When tony confronted floyd

[Jcsuper]

Career high payday at the time (8 million) to fight Tony. Floyd said no and left. What's so hard to understand about that?

Seriously, why would ANYONE turn down 8millie to fight a supposed plodding, slow, no skilled bum?

And just LOL @ the bold. Did you even watch the fight?

Still here defending that bum cheater ? What's margarito record without the plasters again ?

See Mayweather vs Baldomir...thank me later.

that was a war, it should have been voted as the fight of the decade.

As much as I would of liked to see margarito beat floyd lets face it, tony would just be target practice for floyd

[TheFrog]

The plaster didn't help him against Paul Wlliams. It definitely wouldn't matter against Floyd.

lol in what way are Paul Williams and Floyd Mayweather even remotely similar? They're both bald black guys?

I agree with the overall point tho. Floyd wins lol

[AztecWanker]

With or without the contract extension? We see it everyday in boxing but with Floyd we forget the rules don't exist. Shaw did it to Bradley with the Khan fight. Arum did it to Gamboa with the Rios fight. "Sure i'll pay you but you have to sign this extension first." And he did choose his career high payday at the time. Oscar...

I agree that Floyd wanted the Oscar fight but he actually bought out his contract with Arum to not fight Margarito and also claimed he had a hand injury. The fight was supposed to happen in summer of '06.

I think it would have been a helluva fight. It would have been Floyd's most physically taxing fight. He wouldn't be able to throw just one punch at a time, he'd have to get Tony to respect his power. He'd have to constantly be moving all 3 minutes of every round. Either Floyd wins by close decision (115-113, 116-112) or Margo wears him down late and TKO's him.

I honestly do not think this fight would've been a walk in the park at all for Floyd.

Floyd WIDE UD in a boring affair.

I would've been pulling for Margarito in a huge way but he didn't have the foot speed to keep up with Floyd for that relentless pressure AND (unlike Cotto) Lil' Floyd does not tire. EVER.

Pot-shot exhibition that would have won Floyd no new fans.

He would nail tony with counters that he wouldnt see coming and even though floyd isnt a KO artist he definitely has enough sting in his shots to make you think twice

we're talking 2006 here...

What's the difference between 2006 and 2009 Margarito?

Did he use different plaster then?

Antonio Margarito was a cheater. He would of loaded up his gloves....and got his ears boxed off him like Pwill did for about 9-10 rounds.
