No one knew or gave a **** who Marquez was until the first Pacquiao fight. And the little exposure he did get he would look like **** and boring and no one wanted to see him fight. Marquez was not the fighter he has been at 130+ that he was at 126.
You dont bring nothing new to the table. You're just another groupie that sees everything in Floyd's favor. I'm tired of arguing with posters of your kind. It never leads anywhere. Its just a waste of time.
Barrera moved up in weight to fight Prince though. Prince would have had to move up to fight Mayweather and would have probably been a heavy underdog.
Floyd also challenged Winky Wright. But did he do anything to make the fight happen? No he didnt. Why? Cause he really wasnt interested in fighting him. The same with Mosley at 135. If he really wanted Mosley he should've moved up to 135 while Mosley was still there not move after Mosley goes to 147. That to me says he wasnt really interested in fighting Mosley. He did challenged him at 2006 and tried to fight him but Mosley declined.
You said a comment talking **** that didn't have facts attached to it. Has nothing to do with being in Mayweather's favor.
More comments that lack the facts behind them. Mayweather didn't just say he wanted to fight Mosley in 99 he had his people contact Mosley's people about a fight. Vs Winky they were actually in deep negociation and failed in the last hr because Arum wanted Mayweather to have a higher % because he felt he was taking more risk. While Winky felt he was taking just as much risk as he had more to lose since Mayweather was smaller. Both sides made good points, there wasn't much demand for the fight so they let it go.
I can say the same about your posts. That they lack facts. Do you have any proof that there were serious negotiations going on for a Wright fight? Do you have any proof that Mayweather's people contacted Mosley's people back in 99? Other than Mayweather cause according to him all the fights that didnt happened and were supposed to happen or could happen anywhere between 130 and 154 it was never his fault that the fights didnt happened it was always the other side's fault and gullible groupies like you always take his word like the gospel truth. Or are you just making **** up and try to pass it as facts just so you can look smart on the internet.
For Winky http://www.sptimes.com/2005/07/26/Sports/Wright_vs_Mayweather_.shtml Mosley's is harder to find as the date is so far back. But I remember an article with a quote from Mosley's father stating how the fight didn't make sense at that time and they wanted big money fights with Tito and Hoya. I will keep trying to find it. Then there is the fact that Mosley has never denied that Mayweather challenged him in 1999 even though Mayweather through that in his face in the backlash after Mosley jumped in the ring. You asking for proof yet don't provide **** yourself. You just make comments and general statments as an alt troll and talk ****. All you gonna do is ignore the Winky article not conceed that you were wrong, try and spin it, and then say the same **** a week later like alt trols do.
Steve Kim | MaxBoxing.com Recommend1 Tweet0 Comments0 Email Print Promoters Gary Shaw and Bob Arum were in Beverly Hills on Thursday afternoon to officially announce the Oct. 8 rematch between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo. But as that deal was finalized, a proposed Nov. 12 bout between Winky Wright and Floyd Mayweather fell apart as the two met at the Beverly Hills Hotel. "M-O-N-E-Y," stated Shaw in spelling out the reason why this bout between two of the premier prizefighters in the world will not be taking place. "I thought we had a deal. I spoke with Don King, King was on board, Jim Wilkes was on board, Winky Wright was on board. We agreed to 154 pounds, we agreed to another morning weight because they were concerned about the weight -- Winky couldn't gain more than eight pounds above 154." With all of Winky's representatives (including King, who holds an option on Wright after his victory over Felix Trinidad in May) in agreement, Shaw thought he would be signing contracts by the end of the week. "When I was in Arum's office he talked about different splits," recalled Shaw, who said at that time the numbers he was told differed from the ones he had agreed to. "I started to yell, I said, 'It's gotta be 50-50.' He said, 'All right, all right. Why are you yelling? I'm just the messenger. Come back, we'll do the deal.' I walked downstairs here at the Beverly Hills Hotel, I said, 'We have a deal?' He looked at me and said, '55-45.' I said, 'No, 50-50. He said, 'There's no deal.' " Arum confirmed that Wright-Mayweather is dead as of now. "There were requests made by Floyd Mayweather, we laid it out and I think they were fair requests," said the veteran promoter. "Gary rejected them, so there's no fight. We have to sit with Floyd and we'll figure out [what we do next]. "Maybe [Antonio] Margarito. It's unfortunate as far as the Winky Wright fight, but it's not going to happen." While Mayweather retains his Nov. 12 date on HBO Pay-Per-View, Wright has a date set aside for him the following week on HBO. Did Mayweather and Arum come to the realization that in facing the much bigger Wright, that they were biting off more than even the "Pretty Boy" could chew? "Floyd's been talking a lot of trash, saying he's going to knock Winky out; he told Kevin Iole he wants to fight," said Shaw. "He wanted the fight on Sunday. On Monday I went to Top Rank's office personally. My feeling is that Floyd never wanted the fight. He was just talking smack." As Shaw and Arum gave their sides of the story after the Corrales-Castillo press conference, just outside the ballroom where it was held, Margarito's manager Sergio Diaz was meeting with Top Rank's VP, Todd DuBoef, about his fighter's future -- which doesn't seem to include Mayweather. "Right now we just met with Todd and we're looking at October 1st," he explained to MaxBoxing. "The date is there, the opponent we still don't know. They've been mentioning Joshua Clottey, but Showtime doesn't know if they want to accept that opponent." As for a bout with Mayweather? "Mayweather has mentioned that he'd rather jump to 154 and fight Winky Wright than fight Margarito," Diaz said. "He says it's a better loss to lose against Winky Wright than it is to Antonio." Diaz doesn't have much hope that even with the Wright fight not happening, that a bout between Margarito and Mayweather comes to fruition. "No, not at all," he admitted. "To tell you the truth, at the beginning I was, we were hopeful it would happen. But now, it's already behind me." To Germany Sam Simon, manager of WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster, informs us that the deal to send his fighter to Hamburg, Germany to take on their mandatory challenger, Luan Krasniqi, has been finalized. Brewster will defend his title on Sept. 28 Anyone with half a brain could see that Floyd didnt want the fight. Every time Wright accepted a new demand there was another following,just one obstacle after the other. Until Shaw and Wright just said enough is enough we have accepted everything this guy is demanding and hes still not happy, this kid is just playing games forget about it.
Of course he was. He knew that he had a horrific Glass Jaw and was content to fight nobodies in the UK rather than testing himself. When he did fight a better opponent in Kelley he got dropped three times and when he stepped up to real competition in Barrera he got embarrassed. British-level Chin, Heart, and guts.
You are worse than ******ed. How does a guy who's never been stopped or knocked out have a bad chin? How many times did MAB knock down Hamed?
