      ONLY on NSB can beating a fighter that held a trinket mean more for your legacy than Hall of famers like Mosley, Marquez, DLH and others.


      Mosley was a two time lineal welterweight champion and hall of famer>perennial contender and trinket holder Margarito


      Margarito was a top 5 ww off and on for 3 years

          a Win over Margarito would have Validated him as a legit champion instead he decided to act like a coward in front of the man and thats why till this day he is known as a coward.

                Lol dude I see what you're doing.

                You're basing it by names only. Marquez wasn't a WW. Is he a future HOFer? Absolutely!

                What brought the Mosley hype before Floyd fought him? Margarito! Let's forget the 16 months of inactivity. What is Mosley's biggest accomplishment outside of DLH? A PRIME DLH. Vargas? Nope!

                  I agree there are many out there that believe Marg and Paul Williams high work rate would cause Mayweather problem's add the fact Margs does not back down when he gets hit like all of Mayweather opponents have in the past. Margs and Paul Williams would just keep going no matter how much they got hit and die trying to win shame these fights didn't happen

                    Margarito is neither an ATG or Hall of Famer. Who knows if he was cheating when he beat Cintron and Cotto, his only good wins of his career. So no, it does nothing for his career. Baldomir with some power.

                      Floyd would of gotten much less hate from fans if he would of actually fought Margarito/Cotto when it mattered.
