    No this is for posters like you who relentlessly revise history in order to bash a fighter.

    I'm just proving all the bull **** to be what it is, revisionist bull ****.

    Margarito hadn't publicly called out PBF before that, but he had made an offer for something like 6 million (may have been 4 million) before PBF took the Mitchell bout.

    I know this because I was arguing with Carlito who said PBF was a punk for fighting Hatton cuz he was not at 147. I showed him an article where Arum states that he offered PBF a fight with Margarito when PBF was still at 140 and trying to get Hatton in the ring, but also thinking of moving to WW. He chose Mitchell....but the point of that thread was that Carlito (who was a huge Margo fan) was being a hypocrite because he didn't have a problem with Margarito calling out PBF while he was still at 140, but didn't like PBF calling out Hatton who at least has already fought at 147 once and won a belt there.

    You're using what a poster said on a board as evidence?

    Mayweather was originally supposed to fight Judah for the WW title in November 2005, after Floyd fought Gatti.

    But Top Rank ended up winning the purse bid to promote Rahman-V. Klitschko. That was scheduled to be on HBO PPV on November 12, 2005. This was unexpected. With PPV locked up in Nov 2005, Dec 2005 (Taylor-Hopkins 2), and later Pac-Morales 2 in Jan 06', King and Arum agreed to look at Mayweather-Judah for the future. The April 2006 date ended up staying after Zab lost, much like the Jan 06' date stayed for Pac-Morales 2 even after Morales lost to Stinky Raheem.

    Mayweather decided to fight a southpaw welterweight (new to 147 though) in Mitchell that would have give him some preparation for Judah in styles. One that was also a pretty safe fight, as we all know that Mitchell had seen better days before.

    I honestly don't give a **** as to your motives.

    As for your sources, they're not credible. In other words, they mean nothing.

    No it wasn't.

    Mayweather's last fight under Arum was Zab Judah.

    Fair enough. I guess Arum would know what Mayweather had on the table at that time!!!

    Stay on topic, find more evidence to use against Floyd. Things said in forums don't count.

    One thing is for sure, PBF's stint at 140 lbs was absolute garbage.:tong

    It's sad that you actually believe you've provided real evidence.

    "Mayweather tried to fight god and god ducked him." -Jesus Christ

    Would you ever use that as evidence in another forum?

    Margarito offered Fraud 8 mil and free agnecy to fight him. . .. Goosen offered him 8 mil and no free agency for the baldy fight. . . FMJ had to pay Goosen a cut of his next fight (DLH) - thats why Goosen overpaid for the Baldy fight.

    The money he paid Goosen from the DLH purse was the price he was willing to pay to DUCK Margarito. . . he's a ducker plain and simple and in my book that makes him a coward. :good
