    This is why I rarely come on here.

    if you had seen another thread I started which was taken down about two hours ago it was concerning the hate Floyd gets and I dont like it.

    I am talking about 07 Marg not 12 and dont give me that Shane bull , he was 37 and hadnt fought in 15 months.

    Lastly stop putting moneyteam its juvenile.

    Yep I forgot age on effects Floyd's opponents. Mayweather is still 25 years old and not fighting in his 5th weight class. Silly me.

    Cheato still gets schooled.

    The Margarito fight came with strings in form of long term contract with Bob Arum. Floyd would have been willing to take on Margarito but not at the expense of not getting De la Hoya fight or a Cotto & Hatton fight for a guaranteed $10 million. Bob Arum low balled him on the guarantee for the Cotto and Hatton fights and told him the De la Hoya fight is "simply not in the cards..."

    So Floyd stalled while evaluating his options and decided to buy out his contract and go a more independent route.

    For pennies in comparison to what he's pulled in over his last five fights. He's on his way to becoming the most successful prize fighter in the history of the sport; he's paid for literally every aspect and source of income for his events. Unprecedented, what he's done since leaving TR.

    It's going to be hard for people to take you serious if you go around talking like this.

    Margarito was a slow ass plodding bum who would've gotten schooled, and didn't even deserve to be in the same ring as someone like Floyd

    TS cites 2007 as the year which Margarito would have beaten Mayweather.

    Let me confirm this question: The same 2007 where Margarito lost a 12 round fight to Paul Williams? In a fight where he looked fought the same way that he always looks and fights?

    Yeah, 2007 Fighter of the Year Mayweather would have totally lost to Margarito. Mmm hmm, yep.

    Arum wouldn't have made that fight despite all the trash talking. Arum already had Cotto and Margarito planned for one another.

    Whoever thinks Mayweather would be "scared" of a one-dimensional no defense zero skill cheating fraud like Margarito is automatically ******ed.

    You could bet already that he would lose with loaded gloves, as he did against Williams.

    For being considered "stupid" and "dumb" by the many who flock on here and spend an exorbitant amount of the their time concerned with Floyd and his fan base, I'd say he's doing alright. These people simply cannot help themselves from mentioning his name. If he takes another fight in the fall, he'll be the top earning athlete with ease and with virtually no commercial endorsements needed to supplement or prop him up. Consider his talent, skill level and achievements in the sport and he's what every fighter wishes they could be.
