Floyd was actually offered career high paydays (At the time) to face Margarito. Instead of facing the longest title holder at WW at the time, Floyd went to face Baldomir for a dollar more. The WORST WW champion ever in the history of the WW division...that's who Floyd decided on.
Cotto has NEVER beaten Margarito.. They made sure his eye was permanently damaged & only then wanted a rematch. Remember them making him fly across country, right in the middle of training,to NY so the doc could examine his eye LOL. Plus Tony was blind in that eye from round 2 & the doc knew it but did he quit??????? No!! Old Kneequel is the quitter. It was'nt till Tony started to come on & was beating his chest at Cotto & Kneequel was fading fast that he stopped the fight. To save Cotto NOT Tony he saw Kneequel was set to quit AGAIN!!!! Mosely , a PROVEN juicer was juiced to the gills for that fight & you know it . Nothing was ever proven against Tony.!!! Remember Robert Garcia questioned Pac's wraps & asked for him to be re wrapped ?? But Freddie refused & the commission sided will him. Was that where Pac's sudden punching power came from ? We'll never know but I would never accuse him without proof. Maybe if Javier Capetillo had refused instead of readily agreeing Tony would have gone on & Mayweather would have had to fight him & Tony would have bee CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes because he was deliberately railroaded & his licence to box taken purely because your heroes Floyd & Oscar were both afraid to fight him. If Floyd is inducted after the IV gate debacle then the HOF means nothing. BUT if they do meet it wont be Tony ****ting himself again like last time they met will it. Bet Floyd has his depends on regularly now in case he bumps into Tony again lol
So he fought err stunk out the arena against Baldy for $1 more If he'd had the balls to fight Margarito he'd have had a much bigger purse. BUT Ole Fluffy knew to fight Margarito meant the end he'd have got his ass whupped!!!!!
You must really hate Mayweather to suggest he doesn't deserve to be a HOF. The man is among the most skilled boxers that ever laced a pair of boxing gloves on.
I agree Mayweather had incredible God Given boxing talent & could have succeeded on his own & he had received a set of cojones to match that talent. Sadly he didnt & sold his soul to the devil on the assurance he would never lose a decision in Vegas again. This was proven time & time again when his cheating butt was covered. Cheats do not belong in the HOF it makes a mockery of it
Irrelevant Baldo was the lineal ring champ of the division margo was a WBO title holder who had beaten no one of note. Pbf was offered a career high payday plus ppv revenue to fight baldo. No one in their right mind would turn that fight down and you know this.
He would stink out the arena against margo because the fight wouldn't be close it would be a one-sided clinic. What's the difference?
A clinic isn't a hard fight for pbf. You need skills to give pbf a hard fight margo doesnt possess that.
I do not hate him but I certainlt do not resp So explain why Floyd was so terrified of Tony when they met thats all you have to do. He must have thought Tony was going to hurt him ROFLMAO
