read this on boxing talk...good topic...even though i think G. Leon is a douche bag...whats your take on this...same thing? or is it different because margarito had fought williams and wanted the rematch when the williams camp didnt?
*Yo G, If I recall, when Mayweather opted to fight Baldomir for $1 more than he was going to get to fight Margarito, all the haters bashed Floyd for ducking "the most feard" guy.. So where are all these Margarito fans who constantly bashed Floyd, now that he has accepted $2,000,000 to fight Mosley, when he was offered $4,000,000 to fight the most feared guy now, Paul Williams? It's not like Floyd took half the money to fight Baldomir, yet it was all like "Floyd is ducking Margarito!!!" everywhere you looked.. So where are they now?B from NY
Leon's Response: Good point and one that the Margaritoes will never bring up or email me about.*
Even better than Carlos Monzon?
thats exactly what i said!...i mean, i like baldomir...but he beat zab and gatti...both not real natural welters...monzon was a dominant middleweight...
On the question about comparing 37 year old Mosley to Baldomir:
Is Mosley a 10 year undefeated Ring champion? No. So no. why should we drag this further than the fact range when facts on themselves are overwhelming is beyond me. Also Mosley is much older than Baldomir was. Baldomir is simple the best EVER out of Argentina, which has had quite a few good quality fighters.
Even better than Carlos Monzon?
Career investment??? LOL
So Mayweather saying Cotto is not big enough was a career investment, Hoping Cotto becomes a big star meaning when the fought it would be a super fight. That is a career investment right??
who the **** is talking about Cotto? And that is an even worse comparison. You know damn well that Floyd still would have fought Hatton even if he was offered less money for that fight because it would be a bigger fight than Cotto and would have given more bargaining chips for the future.
Furthermore, has Margarito announced or hinted he was retiring next year? You guys keep talking like Margarito is at the end of his career and will DEFINITELY not fight Williams ever.
We can do this all night and all night I can shut you down with this shit.
Now you Margarito fans are using Mayweather fans tactics, ain't that a bitch
First of, Im not a Margarito fan and you know that. But your lack of debate skills cause you to resort to slander and lies so I know you will keep saying that I am. Second of all, you guys dug your own whole with this shit and you of all people are guilty of these "tactics".
Your weak ass argument is that Margarito is "scared" because he took less money for the Mosley fight than what was offered with the Williams fight, yet you know Mosley will ultimately bring in the most money as career investment. You know your own argument is null n void, but you'll keep posting the same shit over and over. Thats just what type of character you have.
bullshit comparison for the fact that
A. Margarito fought Williams already and Floyd never stepped in the ring with Tony
B. Mosley's name on Margo's resume will most likely bring in more money than a fight with Williams so this "Margarito is taking less money" bullshit is exactly that......bullshit.
I DARE any Williams/Floyd fan to prove to me how Williams will bring in more money than Mosley. Floyd/Williams fans (one in the same) should be the FIRST fans to understand what Margo is doing because they've spent most of their fanship defending Floyd for it.

i dont know man...i like baldomir...but you thinks hes better than Monzon? the way i see it...margarito is doing the same thing williams did...even though williams beat margarito...it seems margaritos got the upper hand in negotiating the fight...so he'll fight whoever he wants first...then come back to williams when hes ready...
Bottom line is Floyd Mayweather was indeed a VERY SPECIAL fighter, and as the time passes he leaves everyone else behind, not even being in the game anymore! wow. Of this whole modern era i think Floyd is the very best, i never had any doubts. In a time nearly everyone is either an Hall of Famer or ATG, Floyd is the one, deserving of these bragging rights. Bernard Hopkins and Jones have some to mind too but Oscar is more of a star than a fighter and he'll always shine better outside the rings. On pure skill (thus the best boxer,not the most accomplished) Floyd edges everyone imo, even prime Jones.
