Mayweather Legacy question: Would Margarito have been a better win than Baldomir

[Boss Don]

Cotto
Clottey
Cintron

ok.....but he cheated so what does that prove and Clottey was whoopin Margartito ass till he broke his hands so im not impressed

i mean what has Margarito ever done thats great?

And why to people want Floyd to prove himself against all these cheaters?

At the time, Baldomir was the Linnear Welterweight Champ. I think that Margarito was the more dangerous fight tbh, but Baldomir had the belt.

I don't think Margarito is great. He's a limited fighter that was good at coming forward and landing with power. His claim to fame has a shadow cast over it because of the plaster found in his gloves before the Mosley fight.

He is a 4 time WW champion though.

margo for sure.....baldomir aint ****....

[mazdaru]

do you clowns not realize why he didnt fight marg even thoough he offered to fight himbut arum didnt want to meet floyds demands...STFU already

if floyd would have fought marg instead of baldo. then yall would be saying he ducked and should have fought baldo. the lineal champ who beat judah

****in idiots, i swear... nothing but haters

It think Margarito should have got the fight ahead of Baldomir but with what happened between Arum And Mayweather at the time it made it easier to work with Baldomir's promoters than Margarito's.

At the time Baldomir was the Man who beat the Man and you have people like Brian Kenney saying stuff on ESPN that Mayweather should have fought Baldomir or Hatton instead of Judah, Am not really fuss that he didnt fight Margarito at that time but i think he should have fought Margarito and cotto after the Hatton fight or after the Margarito/Cotto fight (Winner).

Your right man but my thing is this guy got caught cheating and people still support him. Now if he would have knocked Mosley out that night everybody would have been talking about how great he is but he would have had to cheat to do it you know what im saying? And nobody would known so I just feel Margarito should be banned from boxing for life

Did Floyd make the right decision fighting the lineal champ Baldomir rather than fighting Margarito? What would have been better for his legacy. Think back to that time and the status that Baldo and Marg had.

Margarito was one of the most avoided fighters at that point and time, and it's no surprise Floyd turned him down, to face bladomir for the undisputed title, at WW. I've always said that Margarito was the tougher fight. He probably wouldn't have beat Floyd, but he would have pushed him to the limit, and gave the fans a much more exciting fight. Margarito's ablity to take a punch, as well as his willness to come forward an his over-all work rate would have put Floyds skills to the ultimate test. Especially considering Margarito has good stamina and will be there all the way to the end, that an his physical size as well as his undaunting will would have made it a very tough fight IMO. A much tougher fight then Bladmire, and a better win to boot.

[Schmerzen]

Ofcourse Baldo was ****.. he was the david diaz of the WW division.. and margarito was emerging that time maybe with the help of plaster who knows.

ahahahah
baldomir > clottey, how fast do pac fans forget ?!?!?!?!
