    Floyd walked away from Arum, fought Baldomir and got a shot at Oscar.
    You saying Floyd cut ties with Arum because he was afraid of Margo?

    I was probably one of the few that was looking forward to a Wolfe coached Kirkland against Cotto. So that would be one for me.

    Good shouts. I was legitimately enthused for Guerrero vs. Maidana. I think Guerrero would have won, since it was before Marcos' resurgence under Robert Garcia's guidance.

    Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Jesus Chavez was set to happen for Chavez' lightweight title, but it got cancelled. The card was called 'Pride and Punishment' had a questionable sound to it. Still, I was fired up for that bout.

    He claims it was decided and pressured by his management/trainer. Made it sound like it was a management issue.

    Chavez Sr and Micky Ward were once supposed to duke out.

    Wrong pbf got 8 million plus ppv revenue a shot at the lineal championship and freedom from arum. Stop making stuff up just to be heard because people like me know what happened back then.

    have you seen that video on u tube showing Floyd freaking out when tony walked up to him and polirely asked him why wont you fight me ? Floyd blabbered like daffy duck he was terrified his goons had wandered off he was alone. A guy who was with tony ,a Floyd fan himself, swore to me Floyd literally pooped his pants in fear. Tony would have kicked that cowards ass had they ever met in the ring
