Mayweather Scared of Margarito and Ducking Cotto

Margarito yes anyone else like Cotto nah.. so did shane also duck margarito?their were talks of shane not wanting to fight margarito around that time too but floyd was ranked higher at tthe time and i guess people just like to hate on floyd.

He fought baldy who had 10 losses on his cv. Back then NSB was flooded with talk about margarito he was the main man, you couldnt not know who he was. Floyd didnt want him thats for sure, and ducked seems like the most appropriate word, or avoided. i live in new york and in new york no one knew who margarito was,more people over here knew who baldomir was because he beat judah.who had margarito beat that made him known to the mainstream?

Again, why hang your hat on a myth that's already been busted...

I've been saying this for years..Mayweather Paid Margarito 750,000.00 Dollars not to Face him and He then Retired for a Year not to face Cotto. Video Footage of Floyd Mayweather Ducking Margarito and Cotto. PRPP:boxing: it's a shame that some puerto ricans would jump on a margarito banwagon even tho most of them feel he cheated cotto just to hate/spite floyd mayweather

Will this myth about Mayweather ducking Margarito ever die?? It's common knowledge that Mayweather was pursuing a fight with De La Hoya in 2006, which Arum never really entertained as Mayweather's promoter. This factor along with financial issues led to Mayweather rejecting the Margarito fight in an effort to separate from Arum. IDIOTS who still hang their hats on this myth also need to understand that Mayweather fought Baldomir who was THE LINEAL CHAMP AT WELTERWEIGHT at that point in time. Why should he have wasted his time with Margarito who was relatively unknown at the time as WELL AS A TOP RANK fighter???

He ducks fighters he dont think he can beat, Pac is the current one. He thinks he can beat Cotto now, thats why he is fighting him now, and not back then. Or maybe at best, back then Floyd did think he could beat Cotto, but just thought he would suffer too much hardship and pain in the actual fight. More trouble than it was worth.

margarito was a monster back at welter... floyd might have beaten him if they fought 5-6 years ago, but floyd would never be the same after that... cotto?.. nope... floyd will easily beat him anytime at any weight...

Margarito yes anyone else like Cotto nah..

I'll entertain him ducking Margarito. Margarito was huge, dominant, and it was a relatively new weight class for him. Cotto? Not a chance in hell. I can rock with this^^^^^^^^ "Floyd's critics see him as a talented coward"...thats what Naazim said on that May-Mosley 24/7....but Naazim said he didn't buy that...he thought Floyd was the type who'll stand and rumble if he had to.....I agree with the OG from North Philly

If I was a fighter I would've ducked MarGODito too

i'll be real he did duck Marg bk in 06..... but Cotto naw Arum didn't want Floyd anywhere near Cotto Mayweather begged arum for that fight I agree 100%

why are you acting like that was the only point in time he could of fought him? my bad man, i responded to you on this but i put the wrong quote. Ok lets say that wasn't the only point in time. When could he have fought marg?

bro every one ducked margs at that time. He was called the most feared man on the planet for nothing. But floyd has a nack for avoiding the toughest fights out there. I find it amazing that floyd was known for people avoiding him when he was comming up but sumhow floyd is now known for avoiding people once he left top rank......right

im sorry but we'll have to agree to disagree homie. After baldomir that man had 10 days to wait to see if oscar could beat mayorga for what would turn out to be not only his biggest payday at the time but the highest ppv in history. But he had less than that to buy out his contract from a promoter who wanted nothing to do with oscar for the opportunity to do so. What would you have done? Marg just happend to be in the wrong spot at the wrong time. If clottey had beaten marg, it would have been him in that spot. And ppl would be sayin he dukked clottey (oh wait they do???). I mean really think about it, why would Floyds bitter enemy Arum say that floyd would have fought marg but wanted more money to fight cash cows like cotto or hatton if floyd had fear of marg? Your right it is business and floyd was shoppin around for a good deal and he got it with Oscar. So now every fighter that has options and chooses the best one for his career and family is now dukking every other fighter that wanted a piece of him at the time? why are you acting like that was the only point in time he could of fought him?

the real question is what would you do if he loses? actually no he couldnt have seeing as floyd hasnt fought a fighter under the top rank banner since he left....But i'll humor you. Lets say he could have fought marg after he left and fought dela hoya. When was it gonna happen? He fought Dela hoya on cinco de mayo and marg got beat da hell up by paul williams in august barley 3 months later. So when was this fight to take place?

bro every one knows he ducked margs but as he likes to state it its just business. im sorry but we'll have to agree to disagree homie.

man paid 750k to leave top rank and run his own career and is making alot more money.just like cotto just left and is getting a career high payday..........common sense he could of left and still fought margarito.

lol.......this guy is hilarious......what excuse will you have after he beats Cotto's ass? the real question is what would you do if he loses?
