    Recipe for that HOF career

      Yeah, Cotto's face was never the same again as far as cutting. I'm glad Manny beat his eye out!

        Also beat Sergio Martinez, Cotto, and Clottey. All solid names. Fought Paul Williams when nobody wanted the smoke from him and won 4 rounds.
        He was rallying in the second half of the Cotto rematch until his injured eye from the Manny fight closed shut.

        He's not a nobody. Oscar knows who Margarito is. Everyone in 08 knows that the Pac fight Oscar made was cherrypicked. Instead of fighting Tony at that time. Floyd just didn't want to fight Margarito. Nothing wrong with that. Bad style for him.
        Was a lot more money and prestige to made with Manny, also Manny was on a huge attraction ride so Oscar looked at it from a number of angles, Margarito brought nothing to the table, as it turned Oscar should have took Margarito at 154 instead of Manny at 147 and he would have a good win replacing a bad loss.

          The tool of the desperate. Floyd was supposed to take a few losses here and there so people can't take it. Which means they have to turn it into he was ducking so and so or he was afraid of this guy or that.

          Even though we know Antonio was busted for illegal wraps, people still will be willing to side with a known cheater over Floyd.

            That was after the time when people were saying Floyd and Oscar ducked him so yea I'm right.
