If Margarito wins, will it be Floyd biggest nightmare?

That leaves Floyd as the P4P #1 Fighter in the world, weighing his options.

 

You didnt, because Margarito has never been or will never be the linear WW champion.

However, you criticised the IBF rankings, while your boy made his name beating up pathetic fighters highly ranked by the WBO.

And its a moot point anyways, the WBC had Baldomir as the mandatory challenger.

 

I like Floyd and Tony but lets get one thing straight. Floyd started at 130, and is at best a natural 140 lber. Margo's been a welterweight since 1996. Floyd fighting Tony at 147 is like Tony moving up and fighting Kessler at 168. Floyd is massively outsized by AM. Margarito is chasing a midget here people, lets not forget this. Floyd survives outside his natural weight class through pure skills. That takes courage. So just because he hasn't jumped into the ring against a comparative giant doesn't mean he's a coward. If you're going to call floyd fraud then you should really call Margarito something equally childish and degrading for being so keen to fight a guy far far smaller than himself.

 

when the linbear champ will never fight you its kinda impossible to become the linear champ. atsch


Zab ducked AM after AM KO'd Kermit in the first match.

Hmmm, who deserved a fight with Zab more at that point??? AM or Baldy? Answer that.

 

in other words you have no answer. :good

 

Don't try to use logic with them.

Its a waste of your time.

They can hardly handle the fact that Margarito failed in an attempt to move up ONE weight class, let alone 5.

 

No that is an answer.

There never has been, and after the Cotto bout, never will be a reason for Floyd to fight Margarito.

He brings nothing to the table but hype.

 

Im sorry, youre right, everyone in the history of boxing has ducked Margarito because he is so godly.

Where is Ayatollah to back me up?

Oh wait, Paul Williams, nothing more than a prospect, called him out and then went on to beat him.......

Same Paul Williams who was made to look like an amateur in his next bout.....

Nope, I like your idea better, Margarito is god.

 

its a solid point

Fraud pissed away AM's 8 mil and free agency offer before the Baldy-Gatti fight even took place. It was certainly a possibility at that point that Gatti outboxes Baldy and theres no interest in a Fraud-Gatti rematch. So where does that leav Fraud at that point? DLH was outta the picture at this point as well. . .:deal

you simply have no answer for it.

 

No one said everyone ducked him. . . but Zab did and Fraud did.

PW had the courage to take a beating in order to get the decision, props to him. Fraud has no such courage.

 

No you just dont like the answer.

Margarito brought nothing to the table but hype.

Hell his bout with Cintron was billed as two of the biggest prospects in the WW division, not stars. Not to mention, it was Cintron who was supposed to be the next big thing, not Margarito, so in fact, he stole the hype behind Cintron who had beaten NO ONE at that point.

So again, that leave Floyd as a well proven commodity, 3 weight champion, consensus top 3 P4P fighter in the world while Margarito was still trying to prove he was worthy of even holding a championship belt. The same belt he won due to a vacancy, and the same belt he lost to an unproven prospect who in turn went on to lose the belt in his first subsequent bout.

 

Yea he's real hard to hit. That's why old man Baldomir was able to tap his chin right? That's why he's been hit by everyone he's stepped in the ring with since Mitchell, right?

The one thing all his recent opponents have in common is they are one and done fighters. They throw once and wait, throw once and wait. DLH throws meaningless, powerless flurries at the end of rounds just to impress judges. That's the only reason that fight was close. Tony works the full 3 minutes of every round and he will land his leather. Doesn't matter where he will land it.

 

he was a highly ranked WW for years and brought 8 mill and free agency, the notion that AM was "not worthy" is just stupid - as if Bruseles and Sharmba were mnore worthy than AMatsch . . . Fraud balked and gambled that Baldy would beat Gatti when he could have had a sure thing with the AM's offer.

 

You're off base here. Mayweather was tentively scheduled to face Hoya that September when that 8mill offer was made. Clearly, he's not going to jump on that fight with Margo for July when he has a potential $20+ mill fight setup for September. It wasn't until that June or July that Hoya said he wasn't going to fight again until the following May.

After this, Floyd negotiated with Golden Boy for a fight with Mosley for November. Mosley asked for the lion's share of the purse and the fight fell apart. Floyd then set his sights on Spinks for his IBF JMW title. Most fans did not repsond well to this and said he needed to take on the real WW champ. So at this point his market value had been driven up(thanks to Arum) and he had two choices. He could either fight Margo for an alleged $8 mill payday and for his WBO belt, or he could face Baldo for $8mill + as well as his WBC, and ring magazine belt.

 

Exactly when he went up to 154 he got beat and ran back down to 147 to.:yep He can't deal with boxers bigger than himself because he lacks the skills to do so.
