All you heard from Floyd was 101 excuses for why he didnt want to fight Margarito AT ALL.
Not so much. One loss later, he still wasn't too eager to get in the ring with him and avenge his loss and get his title back.

Originally posted by deevel79 View PostThe offer was actually $4mil not 8. Secondly, from what im hearing, Margarito wanted an immediate rematch following the loss, and it was Williams who initially declined.
If they petitioned for it and if they wanted it so bad, it would've happeneed.

Floyd ducking Margs was worse. Margarito already fought Williams once as well as a bunch of other top welterweights. Floyd fought Baldomir who never did anything in the division except beat an unfocused Judah, then he fought Judah who just lost to Baldo. all this after he told Margarito he would meet him "down the road" yet never did.
Margarito SHOULD be wanting Williams right now. But he's tasken him on one more time than Floyd did him.

My Own Take:
I Don't Think Mayweather Was Too Out Of Line. The Man Is Rather Small To Contend With The Top, Full-size Welters Like Clottey, Margarito And Williams. He Had Other Lucrative Options, Like Actually Winning A Title From Baldomir, And Money-making Fights With Judah (who Was A Very Interesting Matchup At The Time And Proved To Be A Difficult Fight For Floyd In The Beginning), De La Hoya And Hatton (both Of The Latter Made Floyd Far More Than 8 Million).
On The Other Hand, Tony Already Lost To Williams And Has Incentive To Redeem Himself. He Claims To Be The Most Feared Man In Boxing, When Williams Clearly Is. He Turned Down The Paul Williams Fight To Fight A Man With No Title. Fighting Mosley Is Equivalent To Mayweather Fighting Judah In That Both Men Lost Their Last Title Fight And Have No Titles, Yet Remain Big Names. Even Still, Margarito Is Taking A 2 Million Dollar Paycut To Face Mosley And Those Numbers Are More Significant Then They Were Before Because Of How Tight The Cable Networks Are Now As Of The Recession.
Not Trying To Hate Here. I Rooted For Margarito Against Cotto And Was A Huge Fan, But I Have To Admit That I Have Been Turned Off By His Utter Avoidance Of Paul Williams.... Your Thoughts?!

Margarito ducking Williams cuz
1. Margarito hadn't beaten any1 worth **** at the time
2. Floyd fought Baldomir for $8 million. The same Margarito apparently offered
3. Margarito aint a draw. Not yet at least
Margarito took less money to fight Mosley. Floyd took the same amount to fight a different opponent.
