    The op said Floyd fought every relevant welterweight when he joined the division. I pointed out that he didn’t. Has nothing to do with being bothered by but more so pointing out the fact that Margarito was at that time the longest reigning belt holder in the division. You can ignore the facts all you want but he was champion for 5 years. That’s pretty relevant. All your other ranting about hate and bitterness is a projection about something going on with you. I hope you get that figured out.

    The WBO was recognized as a full title until 2008 but a question for you why didn’t Margarito try to fight any of the top fighters in his division before calling out Floyd name?

    Not only did he beat him, he embarrassed him.

    He did. It was known they didn’t want to fight him either. Boxing didn’t start for many of us in May 2007. The excuse was the same, he was a high risk, low reward. The same they say for Ennis now.

    I think there's a reason Bradley chose to fight Pacquiao instead of Floyd. Bradley knew he had no chance of beating Floyd.

    I can't see Bradley beating Floyd, or even coming close. Floyd had every physical and technical advantage over him. Bradley wins MAYBE 3 rounds at the very most.

    You must be high. Froid fought a blown-up Hatton and then retired in order to avoid the guys who were actual threats in his division, then came back a couple years later to fight blown-up JMM. He's the Goat Ducker.

    You must be a casual. Hatton and his team turned pbf down at 140 after he beat gatti saying he wasn't ready, blame hatton. Pbf then moved up to 147 to chase zab.

    They were only threats because pbf didn't fight them. Had he fought them and schooled them like he did over 90% of the fighters he fought, then they would be seen as another cherrypick by hating casuals like you love to claim and he's ducking someone else who would've beaten him.

    My friend Antonio The Tijuana Tornado Margarito has the number of TBE Mayweather . He made Floyd literally **** himself by merely walking up to him & asking very politely " Why wont you fight me Floyd"??????
    ROFLMAO Floyds reactions showed clearly why he wouldn't fight Tony He was obviously SCARED TO DEATH OF HIM !!!!!! what a embarrassment for the so called THE BEST EVER !! ROLFLMAO that was one of the highlights of my years in the sport to see that. The world witnessed it too Danny said Floyd was Terrified !!

    That's because you do not have a clue about the sport. That "loaded gloves " Bull feces gave both Floyd & Oscar an out so they wouldn't have to ever fight him. Even gave Pinky Cotto an excuse why Tony demolished him. It failed though Cotto couldn't even beat a opponent fighting from round 2 with only one good eye. Cotto had to rely on hid buddy the doc didn't he ROFL I'm proud to say I always supported Antonio Margarito 100% He was something neither Floyd , Oscar nor Cotto was He was a FIGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that never feared any man

    And this is the exact argument Fury will use for himself if he really does retire without fighting Usyk or Joshua. Fury has definitely taken note from the Mayweather playbook.

    Always best to take notes from the winners, I guess.

    Technically he was. He was the unified boxing, UFC, kickboxing and YT boxing champion.
