What do you guys think? Personally I say no for now, but if he isn't able to make a fight with De La Hoya for whatever reason and then he still won't fight Margarito I would change my opinion and say he is ducking him.
I think he is but not becuase he is scared, its becuase he sees it like this why fight Margarito when he can fight DLH..come on its a no brainer. After he fight DLH im sure he will fight Margorito.
I looked up DUCK in the dictionary...
Duck(verb) - to turn down $8-million to fight a challenger and instead pay $750,000 to your promoter to release your contract.
:D
None of those people are even close to the calibre of fighter that mayweather is. Please. A guy like Margarito is a dime a dozen in each division, a guy like mayweather is once or twice every 10 years.
You know what? You're right.
Mayweather is in a class of his own, and I like the guy...because of his godly skills and whatnot. That doesn't change the fact that he's ducking Antonio Margarito.
Oh and BTW: Saying Margarito is "A dime a Dozen" is pretty ignorant. Is that why he's highly regarded among boxing experts? Is that why he does everything but kill his sparring partners...and resorts to fighting light heavyweights in training? Is that why he's one of the most feared fighters in the sport?
If you deny any of the questions' foundations...then you really haven't been paying attention to Antonio Margarito.

You also "Knew" Brewster would beat Liakahovic. You also "knew" Harrison would beat Guinn. You also "Knew" Skelton would beat Williams.

i love proving ppl wrong :rolleyes: it's better then gettin a ko in boxing
Haha, I guess you kinda got me on that one. The only problem with that poll is that it makes you choose that either Floyd is ducking Margarito or Margarito is ducking Floyd, one or the other. My poll only asks whether or not Floyd is ducking Margarito, since it is obvious that Margarito is not ducking Floyd.
the "public" also knows margarito would lose to mayweather, if mayweather loses it will be how margarito is an alltime great...blah blah, but if mayweather wins people will say "so what everyone knew he was going to win", and people r gonna say its no big deal he beat him
wrong if mayweather wins it proves his greatness and p4p status and the history books will note this
Ya its a privilage to fight the number 1 pound for pound fighter in the world.
If it wasnt a privilage, why would tony be willing to take 10% of the purse?
when you are getting paid the most money you have every made even if its 10% percent of the purse you take the fight that is offered on the table
roy just wants easy fights, i mean floyd....
Basically, people that hate Mexicans vote no and everyone else votes yes.
i by far dont hate mexican's its jus that i would go for the more money and so would u guys. im sure u would want to be finacially set for life right? u guys gotta think of it in a finacial way, floyd has the ball in his court and he's doing it right
Basically, people that hate Mexicans vote no and everyone else votes yes.
Nah bro, i love mexican fighters, i just want Mayweather to fight Hatton...as ive said like a million times before.
Basically, Mexicans vote yes and everyone else votes no

so now it becomes a privlige to fight mayweather :rolleyes: tell me what has mayweather done lately to fight delahoya
Ya its a privilage to fight the number 1 pound for pound fighter in the world.

Everyone says that what does pbf has to gain for fighting margarito?..well, tell me what did pbf had to gain in fighting brusseles and mitchell....?
those fights were for alot less money..so any excuse that's invented by pbf nutthuggers must explain why he fought those guys and not margarito....
brussels is irrelevant in this argument, so thats pointless, and he gained fighting experience at welterweight by fighting mitchell. Anyone with half a brain knows that.
Basically, Mexicans vote yes and everyone else votes no
Well, ferocity did point out a couple of publications, most notably ring have rated margarito very highly, which is admirable. However, i agree most of the hype comes from the mexicans on this board who all of the sudden, overrate margarito, and then marginalize mayweather, making statements like castillo is better than mayweather, or asking why is it a privledge to fight mayweather.
The fact is, if it wasnt a privledge to fight mayweather, margarito wouldnt be pushing for the fight so badly. Its as if everyone overnight forgot who mayweather was, which is why he has his defenders (in this case myself), i defend his actions because i see the sheer bias in the defenders of margarito, who overrate his accomplishments, and undermine mayweather.
If margarito was worth something, and he knew he could get a fight with DLH, he would do the same thing. But the thing is, Margarito doesnt have anywhere near that kind of charisma to earn a shot at DLH, nor does he have the credible resume. He will just have to wait, this isnt Lacy/Calzhage, where the ducking went on for years, Floyd has been at this weight for id say about 8 months, he can fuckin wait, and stop crying, and fight some more lucrative opponents so that a title shot against mayweather not only looks earned, but less desperate to make some kind of name for himself.
If he gets destroyed by mayweather, then essentially, he goes back into obscurity, which is where he is right now.
