In 2004 and 2005, Mayweather was fighting at 140 pounds, so explain to us how the hell he was dodging a noboby named Margarito at that time. Judah was named Ring magazine champion after he beat Spinks and Baldomir won it after he beat Judah. At the time Mayweather fought Baldomir in 2006, Baldomir was the was the Ring Magazine champion, so I don't know what ratings you are looking at.all i have to say is "you don't know sh-it about boxing!"
he was #1 in 2004,2005,2006,and 2008
check the rankings.
mayorga, spinks, judah, baldomir, and floyd all turned down fights with him. so according to you if golovking beats 8 top ten middles, wins 3 belts but finally loses he's a bum and sergio not fighting him was the right decision? fighting a jouneyman who appeared out of thin air then vanished just as quickly is a better win? lol!
also a year and a half later is immediately? mosely was clearly shot in that fight but who cares right? still is a great win for floyd. you obviously don't know what cherry picking is. cherry picking is fighting guys like baldomir and mosley when they score fluke wins. cherry picking is not fighting guys like margarito who was the top guy for years.
margarito had one loss in ten years when floyd ducked him and that was a fight at 154 which most people thought he won.
you love ducking.
Regardless of how much you whine about cherrypicking, the facts speak for themselves. If you look at Magarito's record prior to the Williams fight, he had beaten a bunch of nobodies with the exception of Cintron, who as a B-Class fighter. Margarito lost to the first high-quality fighter he fought at 147 - Paul Williams (a fight which, incidentally, his team tried their best to avoid). He later lost to Mosley, whom he was favored to defeat by knockout and then he lost to Pacquaio and Cotto. He was not in Mayweather's league. Period.Comment
