If Margarito turns down Clottey or Ouma...

They were options before they said no. And Mosley is still an option. His excuse (which you don't consider a duck) was that he had a vacation planned???? After everbody said no then he was in a different position. Baldomir or Margarito. NO ARGUMENT that Margarito is a better fight. But it just isn't a duck in my mind because Floyd has said he will fight Margarito eventually when the time is right. If the fight was worth 8 million now then it couldn't be worth less in a year. Sure I am frustrated that the fight isn't happening now, but I am not going to bring down a great talent because he doesn't do exactly as I want him to.

he never said he would fight Marg "when the times was right", He said on Quite Frankly that "Amagnin's Mom and step cousin doesnt know who Marg is, so I wont fight him."

YOU think he is a joke . Floyd doesnt, thats for sure.

How does it feel to be one of 30,000 people to watch Margarito-Gomez?

Floyd is ducking one man. Margarito is ducking half of the top 10 at welterweight (and would be ducking the other half too if they called him out).

Floyd doesn't fight Margarito and decides to fight the lineal welterweight champion of the world.

Margarito doesn't fight Floyd and decides to fight another prospect. This is why Margarito is a joke and gets no respect from me...

How is he ducking half the top 10???
the guys you listed earlier only 1 is listed in the top ten at welterweight.............lol

Watch an interview at a recent fight where Margarito and Mayweather sat together. He pulled the same stunt asking people in the audience if they knew who Margarito was (which they didn't) and then he said "be patient, I'll make you a millionaire eventually" or something like that.

that doesnt change the fact that he is ranked #2 at welter and called out the #1 at welter and offered him more money then he will make fighing Mosley, Spinks , or Baldi and your boy started stuttering and making excuses.......

These threads are getting sickening. PBF is not fighting Margarito in his next fight. Its over, done with, finished. You can only say someone "ducked" a fighter if he went his whole career without fighting him. The truth is, Floyd loves money. We know that and 8 million is a lot. Heres what it comes down to. Floyd knows huge money fights will almost always be there if he plays his cards right. Margarito is completly outclassed by PBF. Though Margarito has punching power and one mistake could put Floyd away. On, the other hand Floyd DOES want to be the greatest of all time. Fighting Margarito at this point and time in a legacy stand point, is rediculous. No one in the public knows Antonio. Almost everyone knows DLH and Mosely. Also, now Baldy since he is an amazing story in boxing. Why risk a chance at securing an AMAZING legacy first, before fighting a guy hoping for 1 punch? 8 Million dollars is A LOT to you and me. But think about it, Floyd is loaded. Hes disguting wealthy. To him 8 million is just another drop in the bank. Legacy and a nice resume come before money. Wether you think so or not. Hes doing what he has to, to get those big names. If he retires without Marg on it, you can call it a duck. Until then, keep your mouth quiet, as no matter how much you whine on these boards, Floyd doesn't care. Flaming him here doesn't make him feel bad.

Bob Arum is a businessman. If he offered Maywether 8mil then maybe big percentage goes to his bank account due to the fact he is going to do the stuff and promote.

Here is something people do not understand about boxing or entertainment. What do you feel if this person is ducking a guy for no reason it will make you wanna it to look forward to the fight more. evidence you could see many thread around here couple of month. So what is the fight if it fought right . 8mil is a lot of money so at least make it worth more because if I am Arum i would hyped up the action to get more than one highlight fighters.

As for Margarito ability his fights will be hand picked so he wont embarss himself if he is going to meet Mayweather and intill then he wll KO bums in the first 4 round to make the hype more intersting. I think Floyd knows that too.

but there is one problem Oscar De La Hayo.

Why? it not reason that ODLH is wanting to fight Floyd but promotional one. ODLH is spoiling Arum party by making his boxers call out Margarito. In that way it would spoil Arum hype party. He wont only loss Margarito but as well as Floyd fight with ODLH fight which will worth much much more if Floyd wins Margarito before these fight win him. Arum will wanna co-promote with GBP and looky looky look how much Arum have made from both fights.

So it just part of business nothing personal,

Here is something that i post earlier and why would it be imprtant for Margarito not to fight both of them.

For Arum to have 2 famous fighter is better than to have one. I think Its bad for business if Mayweather and Margarito fough each other this year for both of them Arum wants to creat both fighters very well and I bet you in the Cosmo fight Margarito is going to KO him in less the 4 round so it could make a shock. but the problem is the other fighter from other promotional companys who is calling out Margarito?
