PBF fought Baldo because he was the lineal champ at 147 dumbass and only a fool wouldn't fight the lineal champ of a division especially when getting a career high payday to do it The Zab fight was already signed before Zab lost to Baldo troll. It was also a fight people wanted to see because they wanted to see PBF in with a guy with faster hands than him. Zab also was a bad match up for PBF due to styles Margo Wrong again heartbroken fanboy. PBF never ducked Margo that's a myth. http://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382 Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million. Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in PBF went into retirement because he didn't want to take less money in the rematch with Oscar and he wanted to take some time off. Him being scared of a plodder like Margo who he agreed to fight years ago when he was with Arum is pure speculation and wishful thinking. The only guy I'd give you is Williams but then again I already lined up earlier why that fight couldn't happen and Williams was ducked by many. I will never forget when PBF put that demolition job on Gatti Cotto sat ring side at that fight and he looked like a deer in the headlights at what he saw that night. When PBF was at 140 and Cotto was there Arum wouldn't put Cotto within 3 time zones of PBF and flat out turned the fight down. When Cotto moved up PBF agreed to fight him but in the article I posted Arum once again had no interest. Once again like I said earlier dummy as soon as Cotto leaves Arum the fight gets made but to a hater the reason why the fight didn't happen is because PBF was scared of Cotto. Refuted
That link confirms it was a duck. Mayweather didn't even have a broken hand but a 'bruised hand' - what an easy, known excuse for duck artists. He left when there were killers left, right and centre. He didn't need to take a fight with Oscar at all, no one retires for 2 years like that in an era of stylistic threats. Demarcus Corley...nuff said. I will never forget when PBF put that demolition job on a SHOT TO PIECES Gatti. I will never forget Mayweather looking over his shoulder scared and unable to focus when Margarito was around. The promoter excuse is lame and overstated. The fight would've happened but Mayweather was too scared. Refuted - and you didn't address anything from the earlier refutation. Strawmen.
The link confirms that Arum was full of **** and undervalued PBF as a fighter when he was in his stable. He didn't even want to try and make the Oscar fight dummy. PBF was right and Arum was wrong. PBF went on to make $25 million for Oscar without Arum and and more money for every fight after. He agreed to fight those dudes for pennies compared to what he eventually got and Arum is still kicking himself today for not recognizing that PBF was the best fighter of this era and let him get away because of greed. Everyone with an ounce of common sense eventually leaves Arum. Oscar PBF Cotto everyone, but that dummy Pac who's still with him and got bled dry. That's why he's fighting a no hoper in Australia now instead of enjoying retirement with millions in the bank like PBF is. He fought Zab dummy who was a true stylistic threat. Margo isn't a stylistic threat tell me how a guy who's a slow and easy to hit with no jab beats PBF? Cotto? Hatton? Pac? Please!!! Like I said the only case you have is Williams but none of the other big players fought him either but I don't see you giving them **** for it. Refuted.
If Pacquiao's been as overrated as some of Mayweather's biggest fans say he is, then how the hell can Mayweather's tame little win against him mean much at all ?? I was suprised the fight even remained such an interest after the fact of Pacquiao being KTFO by Marquez a couple of years earlier. And then Floyd didn't even come close to knocking him out ! Perhaps both these guys were **** .... ??!!
Mayweather didn't know at the time he'd make paychecks that big, obviously he'd make a big paycheck with DLH, it doesn't mean he should've avoid taking a fight with others either. He got a lot of money before, too - but you need to fight the money fighters to get the big bucks. Margo was a stylistic threat - no respect for Mayweather's feather fist, aggressive fighter who tries to trade and has a high output, taller, longer fighter. That link confirms Mayweather would've taken the $8m either way for Margs. The other fights are a different issue. They chose not to fight Margs because Floyd was APPARENTLY (no doctor confirmation) not 100% because of a bruised pinky - even then this is a KNOWN excuse that's laughed at for ducking. No one is 100% going into a fight. Pac went into the MayPac15 fight with a 'significant tear' in his rotator cuff whereby the official medical opinion was that he required and had surgery after the fight. Margarito was a big player who Mayweather ducked and Margo had the balls and fought Williams. Refuted - stop copying me like a kid jacking my style because you have no punch to your arguments you loser old man.
Pacquiao winning the lineal championships at flyweight and welterweight is an incredible historic achievement. That won't be happening again any time soon.
***** I've been saying refute and refuted for years here do a search. Margo isn't a stylistic threat dummy he's the exact type of boxer PBF is always accused of fighting slow come forward no defense no jab style but because PBF didn't fight him Margo beats him and he's a threat. It doesn't work like that dummy. Lesser fighters than PBF tooled Margo. Cotto who's light years easier to hit and has way less stamina than PBF was outboxing a loaded glove Margo until Margo's wraps got hard. How is Margo who's a slow starter has slow feet also slow hands with no jab no head movement who you can land on like rain on a hot tin roof going to out land and win more rounds against the best boxer of this generation? You can't draw up a scenario as to how Margo beats PBF other than PBF hurting his hand from landing so many flush punches on Margo's chin. Margo isn't outboxing PBF and he's not knocking him out how does he win? Margo would get shut out and PBF wouldn't even have to get out of first gear. You already know this and wouldn't bet a penny on Margo if the fight ever happened back then. They chose not to fight Margo because Arum wanted options and wanted to low ball him Arum also had no interest in making the Oscar fight. PBF knew he was wroth more than Arum was willing to pay him he left him and hasn't looked back since meanwhile Arum and haters like you are still bitter. Refuted ****boi.
