You know the only reason Floyd went to 147 was to chase a fight with De la hoya...
Floyd was about to leave the WW division after 1 fight. (Mitchell)
He was about to go straight to 154(where oscar was at) to fight Spinks....But the fight did not materialize because of lack of interest. and Spinks demanding to much.
So he decided to fight the Winner of the baldomir/Judah Fight which he thought ultimately would be Judah. In which he would set up a Big fight with Judah to see who was the baddest of their era...
Judah lost, but the fight still happen because of the fight still sparked alot of interest. After Judah. People try to discredit that win and said Floyd should of fought the man that beat Judah. So Floyd Decide to do so
So decided to fight Baldomir to see who the real welther weight champion was .a fight in which everybody thought would be his riskiest fight for the Lineal Welterweight title.
After that Fight, He got his dream Fight with Oscar De La Hoya.and then Retired.
But then Popular UNDEFEATED number # 6 p4p call him out to fight.
In which was going to be at 140. But Hatton didnt want to put up his belt. So the fight was place at 147.
So if you look at Sequences of events...You would know Floyd really never gave a shit about the WW division, He was first chasing Oscar....And then Could not pass up an Opportunity to Knock out a very popular undefeated fighter in Ricky Hatton.
Your insight into the mind of Floyd is most impressive. I think you have "hit the nail on the head" as they say.
I have an assumption that it has a lot to do with the hate he gets. Keep in mind that the hair is not seen on any of the guys above, so it shouldn't be a problem to have his face on the "forums" button.
Mullets are now fashionable. They also serve to intimidate ones opponent as you saw last Saturday.
What do you mean? I think all the Mexicans were making this many threads before the fight as well. The result has just encouraged them I think.
Yeah thats true but before I became a member here, I used to read the forums and never saw this much Margarito support. Makes sense though he proved all the naysayers wrong...FINALLY. So although I have been a long time Margarito fan I am glad to see all the newfound support. :D
I think Chris woud give Peter some problems. That would be a great fight.
Hmmm 2 guys with very little boxing skills clubbing each other, even so Arreola is garbage EVEN compared to Peter. Peter would deystroy him. Peter by 1st round KO.
Although I was disappointed about the accusations of domestic battery by his former girlfriend and while I think he is an asshole of a person I think Lampley is one of the best boxing commentators today.
There clearly isn't enough Margs threads on this forum...just doing my bit.
Boy how people have changed towards Margarito...bunch of fickle band-wagon jumpers. :no:
I'm so fucking sick of people ripping on that kid.
He's a knockout artist machine who has maybe the nastiest right hand I've seen in the WW division since who? Hearns?
The guy is a bear who showed serious grit in his last loss to Tony.
1 of those nasty overhand rights would KTFO Cotto with ease.
I agree initially, but once I think about it more.. Cotto does not have the chin but Cintron doesnt have the greatest heart or chin, so it may go either way. Would be a good fight though.
