    I know the Cotto fight is a little more complicated, but the Margarito fight was definitely there to be made.

      Your Daddy is not even an active fighter right now, so why you still mad at him?
      BTW, all fighters have a "Guys they shoulda fought, but did'nt" list....

        At the time, Floyd was fighting for attention, belts and money.
        Marg at the time could not offer any of that, if so what?

        1. He had no belt.
        2. Who was he at the time, Baldiu had just beaten Zab. So more people knew of Baldi from beating Zab, than people who even knew who Margs was at the time.
        3. The money was there on both ends, but what came with more perks?

        You have to had been a fan of the entire sport to really understand what was going on dude.. that's why it gets annoying when guys who have only been following boxing for a few years say this kinda shyt.

        Speak on what you know, rather than what you've been convinced of by a hater....
        If you only know one aspect of the sport, speak only on that. If it's the last 2/3 years, stick to only that.

          It's also a shame Floyd is such a pu$$y-biatch retiree.

            Mayweather is a ****ing joke. His fans defend him more han he does himself. Hopefully he will slip and fall off of the deck of his yacht and into the sea. And we all know black people can't swim...

                As was Floyd for the better part of his career. Isn't everyone always complaining about their in-house fights? That's interesting.

                  floyd was #1 p4p what was margarito?who did margarito beat? the only fight that probably should have been made was the cotto fight, margarito had done nothing to deserve a fight with the best boxer in the world he never even beat the best in his division

                      So the longest reigning title holder at the time didn't have a belt?

                      Were you even watching boxing back then? Or did you start following boxing after Floyd vs the big show?
