Mayweather - how scared was he of Margarito?

[stefjonno1]

The hate Floyd get's is just plain dumb. Putting a video together and implying that Floyd was shook is also dumb. It really don't matter what Floyd does, hater's are gonna hate regardless. To be undefeated after all these years after fighting the champions and former champions he has fought is incredible. The guy you say he was scared of was a proven cheat and will always be remembered for that.

so basically what you just said was "Mayweather isn't scared, he was just scared"

Not really, you can see it like this.

Tough nights work for 8 million,

Easy nights work for 6 million.

What would you do?

this never seems to get old :laugh:
FWIW, Floyd woulda UD'd Tony, style matchup favored him big
understood him taking sorryass Baldomir over Tony
he woulda beaten Tony but not quite as easily
Tony woulda made him work for it
nobody would choose facing Tony over Baldomir
but Floyd shoulda faced Tony in 08 instead of tucking his tail
he ducked Tony and Cotto when their reps were at their highest
he's never gonna get excused for that

Mayweather wanted the same guarantee against Cotto that he would get against De La Hoya, which was a far, far more lucrative fight. Just think about that for a second.


Mayweather didn't fight De La Hoya in his next fight; he fought Carlos Baldomir after Leonard Ellerbe claimed they couldn't fight Margarito in August due to an injured hand (the possibility of moving the date forward a couple of months obviously wasn't an option.)

no he didnt.he wanted a 20 mil guarantee for oscar

he fought baldomir because baldomir was the linear champ and he had just brought out of his top rank contract.what sense would it make to fight rito.if he fought rito,people would just claim he ducked baldomir
