Hatton is honest. You really think Ricky is scared of fighting Floyd? or is it more likely a business decision to get more exposure in the states, don't forget he has a 3 fight deal with HBO.

Good post bro ! Its all business , the reality is no top pro fighter is afraid of anyone. I can promise you this, now the guys in charge of the business side will be hesitant to put their fighters at risk unless the money appeals.. "the risk reward ratio" as its called. But I can assure you that no top fighter is a afraid to fight anyone. if the fighters were in charge of the match making we would have some great match-ups.. but that’s not how it works. the reality is the fighters fight who there told to fight with few exceptions. its about making that money, in boxing you don't get better with age, so you got to hit the green pastures before your time is up.

Even though Cintron could not handle the best welterweight Margarito he did better than Mosely against Estrada.

PBF probably said "ok, ok, Bob, but first let me fight Cintron to see if Margarito is really as devastating as he looked and as the rumors claim. Shoot I will even fight Cintron for 1 million"

Bob Arum then cries "Why on earth would you want to give up eight million to make one level Floyed?"

Floyed responds "Cause I am the smartest man in boxing and that is why evrybody thinks I'm P4P."


However I am glad to see PBF finally stepping up to a real challenge: compared to his last five fights that is.

This is not about business, it's about fighting. If that was the case then they would be on that reality show with Donald Trump. Jermain Taylor had the option to take on a safe opponent but everyone was calling for him to fight Winky so like the real man he is he put off his tuneup and fought Winky putting it all on the line. He could have milked those Hopkins victories for years like most fighters. He's quickly becoming one of my fav fighters cause of his willingness to fight anyone.

Of course he's scared of fighting Floyd. He knows he has less than a 50% chance of winning, and that if he loses, he'll immediately lose his HBO deal, won't be able to get exposure in the states, and will never make US-level money. I.e., he's scared of fighting Floyd.

so what % chance of winning did he have against Kostya Tszyu? remember him the guy that knocked out Zab in two and Sharmba in three

Yeah really Kostya Tszyu is sooo close to Floyd stylistically Collazo is closer to Floyd in style and what happend to Hatton in that little venture

Castillo is the closest Mayweather has ever come to facing someone of Hatton's style and what happened then? I think Hatton has the best chance of beating PBF.

my point was simply that its ridiculous to assume Hatton is scared of Floyd because he thinks he has less than 50% chance of winning. example being when he chose to fight Kostya.

now to shoot down your 'Collazo is closer in style to Floyd than Kostya'... I can do it in two words...
WELTERWEIGHT, SOUTHPAW.

Floyd is a pussy...a good fighter but a big old pussy

Wow Lyle!!! We actually agree on something.

guess hes a pussy for calling out oscar, too

Calling out is one thing. Actually fighting is another. He probably saw what I saw in Delahoya. He is slower than ever although he looked stronger than ever and his defence is not what it once was. Not to mention the money is ridiculous. I'll take an a** whippin for a couple million. He called out Winky too and now he's pricing himself out. Sounds like a pussy to me.

winky took LESS THAN HALF against jt (who isnt as big a draw/name as floyd)
the fight ended in a draw
then he turns around and says he wants to fight floyd, but he wants HALF of that purse
had winky beat jt, then yes........50/50 might be the way, but it was a draw
it sounds more like winky is the one pricing himself out

please explain how floyd is pricing himself out

Easy...... look at each guys fights the last couple of years. Winky should actually get more because he is the real p4p imo. Winky is in a no win situation anyway cause if he beats him (and he would), everyone would say that Floyd was too small. Floyd has everything to gain even in a losing effort. Especially if he doesn't get KOed. I can't believe you still believe in what Fraud is saying.

winky being p4p number 1 is your opinion
floyd being p4p number 1 is the majority opinion
read that post more carefully again
as far as next fight.........we gotta wait and see who is next (it isnt cintron, boxrec does this all the time)

Sounds like you're riding that Mayweather wave. He has the top spot on most opinions because of hype alone not his recent fights. Winky went and fought JT, a much bigger man and backed him down all night. And all he's done in the last couple of years is dominate every great fighter they put in front of him (I'm talking about Winky of course).

he didnt exactly "dominate" jermain, who he took LESS THAN HALF THE PURSE for fighting
it was a draw
if winky had won that fight (and NOT GOTTEN A DRAW) then yes 50/50 is reasonable
but it didnt happen

Not Jermain but every1 else b4 him. Who has Gayweather fought in the last couple of years thats worthy of him claiming the top spot and big money. The list doesn't compare to Winky's that's for sure.

he hasnt lost or had a draw

so i guess youre going to have to keep crying and sniviling till he loses

I love making guys like you with little knowledge of boxing run out of things to say when I hit you with the facts. Now you wanna talk about me crying......lol. I'm a fan of alot of fighters but when I hear something said about one of my dudes that's true, I agree. You riding Gayweather a little too hard man. Man up.

There WAS a rematch of that first tough fight Floyd had that some people feel he lost. But what has Hatton done since the hard fight with Collazo people felt he lost? he said he'd give him a rematch where is it?

Hatton's lost a little steam...granted...as far as that rematch...I'd say he shelved it for a really tuff mandantory defense against Oktay Urkal.

I'd called that a gimmee...then again...Collazo was supposed to be a gimmee too.
