Is it just me or Amir Khan is starting to annoy the hell out of me? He's a good boxer but he talks too much by taking shots at Floyd for the past year, and then how he's complaining about his loss against Peterson last month.

Dude Khan's name isnt even worth mentioning until he beats someone good. How dare he even mention Mayweather. Peterson laid hands on him. Got Em!!

Latest rumors are saying that Floyd and Manny will fight in November in a bigger spot. Also they are saying Floyd will fight Cotto May 5th and Manny will fight Bradley June 9th.

I actually aint to mad about this. As long as the two fight before 2012 is over with then thats ok. I also think both of their respective fights are interesting as well. I think Bradley is capable of upsetting Manny but he has to knock him out because we all know Manny wont lose a decision especially with a big fight with Floyd coming for November.

As for Cotto, I dont think he can beat Floyd but I do think he is back to his old self and could make the fight interesting for a while before Floyd either knocks him out or win on points. Got Em!!

Yeah I rather see Mayweather fight Cotto because it's a different bout. If it becomes official, I'd most likely order that fight.

Manny said he won't fight over 147lbs against Cotto. I rather see undefeated Timothy Bradley take the stage in May/June against Pacquiao.

The whole Mayweather-Pacquiao seems to be rushed so it's November 2012 or never.

I recall hearing Mayweather was up on domestic abuse charges and got 3 mos. Has he served this time and has this affected any Title bouts? What little I know about him is that he's been called (by some) the best pound for pound fighter ever. I've never seen him fight as I haven't followed boxing since the Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Duran era.

He was due in jail on the 6th of January. His advisers reconsidered the judge stating that he reserved a fight on May 5 at the MGM Grand. His adviser also stated that Mayweather helps the economy in Vegas bring in "X" amount of money (millions) when he fights so the judge let him off the hook and has still has to serve his 87 day in the County jail staring June 1, 2012.

He's one one of if not the best in this generation hands down and you can arguably say the same for Manny Pacquiao. IMO, I love Floyd and I enjoy what he does but his fights after Oscar De La Hoya in 2007, and Hatton weren't as challenging. Since then he fights every other year. He will always be criticized why he kept ducking Pacquiao, and you can say the same why Pacquiao neglected to take drug testing demanded by Mayweather who started this crap since Pacquiao rose to the top in 2008.

Sounds as though Mayweather caught a break. How is his earning strength in Vegas correlated with a lesser sentence for beating up women? I don't get it.

Are you saying Mayweather and Pacquio have yet to fight, even though Pacquio has been the #1 contender for more than 3 years?
