    If I was PBF I would fight Pacquiao now and then build a fight with Margarito.

    If he held wins against these two guys, well.. that'll be great, just leave it at that.

    Why doesn't he just fight Pac on the Margarito/ Cotto 2 card? Think that'd set up a clash quite nicely...If he beats Pac that is...

    he gets credit for the first barrera fight, the second was meaningless. he should have fought guzman or soto,

    morales kicked his ass the first time floyd has never lost:deal how the **** do you accomplsih more by losing:yikes

    jmm kicked his ass the first time and pac got a gift in the 2nd fight. you think floyd would have any trouble with marquez:lol:




    you left out jesus chavez, diego corrales, and carlos hernandez. all three would whip pac's ass :deal floyd's resume dwarfs pac's.

    once again how many legitimate wins dows pac have in his fourth weight class:hat

    did pac become linear at 135 like floyd di at 147:deal

    what has margarito accomplished at 147 besides 5 losses. please list his accomplsihments you know like trinidad at 147:deal does margarito's accomplsihments compare to floyd's:admin

    once again since we are on the topic of accomplishments what has margarito acomplished comparable to floyd. is he on a 8 year wn streak, has he defended his title at least 15 times, what is it about margarito that would add to floyd's legacy, like say a undefeated trinidad, hoya, or mosley would have.


    morales is not superior to corrlaes, barrera is not superior to castillo, and marquez is not superior to ricky hatton:deal floyd's resume has 5 future hofers how many does pacs's have.

    Floyd wants Paq., probably @ a catchweight after Paq. beats Hatton convincingly. Floyd is betting on this but if Paq. loses, then he has a fall back position with the other welters (I'd prefer Williams), or he'll find a reason not to fight them.

    I've got a feeling Pac. will beat Hatton worse than Floyd did and that will set up their megafight.

    lol you know that if Margo beats Floyd, everyone will say that Margo is a MW fighting at WW even though they are both making the weight limit.

    and if Pac beats Floyd, everyone will say that Floyd was rusty and inactive and coming out of retirement.

    So its just normal that in the unlikely case that Floyd beats Pac, especially if its at WW, people will point out that he was much bigger. Its just logical. Just like peope always say Floyd was hurt against Castillo.

    I usually hear this typical "Cotto quit" bull**** from you all ****in' day and read read read about more and more garbage coming from your ridiculously pixelated avatar...but realize this...

    Vasquez quit after a broken nose...Cotto had a broken nose since round ****in' 2 busted lip after round 6 and a cut eye after round 7...AND STILL FOUGHT ON!

    Yea he quit...but it was certainly taken out of him

    Vasquez on the other hand decided to call it a day and just opt to change the way he fought and won the trilogy...

    What makes you think it'll happen again? Cuz it happened to Cintron? :lol:

    Doesnt work that way...

    You can make the case that Pac's resume is better, I can't go against you there and might even agree with you.

    But how did Mayweather run from anyone?, care to mention with logical proof?

    Hell no they won't, if Marg wins then Floyd lost to the man he "ducked" since he was born. I'll be surprised to see people saying anyting negative to discredit that win. I don't see any threads about how Margarito beat a smaller Cotto. It's pretty simple and clear, Margarito is loved and Mayweather is hated, we know who the negative comments will target. If Mayweather wins then he beat a one-dimensional fighter who lost to Williams anyway.

    Wrong, if Pac beats Floyd most will say that he still beat a bigger fighter who was P4P#1 before retirement. It's only Floyd's problem he retired and decided to come back, sometimes breaks like that can actually prove to be better rather than bad. Rusty or not, I expect Mayweather to be the favorite in this fight and if he loses then it's all fair. I won't expect to see any excuses made up for him considering he will be the hated one going into this fight too.

    It's obvious to me that the negative comments and bull**** excuses always target the hated fighter. Mayweather is a hated fighter, pretty much like Calzaghe, whatever these guys do something negative must come up, till they lose it's all theories and hating bull**** with zero facts to back them up.

    I think that will be ridiculous for Pac, Marquez/Diaz/DLH/Hatton and Mayweather all after each other?

    That's too much in my opinion, he needs an easy fight or some sort of break in between fights or it's Mayweather next instead of Hatton.

    I think he's avoiding the biggest challenge that is Margarito.
    He may fight him if Arum puts $20m+ on the table, I hope we get to see that offer. I just think that in the midst of his very best year in boxing he would not leave a stacked division he could build a legacy on.

    He ran away from many opponents with the "where's the money" excuse...it's a nice excuse because it gives you enough fuel and "logic" to disprove that he ran away from fights...

    But any inside and outside fan can see he doesnt want to fight the best and risk the 39-1 record...

    He loves the 0 being there and being able to draw skepticism as to whether he is or isnt capable of beating so and so...because there would be no solid answer and it would just end up being "Floyd's more technically skilled and would beat him":roll:

    Boxing never works that way...there are upsets and intangibles that no one can ever calculate or come close to predicting that make the sport worth watching...it's not a chess match of patterns and thought out outcomes...It's boxing...when one punch can set it all off

    Floyd Mayweather very well may be the best...but he certainly hasn't done so to prove it...just simply talk talk talk :blabla

    I'm bored of it and wanna see some ****in' results :good

    Hopefully he comes back and shows the world what he's made of

    If he's avoiding Margarito then why do you think he'll take $20 million to fight him? :huhIf you're avoiding someone, regardless of offer, you will continue to avoid them.

    The fact of the matter is that a fight with Margarito never made sense when Mayweather was active. 1) Better options were available 2) More money was available, if not similar to what Margarito offered though worth more(#1 spot) 3) Margarito's resume was pathetic, his biggest win was Kermit Cintron for crying out loud.

    If Mayweather had no better options and continued to ignore him then I'll agree that he ducked him. Did Mayweather turn down a career high payday for less money to fight someone else when Margarito called him out?

    That's why I don't see the Margarito fiasco are ducking just pure bull**** from Arum as he used it to promote Cotto as well out of desperation and frustration that Mayweather ditched him to make the fight with DLH a possibility and to go for far better offers.

    If you just started watching boxing the last 2-3 years you need to really eat a big bag of Shut the **** up. He proved he was the best. He did not just fight at welterweight you dickless ******. He was a top fighter 8 years ago. He dominated his division and defended his title 9 times against quality guys. Clown ass mother****ers.

    If he already didn't show what he's made of to you then you're probably a new boxing fan or just being in denial. I suggest you check out google for some boxing torrent site to keep up with what Mayweather has done, YouTube or if the connection is as terrible as I might think it is then BoxRec.

    You mention that he turned down to fight the best for crappy fights, even though the boxing public doesn't agree with such hating bias and proved it(Fighter of the year 2007) I want to see you answer a few questions.

    When Mayweather was a new Welterweight, did he have better options than Margarito?, what was Margarito's biggest win at the time?, anyone else he ducked during that time which could have been better fighters than DLH(New weight division, new title), Baldomir(#1 Welterweight), Hatton(a fight awaited since 2005)?, if so mention them.

    Please note that Cotto wasn't even considered an option at the time since he was a new welterweight who was still rising, which is why Arum didn't really start mentioning him as a serious threat till Mayweather retired.
