I know you dont but some other people do. Did you think I was being serious when I said I am gonna buy the Mayweather vs. Margarito fight because of the whole black vs. Mexican thing? If you did, wow you are stupid. :nut
WHO WAS BETTER THAN OSCAR DE LA HOYA AT 154 WHEN FLOYD FOUGHT HIM? AT 147 WHEN FLOYD FOUGHT BALDOMIR BALDOMIR WAS THE LINEAL WW AND RECOGNIZED WW CHAMP...FLOYD SHUT HIM OUT IN A BORING FIGHT FOR MOST FIGHT FANS--AT 140 FLOYD COULDNT GET THE FIGHTS HE WANTED...HATTON SAID HE NEEDED MORE TIME BEFORE HE FOUGHT FLOYD AND KOSTYA WAS INJURED...IF I REMEMBER RIGHT ARUM DIDNT WANNA MATCH COTTO WITH FLOYD YET AND DO YOU REMEMBER HOW WEIGHT DRAINED COTTO WAS AT 140...FLOYD WOULD HAVE WORE HIM OUT..AT 147 THERE IS SOMETHING LEFT TO PROVE I AGREE...BUT IF YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED THE BEST FIGHTER OF THE ERA BY BERNARD HOPKINS, SHANE MOSLEY, AND OSCAR DE LA HOYA (ALL 3 ARE TOP TEN IN OUR ERA)(SEE THE POST FIGHT CONFERENCE AFTER THE PBF-HATTON FIGHT) THAN WHAT LEFT IS THERE. AND I THINK FLOYD CAN BE BEAT...ITTA BE A GOOD FIGHT BUT MOSLEY MATCHES UP NICE WITH FLOYD
LoL. I know you was just playing. Its all cool. But I know you gonna buy that Mayweather drink he's coming out with.
In a deep welterweight division he was able to get a Baldomir win and a Judah win. He should of stayed their and fought the top dogs like you said. Mayweather should have fought Cotto then Williams right after. Mosley had a great chance because of his speed and craft. I would think Margarito would have eventually landed a shot with Cintron again and ko'd him again. Then Mayweather should of fought him. If he did that I would be calling him an all time great but he bounced when things got interesting. He grabbed the easy money and left. Thats why it is hard to respect a guy like that.
BUT WE WENT OVER THIS BEFORE..THINGS WERE INTERESTING IN 2006 AND FLOYD STUCK AROUND....IN 2007 FLOYD STUCK AROUND...WHY FIGHT MARGARITO FOR THE WBO TITLE WHEN YOU CAN FIGHT BALDOMIR FOR THE LINEAL TITLE...AND WE KNOW FLOYD WAS TRUE TO THE WBC BELT AND BALDOMIR HELD THAT BELT... AND IF FLOYD FOUGHT AN OVER THE HILL OSCAR IN 2007 THAN WHY IS IT OK FOR MARGARITO TO FIGHT AN OVER THE HILL OSCAR IN 2008? OSCAR WAS THE BEST 154LB FIGHTER IN 2007
8-4 Williams, maybe 7-5 if you were biased. I watched it three times and had a relative that went to it and saw it from the 5th row. It was not a case of Margarito being comprehensively "beaten" and Williams giving him all sorts of problems. Margarito started slow and I felt gave away the first 4 rounds of the fight. The middle rounds were even and I felt he won 3 of the last 4. But those first four cost him. Williams showed a lot of heart though. During 9-12 Margarito was winning the fight and Williams was taking some vicious shots, but he showed he had a great chin and is very durable.
Yeah, why fight for the WBO when you can fight for the official title? How do you think is was able to be ranked number 1 by ring magazine. You gotta understand that boxing is also a business, it aint only about fighting. Thats why Mayweather was so successful, cause boxing was a business and a sport to him. And he beat the number 1 guy at 154, who was better than all the guys at 147. So how can u not tell me thats impressive?
Fighting Oscar is for money purposes. You have to admit an Margarito, Cotto, and Williams on his resume would of look way better than Baldomir and Judah. Margarito should fight De la hoya for the money and thats it. Like I said before I dont care if people see that as a big win.
NOT JUST MONEY...IF U REMMEBER RIGHT THIS WAS THE FIGHT ALL THE FANS WANTED--ALL THE FANS TOO--EVERYONE WANTED TO SEE OSCAR FIGHT FLOYD--NUMBERS IN 2.4 PPV BUYS MILLION SPEAK FOR ITSELF...THERE WERE PEOPLE UP ON HERE SAYING OSCAR WOULD KO HIM AND OSCAR IS TO BIG AND OSCAR CAN BOX AND THIS AND THAT..THAN FLOYD WON AND EVERYONE SAID FLOYD GOT A GIFT AND FLOYD DIDNT WIN CONVINCINGLY...BUT IN THE END HE STILL WON...FLOYD COULD HAVE STAYED AT 140LBS AND CLEARED THE DIVISION OUT EASY
Alot of ppl were even saying "damn, that PBF is something special" because he beat Oscar. But the haters had to find a way to discredit him so they started talking about Cotto.
