not a bashing thread, just want to know opinions..
rumors are leaning towards Cory Spinks being Floyd's next opponent, do you consider him a better choice than Margarito?
out of the two fighters, vote the quick poll above..
2 egos that won't ever fit in one arena
U so right and thats messed up, just take the 50-50 split and get it on, but they both too stuck on themselves to negotiate correctly, but thats the fight right there!
true but if he fights spinks first he can possible get a fifth belt
while margarito takes on a name such as collazo to solidify his worth as many fans are requesting
then mayweather can take on margarito
besides margarito has had only 1 short round this year
i'd much rather see him at his best early next year[/QUOTE
Where did you get that pic of Juan Diaz? That is a tight ass pic of Juan Diaz at the Astro's game. I am from Houston myself. I am a big Juan Diaz fan and hope to se him continue to succeed. I want to use that on my Avtar.
Yeah but I like Kid Canada's idea about Winky Wright. Winky is a guy that could definitely challenge and maybe defeat Floyd. I wish more people were pushing for that fight.

The old cliche is styles make fights. And Margarito`s style is perfect to get his ass handed to him by Floyd. I really don`t even like PBF but anyone with that much hand speed and that much boxing ability would KILL Margarito, who not to take anything away from him, is basically a one dimensional fighter. Spinks could at least box well enough to make it interesting for a few rounds, like Judah did. If Floyd wants to move to 154, I`d rather see Winky come down from 160 and shut Floyd the fuck up.Then Spinks could take on Margarito and the winner could fight the winner of Floyd and Winky. Nothin`like wishful thinkin.
spinks does not hae the speed or power to go along with his boxing skills that judah had. He is taylor made to get his ass mauled by floyd mayweather, he doesn't have a great chin, he doesn't have the power to discourage floyd to come in and he is going to try to outbox the BEST boxer in the game (at least around those weight classes)?
no way,spinks is an easy opponent who'll get him less money.

Mayweather will fight Baldomir after he beats Gatti, PBF will take Baldomir's title, and then he'll fight Spinks or someone else who isn't Mosley or Margarito or Cotto or anyone with a fighting chance.
So true, why the hell are people thinking Margarito is more of a threat than Spinks I have no clue. That makes no sense what so ever. What in the world makes me people think that? Oh wait I know Arum's mouth. Spinks by far is a better Fighter than Margarito. With that said I want to see Mayweather Vs Marg just cause im tired of all the crying :bottle: .
I can't understand it either.I hope Floyd fights Margarito and Spinks.So we can see who gave him the better fight.
Spinks is a better boxer but Margarito is a more dangerous fight. Floyd is the best boxer on the planet so other skilled boxers especially ones like Spinks with no power provide no threat. Spinks also has a glass jaw. He is basically a slightly more slick; less powerful Judah and we saw what happened in that fight already. Margarito lacks the slick skills of Spinks but brings a solid chin and power. If he were to catch Floyd with a big shot, he might be able to finish him off. He is also a pressure fighter that throws a high volume of punches similar to JLC (although I think less proven and sklled) who gave Floyd his toughest fights. I think Floyd wins either fight easily but that is why Margarito is the more dangerous/worthy opponent.
Who lost to Santos ? Who lost to Steve Forbes(santos) who is on the contender the list goes on and on.Spinks beat has beat every fighter he ever fought how many fighters can say that.

Mayweather can go for a 5th "belt" but he hasn't been champ at any weight since he left 135.
LWW champion - Hatton/vacant
WW Champion - Baldomir
LMW champion - up for grabs, you could argue that Spinks has it, but Mosley is possibly the best fighter currently at 154.

hey.. do yall remember Kevin Iole... one of the few reporters to give Mayweather credit in the past couple months?:
Mayweather's not getting off this easy
by Kevin Iole
LAS VEGAS — Shane Mosley?
OK.
Winky Wright?
OK.
Ricky Hatton?
OK, again.
But Cory Spinks? No way.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported earlier this week that Cory Spinks is closing in on a deal to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr.
If that is true, all I can say is: Aaaaaargh.
Mayweather, boxing’s erstwhile pound-for-pound king, has been getting ripped in many corners for his seeming unwillingness to fight Antonio Margarito.
Now, I’ve never bought that. But if Mayweather actually goes ahead and signs to fight Spinks, perhaps the most sleep-inducing fighter to watch this side of John Ruiz, with an $8 million offer on the table to fight Margarito, then there’s no other way to put it: He’s running.
I’m not going to lambaste Mayweather if he signs to fight Mosley on Nov. 4, for that’s a fight that not only is the kind of competitive one that his critics have alleged he was ducking, but it’s also one that would do big pay-per-view numbers and would be good for the sport.
And I won’t jump on him if he opts to bypass Margarito to take on Wright. Or Hatton, for that matter.
But Cory Spinks? Puh-leeeeeeaze.
There’s still plenty of time for Mayweather to do thing right thing, which isn’t necessarily fighting Antonio Margarito on Nov. 4.
Oh, sure, I’d love to see it, since the legend of Margarito’s greatness seems to swell in proportion to Mayweather’s delaying.
I’d accept Margarito or Mosley or Wright or Hatton or Miguel Cotto or one of a number of men as Mayweather’s Nov. 4 opponent.
But Cory Spinks? Not now, not in November, not in February and, hopefully, not ever.
It would be a lame -- a weak, lame, cowardly attempt – to gain another world title.
The guy can’t be that transparent.
Can he?
true but if he fights spinks first he can possible get a fifth belt
while margarito takes on a name such as collazo to solidify his worth as many fans are requesting
then mayweather can take on margarito
besides margarito has had only 1 short round this year
i'd much rather see him at his best early next year
Which is exactly what I was implying.
So I don't know what the point of that was... :confused:
Who's a better opponent for Floyd Mayweather?
