    I laugh at how people try to act like Margarito was this elite fighter. He was a ****ing cheater who was a basic as it gets..This is what ya'll hold against Mayweather?? He turned down 7 million and damn near made a billion facing far more elite boxers....

      mr. plaster of paris got rekt by a filipino midget at 154, without plaster he would lose 10 out of 10 fights to cotto.

        In any case, Mayweather would whoop Margarito but don't need him.
        no he wouldn't have that's why he didn't face Margarito or Paul Williams people can talk up the ass all day. Mayweather could have fought both of them but he didn't. Mayweather never fought anybody like them guys who are not scare to get hit and punch with you at the same time with good chins and high work rate.

              this is the detail they miss and want to leave out and act like doesnt matter.....but its simple really....take a look at history

              floyd kicked bobs ass all over the place without ever laying a finger on him...and it must have hurt bobs pride to have to go to the table knowing floyd was in complete control....it was nice of floyd to let bob get up there at the podium a few times and act like a big shot

                Pacquiao - 10 years past prime 10 years my ass lol he was prime until 2010 and Floyd was older and past his prime too if this fight was made earlier it would have been even easier for a sharper faster floyd stop lying to yourself yea I hear you HE USED TO THROW 1000 punches! he can't do that vs floyd it creats 1000 openings to counter its why his punch stats were so damn low vs floyd he cannot beat mayweather

                Mosley - bum 10 years past prime coming off beating the **** out of margarito and multiple ****** fans saying floyd would lose to shane for years even if he was past prime floyd took his best shots and then dominated him like he was supposed to

                Castillo - LOST ok lets say he lost he then went on to beat him with ease in the rematch floyds held in such regard you guys can't even let him have an off night like loads of ATG have in the past lol

                Cotto - 10 years past prime so floyd fights someone coming up in weight and its a bs win but floyd goes UP a weight against a very tough fighter and wins and you still aint happy? hating much?

                Hatton - first time at the weight WRONG 2006-05-13 : Ricky Hatton 147 lbs beat Luis Collazo 147 lbs by UD in round 12 of 12

                Marquez - cheated on the scales True but JMM at any weight cannot beat floyd you know it I know it ****ty diva move by floyd but truth is there was a huge gap in ability

                Canelo - weigth drained afraid of 154 (same weight he fought cotto and you know why? cotto was 10 YEARS PAST PRIME!) same again any weight canelo loses plus floyd was mid 30's too and dominated him 12-0 yet GGG who gets talked about by idiots as this ATG MW gets a draw hell call it a win and it was still closer than floyd ok styles make fights but floyd was and is just a much better fighter than these two

                  What are you even talking about? He was offered the Margarito fight in late 2006. He fought Mitchell a year earlier than that.


                  Plus you talk about business decisions??? Really? He would have got 7mill for Margarito and got the same for Baldomir while not having to renew his contract. He wanted 10 mill for Cotto, 10 mill for Hatton, and 20 mill for De La Hoya to extend the Top Rank contract.

                  He wound up getting 11 mill for Hatton, $25 mill for De La Hoya, and 32 mill for Cotto.


                  He got 28 million more than he was begging Arum for for these opponents. I gave you this before. Read the article!

                    Of course he didn't take it. He always took the path of least resistance.

                    Then when he fought someone everyone told him to fight it was waaaaay past their prime. Then he would say, see? I beat him but it's still not enough.

                    Um actually, it would of been enough if any of them were in their prime.

                      Why did Pacman duck him in his prime. Didn't Mayweather sign a 50/50 contract to fight him?
