No "Sugar" Coating.... Mayweather Jr. is terrified of Margarito

[El Jesus]

of course he would and i know how things ****in work but like someone said up above it is Arum who is instigating ( partially ) this whole mess and you cant blame Margarito for all of it. So your saying he is not in a legitimate marketable position right now? What happens if he beats Judah or Mitchell? FLoyd is still gonna avoid him and he's back to where he started.

Even if floyd avoids him if he beat judah/paul mitchell/quintana at least Margarito has a legit argument. Right now he doesnt. Either way this proves that the article you posted is a bunch of bull**** because your awknowledging that this is one big game to lure mayweather into the fight. So that article is really just a bunch of crap.

He needs Mayweather now! **** the months in between fighting tune ups and B class fighters like Mitchell and Judah etc.

Hes not going to get Mayweather now.
Fight a legit opponent in the meantime.

Found this article. Little bit long but but a good one. Oh by the way I totally agree with it 100%. Just more excuses from Floyd.




Does Floyd Mayweather Jr give a rat's ass about the Fans? Just who are the fans anyway? The Fans are the ones who make boxing possible. Without their voice and appreciation for the sport...one can assume the Sport of Boxing would have been banned years ago by Politicians and the rest of the General public who could care less about a savage sport we call a "science."

For pretty much months now fans have been clamoring for Mayweather to put the Fan's money where his mouth is and fight Antonio Margarito. Of course many believe Mayweather Jr is in fear of Margarito, and watching Mayweather come up with reasons not to face Margarito for a whopping 8 million dollars, solidifies to many fans that Mayweather is
in fact terrified of Margarito.

If Margarito was an easy challenge and Mayweather was sure of the outcome, he'd go on and take the money and run.

Quoted in the Las Vegas Sun, Mayweather had this to say about Margarito: "Look at Antonio Margarito, how can you possibly sell a pay-per-view with a guy like this?

First of all, someone needs to tell Mayweather at this point its not about the PPV numbers, and Mayweather does not need to worry his pretty little head about who is going to buy...because the 8 million is already on the line. Second, the more Mayweather kicks and screams that Margarito is not worth an 8 million dollar challenge, the more and more fans will come to the conclusion that Mayweather is nothing more than a "FRAUD." Mayweather's name outside of the Sport of Boxing is NO Bigger than Margarito's. In fact outside the world of Boxing, I am willing to bet more Mexican American's know Margarito than the African American population knows who Mayweather is. Outside of Boxing, Mayweather is unknown.

More pathetic lines from a scared man...Mayweather quoted by the LV Sun said: "Antonio Margarito's got four losses on his record to journeymen. He's got one world title, he fights straight up and down, no special effects, and you talk about wanting to get in there with a guy like me? I've got way too much for him. Get some more world titles under your belt, get some much more known opponents, then pick up the phone."

Never mind the 8 million on the line, never mind the fact that Mayweather looked less than Pound forPound when he fought the newest Journey man in Zab Judah. Zab's loss to Carlos Bladomir meant nothing to Mayweather and in return Maywether vs. Judah meant nothing to the fans. Mayweather's stock plummeted when he took on the extremely worthless Judah. At the point Judah lost to Bladomir, he became levels below Margarito. You can not say Margarito is not worthy but still go ahead with the fresh loser in Judah. Margarito will raise Mayweather's stock...Judah has lowered it.

Now it seems Mayweather is trying hard to save face and possibly his ailing career by wanting to ignore Margarito and fight "Sugar" Shane Mosley. It won't work.

Mayweather needs to listen to the fans, and read what the most important writers in the industry are saying about him. If Mayweather wants to read "nutt-hugging" articles about his pathetic career, and talk to only small worthless websites that throw roses and kisses his way...then his popularity will suffer. It is suffering today, and eventually at this rate it won't take long until fans go elsewhere to pop down their money and support.

Mayweather needs to stop making excuses why he is not fighting Margarito. Just admit to fans he is terrified of Margarito. A true Pound for Pound King would not turn down popular demand and make excuses why he isn't fighting Margarito for 8 million. After all, Mayweather is not in a place in his career where he can outright say he is more deserving than any other fighter.

For me and judging by message boards and what others are writing, Mayweather is terrified of Margarito. By wanting "Sugar" Shane over Margarito, Mayweather can "Sugar" coat his problems all he wants.... but at the end of the day, Fans will not forget, and the name of "FRAUD" will stick.

this article is a big joke..majority of the "fans" dont know who antonio margarito is..if i didnt have a computer i wouldnt know who he was

[Bonafide]

I dont blame him for going along with arum, that doesnt mean that he is deserving or that floyd is afriad which is the entire point of your argument and the argument of the article. DLH and Vargas came up by taking fights with contenders, even Vargas as much as i cant stand him, was an olympian, fought guys like Quartey/Wright/Campas. Why is it that DLH/Vargas could get fights with contenders but Margarito cant? Vargas was far more dangerous than Margarito, yet people took fights with him, so why cant Margarito get that?

Your aknowledging that Arum is playing media games to put a mexican superstar on top, your awknowledging that his fanbase is next to ****, your also letting me know that you agree he doesnt have next to any legit contender wins on his resume. So basically your agreeing with me weather you want to or not that Margarito IS NOT deserving and this is all a huge media ploy to get him the money.

Your saying he wont get what he deserves by fighting the above, thats just dillusional, thats like saying "WELL IF THE MIAMI HEAT BEAT PISTONS, THEY WONT GET THE LOVE THEY DESERVE FOR BEATING DALLAS". Doesnt that sound rediculous? Read what you said over again and youll see what i mean.

whoa there...I never said he was afraid of Margarito. The article said that and I agreed with it. Big difference. I DID NOT write that article. If i was saying he was afraid i would have wrote up an article myself.

Bonafide, I could not have said it any better myself. There is no need for me to post anything else on this thread. Of course you will have the Floyd nuthuggers with there bliders on defending him like the little ***** he is. I was not a hater of Floyd but the recent garbage and comments he threw at Mosely threw me over the edge. I just think he can't stand to not have alll the attention and has to attack Mosely to try to get it back. I am not a Mosely fan, but I guarantee Mosely is not ducking him. Mosely has never ducked a challenger in his career, and eventhough I am not a Mosely fan I respect him.

Mayweather is trying to publicly presure Shane into accepting a fight on PBF's terms. It's exactly the same thing Margarito is doing with Floyd.I don't think it's a case of anyone ducking anyone. It's just everybody involved is looking after their own interests and will use the media to enforce it.

Thank you. You have hit the nail right on the head. Welcome to professional boxing people. Even as a fan I can admit that the sport has taken one too many pages out of the WWE operations manual.

[MrFactor]

If tony was to beat up on Carlos Quintana and Paul Williams, he'd get exactly the same amount of credit as he's being given for beating Kermit Cintron. Which amounts to little to none. Both of the aforementioned guys are prospects, that we didn't know about until the last month or so. Bottom line is this. 8million + PPV upside, no strings, easy work. No brainer. Both Floyd and Tony are available for Nov 4th. Tony wants the fight. It appears that Floyd doesnt't. For the record, I pick Tony to KO Floyd, so you all know where I stand.(new to this board)

[{BrownBomber}]

I'm not sure how scared he is, he went right up to Margarito at the post-fight presser for Vargas-Mosley 2 and told him flat out to stop disrespecting him in the media because he is the person that will make him a multi-millionaire when they fight. Our guy said it was more of an arguement, but Floyd tried to downplay it.

I bet he was all by himself to.....
