Like it or not, Antonio Margarito is at least the top 3 in the Welterweight division. Does he deserve his shot at Floyd? Absoultely.
Floyd Mayweather at 147 is NOT the Floyd Mayweather at 140. In case you haven't noticed his two fights at Welter happened to be against two other former 140 lb fighters.
Antonio is big as all hell, can punch, and is going to make Mayweather work his fucking ass off.
If you can't recognize this then you can't see much.
Once again, if Mayweather does not fight Hatton, De La Hoya, or Margarito in his next outing...he IS DUCKING ANTONIO MARGARITO.
or he just doesnt see the point. floyd has nothing to gain from fighting a mediocre boxer like margarito.
shut the fuck up. seriously, shut the fuck up.
fuck antonio margarito, he's garbage, overrated, lost or got a draw against daniel santos of all people, and you think floyd (the best p4p fighter right now, and one of the best ever) is ducking HIM?
get the fuck outta here. oscars not even on floyds level and floyd is gonna wipe the floor with him, but he deserves it way more than margarita does.

The guy is a good fighter and a top welterweight. Plain and simple.
For Floyd to so openly disrespect Margarito, say he's easy work but pass up his biggest payday of his career against him kind of says it all.
But I do understand he's trying to get a fight with Oscar.
If Floyd doesn't fight either Hatton, Oscar, or Margarito in his next fight then the answer is yes....he's ducking Margarito.

This thread is the most disgusting thing I've ever read on this site. "The legend of Antonio Margarito" What the fuck is this?! Floyd and Oscar have a chance to make history and you're suggesting Margarito? The name Antonio Margarito makes me want to vomit at this point. Get over it, he's possibly one of the most overrated fighters with online boxing fans that I've seen in years. Most of his fans on this site make zero sense and all they know how to say is "ducking Margarito". Every fucking thread becomes the same thing! You can't even bring up Floyd's name without a select few screwing it up. Just link an old thread. This is the best boxing forum I'm ever read on and it's being ruined by this stupid BS.

You have to look at the big picture. 50 years from now people will be talking about fighters like De La Hoya and Mayweather. You always see these garbage threads "what if x and y fought at this weight? what would happen?"
Well, now, there is a real life opportunity for two legends to face each other in the ring. Its not so much about what has Mayweather done to earn a shot at 147, its more about the fact that Mayweather is P4P #1 and already a hall of famer and he has the chance to face another hall of famer. Its a legendary fight waiting to be made.
Margarito will be waiting for Mayweather if he beats Oscar (and even if he doesn't), there is no rush for Margarito to fight Floyd right now. After the Oscar fight, Floyd will have nobody to fight except Hatton or Margarito, either of which would shut a lot of people up. In the meantime, Margarito should be looking for another top contender (maybe a title holder?) to fight at 147 instead of a taxi driver like Gomez. He won't be avoided if fighters are getting offered big money to fight him, provided there isn't a bigger payday out there.
be it as it be, truth be told they will also talk about how antonio margarito had to wait so long before mayweather and other world champions gave him a title shot, right now mayweather and company are making the legend of antonio margarito even bigger.
plus when/if delahoya v. mayweather fight it means little since mayweather is not the best fighter at 147 and has yet to prove it
after seeing delahoya in with mayorga it would be a very, very bad decision for him to fight margarito in this part of his career, too much of a war that delahoya would have to go through if he fights margarito

if you can find yourself a taxi driver that can fight like gomez, and you manage him, you can make a lot of money
why is it that some floyd fans are scared of margarito?
tell me again what has mayweather done at 147 to get a shot at delahoya?

floyd isn't an exeption, he's not ducking margarito. besides margarito doesn't deserve to be in the same ring as mayweather, he never beat anyone except a so-called contender in cintron

DLH would give Mayweather a run for his money
let's hope that doesn't involve literally running. i do, though, think that he learned his lesson from that fight with trinidad.
why is it floyds the exception, when it comes for him to take on a contender, he gets a free ride, ridicules

can we get a de la hoya fight that's not a ppv for a change?
if dlh and pbf get the contracts signed, i might actually buy the ppv, providing there's a nice undercard.
i can't say i would for sure though, even though the match up is intriguing.
The fight will be made:
And in my best estimation, the greatest single fight of all time.
It has it all, and everyone knows it does. Way bigger than the fight of the millenium. Much bigger.
I still harbor reservations about DLH in big time PPV fights. After he stuunk up the joint against Trinidad(i had dlh winning, but a crappy fight nonetheless) and Hopkins i refused to get a DLH PPV fight ever again. This dismantling of a C level club fighter won't change my mind.
your insane if you think mayweather is ducking any of these overated fighters. mayweather easily beats margarito or hatton.
why is it floyds the exception, when it comes for him to take on a contender, he gets a free ride, ridicules
I dont think he is saying that beating DLH beating Mayorga would mean he would beat mayweather. His point is that watching DLH last night you still see his speed/power. What we didnt know was how much speed does dlh still have. Now we know DLH has still got it and it all depends on how you feel about how they matchup in a fight. Personally I think DLH size/speed/power/jab will give him a shot in a fight with mayweather especially at 154
Correct. Floyd easy UD over this version of Oscar who weighs in at 153.5 with jeans on? No. Floyd can be walked down by Oscar if he was walked down by Castillo.
Mayorga's 'amatuer' style has been effective in the past. Regardless of the wayhe throws punches, he has been able to make them land to get several big wins and therefore was rightfully perceived to be a legit threat.
