When did Mayweather stop caring about his legacy?

[Deeznuts]

Mayweather stop caring when he started getting PPVs. If its not PPV is not Mayweather.

Right, I have no idea what you're talking about with the Rita and ****, but you are a ****ing moron and that's that. You took an insult aimed at you and, being the little ***** that you are, actually took it to mean something other than an insult. In other words, you are so desperate for intimacy that you are taking insults from a message board and trying to gleam some kind of come on from them. Don't flatter yourself. Basically, I am and have been telling you to **** off. You are a moron, you're biased against caucasian fighters, and your posts actually detract from the overall quality of this forum. Do me a favor and go post your crap on some other forum like boxrec.com.

I speak the truth, you are well known to nut-hug white fighters only, also you live in the past, you are a young n00b when it comes to boxing, you talk out of your ass about all the past white fighters which you have never seen.

You hate every black fighters, you always talk **** about the current black fighters, I can smell a racist a 1000 miles away.

For your information, I'm half black and half white, but I don't kiss any fighters ass by the color of their skin, the way you do.

if i have to tell you why he should margarito then you arent a fan, you dont know the sport and you dont know whats going on in the sport..ive explained countless times, then you say ****** stuff like"who has margarito beatin besides a green Cintron?".....you're very ignorant Gomez

Charlie, U've never answered what Boxing skills that margarito possesses that will cause floyd problems. U say Margo will KO Floyd, tell me how? U never do, because their is nothing that u have seen about him that suggest that he could. The guy has limited skills. We got limited skills vs unlimited skills, who do u think is going to win?

That is the most simplistic write up of a fight I've ever seen. You could say the same for Baldomir vs. Judah but we know how that one went. Skills alone don't win a boxing match. Things like courage, size, timing, physical ruggedness, and punching power all play a big part in winning a fight and Margarito has all of these things. You don't need to look as pretty as Mayweather does style-wise to be effective.

Listen Floyd is to fast, to defensive and plain out a smarter fighter then Margarito is and if this fight happens it will play out as so! Margarito has done absolutley nothing to deserve a fight with Floyd, and if he wants to fight anybody,he should be trying to fight Paul Williams, or Quintana or Hatton or somebody who wants to fight him at this moment because a Margarito V Mayweather fight isnt going to happen anytime soon, simply because Floyd has money to make and bigger fish to fry, and if Margarito keeps fighting bums and not top 10 guys he shouldnt plain on a fight with Floyd ever!


Margarito has very limted skills people, he doesnt use his height effectively his jab while there isnt effective enough his shots are wide and loop and his only credible wins are against Cintron, ...... who Lujan, Santos.....he lost that um...... who, who has he beat soundly that wasnt Green a bum or had a solid record from fighting solid opposition! The answer is nobody his fought and beaten nobodies!

If he can fight and beat Blad or Williams or Quintana(still green) or Lazcano or Clottey or somebody that caliber who is known to fight there ass off then maybe he can get his 1 and only big money fight with Floyd until then keep the Mayweather ducking Margarito post strong!

All those things like courage and size work against weakminded fighters. Tony is not a HW or even a LHW, he aint that much bigger than Floyd. Timing and physical ruggedness as u call it are skills, but tony want be able to time Floyd, he too slow which also does lil for his punching power, u cant hurt it if u cant hit it, all he has is a 1 punch chance and that aint enough, not against Floyd.

I think Floyd would beat Margarito, but I think this thread was started around the idea that Spinks is simply the wrong opponent. Not saying that Margarito is a better fighter than him or a more accomplished fighter than him. Just that he has certain skills or attributes that Spinks doesn't. IMO, and its just that opinion, Margarito-Mayweather is a more exciting fight and I think more meaningful than Mayweather-Spinks. Why... because although Spinks will yield him a title in his 5th weight division, a lot of media and fans will see this as taking the safe way out (if Karmazin had won against Spinks Mayweather wouldn't have challenged him) against an opponent that lacks some of the skills Margarito has. I guess what I am saying is that it doesn't look good when people are accusing you of ducking someone (Margarito) (not saying I think that) and you fight the anti-Margarito in Spinks.

Exactly right, he doesnt use his height and has zero jab. His naturally bigger frame is nonexistent because he doesnt use it, thats why Paul Williams was allegedly giving it to him in sparring and why he doesnt want to defend his belt against his #1 mandatory. They guy is very limited and has no lateral movement or headmovement. I hardly doubt that one of the most accurate punchers in boxing would not have field day on his head.

I tend to agree that Floyd wouldn't have much trouble with Margarito, but it would be exciting. Check out my post a couple of posts back to see my thoughts on this then let me know what you think.
