Manny destroyed the guy Floyd ducked. Can´t deny that. And it made Manny look like a beast, Floyd got a SD against DLH who Manny retired. I love both but dont be so biased.
you think he makes more money against the unknown argentine baldomir as opposed to the mexican margarito? pretty sure it was floyd who used to fight on mexican holidays and pretty sure it was floyd who almost always picked mexican opponents to attract the fans but now marg is unknown? no.
also he could have fought him instead of mitchell, judah, retirment so stop making up straw mans and pretending the only time he could have fought him was instead of baldomir. you said $$$ makes sense except floyd fought sharmba and judah for less than he was being offered to fight marg for...so money only makes sense sometimes?
judah lost to an unknown journeyman named baldomir and floyd still fought him so your marg lost argument holds no water. losing didn't kill judah's chances only marg's hmmm inconsistent poster warning!
common sense
1)Lineal/WBC/RING title > WBOgus belt
2)you do realize in 06..Mayweather hadnt started his trend for fighting on mexican holidays...it started with dLH and DIDNT continue until 2009 and his comeback
3)were you even following boxing back then? be honest
4)Judah and floyd were already signed to fight, it was gonna happen either way and it was a fight fans wanted....not floyds fault Judah believed his own hype and came performed the way he did
Judah was more accomplished, more known, so the fight made sense and they had a history
5)no one even knew who margarito was until he beat Cotto, besides hardcore fans....Judah was known since the 96 olympic group and was groomed on FNF, and HBO
mayweather already agreed to fight judah for the titles before judah-baldomir, judah lost but the mayweather-judah fight went ahead. Mayweather then fought the ww champion baldomir. Then dlh and hatton. All those fight were bigger/more important than marg.
^^^^theyre reaching for invisible straws...its obvious they werent following boxing then bwahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaha
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
Floyd was a 130lb fighter to start with so fighting 22 lbs from where he started to fight a guy that everyone thought was a beast just 2lb south of his natural weight is not a level playing field !
lol do u think that they actually believe marg would beat Floyd? I have tried to wrap my mind around that for years
me too and the castillo comparison always threw me off
only thing they have in common is that their mexican and had a size advantage
other than that....two totally different fighters and seriously Castillo was more talented and skilled....had a better jab, defense, speed, educated pressure, punch variety and combinations....margarito just followed you around and threw a load of shots...Also castillo was more accomplished
they were so desperate to see the man lose, they werent realistic about who had a chance to beat him
size is the most overrated attribute in boxing next to power...if you are hitting air, it means 0
