    If Gatti beat him he would have been #1 like Baldomir was and all of the rest officially recognized as #1 and rematch with Mayweather could have been possible if Mayweather wanted the #1 spot he was criticised for not going for as a Jr. Welter. When there is a fighter considered "THE MAN" and "THE CHAMP" in a division you have to go for him if you want to prove to be the best in the division, defending the title and holding on to that position comes after that.

    No he couldn't have fought him after that fight, here's where you get screwed yet again pal. Mayweather had a FAR BIGGER offer in fighting DLH, you think he would pass on DLH and fight Margarito?, the hate on Mayweather would be even BIGGER combined by both hardcore and casual fans, that's a fight Mayweather constantly said he wanted and the reason he was moving up ANYWAY as he mentioned it over and over as he was rising.

    A good example is this, you think Margarito will fight Paul Williams if an offer from DLH was put on the table?, good luck answering that.

    It was the easier fight but it's not his problem that the easier fighter was THE CHAMP of the division.

    To have Arturo Gatti as the no 1 WW in the division would be a very lucky turn of events(for him) but under no circumstances he would rematch Floyd at 147.Gatti options(if he would have beaten Baldo) were:Mosley,Hatton,Cotto,him wanting Cotto.Maybe if Gatti won then he would have lost to Cotto and Floyd would have fought Cotto,now that's a dream situation.But again Baldomir was no 1 just by a lucky shot

    Sadly the actual facts wipe the floor with your opinion, accept it, denying it just proves you're delusional and remain loyal to your hate when you don't even know enough about a fighter you claim you support as the discussion proves.

    It wasn't a lucky shot in reality, he was Judah's mandatory for the WBC or he was going to be stripped, so they took him as a tune-up and a mandatory at the same time who earned that position by winning, pretty much like Marg earned his position by beating Cotto. No such thing as "lucky" when you earn a position and make the most out of it, that's disrespectful to deny that.

    Like I said he should have fought Margarito instead of Judah since he was coming off a loss. He fought Judah and got hit in the dick. He should have fought Margarito since he doesn't do that. lol

    I'm not saying he didn't deserve the title shot but winning it against an unfocused Zab just doesn't make you champ.Floyd should have immediately canceled the Zab fight after Judah vs Baldomir.Baldo wasn't champ even a full year,it shows he wasn't really fit to be a champ

    Idiot, what's hard to understand here?
    Margarito was HOOKED to fight Maneul Gomez on a PPV card ALREADY SIGNED, Mayweather offered BOTH Margarito and Baldomir fights but was TURNED DOWN because Baldomir wanted one more fight to be ready and Margarito was ALREADY BOOKED.

    Are you typing rubbish coming out of your ass to annoy me or what is difficult to understand here?, as a clear noob you should know about these situations without the need of me to tell you as it's more and more obvious you don't know squat about Margarito as well.

    There was no proof at all back then that he was the easier fight except for media hype, only recently was this proven as he beat Cotto.
