Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: "If Mayweather Doesn't Fight Me, No Problem"

[decipher]

he could have but at that point in time baldomir was the better fight because baldomir had a lil buzz for beating zab.how would floyd had fought margarito anyway ?didn't he take about a year and a half off around that time

after the judah fight floyd was on sports center getting blasted cause he didnt fight baldomir by that kenny guy...then balmodir demolishes gotti (rip) and everybody starts saying that floyd is scared of him..

so who should he pic? marg or baldomir
baldomir was the champ/////////////marg was not
baldomir had 10 yrs without a loss
bladomir put up the same money that marg put up
floyd hates doing business with bob
marg had 4 loses much more recent then baldomirs loses

[comanick]

lol actually no

the great, great majority of the mags, sites, etc had marg above baldo

I am pretty sure the Ring had him at the top considering he held the Ring belt.

You are gonna have to show me some more credible rankings than theirs for me to go along with you.

Was he the most talented in the division? No, but by right he was the champ point blank.

Because Floyd fights for belts....or does he?

I'm just asking because it tends to gets confusing considering that Floyd himself stated that he doesn't fight for belts, which many of his supporters used in their arguments when he faced Mosley, yet turn around and love to use the "well he fought Baldomir because he had a title"...argument. Which argument are we going with today?

[IMDAZED]

where i'm from not a single person knew who margarito was but they knew who baldomir was because they knew who zab was so in ny baldomir was recognized margarito wasn't i can't say how it was in other states except for ny and florida but in those 2 states no one knew who margarito was

Yeah right. Cuz Baldomir-Judah was such a big fight . So big, they put it in the theatre at the Garden. . So big, there was no betting line. Margarito had a fan base out on the West Coast and a solid, capable promoter in Arum. Baldomir had nothing.

[comanick]

Actually, they didn't. And it was disgraceful.

Yeah I was pretty sure he was and I get what your saying too and i agree. But by right he was the champ. He beat the man and by right that made him the man. WAs he better than Marg? IDK because to me Marg was , is and will always be mediocore and so was baldomir. They may honestly be on the same level talent wise.

Baldomir couldn't sniff a prime Margarito's jock strap. Remember Zab Judah flat out said back then, "I don't want to fight Margarito."

[HARLEM AL]

Baldie was a nobody until he beat zab. He then became champion. Marg was a even bigger nobody. Bob arum pump that garbage azz dude up. Marg didn't beat nobody worth mentioning.

[wizard king]

He has agreed to testing until 14 days which is what floyd wanted,
remember you get tested right after the fight so what can manny take on the first day of the 14 day window that will give him an advantage? knowing he has to be tested on fight day, according to people on here it takes days to get drugs out, so in reality he has like 8 days to take these supposed drugs lol

remember for floyd this offer was the same on march 13th which HE wanted, it has only been a few months later since march

why do morons keep saying what is in bold, last time i heard floyd wanted no cut off day so pac didt meet floyd demand, atleast get your dam facts straight morons

Maragarito had been a top ranked WW for years. A feat Baldo never threatened to accomplish.

[RL_GMA]

If youre not pretending that just makes it worse. Bob Arum said he was never offered 14 days. And then after statements by GBP and the mediator (after the fact), he recanted.

What's today's lesson? Don't believe Arum until you hear from both sides. This is common sense - No pretending needed.

So, in Arum’s admittedly jaundiced view, the leaking by Golden Boy that it finally asked for only a 14 day before preflight test is a convenient canard.

““It’s true, it’s true,” Arum said. “But they knew full well that we would not go for that. I think the real mistake was mine in not saying, “Sign the bout contract, then take your test requirements to the athletic commission.’ I should have said that and, if he signed the contract, I could’ve said go the commission and don’t bother me with this bullspit.”.”

Do we have an official date when May vs Pac was officially canceled the 1st time? I know it was still on going until at latest mid Jan.
