Margarito. Here's why!

http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=185910


I have heard from countless Floyd fans that the reason Floyd fought Baldomir instead of Margarito, was because Baldomir was the Undisputed/Linear WW Champ, and had more to offer than Margarito did. Me personally, i doubt that was the "real" reason. This is why:

When Arum made Floyd the $8mil offer to fight Margarito, Floyd had yet to secure an opponent for his Nov 4th ppv date. He then went desperately scrambling for an opponent, when all along, Margarito was the only one willing to step in the ring with him. Not to mention, Margo was the #1 ranked WW at the time. Floyd went looking for fights with Shane (even though Shane had already stated that he will be taking the rest of the year off). He tried to get Oscar in the ring, but Oscar was in retirement mode at the time. He even went as low as to try to secure a fight with Cory Spinks! (Thank god that idea got shut down). Floyd ONLY choices were Margarito, or Baldomir (given Baldo beat Gatti). Floyd crossed his fingers, and prayed to the gods in hope of a Baldomir win. So my question is, if all along he had the option of fighting the #1 ranked WW for a career high payday, why wait, gamble, and risk losing out, in hopes that Baldomir beats Gatti? What would Floyd have done if Gatti won? There is no way on earth Gatti's people or HBO would've let that happen again, so what would Floyd have done? An even better question is, If Floyd's intentions were to go after Baldomir's titles/belts, why was Baldomir Floyd's last choice??? If you're after the WW champ, why do u go looking for fights with guys like Spinks and Shane? Floydboyz will argue that Floyd chose Baldomir over Margarito because Baldomir had the titles. Why wasnt Baldomir Floyd's first option then?????

These are all lies lol. You don't even have your facts straight lol. You are a Cotto fan. Your man lost. How could you possibly be commenting on Floyd or Margarito. You should be telling us Cotto will be back. Cotto can't beat anyone he isn't stronger than.

Cotto quit in the last round

Floyd hid in the bushes whenever he heard Marg was in town.

This is a lie lol. You don't even have your facts straight lol.

Point out the lie.

[TCN® SOULJAH]

Cotto had the heart to fight a man that Floyd avoided like the plague.

Hahaha.


Because Margarito's name was enough to generate that $8 million purse?

Because Honest Bob said so?

And because Antonio Margarito was all along the consensus view of best welterweight and not a journeyman or worst?



Floyd had better options on the horizon.


Being a businessman is a good thing according to you.

Remember?

One is proven the other is not :P

[Boofdatruth]

I thought DLH lost too, but you know what puts him above Floyd?




He didn't make any excuses to not make the fight.

He just did it.

So why isn't Margs fighting Williams? We all saw what Williams had to say lol. Why not fight Williams after Williams challenged him?

Remember?

If the $8mil offer wasnt genuine, why hasnt Floyd ever came out and said so? His name till this day gets dragged through the mud whenever they bring up the fact that Floyd turned down a career high payday to face Margarito. Surely someone with an ego like Floyd would want to set the record straight. No? On top of that, if the offer wasnt legit, then why go out of your way to put emphasis on the fact that u are making $1 more to fight Baldomir?

Crying? Im not Floyd!

It was a good scrap, and the best man one. Props to Marg. Unlike u, im a fan of the sport, and a fan of good matchups, before im a fan of 1 man.
