    And Margarito didn't deserve a fight with Floyd Mayweather...**** outta here
    I'm pretty sure the idea is that Floyd should have fought Tszyu prior to his loss to Hatton.

        He might fight Khan just to expose him, but I guarantee he fights Pac and Mosley in the future. Cotto will probobly happen as well.

        By the way love the avatar.

          Well that's just me...if Floyd wudda beat Margarito...I think ppl wudda sed so wat big deal...they would look at Margarito's resume and not be impressed...he'd be another meh name on Floyd's resume...

          Add in the fact Kosta's a Showtime fighter...when was he supposed to fight him?
          Floyd had a year window to fight him...Floyd had to earn his shot at at title at 140...was Kosta jus gonna give him a fight off the bat?

          Floyd didn't just get to fight Gatti off the bat for the WBC title...

          Kosta had the belt...but its Floyd's fault for not fighting him?

            Perhaps, but Kostya was breaking down badly with injuries and was very inactive in the years prior to the Hatton loss, it would have been hard to negotiate a fight with him.

              I'm not saying he should have fought him, or that he was at fault or whatever.

              All I was doing was pointing out that the comment you made was unfounded.

                  I gotcha...


                  Yea I know the triangle theory doesn't work...as in example with Cotto, Mosley, Margarito...

                  I jus don't like when people try to say Floyd ducked ANYONE who was in the division he was in during a certain time...

                    Some of these are legit and others are just reaching.

                      I understand. And had you have cited Kostya's injuries and inactivity, the fact that he was with another network, the timing issues, etc. as reason as to why they didn't fight, I wouldn't have even posted.
