some strange and disturbing things being said here
arum never wanted cotto to fight mayweather? he offered floyd 7 million which is 2 million more than floyd had ever made and this is when cotto was at 140. instead floyd rejected that and said he would only fight cotto for 10 million(the same amount he got to fight boxings biggest star delahoya later) even after leaving top rank floyd never returned to cash in on a huge cotto payday so you can stop blaming arum for floyd's reluctance.
the only time anyone said floyd was ducking baldomir was when floyd chose to fight judah coming off a loss to baldomir instead of baldomir himself. why fight a guy who just lost to a journeyman? why not fight the lineal champ or the guy who was ranked number 1 for 3 straight years margarito instead of judah?
also there is a difference between lineal champ and best fighter in the division. zsolt erdei was lineal champ at 175 but no one considered him the best fighter in the division when guys like jones and tarver were in the division. imagine if hopkins had targeted erdei instead of tarver then called himself champ without ever fighting tarver. this is what floyd did fighting baldomir but not margarito or cotto. only *****s defend this kind of nonsense.
as for as nobody knowing who margarito was at the time ummm who was baldomir? at the time margarito had been on hbo(at least 3 times), showtime(at least twice), espn(at least twice) a lot more than baldomir(once on show and once on hbo). margarito had been ranked for many more years than baldomir. margarito had a mexican following. baldomir showed up out of nowhere beat judah then lost to floyd and faded into bolivian losing to a bunch of guys .margarito's been around for ten plus years.Last edited by daggum; 01-29-2012, 10:30 AM.Comment

That's a big fat lie.Comment

Ortiz-No complaints very good young champ coming off a big win
Mosley-When Floyd fought Shane Shane was 28 had not fought in a year and a half and on that occasion yes he beat the p4p 3 to a pulp but Margarito and Floyd are opposites Shane eats up come foward brawlers +plus Margarito according too Doug Fischer was weight drained going into the fight
JMM-Was moved up 12 lbs i class it as a decent win nothing more and yes he probably beat Manny but styles make fights
Hatton-Ricky was a beast at 140 going into the Floyd fight but on his previous foray into the WW division 2 fights earlier i felt like many others Collazo beat him.Collazo had Hatton all but gone in the last round and Luis aint much off a puncher
DLH-Solid Win
Baldomir-Solid win
Thats my opinionComment

At least they have Titles when Floyd fights them.
At least they're still scoring KO's when Floyd fights them..
Margarito didn't even have a license or a ranking when Manny fought him..that was a JOKE and ya'll loved every chuckle..
"Cotto is a shot fighter"
"Oscar can't pull the trigger at 147"
"Hatton isn't the same fighter since getting KO'd by Mayweather"
