Why does beating Andre Berto earn you a Mayweather fight?

[The Big Dunn]

I think anyone who followed the sport knows the deal with Mosley and Cotto.

Many disagree with me on this but I think his retirement was because he didn't want the Margarito. fight. I don't know why but I just think Mayweather didn't want that fight. It was a winnable fight but he didn't want it. I think that much as clear as much as some people deny it.

I think there's certainly a few.

I think Trinidad would beat Mayweather, certainly.

If marg wins the pwill fight, do you think floyd fights him at that time?

[IronDanHamza]

You obviously bought the comeback and the bs hook, line and sinker then. Its been just super, hasnt it?

Nice rebuttal.

I again don't entirely understand what you mean but if you're asking what I think of his resume since his comeback it's been decent. Could have been, could have been a lot worse.

the better question is when will you stop posting about floyd? dude you spend most of your time in the NSB section lying and over exaggerating things that a floyd fan posted. you dont answer questions directly. then when all else fails-bumsniff,floydiot, flojob yada, yada, yada.

You ****s make NSB almost unnavigable, its not hard to work out, is it. And exaggerate???? I have lost count of the amount of times you have cheered on and appropriated some of the worst dross by the worst flojobs. Now when are you going to remove your tongue from floyd's arsehole?

margarito is an interesting case. i'd have to go back through the records to see when he lost to willaims, which would obviously detract from his credibility as an opponent. i think it was '07 or '08.


it's pretty regularly stated that floyd declined 8 million to fight margarito, which was a good deal of money for that period of his career. i'm honestly not sure if that claim has ever been substantiated to a degree of absolute certainty.


and his chin was so good that you can see why he'd be low on the list of guys to fight.

July 2007 he lost to pwill. then he beat golden johnson and then cintron I believe.

It also could have been a **** sight better, and if his resume since coming back(given he is supposed to be the best fighter and the highest paid/highest charging) is what you as a boxing fan would call decent, then there's no point to this really.

Off topic, but I miss P-Will...I think boxing does.

Even prior to that, in 2006 he should have fought him.

I have never understood why he fought Zab Judah instead of Margarito. Margarito was the logical fight to take at that point and a lot of people were wanting to see it, both with Top Rank. Judah just lost and he should have waited until he got some more wins and let it build up again.

Then again after that, when he turned down the 8 million and chose Baldomir instead.

Now, I can understand why he would do that. Margarito was of course the better fight. But Baldomir was the Champion. So I can understand it although he should have fought Margarito instead IMO.

It just seems from day 1 he was reluctant to fight him

hit up the boxrec. boxrecing pwill is an honor


they were at the home depot center, as i suspected. carson california. it's an outdoor football arena. williams fought walter mathysse and margarito in that building. cintron too, evidently.
