    Yes he did at the time. Like when he demolished Hatton. He loaded up and knocked him out. It was only later in his career that he avoided contact and loading up.

    Y'all musta forgot.

    So why didn't he fight him Rummy? You cannot say Baldomir was a better fight
    The ringside guests were walking out in the 9th round Floyd wanted no part of Tony

    Actually no, he didn't fight that way with Hatton either. WTF man?!? Did you watch him fight?

    Floyd & Oscar thought cptto would beat Margarito When he didn't & got embarrassed Neither Floyd nor Oscar wanted to fight Margy & that's where the "loaded gloves" conspiracy came from I'm convinced id it

    Remember when Oscar said, "Maybe I'll fight Paul Williams, since he beat Margarito." When Paul obliged, ODLH once again....STFU.

    They were all waiting on a Cotto win to challenge the winner. ****** wrench...

    The loaded gloves conspiracy, however, had nothing to do with the golden or pretty boy...that's on Margarito's team.

    In what way was it on Margarito's team ?? Nazim Richardson's blatant lie
    " He saw PLASTER BLOCKS fall from Margy's wraps" What happened to them ?? Why wasn't he called on that lie ??? No PROOF has ever been provided
    that Tony ever cheated there has only ever been SUSPICION

    Look, there wasn't any hard plaster, but it wasn't a pad they could use. Not saying they cheated, but that pad was not acceptable.

    Floyd would have made Margo look stupid in there.

    That being said... I wish they would have fought.

    Had Marg not lost to Williams or Mosley, they probably would have.

    Objectively, I dont see how theres much basis for the theory that May ducked Margarito.

    There was no real window for it, barring some time in 2007 prior to Margo losing to Williams.

    Lots of fights don't happen for lots of different reasons, C.J. But there really wasn't much of a window for that fight to happen. And Margarito didn't help his own cause when he was soundly defeated by Paul Williams.

    You remember when you said you were right there with Tony when that transpired but admitted you lied? Lol
