    And Margarito maybe cudda got a fight if he wasn't beating cab drivers...and then when he stepped up he lost his title...
    Who wanted to see it? He was getting grilled for him taking that fight. The only people who wanted to see it was Floyd fans cuz they knew it was an easy fight to win.

    You can say all you want about Margarito but at WW he was better than Judah and Baldomir. And, Margarito was ranked in some point in time as the #1 WW in 2005, 2006, first 6 monhs of 2007, last 6 months of 2008,

      I do believe a lot of the **** he says is all smoke & mirrors and within a years time or so he'll have fought Pacquiao/Cotto winner & shane mosley.
      I probably would have written this post word for word.

          In 2006 Judah had a better resume than Margarito...

          And a good amount of people were still interested in Judah-Mayweather...

              All these fights happened between 05 and now,

              and Floyd hasn't fought a single one?


              Biggest sissy this decade.


              You're right, facts don't lie.

              Margarito v Shane 09
              (Floyd was retired)
              Margarito v Williams 07
              (Floyd JUST FINISH fighting De la hoya)
              Cotto v Shane 07
              (Fight happen and was sign after before Mayweather fought Hatton and after Mayweather sign to fight hatton)
              Cotto v Pac 09
              (WTF is your point on this)
              Cotto v Clottey 2009
              (floyd was retired)
              Clottey v Margarito
              (WTF R U SERIOUS)

              ONCE AGAIN
              Floyd spent 2 and a half active years in the WW division.
              and he became the not only the man in the division, but the Lineal champion.

              Became a welter November 2005.
              Became the offical welterweight champion in November 2006
              Became the Lineal Welterweight champion in November 2006

              Retired the Offical and Lineal Welterweight Champion in December 2007
              Just came back to boxing in September 2009

              Since then Nobody has became Lineal Champion.




              MEN LIE
              WOMEN LIE
              FACTS DONT.

                Just because he has the skills doesn't mean he has to do what he does,hes scared why doesn't he go all out?Robinson and Ali had more skills they still came to fight unlike mayweather.

                  Oscar always did.
                  Floyd's not the star that Oscar was, despite what he may say or think, and even then, it takes two to put up those really good PPV numbers.

                  Oscar fought guys like Sturm, Campas, Rivera, and Castillejo and wouldn't do over 400k. He'd fight Hopkins, Trinidad, and Mayweather and do a million, or in the Mayweather fight, over 2 mil. Mayweather sold in the 300s against the likes of Gatti, Baldomir, and Judah. If Mayweather looks outside of WW again for big names for big PPV numbers, there are no names.

                      And in 2006 Zab was clearly a bigger name than Margarito...and was viewed as a more interesting fight which is why it still happened...

                      What does Margarito do to pose a threat? Mosley and Williams outboxed him standing directly in front of him...

                      Margarito didn't deserve a fight with Floyd until he beat Cotto...
                      Being the longest reigning belt holder in the division that no other beltholder wanted to fight,

                      tells me he was quite deserving.

                      He lost to Paul,

                      well, you know what,

                      thats what happens when you face someone who can challenge you.

                      Same as Shane losing to Cotto, Paul losing to Quintana, Clottey losing to Margarito, etc etc.


                      Theres a reason why he retired just before the Tony Cotto fight,

                      he didn't want to face either one just as he now says he has no interest in the Cotto Pac winner.


                      Try again mija.
