If Miguel Cotto was a GBP fighter....

[jrosales13]

Jro, Cotto was at 140, Margarito was just fighting a bum Gomez then an unknown Clottey at the end of the year. Who did the fans wanted to see Mayweather fight in 2006 if it was not the top 3 Welterweights Judah and Baldomir?

Harris from 140? Spinks who lost to Judah then moved up to 154?

Tell me who? Cause you're really looking biased right now, really biased.

First of all Margarito was the best WW at that time. Had the longest title reign at that time. Margarito had the best WW resume at that time more so anybody, was 5-0 against WW top 10. So stop with that whole act as if Margarito was a nobody. Maybe a nobody to YOU but not a nobody to hardcore fans.

Judah while thee champ of the division refuse to fight Marg. Judah who always was willing to fight the best straight out said he did not wanted to fight Margarito.

Lets go with time frames.

Before 06, Judah-Floyd was the fight that EVERYBODY wanted to see at WW. When Judah lost that fight lost interest in every way. They even try to sell it as a bogus title fight(Just like Pac-Margarito but without the catchweight) because Baldo didn't pay a sanctioning fee.

For the first half of 06 Baldomir fight was more of an interest than the Judah fight. People wanted to see that fight more then the Judah at that time for April of 06.

Margarito for the 2nd half of 06 was more interest and a fight that the fans wanted to see more so than the Baldomir fight AT THAT TIME of November of 06.

You can say I am looking bias all you want. I could careless cuz you looking the same to me with you bias ways against Marg and in favor of Floyd.

But, again you haven't refute anything that I have said.

You didnt think that Judah lose to Baldomir, that its a sure win for floyd? That Judad dont have a chance?

judah got hit with a punch that hurt him and he ran for most of the fight after that,judah didn't get beat up or outboxed he lost because after he got hurt he pretty much stop fighting and even then the fight was still very close

[Eaner0919]

every boxing journalist and their mum wanted cotto to face mayweather in 07-08

mayweather always said cotto had to become a bigger star

now hes just behind pac and floyd in drawing the biggest ppv numbers at 147-154

just no.

Floyd
Pac














































Cotto

that is not just behind

Maybe on the west coast but on the eastcoast no one knew who margo was yet everyone knew who baldomir was because everyone knows who zab judah was so how do you come to the conclusion that there was more interest in a margarito fight than for the baldomir fight?if you were not a hardcore boxing fan or a mexican you didn't know who margarito was and if you did know him you knew him as the guy floyd is supposedly scared of but most people watch the clottey margarito fight and said this is the guy that mayweather is supposed to be scared of?

It may come down to that. I found out who Margarito was when Viva Mexico (Old Poster) couldn't stop mentioning him. He would always say "Margarito has no regard for human life"

I miss that dude!

No, I saw it as Judah not being in the best condition/ overlooking Baldomir. At the end of the day Mayweather still faught and beat Baldomir.

Have you thought that both Judah and Baldomir is overrated? That their not the same level as they should be? At the end of the day Baldomir was just a level above journeyman.

[jrosales13]

Lol come on man really?

Morales had a record of 3 losses 1 win going into that last fight with Pac

Went onto Lose to freaking David diaz at LW and then retired for 3 years

It was an arguable lost to Diaz. And, Judah didn't beat anybody of note after Floyd either so what is your point?

Matter of fact if you look at Judah record at 147 is not all that impressive.

Like I said, it was just as legit.

[4773Y350NM3]

judah got hit with a punch that hurt him and he ran for most of the fight after that,judah didn't get beat up or outboxed he lost because after he got hurt he pretty much stop fighting and even then the fight was still very close

a win is a win, why you making excuses now?

[Eaner0919]

Dont you think the reason why Floyd doesnt like Arum because hes trying to make him fight Cotto or Margarito? lol

no not solely. Bob wanted him to fight the likes of Margarito and Cotto but their relationship soured long before this

Floyd wanted to be his own boss, paid his buyout clause, signed with Haymon to advise him, and moved on.

[Doctor_Tenma]

When Judah lost, that fight lost interest in every way.

Man, 375K PPV buys (If I remember correctly). Come on now...

Margarito had more of fan base than Baldomir, that is for damn sure. What was Baldomir fanbase exactly? It wasn't Judah fans.

I have no doubt in my mind that Floyd-Margarito would have done more PPV's than Floyd-Baldomir did.

Floyd-Marg would have broken 400k, Marg had a fanbase Baldomir had none.
