Originally posted by El Jesus View PostI fully understand why margarito isnt fighting williams, it has everything to do with maximizing your cash, which i fully support him doing, the problem isnt about resumes or any other ****, its the fact that this guy BEAT HIM, and hes asking for a rematch or pracitcally begging. Now the arguments about whos worth more, who beat who, who is on whos resume, is alot like how the floyd/margarito arguments ruined this board for a whole year. Now the tables are turned and its the margarito contingent doing the same thing, with the exact same justifications. Personally, i dont care about paul williams, hes not my kind of fighter and neither is margarito. But the arguments about self worth, resumes, money percentages and de la hoya fights are exactly what margarito fans whined of years ago. That margarito wasnt the kind of fighter who cares about those things, posters like hendrixlove and ferocity argued from the opposite spectrum for YEARS, and now the tables have turned and margarito is just as buisness minded as anyone else, which i dont have a problem with.
I just find it great that now margarito knows how it feels to have to pick and choose, now he knows everyone wants a piece of him, and just like mayweather jr, he is intelligently weighing his options, risk vs reward.
The thing is, we didint think margarito was this kind of fighter as he was sold to us, hes just like everyone else, which is ok to me, but still hypocritical from some of the posters who i know for a FACT despised all of this back in late 05/06 when the arguments and tables were turned, which to me, shows that people stances on issues change with whomever someone is a fan of, not because they actually believe it.
Tony fought, Floyd retired instead.

Bad Argument
[QUOTE=El Jesus;4388923] Now the tables are turned and its the margarito contingent doing the same thing, with the exact same justifications. RESPONSE- You leave out a big piece in your argument, Margarito already fought Williams when he didn't have to. Floyd Jr. never gave Margarito a shot. Your argument is very bad my friend. Williams fight is very risky, but you will see the Williams vs. Margarito rematch in the future. Till then make a better argument buddy.

Man up ?
Ok, so Margarito won't fight Paul. there are a lot of guys who have the good since not to fight guys that might be dangerous. cotto should have never gave Margarito a shot but he did, even though he didnt need to. guys like paul and Margrito who are that big and hide themselves at 147 dont realy warrant any chances. Let them do what paul is doing right now and go up in weight and watch the fights open up. both Paul and Margrito should be middle weights anyway if they had real heart.(the nights they show up to fight they are at 160 any way)

Williams won a twelve round decision over Margarito last year to win the WBO's version of the 147-pound title. Margarito's promoter Bob Arum turned down a $4 million dollar offer for a rematch with Williams. Margarito will face Shane Mosley on January 24 and then take part in a rematch with Miguel Cotto in June. [details]

Williams has so much reach that a billion dollar corporation like Yahoo just created a rejection letter because they have something against Margarito. There would have been a lawsuit filed already.
