WHY do u want DLH/PBF to win

[MindBat]

I like Floyd...

I believe there's an article mentioning that Floyd would've been on par with Oscar's popularity if not for his relationship with Bob Arum, based on his skills and style.

I think Bob was promoting both DLH and PBF at one point, but concentrated his promotional energies on Oscar.

It may or may not have been due to Floyd's attitude I guess.

Floyd, to me, is like when RJJ was fighting.

I prefer the boxing style to the brawlers.

Shows the sweet science in the essence: with boxing and ring generalship.

Like the stylists: Willie Pep, Ali, Leonard, Whitaker, etc.

Brawlers, to me, are boring to watch. Though I did like the Castillo/Corrales 1
match. That was both a rare and exciting fight to me.

That said, I want Floyd to win.

I want to see him win so I can win some money. lol I could care less about him talking ****. If his opponents can't take it....tough. Go to Sunday school or something where they don't talk ****. Cry babies.

honestly i want DLH to win cause i heard PBF turned down a fight with Antonio margarito because he wanted to preserve his perfect record. it wasnt a money issue, cause he would have made more money fighting Marquez, than what he did fighting some other guy.

belive it or not:

another reason i want DLH to win is because the day they fight. imagine how bad us Mexicans will look if we lose on Cinco De Mayo -_-.


BUT, im betting my friends for PBF. why? because if PBF wins, i get money. if DLH wins, then i get pride(yes, it is because he is Mexican)


hope thats enough reason for you

There were a few soundbites on that vid.

I don't think...and this has been already discussed...
that Floyd was ducking Margarito.

The Margarito vs Clottey fight was proof enough that Margarito was exposed and can be stopped, IMO.

That said, I think Floyd turned down 8 mill to fight Margarito, to gain $10 mill to fight Oscar, a multiple champion and gold medal olympian, at a higher weight, and the possibility of making more mega-mil$ on a re-match...yes, with Oscar, if I'm correct.

reason i put "believe it or not" is because i aslo read the espn article about this, and the Mayweather crew said it was because he had an injured hand, but in that vid, his reason is because he wants to go up, not down.


also, there are a few vids that were on youtube that say "Marquez confronts mayweather jr." but when i click on them it says the video has been removed due to violation of....etc.

i wonder why?

Floyds annoying, he's as annoying as that Jason Litzau fighter and they both probably have the same weak ass chin.

Just to try and clear things up for you a bit, Floyd had a hand injury and wasn't going to fight anyone in August (which is when they first wanted him to fight Margarito). He said he wasn't fighting until at least October, which was basically him giving DLH time to make a decision. After that fell through, he was looking to fight Mosley, but Shane's tooth hurt. Hatton asked for $13 million and nobody wanted to see him fight Spinks. All of those fights were bigger than Margarito. He went from trying to fight DLH, to Mosley (great fighter), Hatton (140 champ), to Spinks (154 champ), so I don't think you can say he was ducking anybody. When it came down to it, he chose to fight Baldomir (the WBC champ who beat the guy who was the undisputed champ) for $8 mil instead of Margarito (WBO champ who won a vacant title) for $8 mil.

His hand injury was the reason he wasn't fighting until at least October (ended up fighting Nov. 4) and he didn't fight Margarito because.... well, who the hell is he?
