So did Mayweather officially duck Margarito now that it's over?

[cortdawg25]

Zab was the only former WELTER champ or title holder that floyd has fought

Thats 1 more than Margarito. LOL, this is hilarious! Again, what makes Maragrito the best at 147?

[charlie31]

He has only had 2 fights at welterweight and when the fight was set up Zab was the undisputed champ. He could have changed to fight Baldomir after Judah lost but that wasn't what the majority of fans wanted.

they werent true boxing fans...they were probably the same ones who order wrestle mania.i would have rather seen Floyd vs Baldi...he deserved the payday.he is the undisputed "champ"..duh

[DiegoFuego]

You know, Mayweather did beat Judah, who beat Spinks. Judah was the man until he lost to Baldomir. At that point, I think Judah should have been the #2 guy at welterweight behind Baldozar. Then Mayweather beat Judah to jump him, which probably should have made Mayweather the #2 guy. Margarito should have been a consistent 3rd through all this.

Oh I feel you. If your BEST win is against a prospect who was basically unproven against superior opposition, your resume needs work. His fans and promoter would have you believe that every fighter in the world under 160 has been ducking him. Apparently Baldomir backed out of a fight against him last year (but I don't actually know what happened). For all I know maybe all of the welterweights are ducking him.. maybe that is why he fought Daniel Santos at 154.

Maybe they are all ducking him and thats why he moved up for that 1 fight and wasnt that succesful. So why dont u fight other contenders and make yourself mandatory, if u that avoided, make it so that u cant be avoided. What has he been doing the last 4 or 5 years, tuning up?

And that is totally acceptable. Personally I am a boxing fan and AT THAT TIME would rather have seen Mayweather-Judah. It seemed like when focused Zab had the tools necessary to give Floyd problems and I didn't know anything about Baldomir other than he beat Zab when it appeared Zab was totally out of it. In restrospect I definitely would rather have seen Mayweather-Baldomir but hindsight is 20-20

His managerial team is retarted or something. They aren't even pursuing proper avenues right now. Clearly the best move for Margarito is to secure a deal to fight Baldomir at any cost (take less money etc). This totally screws Floyd over because Floyd will have no viable opponent at 147. Even if Floyd moves up to 154, its only temporary. If Floyd wants to fight at 147 after, Margarito will be the undisputed linear champ. No avoiding him if you want to be considered the best at 147. If Floyd then moves to 140 then I will know he is ducking Margarito.

dude I couldnt of said it better. If u want mayweather, do something besides saying your the best at 147. Its 1 thing to have once done something and say you're deserving, but Margarito aint even never did nothing significant to warrant all this attention. I'm all for the Rocky Cinderella man stories and all, but u cant call out the best in the sport and u aint accomplished nothing. Its one thing if Floyd gave him a shot, but its another thing to call him out when u undeserving and offer little.

Margarito's management need to stop looking for Mayweather and build up a name on fighting other good opposition. He can fight undefeated fighters like Paul Williams (who publicly wants to fight him), Ricky Hatton. Or good opponents like Judah or Baldomir. Obviously, he's been trying to hard to cash in on Floyd. If he makes a name for himself (like Winky) he can't be denied.
