    Scar...why do you insist the fight was so easy to break out of? You are aware of legal contracts right? Especially when it involves million of dollars. Do you HONESTLY think it's that easy to break a contract worth millions? So all Arum has to do is call Direct TV or whoever was carrying the SHCEDULED FIGHT and say "Hey..it's off. Sorry." And call the venue and say the same thing right Scar? Breaking a fight two weeks away is just THAT SIMPLE.... :patsch

    Answer this, was Judah vs. Floyd only a couple weeks away as well? What do you think is easy to break, a fight that is MONTHS away, or one rtwo weeks awsay. Of course you seem to think it's the same for both, but correct me if I'm wrong about that.

    I'm guessing you know deep down inside that was NOT a legit offer from mayweather. But as a Mayweather fan, you can't break mold. Not even to be honest. You, Eze, and a few others really need to cut this "He coulda not fought Gomez" **** and at least try to be realistic on that. We don't live in a pretend world where there aren't any ramification for breach of contract. At least ****in acknowledge that rather then sticking your fingers in your ears or covering your eyes to this.

    Because it was NOT a legit offer. Mayweather knows when to pull **** like that to make it LOOK legit. Look at his 'retirement'...

    Why would he? Ask yourself what you would do. The dude dicked you around for all that time and left you inactive, then came back wanting to make ammends once you had another fight signed and on the table? None of you would have done anything different than what Tony did. I'd have told Mayweather to go **** himself too.

    Do I actually need to explain why that logic is bull****? please don't play dumb guru. You know as well as I do that type of logic does not apply here.


    :roll: Of course....great logic stud. On quite the roll. WHy not just post "WHatver Cotto did, Mayweather will do but better..." and save the ****in bandwidth. Becuase that seems to be the whole basis of what youa re saying.


    You seem to think comparing Cotto to Mayweather, and Mauweather being BETTER at EVERYTHING then Cotto :roll: means a win for Mayweather over Margarito. And to think l I used to think you were pretty smart. :lol: Wow...was I wrong.

    Slap yourself now dumbass. When someone punches you then holds through out the whole fight then does it especially in the last round doesn't mean he gased out.

    Mayweather by UD. And I would be willing to bet a hefty sum on that outcome, as well. Floyd is just too elusive, and no fighter will ever struggle to score points on Margarito.

    9-3 sounds about right.

    When I see a group of Mayweather haters being completely blind about the situation surrounding Mayweather then why can't the Mayweather fans do the same? :huh

    It's well known already that when Mayweather was set to fight Judah, Margarito was set to fight Gomez and cancelling a fight with Judah only to wait for Margarito to be done with his match and get ready to get back to training camp doesn't sound ridiculous?

    Then comes the fight with Baldomir right after it, is it Mayweather's fault Margarito never got the #1 spot?, I know there are thousands of situations surrounding how Margarito was being ducked by every single fighter in the division, then again it's not Mayweather's fault the #1 spot he seeked wasn't with Margarito. Then comes an offer to fight DLH, you think he would have looked better declining that fight and taking on Margarito?

    Then comes the Hatton fight after that which happened when Margarito already LOST to Paul Williams.

    I don't understand till now how Margarito was ducked before Floyd retired when the situations surrounding him weren't encouraging at all. That's exactly why I asked that very same question because as ridiculous as it sounded to you, the rubbish about Mayweather ducking Margarito sounds as ridiculous, if not more.

    You want me to dig you an article that is years old?, go do it yourself. It's not my problem you're too new and missed it.

    Here we go.

    Margarito is a volume punching fighter with minimal technical skills and an iron chin.

    In the history of this sport, what style has always fared the best against a fighter like Margarito? Some one that has to trade with him? No, the pure boxer.

    The only thing that I can say Cotto does better than Mayweather with a straight face is punch harder. Other than that there is nothing of note that Cotto does better than Mayweather and there are years of bouts of proof.

    Would Margarito give Floyd one of this toughest fights to date? Most likely.

    But he doesnt have one punch knockout power at the elite level and hes not going to catch Mayweather tiring himself out like Cotto did. And if you think that he can outbox him for 7 rounds I think youre crazy. His punches are still too looping, his ability to cut off the ring is still suspect, he needs to have his feet set to throw and he's shown in the past to have problems when people are moving their feet. These make this such a winnable fight for Floyd. I stay away from the term easy because Margarito would make him work a lot and land some punches, but he doesnt win this bout unless Floyd breaks a hand or two.

    Actually it's common knowledge an offer was made and Margo declined to stick to Arums PPV card.

    This link would be over 4 years old.
