Arum: "Now We Know Why Floyd Avoided Margarito"

[machotime]

Cotto's style would fair better against FMJ than Margs style.

Arum cannot get floyd out of his head lol


hes so mad floyd made all that money after he left him

[VIVA MEXICO!!]

Bob Arum of Top Rank may have been the second-biggest winner on Saturday night. He holds the promotional rights to the newly crowned WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito, and he is still the promoter of record for Miguel Cotto. Coming into the fight on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Arum stood in a situation where he couldn't lose because regardless of the winner - he had both guys. [details]

plain and basic common sense.

First all...cong**** to Cotto...he fought his heart out....Now on to business....


After watching last night, there is not a doubt in my mind that Floyd would beat Margo and do soundly.

We all know that boxers will give Margo trouble but the difference between Floyd and Cotto is that DEFENSE..half that **** Margo was throwing won't even land on Floyd and he will be countered all night.


Floyd would Baldomir him and Margo overwhelming Floyd won't happen because he won't tire. Clottey was able to last with Margo because he has better D than Cotto.

***********************************************

exactly right......floyd is top 3 defensively in the game (winky and hopkins), but i think even bigger than that, in the case of a fight w/ margo, floyd wont gas out like cotto did..........

[Scott9945]

Floyd told Margarito that the fight will be, "Greater later."

Later is now....we'll see what happens.

Very concise and accurate comment.

[Ray*]

lets see if arum takes care of his new star like he took care of cotto

Exactly I want to see if Arum actually start paying more attention to Margarito.

Well Floyd run from Baldy who can't punch as is 20 more skillless than Tony, imagine what kind of **** he'll be pulling against Tony with Cortez in his corner.

You actually believe Baldomir is 20 times LESS skilled than Margarito??? LOL

[Mr. Philadel]

Arum is a Floydaholic......somebody find that old ass man a cure! Every ****in' time somebody puts a mic in front of him...he mentions Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[WHB3]

Arum is quoted as saying this PPV was tracking 50% better than Cotto/Mosley.

I tell ya, if this PPV did more than 400,000, Mayweather fans have no reason to ever talk again. That's more buys than Floyd ever did without the backing of a 24/7.

Every single option there sounded great except for the mandatory defense part!!....They had to sneak that in there didnt they.....My own personal opinion I think he should go straight for the Paul Williams rematch. Beat the man who beat you, then give Cotto his rematch. DEFINITELY NOT A GARBAGE MANDATORY PLEASE!!
