Floyd turned down $8million to fight margarito in 2006

[-EX-]

How could he have done that? Were they for sale?

Fight better fighters...if they wouldn't fight him then that's his problem...has nothing to do with Floyd...

[Easy-E]

Funny how when it's Zab's mandatory he HAS to fight him but the longest-reigning champ should've given up his title--even though that was the only card he held.

It was his linear belt mandatory you idiot.

I responded to your claim of Margarito's "run."
AKA garbage opposition.

Sure, kid.

So beating Margarito(who wasn't in the P4P rankings and still isn't) would have made Floyd the P4P the best in the sport?

nope...what i was trying to say is he....floyd.....floyd...tends to AVOID(To stay clear of; shun) the good fighters in his division. I'm askingand perhaps you can answer it. Why is he considered one of the p4p fighters in the world, even now after 2 yr absent....help me out buddy. Thanks

Right. When did I say it did? Don't try too hard, now.

He came back to fight Ricky Hatton at 147 after. Remember?? He knew the guys were going to come for him. Instead of risking that "0", he retired.

He thought people were going to miss him(only his stans) and go crazy over his PPVs/fights. That doesn't seem the case now does it?

People had been wanting to see those 2 fight for years...and he actually fought Oscar after Baldomir...

And Judah's was better cause he fought Spinks?? Baldy's wasn't that great either.

[M.I Truth ?]

I was referring to his whole title run. Margarito had already been champ for almost 5 years when Floyd came into the mix. FIVE YEARS. Ridiculous, right? Margarito has always been in the cold simply because no one wanted to fight him. It didn't make sense for Zab to fight Baldomir - he couldn't even sell out the Garden. But just like Arum is doing by putting his fighters together (and keeping Mosley out in the cold) was the same way Don King wouldn't DARE have one of his fighters (Judah, Mayorga, Spinks, etc) face Margarito. Simple.

Oh I agree 100%. I think Zab or any of the other belt holders should have fought Tony. Would have been great and would have put him on the big stage sooner. I only take issue with people who look back at the situation and say well Floyd fought Baldy and not Margarito who was better. I would have love to see Floyd fight Tony but people forget the Glen Johnson like run Baldy was on after he beat Zab and then Gatti(yeah I know) on television. Balmomir via his upset put himself in a good spot were as Tony who was the better fighter was still on the outside. The same way my boy Clottey has been. Like with Tony I hope that he breaks through and ends up headlining a PPV at some point.

Wow...what a "reign"

Keyvelos...Gomez(unranked)..Lujuan(3 year rookie)..

WOWEEEE..

That mofo was on a roll.

Floyd was a fool for choosing a chance to unify over a WBO crap strap....damn...he blew that once in a lifetime opportunity.

Yeah. He should've fought Cosme Rivera and Rafael Pineda.
