    No, Floyd loves money - Margarito had the WBO title at the time too...

    Floyd fought the easiest opponent with a title: Baldomir, FOR HALF THE MONEY. His fear of Margarito was stronger than his love of money.

      Margarito should also be fighting at 160, oh wait he won’t. Mayweather fought 4 weight classes above his natural. It would be like Margarito fighting at LHW against Hopkins or RJJ.
      No, Mayweather used to fight several weight classes BELOW his natural weight, because he liked having the height and REACH ADVANTAGE over his opponents!

        When was this, fool. Margarito had a size advantage over Cotto Clottey and those were his best wins. He fought at 154 and what happened to him. Margarito had height over all his WW wins but when he was the smaller man he lost. HAHAHAHAA

          Margarito - WBO, $8 million.
          Baldomir - Ring, WBC, $8 million.

          Hmm. Where is this half the money source sugar?

          Uhhh, yeah, that makes sense.

          Every other fighter fights at their walking around weight. That is why WW is Mayweather's natural weight.

          OR WAIT! Everyone gains weight overnight after the weigh-in, so according to you, EVERYONE fights several weight classes BELOW their natural weight, because they like having the height and REACH ADVANTAGE over their opponents!

            Floyd had a reach advantage over ALL HIS OPPONENTS at 130 to 140.

            And some at 147 too - his arms are 26", Hatton's are 20"...

            Floyd never fought anyone his own size, except for two boxers who were PAST PRIME.

              Margaritos Reach 73
              Cotto Reach 67
              Mayweather Reach 72
              Hatton Reach 65


              Mayweather has a 7 reach advantage over Hatton, Margarito had 6 reach advantage over Cotto and plus his size was way more than Mayweather even had over Hatton. Mayweather started at a lower weight than Hatton and it was his second fight.

                Is it Mayweather fault that he has a long reach, shame on you Mayweather fot having a long reach it’s a disadvantage for opponents and you gain an advantage. Many boxer win fights when they have a short reach it shouldn’t be an excuse

                  Where is your source for the $8 million for Baldomir? I've read from several sources it was $4 million.

                  Your logic is ****. You've never boxed yourself, or else you'd understand how important having a reach advantage is!

                  Go get a photo of Floyd and jerk off...

                    So reach is what determines natural weight? That's astounding. I figured natural weight would have something to do with weight.

                      This is coming from a Wlad fan He has a height and reach advantage over most of his opponents.That is why he looked so bad against Thompson.He fought someone his own size!
