Sounds like the excuse of the year

Sounds like facts. You can verify that on google in case you didn’t know.

Get real

It's not a fact that Floyd automatically beats Margarito because Mosley Cotto and Manny did.

He actually could have fought him first but was too scared

It has been less than 5 years and Saudi Arabia soccer league is now the highest paying league on the planet. Same thing with boxing.
Women are now driving, beach resorts and high end properties are being built and the biggest golf event is now in Saudi as well.

It’s just a matter of time before it turns into Dubai so I would’ve sat “they won’t ever”.

Dubai isn't drawing flies compared to Vegas, but I hear what you are saying. They are trying to be like Vegas minus the drinking and ******** and night life and accessibility. They are spending like drunken sailors on everything under the sun. which is alright with me, but it will never be a tourist trap.

CONTEXT! CONTEXT! CONTEXT!!!!!

Spadafora was in camp for a fight. Floyd was not and was not in shape. But but but .., if Spadafora did beat Floyd, what happened to him and his career?
Margarito got destroyed by Mosley and after that, Mosley got beat up like a pińata by Floyd. Two, Margarito had loaded wraps that’s why he beat guys up.
Saying Floyd ducked Thurman is like saying PAC ducked Danny Garcia. Did he?

-- Floyd loves to brag and say he's always in shape. He's known for staying fit year round, and for his work ethic. So when Spadafora touched him up, all of a sudden he was outta shape? And what happened to Spadafora's career was drugs. Nobody really beat him in the ring, and that includes Floyd. He beat himself...
-- No matter who beat Margarito, Floyd didn't wanna face him. When Floyd wanted a fight, it got made. He fought guys like Henry Bruseles and.Carlos Baldomir, but couldn't face Margarito? B4 he was known to load his gloves, Floyd was already ducking him. He pulled up on Floyd and Floyd lips got chapped and his mouth got dry. He showed Margarito his belly and gave a fake smile. He was visibly nervous. I saw Floyd once at a Margarito fight. He was in the audience saying, "that's easy work", in reference to Margarito. Months later in an interview someone asked him about fighting Margarito, and Floyd said, "Margarito? I don't even know who he is". LIAR!!! He knew who he was when he was saying he'd be easy work, but then he publicly lied and said he didn't know who he was. That's punk sh...t. I can never imagine a guy like James Toney saying he didn't know who someone was, when he really did. He never avoided nobody like that.
-- Floyd did duck Thurman. He didn't face him. He fought Andre Berto, a good man, but basically a 140 lbs past his prime guy. He didn't face Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman, Amir Khan, Kell Brook, Joshua Clottey, Paul Williams, Margarito, etc-- all of whom were active in his weight at the same time at some point. He did fight Robert Guerrero, a shop worn past his prime guy. He knew who to face and when to face them. He was one of them kinda dudes, a very careful picker, not a James Toney type where he wants it with any and everybody at or near his weight. He's definitely not one of them

Cotto, Pacquiao and Mosley whoope'd Anfonio Margacheato's ass and Mayweather jr beat all of them.

Relax. Margarito beat the pink crocs off of Cotto. And Cotto did damage to Floyd's face, had him leaking from his nose and mouth mainly with the jab. Shane had Floyd but wasn't able to finish him. A younger Shane, different story. Floyd fenced with Pac man. That wasn't boxing that was fencing. Peck peck peck dance, clinch, peck peck, peck

You have a case for all the guys you listed but when you put A Mere Con on that list, I start doubting your intentions. Khan was garbage and had done diddly squat to get a fight with Floyd.
As to Margarito, I know the video you speak of. Margarito even claimed he offered Floyd $8 million to fight him.
Let’s unpack that BS - Margarito was promoted by Bob the scumbag. Floyd was being underpaid by Bob as was everyone that left Top Rank starting with Oscar, Cotto, Mikey Garcia. Bud and even PAC who got sued and had to stay. Floyd made it clear he was never going to give Bob a paycheck. If anything, Floyd is the one who could have offered Margarito the $8 million.

Now, riddle me this, let’s say Floyd did do that and Bob stepped aside, and Margarito with his loaded gloves hurts and damages Floyd, then what? Cotto was winning that fight but the damage was just too much so Margarito can eat a bag of hyena dǐckss and I truly hope he gets hit by a bus.

How is it that you only remember those two punches that Mosley landed in a 12 round fight? Shouldn’t that be a testament to Floyd’s defensive genius? Unless, you just don’t like Floyd.

Also, a young Mosley got beat easy by Winky and Forrest. An “in his prime” Manny got vaporized by Marquez.
Cotto was a great fight for Floyd but he lost. Isn’t that what boxing is about.

The fact you are still bitter about that fight not coming off while you know Margarito is a cheat just means you don’t like Floyd. Floyd could have fought that POS and beat him up, you still would have had something negative to say.

[PunchyPotorff]

Actually it's par for the course with floydie. He waited til Mosely and Pacman were old, never fought Margarito.
And now he's just a biz man soaking fans for their cashish. Nothing really has changed.
