If you ask me that sucks then
Best fighter period my arse lol

He has the license to make the most money. So if thats the case hes not fussed about giving the fans what they want hes just thinking about his back pocket this is exactly why hes fighting de la hoya again. The money not the fans

I think alot of fans are naive on this subject, the majority of fighters fight for the money. A boxing career don't last that long, you need to cash in while you can. Im not saying its right but its understandable IMO.

They defend him even though he does not give them the best fights out there.

He ducked Margarito. He was terrified. Let's see how would you say it? "Even a blind man can see this." "Ray Charles could see that Floyd is ducking Cotto." I can't remember anymore of the lame jokes at this moment. Bernard Hopkins = P4P #1. Margarito = P4p #2.

Its a no-brainer. Oscar gets the big paydays against anyone, every big fight hes had has been a massive payday as well.

Rubish.

He had to fight Oba Car when he was mando to him, that fight is nowhere on the PPV record list.

The best fight the best.
