Mayweather avoids jail time until June, May 5 fight could be announced next week

Cotto needs to win big. If he fights Floyd and lost, or fights Pac and lost. He becomes Mosley to Cotto. Cotto-Alvarez now is much better than later. We all know like pointing the finger to Arum protecting Pac is pointing the finger to GBP. Alvarez is a kid and a bully. So nobody knows how a kid will react at the short end of the punches. Nor a bully been bullied. I don't want that they might compared him to Ortiz. "I should not be getting these much of punches." We will never know. I would like him to fight Clottey or Margacheato. That will be my measuring stick. JCCJr. has an issue on weights. Either he goes down or they move up. For the Mexicans, they would fiest if this fight happens.

The drug test and random testing is agreed upon. Floyd 1, Pac 0. Floyd wants the moster share. If Pac agrees then its Floyd 2, Pac 0. Seriously. A drug test is already considered a discrimination. Now to lower my fee? The fight has not started and you've been slapped? How deep down on earth should one go. Lucky for us all we do is pay the PPV, not getting punched with a broken pride. What is a small demand compared to a big demand. Demanding Pac not to use Cleto Reyes gloves but Everlast gloves. Its small but big for Pac. Demanding Floyd not use xylocaine. It may be small, but big for anyone who's fist hurts in a short period. One should stand in principle. If Floyd s inline with his principle he should not be at fault. But if Pac is in line with his principle and step away from a fight. He is not at fault too. But somehow his to blame? Any boxer can demand on what it needs to make things happen. But when you got two people that are crowd drawers, heroes in there own rights. To demand to make the other look lowly. For me is not right.

Again your opinion is as good as mine. Freddie Roach is displeased of the outcome. But his not the one fighting JMM 4. And Roach knows Pac-May, is not gonna happen right away, just like the previous negotiations. To say the least, Roach has mentioned all along there is no one out there except Floyd. So many accounts Roach said one thing, Arum said another. In the end Arum-Pac agreed who to fight, except Roach. A plan matchups are as good as negotiations. But a signed contract of both boxers to fight is as real as a done deal. And before long Pac fought Clottey, Margacheato, Mosley and JMM 3. We expect Cotto, Bradley and JMM 4. Here comes Rios, Alexander etc. Because negotiations failed, too many demands. TR is not running out of options. There will be a lot of Clotteys who cares less who gets what, just a chance to exchange punches with Pac. It is silly. But its the easiest way to make fights. No more grandstanding or extravagance.

Banana, actually from what I'm hearing is that Mayweather doesn't have any big demands outside of the olympic style testing. We all know he's going to take the lions share as far as PPV split. I can't say honestly that Pacquiao beat Marquez 3x. I'll give him one that he was robbed a point on. Other second fight was a draw...last fight, I'm sorry but Pacquiao lost that fight and was given a decision. I'd like to see JCC Jr. - Cotto or Canelo one day. Either one of those fights would sell massive tickets and PPV numbers easily. Just imagine if we get a Cotto - Canelo fight..that might be the highest grossing fight that can be made outside Mayweather - Pacquiao.

It wouldn't be silly at all. If it was silly then Arum and Pacquiao themselves wouldn't have been considering it. What is being said is that Pacquiao - Bradley and Marquez - Peterson with the winners fighting each other and if Pacquiao can win both fights it's once again, time for Mayweather - Pacquiao. Even Freddie Roach is on record saying he wants Pacquiao - Marquez IV before a Mayweather fight. I guess it would be silly though if you didn't know what exactly is being discussed..

Pac-Bradley is a long shot. Cotto wants the communication line open in case Floyd demands a lot and negotiations fail. At least he has something to go back with. Pac-JMM 4 is ridiculous. I know who won 3X... There is nothing to proove. JMM4 will still be doing what he does best, stay away from Pacquiao. JMM is not going to take out Pacquiao by force. What his doing is showing how to stay away from a puncher like Pacquiao. And Pacquiao will be Pacquiao chasing the opponent who does not want to engage.

At least in Cottos case, we will surely enjoy 6 rounds of boxing classic before one of them retires. I will get my moneys worth for 6 rounds, than a full 12 rounds of crap. Pac-Bradley is about headbutts.

There are reason why Pac-JMM 3 and Pac-Bradley didn't happen. Certainly for one, "money". Arum has said before about promoters that likes a free ride. They'll dictate their profit share, but not the marketing of the fight. I remember Lou DiBella gave his proposal to Arum for a Pac-Berto match. It did not materialized, for one the money. Pac is the crowd drawer and to demand for a profit share as if his an equal. To the eyes of Arum thats #$%$ I remember Murad Muhammad trying to match Pac against TR fighters. Pac has to received a small amount against Ledwaba, GBP-Barrera, TRs JMM and Morales. A little sacrifice here and there has proove its worth in the long run and move up the ladder. But these boxers who wants to fight Pac, does not have the heart and mind like the underdog Pac. They don't want to proove everybody wrong. They just want a full share. As if they already lost, so they want to make sure to make ends meet. GBP, DiBella, Shaw they want a big slice. JMM left GBP. Bradley left Shaw following Donaire. Its not Arums fault, that he has a lot of very good prospects, a lot of options. I just wonder can't they not find boxers like Gamboa and Lopez and developed them to be the next stars. Donaire is not Shaws first choice. Bradley is left out. JMM became GBP step ladder for other prospects. Martinez is hanging out in the gymn. Berto is waiting for the next big thing. Arum is prepping JCCJr.. He maybe match with boxers he can overcome. But everyfight his learning and getting gutsy. It maybe a joke. Oneday he would whoop Canelos #$%$ The more JCCJr. get fights, the more he improves himself and makes a name for himself separate from his legendary dad.

