i am really sick of hearing that floyd is ducking margarito,
i mean margarito is a trong welterweight and very powerfull, but it's not a fight that will give floyd the credit that he deserves. theyre are bigger fight out there, like cotto or mosley. All the mayweather hater want to find excuses, but you must admit he's the pound 4 pound
Name me one Top Rank fighter Floyd had a bout with after he left Arum and that company.?
I'll wait...
Both sides were OK at that point in time. Think about it .... Arum was probably thinking that until Floyd moves onto another promoter, there is still a chance that Floyd can change his mind and Floyd may still be questioning his move ....
both sides at the beginning said it was amicable split and Arum said that he was hopeful that a Margarito vs Floyd fight would happen and was willing to wait a few more months before getting Margarito in the ring again until Floyd decides. Floyd .... well, he didn't want Margarito so Margarito fought Clottey instead.
:rofl: Talk about denial. :dunce:
OK .... so maybe I gave you too much credit and thought you knew what you were talking about. Either you knew and are in denial or don't know .........
Margarito signed to fight Clottey late summer once Floyd got out of the TR contract. Oscar was lined up after Baldomir, then Margarito lost to Williams. Margarito wasn't the best option anymore.
Floyd could have fought Margarito in August or November or somewhere in between. Margarito called out Floyd. Floyd said not this time.
This was known way before any signing of any fight. Could have been signed in April, May, June, July, August, .... Stop the denials. Don't make it sound like there was a small window of opportunity ....
Mayweather had to buy out of the contract and fight Oscar and Baldomir away from Top Rank because Arum basically said no to a future Delahoya fight, which meant no future Margarito fight.
Wrong!
Floyd was as free as a bird when he paid Arum BUT both sides said that it didn't mean that Floyd can't fight TR fighters.
Arum had plans to get Margarito to fight Floyd or someone else in August of that year. Floyd said "can't fight Margarito because of bruise". Arum said, if Floyd fights a bit later, we may then wait it out for Margarito.
Floyd fought in November.
Margarito waited from February to December to fight ...
You guys are in denial. Floyd wanted no part of Margarito back then because he was too risky. Again, he could have fought him all that year as Margarito was waiting for Floyd .... but Floyd didn't want the challenge!
Floyd was left with no choice but to fight Baldomir sadly because that's the only way he could get to an Oscar Delahoyd fight.
What does Baldomir have to do with getting a fight with Oscar?
Floyd calls himself a coward.
Floyd never said that so stop putting words in his mouth.
Yes he did, fast forward to 3:15
To be Fair E.P.T. he says "he's a Rich Scared Coward" and then goes on to question his dumb fans on why they want to watch him since he a self admitted coward.
comparing floyd to cotto now :lol1: Cotto gasses late and he is chinny, him and mayweather are literally nothing alike.
why would he fight margarito, when he could fight delahoya? Its a better fight for more money.
You didn't read all my previous posts I presume. It's boxing, so whoever you think should win does not always win. There have been many upsets. Now add the fact that Margarito has beaten quality opponents like Cotto and the odds improve.
You need to fight to get credit with a win. Sorry but Floyd can't get credit for ducking! Only happens with Floyd's fans fantasy world.
In 2006, Floyd had several opportunities to fight Margarito. Floyd's camp said "we are turning down a fight with Margarito because Floyd has a bruise on his hand" ... Floyd fought Baldomir in November. Judah fight was early April. Floyd pretty much said NO two times to Margarito that year and yes to Baldomir not Oscar.
Was that hard? Look, I can't take you serious anymore, but you made a great effort in defending that maggot cheating bastard. In the future, know this: On Margarito's best day and with plaster...he could never beat a fighter like Floyd. He probably needed those bricks to defeat a lot of his comp during his career and it was never more evident than when he beat and lost to Cotto.
Stop the nonsense. Margarito was a one-eyed bandit when he faced Cotto again. That is all that was evident. Yes, it was possible that he did cheat and don't like Margarito very much for that reason but what you said is not a fact.
Like usual, Floyd fans try to derail the truth about their hero ducking fighters..... nice try but it is what it is.

Do you believe that Margarito could've beaten Floyd?
YES, it was possible .... it's boxing. Saw what he did to Cotto and others? Again, the odds are in Floyd's favor for several reasons BUT the topic is that Margarito back then was too risky for Floyd so Floyd fought Baldomir. Floyd even admitted when asked why he ducked him years before and Floyd responded that he knew that there was something fishy about Margarito.
I repeat, Floyd's team said "We can't fight Margarito because he got a hand bruise against Judah." They even clarified that it wasn't broke.
Floyd fought Judah in early 2006. Floyd had two opportunities to fight Margarito. In August and then later in November. Bruised hand??? You still buy Floyd's side of the story??? Come on, it was a DUCK!!!
You must have me confused with someone else because I was rooting for Mosley NOT Margarito! I was rooting for Lucas over Peterson.
You have been picking before I was born? I'm not a young kid ... I have kids and have seen Ali vs Spinks live not on Youtube. So I may be older than you.
Floyd vs Margarito: Floyd would be favored BUT like I said, they need to fight! Floyd is not a risk taker .... Margarito was too risky for Floyd's health!
Do you believe that Margarito could've beaten Floyd?
Is it Margarito's birthday today, lmao! Who dug up this thread? The man is retired. He never became great. He just didn't have the style to become great so either he or his trainer resorted to using a plaster like substance until he was caught. Those same punches he landed on Cotto in fight 1 didn't do the same damage in the rematch. Why?
Look, I've been wrong a million times picking fights lol. Don't make me special lol.
I was wrong about Rigo and Donaire, yet I didn't catch heat for that fight.
For some reason when Matthysse beat Peterson, I got called on my pick by not Matthysse's fans, but Margarito's fans.
Why? We all know why. That doesn't bother me. Homers will be Homers.
You were wrong when you picked Margarito to ko Shane. I never singled you or any Margarito fan out.
I've been picking winners and losers before you were born. This is a little kids argument what you posted above. You can't be a Pac fan all of your life and then become a Margarito fan because you think Floyd ducked him. I know you're still hurt that PAc was ko'd. But back to the subject at hand.
Do you think that Margarito could beat Floyd. Yes or no.
I think McCallum beats Hearns, but we will never know...but that didn't stop me from giving my opinion. Do YOU think Margarito could've beat Floyd?
You must have me confused with someone else because I was rooting for Mosley NOT Margarito! I was rooting for Lucas over Peterson.

Floyd vs Margarito: Floyd would be favored BUT like I said, they need to fight! Floyd is not a risk taker .... Margarito was too risky for Floyd's health!
And yet Floyd is undefeated, and where is Margarito at now? You never answered my question. Could Margarito beat Floyd, lmao? A simple yes or no would suffice. Be honest lol.
and yet floyd is considered a b!tch. Well never know thanks to your butt pirate floyd.
