Floyd avoided a landmine by not fighting Margarito. Gloves controversy.

[S. Saddler 1310]

one of these days in the near future i will compose a lengthy 'THE FACTS' post outlining why it is extremely unlikely that Margarito 'loaded his gloves' against Cotto or, indeed, any opponent.

tonight, i am too weary from my exertions in the gymnasium.

Margarito still being discussed and even at one point considered the best @147 just tells me that Bob Arum is truly and easily one of the greatest promoters of all time!!! Cong**** Bob Arum you sold a lot people BS and told them to like it and that is just what they did.

BOB ARUM

[puga]

I know he was scared.. I'm saying his fear saved him from a landmine.....

this is how i feel too ...

I actually remember Floyd saying that something wasn't right with Margarito.
And he was right.

Floyd and his fams been in the game long enough to reckonize a weird dude if he saw one. Margo may have been loading the wraps for the longest, but it didn't matter cause he'd been impressive for a while.

Let me tell you something man this doesn't have anything to do with race you call a spade a spade i'm black but even i gotta give the dude props Mattyse is a monster, and i'm telling you right now Golden Boy is protecting Danny Garcia. They don't want no parts of Mattyse they ain't ******. I'm not saying Danny Garcia can't win but there is no way on God's green earth that Garcia can just walk throught Mattyse. Mattyse ain't gonna quit and has a chin a punches hAAAArd, Garcia aint walking through him in no 4 rds. Garcia might get beat up don't let nobody on Garcia's team fool you that dude sam watson or anybody else in boxing give you some BS excuse why the fight won't happen. I don't care how many tickets the dude sold it's an excuse period that has nothing to do with whether you can fight or not and Keith Kizer anybody connected to Golden Boy or team Garcia when somebody bring up Mattyse name watch the excuses they come up with. They know that boy Mattyse is a problem they can't just go in there and walk all over dude it won't happen it's to dangerous of a fight so they are ducking him period.

BOB ARUM

and espn did their 1st ppv with margs and cintron. they really promoted that heavy. so Margs gets this rep as being so good when all he did was beat 6 heads.

In my opinion Floyd avoided a giant sized landmine by not fighting Margarito.

I don't like or dislike either fighter.. but there was a 50% Chance Margarito loaded his gloves against Cotto.. I say 50% sounds about right..

Loaded Margarito vs Floyd would have been the most talked about fight of the decade(even more so than TKO6). I don't think Floyd could have survived and would have had his career seriously damaged.....

So in hindsight..

Floyd was actually a genius.

Y'all just wanna see Floyd hurt..

At that time Floyd would have lost with or without Plaster. To much pressure and Maragrito chin at that time would have walked right through Mayweather. You had Castillo beat Floyd with Pressure and he walked right through Floyd Margarito was a far greater beast than Castillo so do the math but only idiots think Floyd didn't duck fighters
