I'm not saying Margarito would have won that fight but we will never know and thats the problem. The problem I had on Floyds end is don't say 8 million isn't enough money and turn around and fight Baldomir for the same amount of money.

        Yes baldomir had the more prestigious title, but that was a way of justifying taking the less risky fight. Baldomir had 9 losses, wethere early in his career or not, it's still 9 losses yet some Floyd fans (not saying you) will turn around and discredit Pacquiao for a couple early losses yet call Baldomir a good win for 9 early losses.

        Baldomir beat a mentally weak Zab Judah that has never showed up in any big fight. Tsyzu,Baldomir,Floyd are just a couple examples. Does Zab have talent? yes but all the talent in the world means nothing if you can't mentally put it together. So Floyd fights Zab coming off the Baldomir loss( a fight Zab should have never gotten under those circumstances) when there was a Cotto and Margarito sitting there the public was screaming for.

        This is the problem a lot of people have with Floyd being that he always seems to take the less risky route and not fully testing himself, than turning around and calling himself the greates. He retired during a time when the Pacquiao,Margarito, and Cotto were all fighting each othe in there primes.

        People also look the last time you had similar talent at welter to jr middle when Oscar was fighting Quartey,Trinidad,and Mosley in his prime. Moving up and fighting B-Hop at middleweight.

        Quartey fought Vargas and Oscar in there primes.

        Vargas fought Trinidad,Oscar,Quartey,and Mosley in there primes.

        Trinidad was fighting Oscar,Vargas, moving up fighting B-Hop( I was not a Trinidad fan at all)

        Mosley fought Oscar twice,Vargas twice(granted the second time Vargas was already past his best), Winky Wright twice,Vernon Forrest twice.

        You see the trend? People wanna know why Floyd with all his talent has refused to do the same and take thee route less risky. He very well may have beaten Mosley in his prime,Cotto,and Margarito, and mabe Pac, but with the exception of Pac to this point we will never know with the others, and thats the problem.
        Im not a Floyd hater it's just the truth
        Alright so can you articulate why Margarito was the more risky fight? even though he had accomplished less and had just loss to daniel Santos. and by the way at the time there was just as much demand for floyd to fight Baldomir as there was for floyd to fight margarito.

                I definitely see them as greater duckers because they are avoiding fights that would be potentially the biggest fights of their careers while the "ducking" fights of floyd would have had little effect in the grand scheme of his career. Unless of course you count Pac but that chapter hasn't finished yet so we shall see. If the pac mayweather fight doesn't happen before pac loses or retires I will eat my words and title floyd as one of the bigger duckers in the history of boxing.

                    Could you at least wait until AFTER mid July when we know whether he accepted, and what was on the contract to make threads like this?
