Agree with that.I think Alvarez has big potential.He has an impressive record but he needs a few more fights like Mosley before he even thinks about Mayweather

That could be fun yes.So who ya got vandeleur?

[vandeleur]

Ok I will put my virtual money were my mouth is..
I go for mayweather to knock cotto out in the tenth .
And for Alvarez to win on points .

Don't know how we can score this , any ideas closest round wins ?

I am tempted to say Floyd by KO late in the fight,But i can see Floyd fighting smart rather than standing and banging with Cotto on the chance he may take a big one on the chin.He has a height and reach advantage.I think Cotto will try and Control the ring throwing shots to the body and maybe stepping it up in the later part of the rounds trying to steal it.Floyd exchanges a little but in general uses his superior movement to evade him.Cotto starts to tire by about round 7 and Floyd steps it up a gear and picks him apart

Floyd on points

I'm holding back on making predicitons until nearer the fight.

I'm not sold on Alvarez yet. I need to see more in just about every department......

[binnie]

Virtual betting is a good idea.....

[vandeleur]

am trying to think of a way of doing it so its easy and no hassle ...every time i come up with something its sounds to complicated making it less fun than it should be .. will drink some more stella and muse some more .

[binnie]

Floyd has said today that Mayweather-Pacman won't happen because of Bob Arum.

[vandeleur]

Yeah i read that .... also good reports on how good floyd is looking and training......i think its boxing itself that is gonna miss out with this fight not happening

[binnie]

I still think it will happen when Arum realises that there's really nowhere else for Manny to go - once he reallizes its' 'Floyd or retire' he'll be less reticent to sacrifice the cash cow.....

[vandeleur]

fingers crossed , am with sugar ray in the fact people are retired a long time and when it happens you want to know that you were the best , if they both retired without fighting each other there will always be the .. they were legends but ( insert name of opponent) comments

Say what you will about Don King, but he would throw his fighters into the fire quickly and for as much money as possible. He made the biggest fights because he wasn't protective of his fighters. If they got beat he would just sign the guy that beat his fighter or find the next great one. It is a shame Don was a swindler of fighters' money. Arum could learn a thing or two from Don when it comes to shitting or getting off the pot.

I honestly have no Idea how Virtual gambling works.So when somebody thins of a way they will have to explain it to me .

I am glad Floyd can see the Pacman fight won't happen because of Arum,We have all been saying that for a long time.Hopefully Pacman will see it too
