Floyd turned down $8million to fight margarito in 2006

Find another profession??? Why because you or people like you say so? In case you didin't know there is a distinct difference between a fighter and a boxer. Too not be concerned about ones health and well being is to be reckless. Guys like that do not last long in the SPORT and usually leave with less than they came with. I agree with most of you on here that says Pac or Cotto for that matter are far more entertaining and will fight anyone. Floyd is a boxer and the last time I checked the sport was still named as such. Although I would prefer he fought better competition, I can understand his approach of picking his battles and making the most money possible. Nobody makes them become fighters. Like I said, if the concern for their health was that great, they would have found something else to do. However, they chose to be in the ring risking their health.

What has he done. He beat Cotto. A very good fighter. Beat Cintron another C level fighter. Beat Clottey who was fighting wit injured hands who is a pretty good fighter. Outside of that he aint done shit. His best win is Cotto and that win is up in the air because he's a cheater. I didn't ask what Margarito has done........I asked what other fighters have done more than him @ WW?? I'm still waiting. FYI Margs was injured too on the Clottey fight, but I guess that doesn't count right??

All I can say is, if they were that concerned with their well being and health, they'd have found another profession to be in. But they are indeed fighters and people expect the best to take on the best money issues or not. Find another profession??? Why because you or people like you say so?

If Pryor was "dying" to fight Leonard, then he should've accepted half a mil. I've heard of that offer before but didn't see any proof of the offer either...

Margarito aint on the level of any of them guys and Pryor was dying to fight Leonard but Leonard wasn't having that... Neither Baldomir or Margarito are elite fighters... If Pryor was "dying" to fight Leonard, then he should've accepted half a mil.

That's what I thought. You're claiming he's a C level fighter. Tell me of C, B, hell even level A fighters that have done what he's done at WW? What has he done. He beat Cotto. A very good fighter. Beat Cintron another C level fighter. Beat Clottey who was fighting wit injured hands who is a pretty good fighter. Outside of that he aint done shit.

I don't know why your a fan of a cheater but...we talkin who's a flat out better fighter or who has a better resume than him? That's what I thought. You're claiming he's a C level fighter. Tell me of C, B, hell even level A fighters that have done what he's done at WW?

Ok if Margs is a C- level fighter then ......NAME ME 10 BETTER WWs OF THIS ERA?? BETTER YET....NAME ME 6. Tell me who has been a champion LONGER than him in this generation at WW?? I'll wait. I don't know why your a fan of a cheater but...we talkin who's a flat out better fighter or who has a better resume than him?

When we look back at history this won't matter cuz Margarito is a C- level fighter nowhere near HOF status and will be known as a cheater. Whether you feel he ducked him or not is your opinion. It doesn't hurt Floyd's career... Now that's he back, if he doesn't fight the best it hurts his legacy... Ok if Margs is a C- level fighter then ......NAME ME 10 BETTER WWs OF THIS ERA?? BETTER YET....NAME ME 6. Tell me who has been a champion LONGER than him in this generation at WW?? I'll wait.

Brian Kenny hotted Floyd up about not fighting Baldomir or Hatton instead of Judah and everyone bitched so Floyd fought them and in between broke records with a fight against ODLH. Who in their right mind would choose Margarito in those circumstances? Margo wasn't anyone....Baldomir was lineal and people, regardless of what they claim now, thought Baldy could hurt Floyd.

So let me get this straight. It is not okay for Floyd to fight the #2 P4P fighter in the world in his come back fight.. despite the fact they started 4 pounds apart from each other. But.. it is ok for Cotto to fight Pac???? why isnt' there a damn uproar about this? Some of the people on this site are a joke. Double standards are every where. The truth is that PBF is as controversial as it can get in boxing...which translates in more money and interest from the fans and haters...smartest self-manage boxer...like it or not. As a PBF fan I really expect him to comeback and fight the top contenders at the weight he fights...it's just a matter of time...after having a tune up, no disrespect to JMM but that's what that fight really is.

Mayweather rejected an offer of US$8 million to fight Antonio Margarito and split with promoter Bob Arum Mayweather earned $8 million for the fight, while Baldomir was paid $1.6 million. Both were career highs in earnings for each fighter at the time. Mayweather says money was the issue for not fighting margarito....it was? yaaaaawnn....same BS

And?? That doesn't make it a legit fight. Look man, if it were one of my favorite boxers pulling the shit Mayweather is doing....I wouldn't even be a fan.Sure it makes it a legit fight.

JMM beat Pac and you know that bro. And?? That doesn't make it a legit fight. Look man, if it were one of my favorite boxers pulling the shit Mayweather is doing....I wouldn't even be a fan.

A comeback fighter that has..........0, zip, nada, jack shit, nothing above 135. I would of been ok if he fought a WW bum as a tune up. Cotto has been fighting the top dogs, if Mayweather were to of been doing the same thing instead of being retired to avoid them(WW). Most people wouldn't of had a problem with him fighting someone like Marquez. Also Pac is a champion @ 140...Cotto @ 147. ONE Division. JMM beat Pac and you know that bro.

Floyd is scared of Cotto and Marg period. he chose to retire. http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh284/boojee12/floydcrying1.jpg those are tears of fear. Look at Garcia laughing in the background.

It's simple why the fight with Margarito fight didn't happen. At the time Oscar hated Arum and wouldn't fight Floyd if he was with Arum. So Floyd bought out his contract so he could fight Oscar. Simple math tells me that 10 mill that Floyd made against Baldomir and 25 mill that Floyd made against Oscar is more than the 8 mill he would have made against Margarito.

Floyd was the best WW. Tony and Cotto have never been the best at anything. Floyd is scared of Cotto and Marg period. he chose to retire. http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh284/boojee12/floydcrying1.jpg those are tears of fear.
