Name a fighter who became famous just because he had another fighters number..

GGG has a 90% KO percentage while Tony had a 57%. Why Floyd would duck a slow plodding fighter with a 57% KO percentage. I don't know. i don't know why he did either but he turned down 7 million dollars and fought sharmba for 4 million. i'm sure you will have a reason why "money" mayweather did that.

Alexander (the highlight of his career was holding to death Chino Maidana)

Sergio Martinez

Tarver definetly. He was a good fighter in his day but hes just known as the guy who knocked roy jones out.

Carlos baldomir, glen johnson

Rigendeux Victor ortiz Buster douglas EWWWW! You dared say Rigo! Daring but true. I agree. He has showed us nothing yet. Mess around and some one will have his number.

Rigendeux Victor ortiz Buster douglas

he had beaten 6 top 10 fighters, he had also beaten sergio martinez, he was ranked #1 for several years. he was basically what golovkin is now. or in floyd fans revisionist history he was a bum because every linear champ from mayorga to floyd ducked him. GGG has a 90% KO percentage while Tony had a 57%. Why Floyd would duck a slow plodding fighter with a 57% KO percentage. I don't know.

I don't think Floyd would ever have reached the same heights if he hadn't beaten Baldomir.

austin trout, with cotto This is a good one

he had beaten 6 top 10 fighters, he had also beaten sergio martinez, he was ranked #1 for several years. he was basically what golovkin is now. or in floyd fans revisionist history he was a bum because every linear champ from mayorga to floyd ducked him. Please name them? The only one I remember is Kermit Cintron. I don't count Joshua Clottey because that was a disqualification and Clottey was winning on the scorecards when he was disqualified.

This May anger some of the plaster and cement blue collar workers but I'm saying Antonio Margarito with his " win" over Cotto. Agreed! Margarito won one fight over an A-level opponent and that was against Cotto. Based on that, he became the beast of the BoxingScene message board that Floyd Mayweather supposedly retired to avoid. Those who anointed him as the guy who would KO Mayweather never mentioned the fact that Margarito lost to Daniel Santos and Paul Williams before the Cotto fight and lost to Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiaio after the Cotto fight. Also, he was behind on the scorecards against Joshua Clottey when Clottey was disqualified. In other words, Margarito lost or was losing to every significant opponent he fought except the one Cotto fight.

he had beaten 6 top 10 fighters, he had also beaten sergio martinez, he was ranked #1 for several years. he was basically what golovkin is now. or in floyd fans revisionist history he was a bum because every linear champ from mayorga to floyd ducked him. Margarito was well know before beating Cotto and had been a top ww for years... Margarito was known by hardcore fans but as for casual fans he was a no body until he " beat " Cotto. Remember the threads question about having someone's number to become famous...in Cheatos fans minds, he had Cottos number.

he had beaten 6 top 10 fighters, he had also beaten sergio martinez, he was ranked #1 for several years. he was basically what golovkin is now. or in floyd fans revisionist history he was a bum because every linear champ from mayorga to floyd ducked him. Known and famous are two different things

I will dare to say Orlando Salido over Juan Manuel lopez

Known and famous are two different things

why? who did margarito beat before upsetting cotto? he had beaten 6 top 10 fighters, he had also beaten sergio martinez, he was ranked #1 for several years. he was basically what golovkin is now. or in floyd fans revisionist history he was a bum because every linear champ from mayorga to floyd ducked him.

Jim Lampley " And this is the victory that Antonio Margarito has been waiting years for"

why? who did margarito beat before upsetting cotto? Margarito was well know before beating Cotto and had been a top ww for years...

Marquez nor Margarito should have been mentioned in this thread..
