Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Glad He Never Fought "Cheater" Margarito

[WesternChamp]

Floyd "I want an even playing field"

- Made Marquez come up two divisions, didn't make the weight vastly outweighed him.

- Made a 22 year old Canelo come down to a catchweight to fight him

- wouldn't allow Maidana to use his gloves

- in the Maidana rematch he chose a vastly bigger ring because he didn't like Maidanas crowding

- *****ed for years about Mannys drug testing, then took an illegal IV before their fight!

Yeah you want an even playing field alright,

let me add about how he was trying to get canelo to fight him at 147. talk about an even playing field right thurrr! lol

[WesternChamp]

how is he gonna say he wants to be on an even playing field with manny when pac has never tested positive????? so he just "assumed" cause pac was that good? and i see margarito is still on his mind even after all these years. should have fought him. now those demons will follow him.

Of course you are. When you said "Were not trying to prove the best" comment you said when Margarito confronted you in a casino really rattled your balls.

.....Margarito was good but never a threat...walking punching bag, no defense, no one punch power

the man lost to every top level fighter he faced.....Mosley, Cotto, Pacquaio and mayweather beat those guys as well

Margo wouldve been one of his easiest opponents...dude is basic not much craft to his game

Paul Williams beat him with plaster hands and all.

I don't understand why so many people overhype this dude. But let's just talk about Williams/Margarito. For a minute.

Williams may have got the decision, but he should not have won that fight. Worst case a draw. Margacheato was the cleaner offense in the fight and the plaster hands took an effect. Williams was hitting air most of the fight, and when he did connect, Cheato just smiled.


As far as TBE, I think he was better off facing Baldomir at welter. He wouldn't have been nearly as successful constantly fighting career middleweights unless they were pulling in entire countries on PPV - which Cheato was not - and thus why he only ever fought De La Hoya, Cotto and Canelo up there.

Fighting Cheato didn't do much for Manny's career, either. His paydays are still pitiful while TBE is bathing in money.

with margarito on his mind lol!!!! atleast those other guys who fought marg and won can look pass it. floyd is still talking about margarito, a fight that was suppose to happen like 10 years ago. why would marg still even be on his mind while bathing in money? because he never fought him so those demons will follow him lol.

[WesternChamp]

money cant buy respect. respect is earned.

I believe Margarito started used the wraps after he loss to Williams, after tht he started hurting guys in his fight more often ie when he fought Kermit Cintron, Marg was not using the wraps at the time he wanted to fight Floyd, in fact when he fought Santos he couldnt even stun him and he was tagging Santos pretty good, Floyd just straight up ducked him thts all

[rongizzle]

Floyd don't have to explain himself. Pacquiao ducked Zahir Raheem. A lot of fighters avoid fights that make no sense. Cotton, Mosley, Morales, Prince Naseem, and a bunch of other fighters avoided Floyd at 135. Floyd was one of the most avoided fighters of all time when he was younger. What if Margarito cheated in the Sergio Martinez fight?

[nycsmooth]

Floyd new what Margaritowas all about before the Press & he was caught with plaster... not much you can pull over Floyd's eyes...

[shawn4943]

Not saying he was ducking him, but Floyd didn't know **** about Margarito plastering his hands. If he did, **** him for not saying anything about it.
