    Exactly. Two rival networks like HBO and Showtime were not about to cross-promote PBF-Zoo they've only done it twice Tyson and Chavez-Pea. Neither PBF or Zoo had a big enough name at the time to justify such an event.

    Top 30 AtG? Oh god, there's hate and then there's blind devotion. I have already typed in my first post in this thread that Floyd is a HoF for his lighter weight achievment, but, he ducked Margaritto - That is plain and simple - Hindsight is 20/20, but he ducked Margaritto - It's fact.

    Anything you guys type about how the fight MIGHT turn out is always going to look that bit tainted because he had an opportunity to do it and avoided it.

    As a fan of boxing - I would like to see him apply his obvious skill and cement his legacy with some tougher fights, not just the gimme's he's taken post 135.

    That's not hate - That's wanting to see the best fight the best.

    You guys take ANY criticism like people are saying "Floyd can't box or fight".

    Tszyu, Zoo, Zu - No matter how you type it - It's not Corley, Brusseles or Gatti at 140.

    Floyd has fought ONE natural 147+lbs fighter in Bladomir. I would like to see him ply his trade against a Margarito or a Williams.

    That's not hate, that's being a boxing fan - Not a Mayweather cheerleader - A fan of the sport.

    Margarito comes into fights weighing 160+. He's a middleweight. Stop making excuses because your boy is one dimensional and got his ass kicked by a one handed Clottey.

    PBF is an ATG weather the haters like or not, wins over Chico, Castillo, Hatton, and ODLH are enough to cement his greatness, so to the OP come with something better next time.

    "Natural" this and that is **** only fanboys try to talk about, as if it has any real meaning. Margarito, and until he proves differently, Williams, make 147 with no problems. They are welterweights. I am just thankful you, 90% of the Mayweather idiots, and the internet weren't around when Hearns fought....otherwise you'd probably be shitting on him too fore picking on small WW's. You'd probably think Alexis Arguello was a cheater as well, since he was taller and stronger then most of his opponents. You NEVER made a deal about weight until Floyd stepped up to 147. That's why no one but other mayweather fanboys take you serious. You need to rethink a whole shitload about this sport. It's so obvious you only got into boxing from Mauyweather. Hell, he's retired and you STILL can only come here to talk about him.

    Hearns continued his career past 147 all the way up to Cruiser. He spent 5 years of his career at welter. Spent the next 20 at superwelter and above.

    Hearns had boxing ability. He was not one dimensional like Margarito. He didnt need to physically overpower his opponents to win. He had the skills to be successful above 147.

    Please. Margarito won because he threw a **** load of punches. Clottey landed the cleaner harder shots. I had it a draw. Hell, Margarito and his non-existent defense was walking into one handed counter uppercuts all night. It was hilarious.

    If he hadnt of hurt his hand it would have been curtains for your boy.

    All you ever do is bash PBF fans. You only come here to do that.

    Margo isn't a natural 147 pound fighter period. Anytime you come in at 160+ for a fight at 147 pounds you're too big for that class an should be fighting at a higher weight. Can Margo make 147 sure but he's taking advantage of the rules by doing so and he knows what awaits him at 154 since he lost and ran his ass back down.

    BTW don't ever compare a ATG like Hearns to a guy like Margo. Hearns was a big WW like Margo but unlike Margo he went up in weight several weights in fact and won titles. Margo can't even get past Santos at 154...big difference there between a skilled guy like Hearns using skills and power and a limited guy like Margo using only his size and strenght and chin to his advantage to fight smller men and can't do the same against bigger men like Hearns was able to do.

    So when the general consensus on your "natural" weight is where you spend the majority of your career - And both have the vast majority of their fights at 147 what is it?

    Again, totally missing the point of the post and using an excuse as to why - I guess you could interpret your post as "Floyd wont fight Williams/Margo because they're too big"?

    And sorry but did Floyd hold a 154 lbs Belt that bleonged to DLH?

    So what is it? Too big or too tough a challenege?

    AGAIN - The point is - I'd like to find out by Floyd actually fighting them.
