If Margarito wins, will it be Floyd biggest nightmare?

when DLH and Shane were outta the picture the AM 8 mill offer was on the table. . . Fraud pissed away that offer well before Baldy got in the ring with Gatti. If Gatti outboxes Baldy, there is no Baldy fight and no interest in a Gatti rematch. Fraud was dead set on anything BUT Margarito - hence him going after Spinks . . .BTW, the only reason that didnt happen was becuase Spinks' mando was threating a lawsuit. :deal

 

AM was ramping up and on close to stopping Santos when the fight was stopped and Santos got the hometown decision.

 

They throw once and wait you say? What the hell is Margo going to do since he has to have his feet set in order to get off. He will be out of his game against PBF who will move and not allow him to set his feet by standing in front of him. How can't you not see this? Margo will not throw 100 punches a round against PBF because he will have a moving defensive wizard infront of him and not someone like Cintron that is there to be hit.:deal His workrate will be irrelevent in this fight because his connect % will be around 20% or less.:deal

 

all good and well except for the fact that Fraud obviously doesnt have the confidence in himself that you have for him or else he wouldnt be in duckig mode for years now.

 

C'mon Ramshall, you gotta read the enitre post. Otherwise, we just end up repeating ourselves. I clearly stated that the choice, in the end, came down to Baldo or Margo. He had the potential to make more money in the Baldo fight given that he was getting ppv %'s, it was also for a more prestigious belt. I know you love Margo, and I'm willing to conceed that he deserved a shot more so than Baldo. However, no one is going to give up the chance to fight for the WBC and ring belt in order to fight for the WBO belt, for less money, in an event promoted by their ex promoter who they left on less than amicable terms. That just doesn't make sense.

 

Nopes . . . . Floyd is a shameless MOFO. :yep

He lives in his own fantasy world.

 

sorry, but your just wrong on this point. By the time the Baldy-Gatti fight happened Fraud had already balked at and pissed away AM's 8 mill offer.

He basically gambled that Baldy would win, it was close to a pick em fight so he pissed away a sure 8 mil offer for a 50/50 chance at a Baldy fight.

I know he hates Arum, but what better way to teach Arum a lesson than to take his 8 mil, beat up his "hype job" and take that free agency and get the DLH purse all to himself???

As it happened he had to pay Goosen a cut of the DLH purse, AM's offer was a one fight deal - not even Fraud argued that is wasnt.

 

Anyone with sense can see this is the logical decision but a irrational hater won't.

 

you compare him one day then say he's not worthy in a different thread in boxing the winner is the man who fights the best that day floyd might meet his match he might run thru both but don't say he'll lose cuz others fought stupid fights margo poses a bigger threat than cotto imop that's why floyd's taking time off to work cuz he will fight the winner after he knocks dlh out then he'll be the new golden boy getting those paydays regardless

 

Workrate means more than you think it does. A guy is less predictable when he throws lots of punches. It takes a boxer out of his element IF he cannot discourage his opponent from throwing so many punches. You don't discourage him by running away. You do it by hurting him.

Look I told all of you before the DLH fight even happened that DLH doesn't like being punched in the face. And it's simply true. He is not like Margarito in that sense. Mayweather can land 1, 2, 3, 4 clean shots in a row and Margarito will still be throwing.

You can be sure if Margarito had Mayweather up against the ropes like DLH did he wouldn't have been throwing those pitty pat flurries. He'd have been throwing hard.

And better yet, it'd be CONSISTENT output. Enough to wear down a strong guy like Clottey, or a big guy like Williams. How lil Floyd is gonna handle that is really a guessing game. He won't be on his bike for 12 rounds. He's gonna have to stop at some point to throw punches. If he elects not to sit on his punches, and decides to throw one at a time and move, all he is going to do is fuel Margarito to pressure him harder.

 

Instead of criticising Floyd(the new Welterweight) haven't you asked yourself why Floyd in just 3 fights is the undisputed Welterweight champion and Margarito who has been there his entire career -2 fights isn't?, isn't it enough humiliating?, now you'll say the entire division ducked him?!, all the champions there? :hi:

 

because if floyd beats margarito ass he becomes baldy and floyd gets no credit

 

Bull**** argument. Judah couldn't avoid fighting Baldomir. Baldomir was no different than Shotgun Gomez in that he was a longshot and had a winning streak going. Judah dropped the ball and Margarito dropped Gomez. The REAL fight should have been Judah-Margarito but we all know what happened there. Judah struggled to beat Rafael Pineda, so I'm sure he didn't think too highly of his chances against Margarito.

Floyd did what he always does. He cherry picked a fight that offered him the most reward for the least risk. The only people who consider him the top welterweight in the world are those who defend these kind of shameless actions.

 

Believe it or not I would rather see Floyd Gatti 2(if he won the fight with Baldomir) because I want to see my favorite fighter grab the undisputed title. What has Margarito done to attract fighters to him?, did he even TRY and win the undisputed title?, he has been a welterweight his entire career, why does everyone that jump in the division get the title and him getting nothing?!(Shane, Mosley and the list is endless), the real question is was the entire division scared of him or he was the one who didn't bother to get what should FORCE anyone jumping to fight him?, what sounds more logical to you?

 

mayweather ducked every welterweight in the division if he ducked margarito or cotto
