Quintana was a career WW, undefeated , prime and he and Cotto had a title fight and Collazo was a title holder, are you kiddin me?

So you fault Mayweather and accuse him of ducking Margarito because he didn't make him his very 1st opponent at welterweight? The problem with hating is that it's usually not based on reality or logic.

ducked him TWICE and his excuses were that he had 4 losses...even tho he was ranked #1 at WW... FOR A WHILE...

please...you need a reality check..

yes, Bob Arum was promoting Marg and Floyd at the time. he tried to make the fight and Floyd didnt want to fight Margo.....he later left Arum......there was an article from way back then when this was going on...you werent watching boxing..

Ok I wasn't watching boxing

You sure he was trying to make May-Margarito?

From what I remember the whole focus was to prep a fight between him and Zab Judah...in the mean time Margarito was fighting cab drivers...

I didn't even hear Margarito's name until after Floyd beat Judah...

which is why he will give floyd a good fight better than others have but he will take a lot of punches because he throws a lot of punches and takes risks. it is the type of fight floyd would like a guy throwing a lot at him, a lot of opportunities to get countered.

remember floyd has one of the best straight right hands in the business, morales and marquez caught pacquiao with a lot of straight right hands, but floyd has the best one in the business its his money punch.

Quite right. Agreed on point.

Although Floyd wants a typical opponent that'll come forward to engage and he'll counter alongside and has been always successful at that, no one in Floyd's resume strings flurries of punches (and all power shots) like Pac. It'll be interesting to see Floyd countering 4-5 combos in less than 2secs...

What did Pacquiao do at 135? Garbage...

You forgot that I pointed out it was SUPPOSED to be an easy fight...

Floyd cleaned out 130 & 135, and fought champions at 140 and 147...

I actually was watching boxing back then...and you don't have any proof, articles, or sources that he turned down Margarito for Sharmba...

You said he made 3-4 million for the Sharmba fight...was Margarito making him an offer during that time?

Sharmba was Floyd's first fight at 147. At the time he was focusing his attention on Zab Judah. That was around the same time that Margarito fought a nobody named Manuel Gomez right after he beat Kermit Cintron and was trying to avoid a fight with Paul Williams. No one knew or cared about Margarito at the time.

You're just hating man. Accusing Mayweather of ducking Margarito because he didn't make him his 1st opponent at WW is laughable. I've already explained Mayweather's point of view in deciding to fight Baldomir instead of Margarito. Any reasonable person would understand that decision. Seriously, you seem to have a personal problem with Mayweather and that's pathetic because you don't know the man.

Exactly what I'm emphasizing...Bob Arum and Don King came together to make Mayweather-Judah which was supposed to be a superfight, if Zab didn't lose to Baldomir...
