    Floyd is a ducker and the world knows it. Floyd is the most overrated fighter of all time

      its clearly coercion. im sure if margarito offered 3 million dollars to a fringe contender he would let margarito fight with loaded gloves. the fringe contender has no other option. fight someone else for peanuts or take the 3 million hmmm. the point is both fights were rigged. just because the opponent agreed to a rigged fight doesn't make it better.

        The real question would have been "would losing to margarito have done anything on Floyd's legacy in retrospect?

        OP's questions seems that had he fought Margarito, Floyd would have surely won

Which isnt floyds fault if they agreed to the terms.


          Boldomir
          odlh his last real threat imo
          hatton small but good win ml
          marquez blown up lw
          mosley ok win 3 years too late
          ortiz blindsided ko
          cotto gone to hell n back with margs pac
          Ghost nothing to say other than best win was bert
          Canelo.. cw but good win
          maidana glovegate. Been schooled by boxers

          Neither listed were at any point considered boogeymen. Nobody was jumping out of their way to fight em. Pwill and margs had the division shook
          height and reach advantage is an aesthetic advantage...has nothing to do with skills

          what you did with his opposition you can do with anyone's...would you like me to do what you did with Mayweather's resume with a fighter of your choice?


          How is their a cloud of making weight win he weighed just a pound more the fight prior, just like Cotto before facing Pacuqiao...no difference


          If Margo and Williams had the division so shook then why did They take loses to lesser fighters @ ww....Williams got thoroughly outboxed by Quintana who Cotto blitzed and Maragrito lost to Williams and got a gift over Lara later


          they myth sounds great but like I said previously both were contenders with a WBO trinket when Floyd was moving up...all to lose nothing to gain...He beat better fighters than both before and after so please humor me by arguing different.

            Had Floyd fought Margarito, you would not have to do this thread anymore

            And I will be making this thread "Had Floyd ducked Margarito do you think he would have been undefeated till now? "

              Floyd can fight anybody and people like you will always have an excuse


              rinse, wash, repeat


              even if he beat better fighters than the guys you say he so call ducked...Paul Williams and Margarito were good but not great...He beat better fighters than both...everybody is/was a perceived threat until he kicks their arse


              Only person left is Pacquaio....they will fight before they retire, and just like fighters before him when he wins....in come the ready made excuses

              I cant wait til this fight is official.

                Floyd could have ducked everybody and people like you would have made a thread that IF he did fought them he would have schooled them or whooped their behind.

                Wash rinse repeat as desired.

                    pac's an 8 division champ and fighter of the decade so you are wrong again. he's ducked more accomplished and less accomplished fighters, he doesn't discriminate when it comes to ducking. also what you are saying is jibberish. you can't duck someone if they don't have as many titles as you or haven't won as many awards as you? they were the best fighters around and he didn't fight them. that's a duck. 7 million to fight marg or 4 to fight sharmba mitchell. that's a duck. why do you defend cowards? i mean you might be a coward yourself but that doesn't mean you have to defend them. you can pretend not to be a coward. this is the internet after all.

                      8 division titlist....4 division champion


                      Mayweather 5 division titlist....4 division champion



                      their is a difference


                      since he is such a coward name one fighter today fighting that has won more title fights...not trinkets....lineal title fights than him and beat more champions....name one...you cant

                      I find it funny the only ones calling pro fighters cowards are the ones whove never sparred let alone, fought


                      your post are a joke, all opinion.....lacks facts and logic



                      yea im a coward to you on the internet but face to face id kick your ass from pillar to post and show you the difference between talking tough on a message board and stepping in the squared circle
