        Bingo. This is the only legit reason for anybody to criticize Mr boat buyer.

          Gtfo, Cotto can only sell in MSG, Hatton can only sell in UK. Even then, they dont touch the level of Margarito's draw. Well, before the scandal occured. We will have to see what happens when he returns.
          U think Marg is the reason that sold out and u call someone else an idiot?

            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.
            It would've been nice if Floyd fought Margarito but I don't think it was too realistic. What pisses me off though is when these fights became feasible, he retired. Whatever, I'm not mad at him.

            However, to pretend as if Margarito fought garbage comp is ridiculous (not specifically pointing at u). He fought everyone no one wanted to fight because no one wanted to fight him! Cintron, Williams, Clottey, etc. He fought whoever he could.

              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.
              He called everyone out. But I guess you have to be 2 divisions lower for Floyd to hear.

                YES. Spinks was a better fighter and had the linear title. He was better than anyone else on Marg's resume.
                Baldy only had one fight with the title and it was against Gatti. He lost it to FLoyd next.

                  You said nothing relevant to my post. Consider the favor returned. No run along and dance over your so-called internet victory.

                    Spinks was unified and better than the trash Tony was fighting in WBO land.

                      He fought Oscar De La Hoya...what's wrong with that? Margarito had lost his title and was busy fighting Golden Johnson and Cintron who he had already beat before...
