Floyd started out at Superfeather weight, and has been fighting guys who are bigger than him for a while now, so don't start with this bull**** of fighting a guy his size. Size isn't even what Floyd utilizes, so that's a pretty assanine argument in the first place.



    If no one is going to fight you in a division, aside from mandatories, you have two choices: Stay there and make no money, or go up and look for guys who are willing there.

    Then what the hell do you think about Corrales fighting at lightweight?

    Also, I'll say this again. No one knows who Margarito is (aside from boxing fans). The casual fan does not give two ****s about seeing Margarito fight anyone, because they don't know who he is. This is high risk-low reward for everyone who fights him. Why did people want the Gatti-Mayweather fight? Because they all know who Gatti is. Why would anyone want to see Mayweather fight Margarito? Exactly, they don't.

    If the fight is low reward for him cause no one knows who Margarito is then why did Floyd fight Victoriano Sosa, Phillip N'dou, Henry Bruseles, Sharmba Mitchell? Casual boxing fans dont even know who those are also. Why hasnt Floyd added Margarito to his list if hes a nobody like the other nobodys hes beat? Atleast he'd get a belt by this nobody thats also recognized as the true welterweight Champ by the ring mag. You also forgot that Margarito has the Mexican fans behind him, Mexicans do know who Margarito is.

      In boxing, ur natural weight is whatever u dont strain in to make weight. I guarantee you, that no one walks at their fighting weight. Not even floyd.

      Also who wants to see Floyd fight Margarito? There is 7 Million dollars on the table for floyd to fight Margarito... that says someone definitely does. In comparison floyd got 3 million to fight sharmba.

        Do you realize what high risk means? Do you really thing that Sosa, N'Dou, Bruselles, or Mitchell posed a threat? No, no they didn't. Margarito does, and to lose to him is very damaging to their career, because no one knows who he is.

        Also, numbers get thrown around on the internet all the time, and people say so and so offered this amount of money, and so and so offered this amount of money, but so and so didn't want this amount, etc, etc.

            he is a little taller than winky but his frame is smaller. he is long and slim built Winky looks like a ****ing tank.


            Bad Magic you misunderstood my post. I wasnt complaining about Margarito being a big welter, other people were and I agree Mayweather doesnt use his size.Read my post right before trying to be smart about it, and look .

He has a major belt at 147 and if he as easy as Floyd makes it sound then why not take it?Floyd after watching the Zab fight is licking his chops to fight an averated piece of crap.(ZAB) I would admire Floyd if ever took a fight againts Margarito a NATURAL 147 pounder.Pick on people his own size? He makes 147 easy....never heard if him straining to make his weight.Or stop coming up in weight if you want to fight people your own size.Point is Margarito wants to fight for the bucks,its just that he is surounded by a bunch **** talkers.
              that seven million dollar offer was horse****

                I think his best chance of fighting a top guy soon is if Shane Mosley will fight him next. Thats possible although Shane is probably gonna angle for a showdown with Judah/Mayweather.

                  Actually, Floyd offered to fight Margarito when Judah lost, but Margarito would not pay Gomez to step aside.

                      That's mostly what I was responding to. Floyd is not fighting people his own size. Zab is started at Jr. Welter, while Floyd started at Super-Featheweight. Two different sizes. What you're asking is for Floyd to fight a guy who's naturally bigger than every welterweight in the division.

                      Margarito has a belt, yes, but the 7 million dollar offer is **** unless there are actual contract negotiations happening, which there weren't. The fight is still very high risk, and relatively low reward for anyone. They could make much, much, much more money if Margarito fought a few lower tier fighters (A guy like Gatti comes to mind), and made his name off of them, then there'd be more incentive for other top welters to fight him. As of now, there is a lot more incentive to NOT fight him.
