      Did'nt Floyd fight that guy who beat Judah? Cotto fought a guy who got beat by Baldomir and Mayweather...Mayweather fought both of them. But ofcourse Mayweather is clearly ducking Margarito.

      If you want to hate on a fighter, hate on him in a way that can shut people up.

      Cotto fought a guy coming off 2 losses and a 1 year suspension yet I havent seen you talk **** about that Win yet you talk **** about Mayweathers win over Judah when Mayweather beat Judah and the guy who Judah lost too.
      \Baldimor, duh.

          So it should be easy to pull up a link.

          All you do is post facts backed with evidence, so let's see it.

          All I ever heard about was him saying that Margarito didn't bring enough money.

            What top welterweight did Cotto turn down TWO career paydays to fight,? only to talk trash about him and fight two guys coming off losses? Shot bay and Judah.

            dude you are so wack..your arument is plain dumb.

              well he got his chance against Williams to prove a point and his poor performance against Clottey too.

              So he did get ni the ring but didnt prove anything. He even didnt mention a re-match against Williams

                The reason Mayweather opted for the buyout rather than waiting for the May 6 result was because the contract had a limited window for the buyout, one that expired before the De La Hoya fight. However, Arum said he would have extended the window if Mayweather had asked. What Arum wouldn't do, he said, was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.

                Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

                Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

                "That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."

                Ellerbe said Mayweather opted for the buyout so he could be "more in control of when and who he fights next. It's as simple as that. There is nothing bad between Floyd and Bob
                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a quote from Bob Arum...Didnt Mayweather make more than what he wanted in both fights? Even though arum said the money isnt there..If i was Cotto i would leave Arum now..Promoters are pricks

                all of asudden your an expert wow

                  If you compare the styles of Mitchell and Judah, the answer is pretty ****ing obvious.

                  Judah - Southpaw
                  Mitchell - Southpaw
                  Judah - Slick counter-puncher
                  Mitchell - Slick counter-puncher
                  Judah - Fast hands
                  Mitchell - Fast hands

                  Could you imagine the amount of hate Floyd would of received for fighting Antonio Margarito (mind you, this was before the Margarito hype) instead of a pre Baldomir Judah? Late 2005, Early 2006, there was a consensus in the boxing public that Judah WAS the man to beat Floyd. He was supposedly faster, stronger and bigger with all the same skillsets, not to mention, a southpaw.

                  The rest is history.
                  And then he lost(but still got to fight floyd, lmao) sorry try again, back then floyd was all about the money, "if it makes dollars it makes sense" the rest is history.

                    Margerito is a bum...Yes sure he is a big Welterweight, because in all actuality he WAS a Jr middleweight then got his ass whipped repeatedly at that weght, and moved down to Welter. Has anyone ever heard of a fighter moving down in weight, so that they can be more competitive. Funny no one brings that up.

                    Also he did offer mayweather 8 mil..However mayweather at the time had fought Judah, and was being ridiculed for not fighting the champ who beat Judah..So what does he do,,he fights the man who earned the chance ot fight him n that ring. Baldomir....He also made 8mill for that fight, so I do not see what the point it about turning down the margerito fight hurt him any. I would be ****** for Maywethr to fight this bum who has had his chances, even at welteweight but he lost when he faced Williams. Plain and simple.

                    Moved down and sitll getting his ass whiped.
