    None of them know. Oh wait they are basing it off of the A level competition Marg has fought and looked good against.

    The only real thing you can argue from a boxing stand point is that Marg has more overall power than Baldi but thats it. At the same time however Baldi is a bigger Man in weight than Marg and he brings a better pressure game than Marg. To me these guys are the same Skill level wise and they both get beat by Floyd.

    On another note Floyd has said he will fight Marg, all Marg has to do is beat one named fighter and then they can set something up on Floyds terms. I dont see what's so hard about that.

        You're right Mayweather's ducking and not fighting top competition, & Margarito has moved on to fight worthy competition, right? LMFAO

          I don't know. I personally don't give a ****. Mayweather is doing smart matchmaking. He could of fought Margarito earlier but he was being smart, much like we usually praise Hatton for making 'smart business decisions'.

          He's fighting "the man" and i'm perfectly fine with that. Now he'll be a LEGIT 3 weight world champ, not 4

            Well it would have been Legit 4. But we can blame Hatton for that now can't we.

              Corely was a tune up to get used to 140 and wasnt a bad fighter to pick for that.

              Bruseles he had to face to place himself in a mandatory position for Gatti's belt.

              Mitchell was to get used to making 147 and fight at that weight. Not a bad opponent to pick.

              Gatti was to pick up a title at 140 which he earned by beating Bruseles in an eliminator.

              n'dou was a #2 guy who put himself in a position for a title shot. Also provided an excellent fight.

              Sosa I have no clue I felt a fight with Lazcano would have been better. Floyd said Paul Spadafora and Dorin didnt want any. But I felt he should of fought Lazcano here. This is really the only fight that really made no sense to me.

                so in other words they fought nobody to get their shot at floyd, but margo has too... its just lame to tell margo to beat a name, before floyd will fight him, when floyd has been fighting guys that are much inferior...

                  no you can't blame Hatton really. Don't believe any of those offer stories, they're 90% conjecture, exaggeration and hyperbole.

                  Besides I don't think anybody sensible has a problem with Floyd jumping over one weight class given the circumstances, if he's now going to be the true champ at 147. To be THE champ at 3 weights is pretty damn impressive, RJJ only did 3 if I remember properly (Dariusz M)

                    Well tough shake for Marg. Floyd said after his fight with Gatti I only want big fights from here on out. Marg doesn't fit into that goal of his because he hasn't fought anyone. Tough break. But thats the way it is. What's so hard for Marg to go out and fight a solid fighter with a name? Baldi did it twice.

                      I dont need to believe offer stories when there are plenty of interviews out there with Hattons team saying they didn't want a floyd fight at that time.
