Shouldn't Margarito be calling out Floyd right now?

[Addition]

Marg is active, and just toppled the #1 ranked WW in the world. Why should he have to call out a retired fighter? If Floyd wants in, and is interestd in a fight with Margarito, it is he who would now have to do the calling out.

Floyd's in a position where he shouldn't or need to call out anyone.

BTW...Why is Margarito calling out Oscar? Using deevel's logic shouldn't it be the other way around?

Well actually, it was "Oscar" who stated that he wanted the winner of Cotto/Marg. So technically it was Oscar who called out Marg, but now changed his mind. Marg is only asking that Oscar make good on his word. Secondly, Oscar said he wanted 1 more fight before retireing for good. Therefore he isnt retired. Floyd on the other hand is.

Oscar was looking for Cotto to win that fight....not get ****ed up.

Are u saying that Floyd would've been interested in a more challenging fight with Cotto for say maybe $15mil+, rather than an easier fight with Oscar for the offered $35mil? LOL.....Dont think so!

Yep, I believe that despite this fecade that floyd shows about being all about money he really cares about being considered one of the best fighters of all time... He and his team just try to do it in the most opportune way... Cotto would equal money, fame, and legacy 3 birds one stone..
fighting DLH again wouldn't do anything for his legacy

I don't think he should call'm out, in fact, I don't think anyone should call him out or accept a fight with that piece of sh.... & force him to stay retired...

You're right. His plan backfired, and now he's pulling a Floyd.

Let's hope in his last fight he doesn't pull a Cotto.

First of all, beating Margarito solidifies PBF's spot in the top 50. Nothing more or less.

top 50 WWs?

Secondly, your last statement doesn't apply in every situation. Holyfield lost to Lennox Lewis and to Rid**** Bowe. Lennox is top 50 and Bowe is not. My point being is that multiple fighters can share a victory of a common opponent and be regarded historically in completely different manners.

The reason why Lennox is highly regarded is because of what he did throughout his career at HW, not because he beat holyfield. Floyd only had 4 fights at WW. Also, Margarito is no where close to Holyfield in terms of skill, ability, talent, resume, popularity, celebrity, etc... Taking those 2 points into account, how is floyd beating margarito going to make him a top 50 WW???
