    I've heard of that offer before but didn't see any proof of the offer either...

      they'd have found another profession to be in.

      But they are indeed fighters and people expect the best to take on the best money issues or not.
      Find another profession??? Why because you or people like you say so? In case you didin't know there is a distinct difference between a fighter and a boxer. Too not be concerned about ones health and well being is to be reckless. Guys like that do not last long in the SPORT and usually leave with less than they came with. I agree with most of you on here that says Pac or Cotto for that matter are far more entertaining and will fight anyone. Floyd is a boxer and the last time I checked the sport was still named as such. Although I would prefer he fought better competition, I can understand his approach of picking his battles and making the most money possible.

        His best win is Cotto and that win is up in the air because he's a cheater.
        I didn't ask what Margarito has done........I asked what other fighters have done more than him @ WW?? I'm still waiting.

        FYI Margs was injured too on the Clottey fight, but I guess that doesn't count right??

          Nobody makes them become fighters.

          Like I said, if the concern for their health was that great,

          they would have found something else to do.

          However, they chose to be in the ring risking their health.
