Who has he ducked? Pacquiao? Who negotiates with countdown clocks on their official website? All the negotiations where a sham, only there to drum up interest in other fights. Tell me one other fight where they have done something similar? There was one real set of negotiations that took place, and that was the first time. And who walked away? Pacquiao because he was on steroids. After that they realised all they needed to do was mention negotiations and there woud be a media frenzy. Maybe the 40 million was lowball, but in retrospect Pac would be lucky to get half of that now. Mosley? The man who wouldnt negotiate because he had a toothache? Who was going on a year long vacation? He wanted nothing to do with Mayweather, till he realised he was at a good age to cash out. Cotto? Arum admitted to keeping Cotto away from Floyd because he was too "green". As soon as Cotto leaves Arum, the fight is miraculously made. What a surprise. Margarito is the only one you have a case for. But even with him, Floyd turned him down for a much bigger fight with De La Hoya. And even at that point in his career, ODLH was better fighter than Cheato ever was. (Plus leaving Arum at that time was probably his best ever career decision)
U obviously dont know the difference between Puerto Rican and Mexican. Thats no surprise that ur geography is garbage Im of mexican descent, boy.
This is wrong. Margarito would have destroyed any 2003+ version of De La Hoya and we all know it. Post 2003 Oscar was a dead man. Key Points to Margarito vs 2003+ Oscar. 1- Jab Oscar's jab was deteritating at a very rapid rate. He used to have a great jab and showed it in fights against Whitaker, Quartey,Vargas.. but ever since the Hopkins fight his jab was going down hill. You need a great jab to counter Prime Margarito. Look at the difference in Oscar's jab output This content is protected Vargas was getting out landed on a regular basis due to the setting up of the right hand jab combo.. , he was in full retreat mode and was no longer capable of fighting off the back foot due to the jab. Now look at Oscar vs Pacquaio This content is protected The Shot to **** version of Oscar was no longer able to react properly in accordance with the jab.. although the Oscar who fought Floyd was better.. it was not by much. Margarito against a fighter without a great jab would have walked him down and knocked him out. 2- Punch OutPut Margarito throw upwards of 200+ punches a round at times and against a old man like Oscar (which in boxing terms he was after 2003) it's a death styles matchup. If you look at the Williams-Margarito fight This content is protected it show you that any fighter with a low punch output would have suffered greatly. Oscar was unable to react properly to volume punching during that particular stage of his career and was in big trouble against any volume puncher. Williams would have knocked Oscar out as well after 2003. 3-Ring Generalship Oscar had horrendous ring generalship in the Floyd fight. He never pushed the action even when Floyd was on the back foot.. never once went for it even though he could have. Margarito had that great killer instinct to go for it all out if his opponents get hurt. This content is protected Iconic image of Magarito never once letting off the pressure once Cotto was on the back foot. Never once. Cotto was pushed to the brink due to Margarito's superior ring IQ and just overall skills.. Oscar would have suffered greatly. 4-Pressure Pressure Pressure Margarito during his prime gave out Duran like Pressure and was in every way just as brutal if not more so than the legendary Hands of Stone. He would have walked down Oscar regardless of the cost.. not to mention at that time Oscar would no longer have the power to take Antonio off his game. It's very difficult to fight against big pressure fighters.. if you are throwing punches form UP HIGH AS OPPOSE TO DOWN LOW. Oscar would have had a very hard time countering this. 5- Body Work Margarito during his prime had one of the greatest body work ethics in the modern era. When he hit you.. YOU feel it. He got great 1-2-3 combos to the left rib cage and right kidney areas. Oscar has shown repeatedly throughout his career he is sussbetible to the body. This content is protected Margarito is a much harder puncher than Hopkins, is a much more ferocious fighter and puts out a lot more pressure than Hopkins. There is just no way Oscar survives the Margarito body work that will surely come in a fight between the two.. Margarito tends to wear you down via the body and take you out. Margarito via tko7-9 against the Oscar that fought Floyd in a one sided beating. Now PRIME FOR PRIME. I have Oscar winning a narrow SD.. but any version after 2003 gets stopped by Margarito.