Well, Bradley - Pacquiao..I refuse to pay for..Pac - Cotto II I would've at least watched and might have been talked into buying..Done deal until Pacquiao refused to fight at 150 lbs. I don't get that at all..He fights Margarito at 150 but not Cotto? I like Bradley a lot, but this is another case where Top Rank fighters fight Top Rank fighters. I'd rather see Pacquiao - Marquez IV than this sham of a fight. Bradley could pull it out but I think Pacquiao is simply going to bust him up badly.

I hope Mayweather fights Canelo or Cotto with a extreme preference on Canelo. Mayweather will move up to 154 to fight both of them is what I'm hearing. I like the sound of that..If it's not Cotto or Canelo then I'm not buying anything period. There are simply too many fighters of elite status for both Pacquiao and Mayweather fight.

Can you see the difference now. My last time responding to you with this ridiculousness. If you don't get it fine by me.

Boxing is not reviving, its hear to stay. For the Octagon #$%$.. Stop wasting time on the Octagon. Have you ever tried or been a bare knuckle fighting or experience life and death fights. A real fight has no absolute rules. No such thing as a fair fight or a gentlemens fight. And there is no such thing as a one on one. For sure Dad and Uncle Roger will jump on Manny when they see Floyd catching his breath. Because its bare knuckle that you don't care where the punches going. You may punch the mouth, but some humans got strong teeth that it could cut through the flesh of your knuckles. You may punch the temple or the forehead, but some humans got thick skull that it could crush or break your knuckles. There are reasons why boxers has to use "pillows". Not just to protect the opponent but yourself and your knuckles. If boxers died in the ring with "pillows", how much in bare knuckles. To brag about "A FIGHT FOR REAL", is a displacement of opinions.

There is No reviving boxing - drop the goddamn pillows and step into the Octagon and fight for real - Mayweather wants to end his career undefeated - Pac is a threat to that - he isn't going to fight him -

KNEL. There is a lot of ways to delay justice. Floyd and his lawyers knows the dates of their court hearing. What excuses that is legal in court to delay justce. One is health issues, accidents and double jeopardy (you can be set free). So they scheduled May 5th with no absolute opponent. Knowingly the outcome of the hearing. And started a campaign. We all know its all twisted. We will see if justice is blind in future court hearings.

KNEL. If there's is one big thing Roach did to add to Pacquiao's skill is the (left and right) movement. Pacquiaos' right has been there, he does not have the discipline. He got used of KO opponent with the left. From Ledwaba up to Diaz, oftenly he moves forward and step back. We saw some movements during the Barrera 2. After a punch he goes to the opponents left, to stay away from the others right. But it did not show during JMM 2 and Diaz. It showed up clearly during Oscar and Cotto. But not much in Clottey, Margacheato, Mosley and JMM 3. Like Roach said, you can't teach any new but just refine it. At the end a boxer will resort to what he knows by heart. The thing that puts him to where he is now. (Taken from the interview after the Hatton fight.) That said, JMM is not going to alter his skill in a 4th fight and so is Pacquiao. For Cotto's part he wants to be a boxer. Like Stewart and his new Cuban trainer they resorted to boxing. As you can see he outboxed Margacheato 2 and stepped away? The downside, there were a lot of chances, he could have done more damage and try to finish the fight. It turned out to be a Klitschko classic, box all the way to the end. It made boxing boring.

KNEL. I've seen Mosley fight in the Olympics. I am kind off surprise he made the US team. For one he lacks the jab. His more into close range hooks and semi hooks. As we know how the scoring goes in the amatures. KDs and clean jabs are scored the same =1. And we know US amature boxers are prep for the professionals than winning gold medals. When he fought Oscar twice? I did not see much technique, except after scoring a punch, a clinch or step back. And when he faced Forest 1, he got a taste of boxing and still lost to Forest 2. Just shows he does not know to adjust. He faced Wright and lost 2X against another boxer. He lost to Cotto and Floyd Jr.. I give him credit for winning against Margacheato. But if we look deeper, his close encounters plays exactly with Margacheato's skill set. Take out Margacheatos excuses, his drain weight and the mental about the hand wraps. Mosley had a better chance winning. Mosley does not even need to waste energy from catching up an opponent. (The exact reason I had for watching Pacquiao-Mosley fight. No more #$%$ no backpedaling but just slug it out. It turn out a dud.) If Mosley does have technique, must be his kind of skill that gave him a high ratio of KOs. But not an all-around boxer. Its different compared to Ali and Foreman. They both got techniques they perfected. Foreman on the other continued to use the same technique against younger modern boxers and still won. He was 24-0, 22 KOs from 1987-1990 before loosing to Holyfield. 3-0 before loosing to Morrison. Then knocking out Moorer.

