If Floyd did what Canelo did to Lara, you would say Floyd is ducking Lara.

Was Margarito [any good]?

Thank you.

Margarito's biggest win came against Miguel Cotto in a fight were he was probably brandishing loaded gloves.

The Margararito fight was offered to Mayweather on the condition that he resign with Top Rank. Floyd decided to give Arum the finger and proceeded to go make 100's of millions of dollars. Anyone who thinks Mayweather ducked a come forward no-skilled plodder like Margarito needs to take their head out of their ass. We all saw what Mosley did to that cheat once he was relieved of his loaded gloves...

I agree with you and i was on the "ban him for life" bandwagon after the Mosley fight.
The point is though that situation didn't come into play when Floyd turned down what at the time would have been his biggest payday to fight competition that would be an easier fight.

Floyd tried to negotiate what he thought he was worth, Arum said "fold em." Margarito lost his very next fight after that conversation. Floyd got paid a dollar more for fighting Baldomir if I am not mistaken, and got the lineal title. Sounds like a win-win to me.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Yes i do but the debate was why not Margo for 8 mil and we all know why but Baldo was one of his last fights and he won lineal with it so it gave him more leverage when he went out on his own.

I would go for lineal champ over money that i will make when i won this title and make more which he did.

Yes we do all know why. Baldomir was an easier fight

If you think Baldomir was the easier fight could you at least explain why?

Margs didn't have as good a win as Baldomir did and basicaly was given the WBO title because of his relationship with Arum.

Because I have eyes.

Thats bull**** Dirk. Your eyes have told you many things and they and you have been proven wrong.

If you think Margs is better or would be a more difficult fight, there has to be something concrete you can point to.

There isnt but Margo was that guy whocme up to floyd at this moment so thats why. Had floyd fought Margo they would be on here saying "Floyd was afraid of the lineal champ" "the guy who beat Zab scared Floyd big time" "Who did MArgo beat" "Another cherry pick by Floyd"

[jas]

wow margarito was obviously a tougher fight than baldomir. dunn, your crediblity as a poster is taking a serious hit here. maybe you can salvage it somehow, i jus dunno how tho

He's a better fighter all around. He throws more punches, cuts the ring off better, hits harder, has a better chin, has better stamina, throws better combinations. I don't know what else you want, he was better in every single department of fighting. You know it and I know it.

Only complete Mayweather butt boys try to play dumb and say they were the same.

If posters legitimately think Marg is better-cool. There should be some tangible facts. In 2006 ESPN had Margs ranked #1 and that was only because they did their 1st ppv card featuring him vs Cintron in the main event.
