    We are talking JJ from Good Times skinny. If you are afraid to fight JJ for 4 mill...then you are whack.

    Paul Williams is the DLH of 2008. No shame. Fight guys as tiny as Sharmba Mitchell to make yourself look good.

    **** at least Nicolai Valuev has no choice. :lol:

    :rofl :rofl :rofl My point was Margarito weighed 160 when he fights but he shouldnt be a middleweight since the top level fighters their dont weigh that. Also yeah, no **** he weighed just 174 because he is out of his weight class. Did you want him to weigh 184 or some ****? :rofl :rofl :rofl

    Pavlik basically came in at his fighting weight. If it were a 160lb fight he'd still be 170+ by fight time.

    Paul "The Middleweight" Williams will be catching up to him real soon. Once he hits those late 20s/early 30s he's gonna have to wear a girdle to weigh ins. That is if he tries to fight guys as little as Sharmba Mitchell again.

    I really would of preferred he take the Williams rematch. Mosley hasn't earned this shot. And when he loses the Margo fans are going to go crazy.

    You try again , for one Floyd fighting Margarito was part of a 3 fight deal that margarito just so happen to be part of , he was not even the most important fighter on the contract .. cotto and hatton where .. The three fight contract was offered an option for Floyd to take instead of look for Oscar.. When Floyd refused to except the contract for 7 mill to fight Hatton and Cotto he opted not to re sigh Arum..

    offering Floyd 7 mill for Cotto and Hatton was disrespectful to Floyd when he could have gotten alot more for each fight , floyd wanted 12 bob wanted 7 , Bob being a promoter and opportunist that he is , saw a opertunity to spin a story that would pump margartio's name and sling mud on floyd..

    bottom line Floyd made 3 x as much refusing Arums contract then he would have excepting it. and thats a fact of business !

    Floyd made 20 mill for Oscar , 20+ mill for hatton and he would have made 20+ for cotto .. so you do the math which makes more since

    Arum toney , cotto , hatton = 22 mill
    Oscar , hatton alone = 40+ mill and that not including Cotto ..

    so you try again .. don't claim Margarito is doing business and it all good but for floyd it was different .. when Margarito would love to be in floyd shoes.

    You are talkin numbers and I'm talkin respect. This is where you fall off the wagon everytime.

    I told you earlier. This is about respect. It isn't like Margarito walked away from a Mosley fight being offered an 8 to 1 purse. He walked away because the dude wanted even money when he didn't deserve even money. Margarito is the man. He calls the shots. Mosley and GBP don't. To think otherwise is disrespectful and absurd.

    You try and spin this **** about being money and I'm gonna call you on it. Thats the way its gonna be.

    Dude palease is that not what Margarito proved that he was about the Numbers..

    Respect had nothing to do with it , it was about the bottom line ..
    Ignore it if you want but its the truth.
    Margarito certainly walk away form Pauls offer of 4 million .. so lets stop talking about walking away OK.
