      Floyd ducked Margarito ,and Dawson is bich he will fight old Tarver again who aint ****.
      Arum offered the Margarito fight to Floyd when Oscar and Floyd were about to sit down and discuss the contract. Floyd and Oscar were already in oral talks according to some sources and then comes Bobby A. with the money talk. Margarito can't sell the fight based on his numbers so Arum would have to rely on Mayweather (who wasn't his fighter). Floyd made 3x the amount when he fought Oscar.

          I think he is suggesting because Rocky fought past prime fighters that were mainly Light-Heavyweights and then retired around 32/33 all of a sudden.

          That's my guess.

          Plus, there were fishy stories about his career.

            When Floyd was asked why he duck Margarito,he said that he doesnt fight to prove to boxing fans who the best is.Go to YOUTUBE.com and see how Floyd is nervous about Margarito question.

              Why does he need to prove he is the best when he was P4P best. He was the best.

              If Mayweather did duck like you claimed.

              Simple who has a better resume Mayweather or Calzaghe?? Who fought more P4P fighters and prime fighters

                well, he got few notable wins, joe louis(37, i give him credit for that no doubt, the guys back then seemed to be able to go for ages) and archie moore(42)
                he's kinda like calzaghe aint he?

                  Marciano imo is one of the more overrated fighters of all time. He did fight what was out there but doesn't mean we have to classify him as a great fighter. If someone dominates a division that has less than great fighters doesnt mean that fighter is all of sudden amazing. Marciano fought a ton of fighters that were leaving the sport and then got out after he made his money. Sounds a little like another Italian undefeated fighter in the present day. Both solid fighters but to use the excuse that Rocky could only fight who was out there is a cop out imo and doesn't justify him being a great fighter.

                      The MOB but I wouldn't hold it against Rocky. The MOB was doing fishy things in boxing since the 1800s.
