    Nothing was etched in stone with Judah. Or Zab wouldn't have to take a pay cut.

    And what I bolded is just weird. Judah was a good opponent to face because...Floyd had experiencing facing quick southpaws? What does "good" mean?

      I bet HBO would rather have Baldomir who just fought on there network and beat a popular fighter in Gatti in his backyard over Margarito who just fought Manuel Gomez(cab driver)

        And...? One was far bigger. FAR bigger. Miss me with all that other stuff, man. The fact that Margarito - who, as you say, shouldn't be mentioned alongside the word "star" - was a bigger name than Baldomir says it all.

          When Margarito allegedly offered the $8mill to Mayweather he had: a loss and a draw against Daniel Santos, and a win over Kermit Cintron.

          Baldomir had Clottey, Judah, and Gatti in his resume, he was the WW Lineal Champ, he was bringing more millions to the table, and fans were accusing Floyd of ducking Baldomir.

            I'm saying Mitchell sort of helped prepare Mayweather for Judah; in that Mitchell was also a quick south paw. So Judah was a good opponent to face at the time.

              Really? So then why did they keep bringing Margarito's name up as an opponent for Floyd? Why did they even bring up Margarito's name as an opponent for Shane? Really, how do you know who they would rather have?

                You mean a good opponent for Floyd, right? Not the fans?

                  no it wasn't a ***** move.

                  More belts more money and lead to biggest fight in modern boxing. I would regret that.

                  Margarito = bigger JMM. And as we all saw size didn't win FMJ the fight over JMM, boxing did.

                  So who can explain why to fight Marg, or who themselves would EVER choose marg over bald? a damn ****** thats who.
