    no he wasnt. Your trying to act as if Marquez called him while floyd was still with TR but it was AFTER he left TR. ur acting like Floyd had to choose out of Margo and Marquez when. those are 2 different time frames. so, when it comes to margarito he turned him down for Oscar to make 25 mill @154. when he came back to fight marquez he was not with TR. get your story straight.

    This is a decent post, save one thing: Hopkins looked like dog**** against Calslappy, not to mention he lost. Pavlik expected Hopkins to gass again.

    -floyd (among others) was called out by margo and jmm. he choosed jmm but declined margo. margo and floyd were both with arum at that time and 8mil would have been floyd's highest payday at that time.

    -floyd fought baldomir (not dlh for 25mil) instead of margarito at that time.

    Khan vs Prescott, prescott was meant to make Khan look good headlining on his first PPV and he also had a dangerous looking record but wins against bums made the fight easy to sell to the public because of his high KO percentage.

    pavlik vs hopkins. pavlik team thought they would just steam roll through the ancient hopkins who had a 20 year disparity in age to kelly, team pavlik even going as far as saying kelly would be the first to KO bernard and all that stuff and we all saw that happened:smoke

    Haye vs Harrison i no Haye won the fight but it was such a terrible performance by Audley, and after the all the promotion of the fight by Haye about how much this fight meant and how tough and important it was going to be if effectively turned alot of the british public against him going into the klitschko fight it also finished of sky box office for boxing which isnt a bad thing :hey

    Khan v Peterson

    Khan was already looking past Peterson at a Mayweather bout, then Lamont came along & derailed the whole Khan hype train

    well, i dont know if i can call that a cherry pick because Peterson was his mandatory. BUT Khan treated Peterson as if he was a cherry pick and looked passed him and ended up losing. that fight gets a shout out in this thread :yep
