    um, you DID read the rest of it, right....? haha

      Yeah, it was basically agreeing with everything other than the first sentence... I was just saying it's awfully hard to say that any of the top 5 deserve a shot at him.

        He would have been a far worthier opponent than Carlos Baldomir.

          One thing that annoys me, is that people act like PBF was definatly getting that 8 mil. Does anyone actually believe Arum at this point...I think you are an idiot of you do, but thats just me.

            Nope, Nada, Negative. Prior to that, who were his last opponents before that?

                He's a better fighter... but accomplishment wise, they were pretty even.

                Margarito lost to Daniel Santos on a technical decision (which is a really ****ty way to lose).

                Baldomir was getting beat by Joshua Clottey (but Clottey got DQ'd for repeatedly leading with his head).

                To be honest, the Ring Belt and $2 million extra does talk. Why go for Margarito for less money and not even get The Ring belt?

                  Based on the fact that Margarito is better than Baldomir.

                      this is how i feel ........williams is to big for alot of fighters.........he needs to go to 154......i think he will end up like tony................avoieded...........fighters avoid good fighters when they see one......floyd would never fight him
