Did Margarito "Deserve" a Fight With Mayweather in 2006?

[Fox McCloud]

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

I guess that's why everyone calls out the #1 P4P fighter after every fight.

Floyd signs to fight Zab while Zab is undisputed welterweight champ and 2 divisions beltholder.

Floyd signs to fight Baldo while Baldo is undisputed welterweight champ.

Floyd signs to fight Oscar while Oscar is jr. middleweight beltholder, the biggest draw in boxing, 6 division beltholder, 3 division undisputed champion.

These are the opponents that Floyd fought while Tony called him out.

What is Tony claim to a fight with Floyd? A WBO vacant belt he won fighting a nobody and defended against nobodies*. Compare with the above and shut up forever. Tony made his name by calling out Floyd.

I'm not sure why he had any more claim to a match with Mayweather than Baldomir... both hadn't lost in forever... both were welterweight champions. Floyd got 10 million for his win over Baldomir, which is 2 million more than Margarito. He also was fighting for The Ring championship (the only real championship). If Mayweather had beaten Margarito, I'm sure people would call Floyd a ****ing chicken for not fighting Baldomir.

I remeber when Floyd was fighting Zab many people said he should be fighting Baldomir because he is the undispute champion and not Judah. even there was a interview with Floyd and he got upset by the interviewer on ESPN saying he should be fighting Baldomir all of the sudden when he started fightign Baldy and the realtionship with Arum was going down Arum said that Floyd is ducking his boy Toney.

anyway Baldomir had the WBC belt which I think Floyd look very highly up on it. He like to collect the WBC, so when he fought Oscar it was hit two bird in one stone he got 5 WBC belts from 5 division.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing De La Hoya match up against Margarito. If De La Hoya is going to continue fighting, in order to keep my interest he needs to fight more than once a year. Just twice a year is all I'm asking for, three times would be nice, but I don't expect it. If he fights just once next year on Cinco De Mayo, sorry but I'm not interested.

Margarito would be a very exciting fight, and all the other top guys in the division except for Williams are matched up against someone right now. That would be a FOTY candidate actually.

Paul Williams deserves the fight with De La Hoya more than Margarito, but Margarito is still deserving of a big fight, and nobody is going to fight Williams.

I don't know what the hell Paul Williams is going to do. Fight 6'2" southpaw with great handspeed and boxing skills for comparatively low money? Anyone want this fight? It has been suggested he move up to 154, but there isn't any significant fights at 154.

The only top welterweight who might have the guts to fight Williams is Shane Mosely. Mosely is tied up against Cotto, and then probably against Mayweather if he wins which I think he will.

I know Mosely would fight Williams because he fought both Wright and Forrest against common sense bu the did it because they were the top guys. He then took immediate rematches in both cases for pride when he probably shouldn't have. If you guys haven't figured it out I'm a big Shane fan.

Any case this has been a very long post which has gone off the topic of the thread, hope you enjoyed my opinions though.

No because Margarito had beaten Mexican cab drivers and insurance salesmen(outside of Cintron). I'm speaking before the Clottey fight.

Well the Zab fight was already in the works I thought when Zab lost to Baldomir... I thought it was basically a tune up fight for him. He figured he would go ahead and win the IBF belt and get a moderately good payday I guess. Plus he really wanted to get punched in the balls.

been in BS for long enough to know there is alway people say Floyd is ducking someone.

anyway boxing is a game with couple of fights per year and when you are good enough and top of the chain it just one or two fight per year.

you could check many record os other HOFers and you would know that

floyd cannot accomodate all the fights that should be done doesnt mean he's ducking someone.

margarito is a joke and he just lost his chance against floyd.
