    Why would floyd duck Margarito to go up to 154 and fight de la hoya?

    De La Hoya is bigger, stronger, faster, better fighter,

    What happened to margarito when he was at 154? oh yeah, he lost to rodney Jones and Daniel Santos.

    Now if Mayweather fought Margarito at that time, i dont belive he would have been a free agent, he may still have been contracted to Bob Arum, and of course, floyd didnt want that, he wanted the de la hoya fight, and de la hoya would never work with arum at the time.

    Which meant mayweather had to drop arum to get the de la hoya fight,

    Arum knew this, and offered mayweather 8 million, and we dont know what stipulations and options where connected to the 8 million offer, you think Arum is gonna offer mayweather 8 million to beat his fighter and then leave him?

    LOL. i dont think so.

    Arum made mayweather the offer because he knew mayweather was NOT gonna take it, which is why afterwards he said the 8 million was ONLY A ONE TIME OFFER FOR THAT MOMENT, not a permanent offer,

    In other words, mayweather could fight marg, beat him and take 8 million and jeporidize the de la hoya fight,

    OR

    forget Margarito be a free agent, make 8 million for fighting baldomir then make another 10 million guranteed plus PPV Sales for de la hoya,

    Which is exactly what floyd did.

    And thats why he didnt fight Margarito


    Everyone here knows that and would do the exact same thing if in Floyd's position. The need to be right is causing so many to say things that make little to no sense at all.

      He has made comments about Ray Leonard would not be a top 10 fighter in this era,and that he is the best boxer of all time. Prove it and fight the best fighters,
      I strongly agree with you on that one.

          Question.

          How old is DLH?

          And do you give the fight to a guy who ran like a chicken, threw 30 punches per round, and bear-hugged ala John RUiz over to the guy who punched a lot more, was more active, initiated the fight.

          Now you only need plain and basic common sense to answer that.

              Also, you're arguments are purely theoretical.

              The fact is, he insulted MArg yet couldn't live up to his word.

              Remember a guy who says **** yet can't back it up. What do guys on the street call him?

              A *****.

                DLH is 33, yet people are asking him to fight a 35 year old Mosley...

                  This why Mayweather gets NO respect from me. None.

                  He acts like a woman and hopes to convince the boxing public that Mosley is nothing more than a "sparring partner." He relies on words and the power of carefully selected words. Very manipulative...won't work on anyone with an I.Q. over 94. When is the public going to demand MORE from the supposed P4P champ??! When did the Boxing arena become a soap opera or a talk show?

                    That is your puny opinion.

                    The fact that you don't consider Mosley as elite end my argument with you.

                    I don't argue with chimps afterall.
