    In the state of boxing right now, Who is??? He is the biggest name in boxing in this era, Undefeted. You may not like his attitude but u have to admit he is top dog. I bet u that people that don't watch boxing on a regular basis cant name 3 people on p4p list.

    Quite obviously, it's because HBO hates those black guys.

    This is a wild idea but perhaps HBO is losing $$$ because from Cotto's loss to Margo. HBO knows that Margo is not as marketable as Cotto was, therefore they need to call out PBF in order to make up from that $$$....

    What do you guys think??

    Man, you make an excellent point on Floyd's atribute on beating Margo, there are 2 things that I find interesting and were I see a gray area.

    1. You can't necesarily count on Floyd's stamina if he comes back. I mean the guy is retired so actually, who knows? I tend to think that an active fighter will have a better conditioning than a retired one, you know what I mean??

    2. From a Floyd perspective, what really concerns me is the amount of presure he will face against Margo. To me the fight can play as the Floyd vs Castillo 1 with the exception that Floyd won't be able to hurt Margo at any time.

    Floyd can have the best foot work in history but at some point he will be hit with a punch and if he stays in the ropes like he did against Oscar, it will be over for Floyd...

    Very true ,, If floyd decides to come out of retirement and fight margarito 6 to 8 months from now it will be a very close fight .. but if he comes back in a year or 2 years from now and margarito hasn't lost a step then yeah , margarito will make him puke his guts out from the pressure and then KO him in the mid rounds.
