Margarito took the fight and lost and it still worked out for him besides the 1.5 million because his name is still in everybodys mind and many people aggree that the Margarito v. Williams fight was a very close fight that could have gone either way.
    It could have gone either way... if Margarito had started fighting earlier. He just gave too many rounds away, simple as that.

    Anyways, the WBO really did force him though... he waited until the end of the road for him to hold onto the belt.

    I didn't know that about the money though... Either way, it doesn't prove that Margarito is any braver, because he just took the more profitable option.

      I don't think Margarito every said he was the Most Feared. He has said he said they don't want to fight him.

      And i aggree with everything you said.

      Whats interesting is how Williams is fighting on the west coast. Does he not have a fan base in his hometown?

      Did Goosen belive the Puerto Rican wouldnt' show up to support Quintanna at the live event?

        Lol, even if every person in his hometown of AIKEN, SOUTH CAROLINA showed up, he wouldn't get ****. Even in a hostile environment, he would get more cash.

          The two, are easily the two most feared fighters in the WW division, as well as two of the most feared/respected fighters in boxing as a whole.

            It does prove he is braver. All you have to do is point to Mayweather and remember how Mayweather was offered the biggest payday of his career at the time(as in Margarito) and refused to take the fight. This from a fighter in Mayweather who had said,"if it makes money it makes sense" the same guy who calls himself "Money Mayweather" at the time turned down the biggest paycheck against Margarito. That, is not brave. What Margarito did was brave.

              Why is Aiken, South Carolina, a small city? I don't get what you are trying to say!

              Sounds like you aggree that most people wont go to see Williams fight.

                Mitchell - Tune-up for Judah.
                Judah - Probably more than $8 million if he hadn't lost.
                Baldomir - $8 million.

                Stop.

                  I'm from the US of A, and I've never heard of Aikenm South Carolina. It's probably really ****ing small. He needs to establish himself in either Las Vegas or NY to get a good fanbase. Or Atlantic City I guess.

                    Probably doesn't cut it, sorry. Baldomir 8 million, lol. Goosen helped promote his next fight which is why he got 8 mil. Sorry you lose.

                    In other words you dont' know what the hell you're talking about. Stop assuming when you don't know.

                      Also the Margarito Haters need to quit denying basic facts. How detatched from reality do you have to be, to not see how De La Hoya, Mayweather, Mosley and Vargas all ducked Margarito? He called all of them out, and he even moved up in weight seeking fights with them. Funny how two of them moved up to 160, 1 just flat out ducked him straight up and told him to his face, and the other fought 4 times in 3 years.
