guys floyd should've fought but didn't....

[jrosales13]

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

[cleaner147]

not saying it would've beaten floyd, but

Floyd was supposed to fight a giraffe.

[letsgobrady]

beating andrew lewis was such a great win especially after mayorga had already done it a year earlier oh and not to mention that he had also just lost to santos then looked like **** against clottey and then he loses to paul williams,only jrosales thinks thats a resume that gets you a fight with the best fighter

[Animal Squabbs]

wtf? Mitchell? Sharmba Mitchell?? Floyd whooped his ass?!

Freitas/Casamayor weren't on Floyds level yet when Folyd moved up.

Spadafora wasnt at Floyds level yet when Floyd moved up.

Tszyu was basically already retired when Floyd got to 140. and Floyd already whooped Hatton and Mitchell.

The only names on the whole list he cpuld've fought really, are Cotto and Marg.

Santos was not at 147 and he had to go to 154 cuz nobody at 147 wanted to fight him.

by the time he fought Clottey and P-Will Floyd had already avoided him...

i know the santos fight was at 154 but it was in between him fighting lujan and them and how do you know nobody wanted to fight him?i have been hearin this for the last couple years but if no one wanted to fight him it must have been because he brought nothing to the table because one of the fighters who were supposedly duckin him was shane yet shane had no problem fightin margo when he was the top ww.before the clottey fight margo didn't fight in about a year and when he fought clottey he was supposedly hurt so when was he goona fight floyd if he came into the clottey fight with an injury

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.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf? Mitchell? Sharmba Mitchell?? Floyd whooped his ass?!

at 147, not 140 lbs. I don't think the outcome would've been different, but mitchell aint no WW.

Freitas/Casamayor weren't on Floyds level yet when Folyd moved up.

freitas wasn't skillwise, but his power and speed and tenacity would give floyd trouble for a few rounds. but casamayor would've gave floyd hell for 12 rounds at 130 lbs.

Spadafora wasnt at Floyds level yet when Floyd moved up.

doesn't mean they shouldn't have fought.

Tszyu was basically already retired when Floyd got to 140. and Floyd already whooped Hatton and Mitchell.

tszyu was showtime and wifebeater was HBO, but that's a fight that should've been made imho.

hatton is garbage at 147 lbs. mitchell also unproven at 147 lbs.

The only names on the whole list he cpuld've fought really, are Cotto and Marg.

yep, clear duckage by wifebeater.

[Elfysdemize2212]

Cotto

He should have fought cotto.. it would have been one hella of a match.. the cotto before the fight against margarito..

[jrosales13]

i know the santos fight was at 154 but it was in between him fighting lujan and them and how do you know nobody wanted to fight him?i have been hearin this for the last couple years but if no one wanted to fight him it must have been because he brought nothing to the table because one of the fighters who were supposedly duckin him was shane yet shane had no problem fightin margo when he was the top ww.before the clottey fight margo didn't fight in about a year and when he fought clottey he was supposedly hurt so when was he goona fight floyd if he came into the clottey fight with an injury

Because, people said like Judah said he would not fight Margarito...i guess Cosme River and Baldo brought more to the table.

Don King didn't want to make a Mayorga-Margarito fight...I guess Cory Spinks brought more to the table.

Mosley said I don't know why Floyd won't fight Margarito in November, but then again I wouldn't fight Margarito in November either. I guess Estrada or the other journeyman he fought brought more to the table than Marg did. However, to be fair props to Shane for fighting Marg later on.

Yes Margarito, was low reward, but a very and I mean a very high risk. However, other WWs fought guys who absolutely brought nothing to the table at least Marg brought a title and was arguably the best WW at the time. But, then again the others didn't bring the risk that Marg brought.

And, Marg fought earlier in the same calender year that he fought Clottey
