What if Margarito and Floyd fought

Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe told ESPN.com that Mayweather passed on the fight not because he is ducking Margarito, but because he couldn't be ready to fight by Aug. 12. Mayweather injured his right hand during a dominating April 8 victory against Zab Judah.
"Floyd is not 100 percent healthy," Ellerbe said. "He has a bruised right hand. His hand is not broken. It's bruised, but it's a bad bruise. He wants to go into any fight 100 percent healthy. If Antonio Margarito happens to be the best available option when he is healthy, so be it.
"We are not turning down Margarito. I want to make that crystal clear. When and if he is the best available option for Floyd's next fight, that's the direction he will move in." With Aug. 12 no longer set aside for a Mayweather fight, Arum said he will use the date to feature one of his other stars, heavyweight titlist Hasim Rahman, in a mandatory title defense against Oleg Maskaev on HBO PPV.



Arum agreed that the split with Mayweather was not on bad terms like their brief breakup last year. In fact, Arum said, "We intend to be back together. Everything with this was honorable and good. I had offered him numbers [for a multi-fight contract extension] that were livable. His expectations are in the stratosphere. He was entitled to buy me out, and he did. We decided this was the best way to handle it. He is a free agent. We have agreed to work with each other [in the future]." The split frees Mayweather to make a potential deal with De La Hoya without Arum as part of the promotion.

Ellerbe said Mayweather opted for the buyout so he could be "more in control of when and who he fights next. It's as simple as that. There is nothing bad between Floyd and Bob."

 

go get help man you just cant stop.

 

did someone talk?

who are you?

 

you're just reinforcing what the other guy already said.

you're afraid to back up your point of view.

 

congrats for yet another racist post atsch

 

LOL, they are not getting it.

 

Don't care how Urkal made mandatory but he was.How the hell was Hatton a mandatory for Floyd?That was bull**** cuz he isn't a WW,Urkal was a WW.And Gomez was supposed to lose to Gatti and pulled out the upset and beat Tackie,some people thought he should get a title shot and Cotto gave him a shot

 

yup

 

now youre bringing animals to this atsch atsch atsch

it doesnt get any more racist than that.

 

So when Baldo does it..it legitimzes him. When Gomez does it, it means nothing....

 

Exactly

 

Gomez wasn't meant to lose to Gatti.

He was considered a live dog against him.

 

:good

 

Imagine what Cotto did in the first half of his fight with Margarito, but imagine Cotto with better footwork, defence, reflexes, ring generalship and a purer mentality to not mix it up at all.

 

Aint Margarito a bigger version of Castillo? :think
