    If Margarito was far bigger he wudda been headlining PPV's or fighting elite fighters...

    The guy's entire claim to fame was calling Floyd out...

      Sure they offered Floyd Antonio Margarito, but Floyd thought it would be better if he waited for something easy. When the call for Baldomir came Floyd said I'll take it. What a relieve that must have been.

          I bet that was before Baldomir jumped on the scene and knocked out Gatti...

            What in Margarito's game would give Floyd trouble?

              That's funny - he headlined a PPV where Shane Mosley was on the undercard. Tell me, how many PPV's did Baldomir headline before he fought Floyd?

                It was. And after too. Anything else? Or are you going to keep pretending you're the HBO rep that speaks on their behalf?

                  Maybe no one can give Floyd trouble, but we might never know. Floyd's quite frighten. Anyway to answer your question. Plaster of Paris?

                    That was well after the time period we're talkin about...

                    I don't recall Margarito headlining any PPV's before Cotto...unless it was some bs Top Rank PPV...

                      It was a ***** move for him to retire just when he beat Hatton and Cotto beat MOsley we where hoping for a Cotto-Mayweather Clash