Yes it is actually different. But whatever you want to believe. It isn't that serious. And you fail to display at what point I called you a derogatory name. It isn't me who refuses to accept reality. That is solely on your part.

Oh..and you said this "Cotto is one of my all time favorites, a true warrior, but I think he's taken too much damage, doesn't have the "that" hurting power anymore, and should consider retirement." So yes, you did say he needed to retire. No trump card..it's simply common sense if you've been watching, boxing matches.

The only being dismissive is yourself. The article isn't about his jail sentence and what he did. That was a blog created many months ago. This blog is originally about him getting his sentenced pushed back to fight an opponent on May 5th. Read the blog again buddy.

I'm not incorrect. Let's look..Michael Jordan sustained his peak skills and prime for over 5+ years. The same can be said about Peyton Manning, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps..I could keep going..Fighters primes and peaks are extremely variable and there's no set time when they begin to deteriorate.

Sure..let's get back to the facts since you still haven't answered any questions I've asked. By the way I treat everyone with respect. Notice I didn't disrespect Banana nor Mangler even though we disagree. Banana himself will say I'm respectful even when I don't agree with hm.

I never called you a "hater" I stated you had "hate" for Mayweather. Completely different. Simply judging by the comments you made it's pretty simple to tell that you haven't watched Pacquaio nor Cotto fight recently at all. You said Pacquiao is on a decline which he isn't. You said he doesn't have speed anymore when he's been suffering from calf cramps..Which..had you watched his fights, he's said it himself as well as commentary was informed of such by Roach. You said Cotto needs to retire when he's far from retirement.

Your prime years are the years in which you can compete at the highest level. You peak when you've maxed out the abilities that you've gained and already have. Neither one are out of their prime and still at there peaks. Funny, I never called you a name but I guess that's what happens when you don't like the truth. Pacquiao is not on a decline..everyone knows that. Not one writer has said Cotto is on the decline so I'd love for you to show me who said that and where it's posted at.

The only one here dismissing truth and facts is yourself. As long as you've been blogging with us you of all people know the topic of a blog changes within the blog. You're simply hiding behind the title of a blog to make your point valid. Which is why I said you're acting childish. You're far from realistic about the discussion at hand...

btw..the topic of the blog is about Mayweather getting his jail time pushed back. It isn't about what he did. It states his time is pushed back for May 5th fight. The article is about trying to make a fight with Pacquiao. smdh...

No, as long as you've blogged with us you know the discussion on the blog changes constantly. You're simply using the title at an attempt to seem like it's relevant to the conversation at hand. Which is rather childish to be honest. Just stick to talking boxing with me b/c you clearly don't have the mental rationale to understand what every else clearly does.

I didn't say Cotto didn't have noodle legs. What I said is that his knees weren't shaking b/c they weren't. Yes, fighters go on the decline, peak, etc. What I'm saying is that isn't the case for Pacquiao. He's still at the peak of his game. To say he isn't clearly shows you haven't watched recent fights of his. He's not losing speed or quickness, cramping in your calfs limits how you move. His power is still as explosive as it was 2 years ago. Cotto is still in his prime and still at the peak of his abilities as well.

A decline is what we saw with Shane Mosley. A decline is what we saw in Kelly Pavlik, Erik Morales, Barrera, Wright, Hatton, etc.

make him go to jail no matter what the time of day is, this is not the fights as I remember neway,
I use to watch the fights on friday nite's on tv for free, now it just for money, let em fight and let em do it the way we used to watch em, for FREE

Mosley like Pacquiao are not technical boxers. All they do is go toe-toe and see who is the better puncher. When Cotto started moving away from Mosley and Pacquiao they had a hard time cornering and catching up. And so it happened with Floyd Jr. include Mosleys age it just made it difficult. The morning after Pacquiao-Cotto, Floyd instantly said the fight will be easy. I'll woop his butt. With Floyds technical skills and cunning he knows the gameplan would be. He just hesitates because like any boxers demise is taking for granted the punching power of the other. Yes, Floyd can win against Cotto. But just one of Cotto's body punch can fold Floyd. Its feasible with Mosley, Pacquiao, Sergio, Clottey and Margacheato. Floyd can go 11 rounds unscratched by Cotto but a sucker punch from him can do the thing.

Take for example Ali-Fraizer 1. Both were undefeated. Ali did the dance and boxing 101 to Fraizer. While Ali was trying to dance away from Fraizer a jumping "LEFT" hook put Ali to the floor. Ali survived but lost on points. Take Marciano-Walcott. Walcott floored Marciano in the 1st and was ahead in all 3 judges by 4 and 5 rounds coming to the 13th round. Marciano who is well known as a heavy puncher KOd Walcott with a "LEFT" hook. Punchers like Cotto would have a better chance than Ortiz, Canelo, Khan and Berto against Floyd. And Floyd knows it as well.
