When Margarito first approached floyd about a fight, Floyd said, "later would be greater". I think Margarito has a pretty good argument that "later" is right about now.
I for one, still don't believe Floyd is truly retired. He's young, still in his prime, and he hasn't truly solidified his WW reign. His legacy prior to WW reign in my opinion is secure though but that's another arguement. A win over margarito would legitimize his WW tenure and easily put him in the top 20 of all time.
This fight could happen before or after Margarito's rematch with Paul Williams. But if Margarito avenges his loss against Paul Williams (which I'm not sure he can do, but that's another arguement too) then a fight would PBF would be HUGE!
I can see the build up right now... old WW king vs New WW king... the marketing for this fight would be easy.. Floyd would talk all this crap about never losing the title in the ring so he's still champ... Margo would say I'm the real WW champ cause i fought more top ranked WWs... I could go on and on.
A win for margarito puts him in the stratosphere with other mexican legends... a win for PBF legitimizes his WW reign and easily puts him in the top 20 greatest fighters of all time.
So, should Margarito start calling out floyd? (I know it's hard not to bash floyd here at NSB, but try. I'm trying to keep this thread a credible one - same thing for the Margo bashers).
