    Yeah, you can find his bull**** quite easily. His excuse for not fighting Mosley a few weeks ago, because he had losses - Mayweater has fought two undefeated guys in his career. Then there's Baldomir, who had 9 losses...

    I do believe he is unintelligent. Great fighter, but very limited mentally. It wouldn't suprise me if he had a sub-100 IQ, in fact, I'm sure he does. Very basic English skills, no rhetoric, repetitive. Creative though.

    No he wasn't you ****ing idiot. :patsch He hadn't fought Williams by then and he was not just off the back of a loss. He was on the back of four consecutive victories and was well feared in the division. And I don't know why you are bringing up De La Hoya. It's completely irrelevant.

    Arum offered PBF 8 million to fight Margarito and PBF chose Baldomir because he was posed less of a risk and would have made more money. You seem to be the only one fooled here. Now run along and educate yourself.

    That he has been there and realized what it was all about.

    Like anything you strive to achieve, after attaining it you are better able to evaluate the sacrifices versus the reward.

    Like it usually takes a person who as F-ed their life up partying and being a knucklehead to tell you... "Stay in school."

    You are a fool. He fought Baldomir because he was the champ AND the money was the same.

    Fight a nobody for 8 million or fight the WW champion for 8 million AND the PPV rights?

    It is a simple choice unless you are a moron. What do you chose?

    Exactly. I figure it is splitting hairs, but he knew he would get similar guaranteed money, the belt so bigger fights down the road, AND a larger share of the PPV pie.

    I would have liked to see the Margarito fight too, but come on guys. To act like it was the "logical" fight is silly. If that is the case then Pac needs to take on Paul Williams not the winner of Mayweather/Mosley.

    No I didn't miss the point you idiot. Margarito made no sense in ANY contex:

    Financial
    Risk/Reward
    Legacy

    He made NO SENSE in ANY context! So your dumb ass trying to make the case that he chose cash over a challenge. No. He chose a fight that made sense.

    Margarito was one of the most feared in the division. Are you really trying to say that Baldomir would look better than Margarito on his resume? If so, I can't really argue with you any further as you are a lost cause.

    How is De La Hoya irrelevant you ****ing moron. ESPN had an article with Arum clearly stating that Arum wouldnt be able to get Floyd a fight with De La Hoya for 20 mil, this was Arums and Floyds main point of contention. Arum wanted rights to Floyd for a couple of fights, all at well below what Floyd eventually got.

    Hell Floyd even wanted to fight Margarito when Judah lost, Margarito claimed injury then fought Gomez.


    I dont give a **** what Margacheatos winstreak was ***. He lost to a C level fighter in Santos and a green Paul Williams. You think MAyweather was afraid of that bum? Please. Maybe you fell for the hype, I didnt.

    Margacheato the most feared in the division. Yeah so feared a green Paul Williams and a 40 year old Mosley took his ass out. And oh yeah, Daniel Santos who lost to yuri foreman. :rofl
