Why Would Mayweather Duck Margarito?

[BLOODSHED]

Kostya said he wouldn't rematch Judah because Judah said he wouldn't give Kostya a rematch before their fight.

And I think it is well documented, Judah wanted/presumably still wants a rematch with Kostya.

lmfao, do you realize how ******ed that sounds?

Pac already knocked him out. While we're on the subject.....how come Judah was ducking Tszyu after he was knocked out?

oh that's right. They weren't really slated to fight again....just like Barrera and Pacquiao.

The PBF bashing has already started because he has not fought a truly elite fighter in a few years at this point. I like, PBF, and even rate him at the top of my P4P list, but not for much longer. As I see it (and I try to see it objectively), Floyd has one last chance to prove he is not ducking Margarito and that is to fight him in his next fight. I had no problem with the PBF vs. Zab fight because it was already in the books before the loss (and most were excited about it). I also have no problem with him waiting to take the fight with Margarito as long as his next fight is against a top level opponent. As a boxing fan, I simply want to see good/entertaining fights. If Floyd comes through with a suitable opponent, I can live with the past couple of slip ups.

Thats the best you can come up with your gonna tell me beating feather fisted Spinks makes him legit. Spinks is not an A class fighter and Spinks squeaked by Karmazin. He got KTFO by Tsyzu, lost the first fight to Spinks, and got beaten by Baldomir on the verge of the biggest fight of his life. I'm not saying that Judah doesn't have the skill but mentally never shows up and Zab has always been overrated.He can have all the skills in the world but if he can't pull it together mentally it doesn't mean anything. Floyd beating Judah coming off the loss to Baldomir doesn't mean ****. I really hope you can do better than that, and I noticed you didn't address any of my other points. Please tell me you can do better than that.

Spinks > Cintron

That's all I'm gonna say

Oh, and this

Spinks > Santos

[Bozo_no no]

It's funny how he complains about "an abundance of biased opinions" and does nothing but make excuses for Floyd and degrade Margarito. But everything he says about Margarito to make him into an average fighter with no chance other than a "lucky punch," steps on his own toes, because...

If Margarito is such an average fighter, wouldn't Floyd jump on $8.5M like a fly to honey? LOL The title of his article is appropriate, yet he doesn't answer his own question. If Floyd turns down the $8.5M to fight Margarito, then barring some elaborate explanation, it is a dodge. And why would he do that if he isn't apprehensive about fighting him? The guy should answer his own question if he's going to ask it in the title. LOL

The Thomas and Mack is booked in Nov, so it has to be in Oct. Floyd could absolutely switch dates, and Arum could fill a new Nov card and make the fight happen. But Floyd is not interested in fighting Margarito, period. As soon as Arum said it has to be Oct, then Floyd starts repeating "Nov 4th" over and over again like a parrot, making that into a ready-made excuse. Meanwhile, if he wanted the fight, it would happen in two seconds. He made the Judah fight stick, even with the Judah loss, making excuses and repeatedly apologizing for Judah's performance against Baldomir. "If it makes dollars, then it makes sense." Well Margarito is the biggest payday of his career, gift-wrapped and laid at his feet with no strings attached.

Poor article and very one-sided, really.

Just starting up with the same biased non sense you ran away from (after several subject changes) in the last thread, hey?

It's not like stuff like this is the only reason you come here though, right?


- Floyd's under contract by HBO to fight in November.

- A fight in October would be without TWO of his main corner men

- Margarito fighting in Nov is just as good an option, where he'd make the same money, yet nothing's been said about this


Once again you troll in with the same defeated logic you abandoned last time.

So boring, so wastefull.

[psychopath]

So true. I agree with every word. I especially like the part about how Mexican fans claim Floyd is ducking Margarito but say nothing about Barrera looking at every opponent EXCEPT Pacquiao.

I'm not a Mexican but I have reason to believe that Floyd is really ducking Marg at present.

Why? Ask Pbf.

And I'm also saying that MAB is ducking Pacman for almost 3 years now. And this one is a FACT.

[bigtime9]

The hatred stems from racism

Once again we have the racist trolls on the board trying convince THEMSELVES that the best fighter in the world p4p is ducking a fighter like margarito. The hatred = racism. You don't FEEL this vibe unless you have encountered a racist. Not a neo-**** racist but the keyboard type. All you guys saying pbf is ducking margo would not be saying this if he were european or mexican. Point blank PERIOD.

ONCE AGAIN RACISTS The facts are:

1. PBF is with HBO a NETWORK! HBO has more money than bob arum.

2. ARUM rented the thomas and mack center for Oct 7th before consulting PBF the main attraction for the fight.

3.Arum has not promoted Margarito as much as Miguel Cotto. Why hasn't Bob who is so race conscious, promoted cotto versus margarito. Is Arum shortchanging PBF by thinking 8mill is all he can offer?

4. PBF vs Margo is not a legacy fight. Mosley, Del La Hoya, Baldomir, Forrest, Spinks, These are legacy fights.


For all you haters and Racists

IT'S CLOBBERIN TIME

good post, curious what these haters are going to say now. arums crooked ass saying he can't guarantee the same money in nov. is bull****. but i'm sure somehow and someway it will still be that floyd's a fraud and is ducking marg.

No one's seen anything other than Arum's word about that 8+ Million dollar offer.

I think it's fairly obvious he's being a punk because he has beef with Floyd, so he made an offer (that's more money than the fight's worth) on a date he knows Floyd can't take the fight.

The biggest beef I have, is that IF that offer was legit, Margarito is making PEANUTS.

If that's the case, why does it matter to him if he makes peanuts in Oct or peanuts in November?

Either way he's making the same small purse, so if all he wants is the fight itself, get in the press and call for the Nov date. Talk over and over about how you're willing to step in as the opponent on Floyd's HBO date in Nov.

He's done no such thing.

i think we're all wasting are breath with this because it's not sinking in with these haters, but very good post.

- Margarito fighting in Nov is just as good an option, where he'd make the same money, yet nothing's been said about this

- Floyd could fight in Oct, just like Nov. The offer is good for Oct only, because the T&M is booked in Nov, according to Arum. HBO wants the fight, they could care less as long big fights are arranged on both dates.

- Floyd has said that the missing cornermen are not an issue. Um, you are the one who posted the link, are you not?

- Arum, when he first made the offer, said it has to be for Oct, because it has to be in Vegas at the T&M for the numbers to work and that it wasn't available in Nov. He said that on BT with the initial offer. So I know you have read it, right? You're one of Leon's little groupies, I can tell. LOL

I know that you're going to take up for Mayweather, no matter what, just like Hopkins. You've always been all over their nuts and they can do no wrong. Yes, yes, we all get it. Enough already.

FACT: Floyd has been offered a career-high purse to fight the most dangerous guy at his weight that everyone wants to see, and if he doesn't sign it, then he's dodging him. Simple as that.

I mean, let's all get serious here. Floyd called him "easy work." And has said "If it makes dollars, then it makes sense." LOL Well, add those two up and tell me how Floyd can turn down a career high purse against the guy without it being a dodge? LOL Please, do tell.
