    you and anyone else would've taken the baldo/ODH package, especially since baldo was the lineal champ.

    and you didn't respond to my post about srl waiting 2 years to fight Hearns.
    Of course he could have taken Margarito first. He just didn't want the challenge. Just the money.

    Regarding SRL I don't get your point.

      margarito's performances since Naz found the wraps does not suggest he could beat any average or above average boxer without cheating of some kind. it also makes every win hes had in the last few years suspect.

        o k no eed to reply no more to you after that dumb ass comment but zab judah was a person that people knew even if you don't watch boxing and being from new york no one knew margarito not even the mexicans out here you can still walk up to mexicans in new york and ask them who is margarito and they won't know.margarito was so known by the hardcore boxing community yet you have people like brian kenny asking floyd why he is not fighting baldomir or hatton but he didn't ask about margarito

          Dude. Baldo was terrible. Everybody knew that Margarito was the man to beat. Even you.

            Stop the presses. We have an idiot on the loose! You're straight up lieng. I highly, highly doubt, there are any Mexican fight fans, that didn't know who Margarito was.

            Brian Kenny is Floyd's Cossell. That whole fight they had was some publicity ****. Kenny knows what's up. He's a part of the "system".

              He's held to a lower standard. He's the #1 rated 2x champ in his 5th weightclass, and any time someone brings up Trout or Martinez at 154, his fanbase in unison: "not fair, he's too small". If he took on Sergio at 154, or even a second rate MW titlist at 158, every "CW hater" here would trip all over themselves to give him credit.

                i don't see how once he left TR given the lawsuit and the reason behind floyd leaving.

                SRL waited about 2 years to fight Hearns. People don't hold it against him.

                  nope... The reason Margacheato lost to mosely badly coz as soon as he enter the ring... His lost his concentration 100% coz of the scandal... Boxing is like 50% focus/mental and 50% skills...

                      was margs better than Baldo, yes. Baldo had just beaten the lineal WW champion which was a better win than any Margs had at the time.

                      Margs wasn't the man at ww. I mean 6 heads and cintron wins make you the man?
