Anybody Else Commending Margo For Not Fighting Mosley?

Margarito is a joke.

He needs to accept the rematch with Williams and get schooled again.

He is also a hypocrite.

 

Mosley isn't what he was, but what he is for the most part is still pretty damned good, for the most part. He's still better at welterweight than he was at 154, he's still a big name, and he's still a legitimate top 5 contender.

Williams is moving up to 154lbs, and as Thread Stealer stated, the Cotto rematch isn't till next summer. So...that leaves Margo sitting on the title, or fighting someone who simply isn't as credible, or marketable as Mosley would be.

How is that to be commended?

 

dog its boxing....

hell no

if shane was really washed up.. he wouldnt have taken the fight..


he even said he would think about it because he didnt like his performance after he beat mayorga

you cant be serious

 

if he was maybe coming off a loss or completely and totally washed up (which he isnt)

maybe.

but margarito didnt even state that as a reason for turning down the fight... it was a money issue... if he got 10 mil he would have still fought him.

so really this thread makes no sense

 

Commending him? Maybe as a business man, but not as a fighter. The win over Cotto was dominant, but there are other competitive fights out there for him. Shane is one. Clottey is one. P-Dub is one. And now he's whiffed on all three.

Waiting on Cotto is cherry picking. Frankly I have less interest in that fight than the above three.

But in the end, I can't blame Tony. He paid his dues to get to the top, and now he's doing what Mayweather did to him for all those years. It's business, but it's not commendable, and it's not doing jack sh*t for the sport.

 

i was looking forward to the fight alot,im dissapointed its not happening,there 2 of my faves.

 

Just like Hopkins-Pavlik was a pointless fight because Pavlik beat JT twice who beat Hopkins twice, right?

 

oh ... i thought you were giving margo props for saying no to shane because shane was kind of washed up... when the real reason is a financial one..

i just misinterpreted you

 

Give you a break? The only reason AM didn't take the fight is because of the money. First Williams, then Clottey, and now Shane.

 

Yeah, but you guys kept saying AM was entitled to a money fight, and now he isn't fighting. We tried to tell you AM isn't a draw. Nobody wants to pay ppv money to see him fight unless it is with a top of the line fighter. He can't carry a ppv all by himself. It's not his fault, it is just reality.

 

guarantee his next fight only does 225k or less
