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

[therealpugilist]

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?

nobody was calling out pretty boy floyd from 130-140...he was knocking folks out and embarassing them....when he beat DLH thats when everybody and they momma wanted some.

Floyd was calling dudes out with no reaction...kostya tszyu, johnston, etc.

Floyd beat the dog poop out of mosley after he destroyed margacheato....... Thats even more impressive...

[Robbie Barrett]

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.

He asked everyone he fought to do testing, only Pacquiao had an issue with it.

April 25, 2006:

Many in the sport believe a De La Hoya-Mayweather fight is the biggest fight on the horizon and the only one capable of generating 1 million-plus buys on pay-per-view.

The reason Mayweather opted for the buyout rather than waiting for the May 6 result was because the contract had a limited window for the buyout, one that expired before the De La Hoya fight. However, Arum said he would have extended the window if Mayweather had asked. What Arum wouldn't do, he said, was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."

This is why Mayweather vs. Margarito never happened!

Yet he had no problem fighting Mosley? (who tested positive)

Margarito was caught trying to cheat before he faced Mosley. There's no proof he cheated before that.

so de la hoya did testing? hatton? etc etc etc.

he started with manny, so its not everyone he fought.

and pac was has never been tested so why would he want an even playing field? that doesnt make any sense. was manny that good that he thought it could only be from cheating?

He started with his return from retirement. Only Pacquiao had an issue with it. Pacquiao was turning down the biggest fight in history over a drug test. If that doesn't look shady to you you're a ******.

I wil side with Floyd on this one. At the time I thought he was ducking Margarito... but in hindsight probably a good idea. Floyd would have beat the stuffings out of him. Once again not what I thought at the time!

marquez was his first fight out of retirement. no drug testing there. lol, get your facts game up boi.. so manny was just that good? the only way for floyd to believe pac was that good is because pac was cheating?
