Margarito should get a fight wit floyd, he was at the top of the division b4 floyd came and now that floyds here he makes it seem like margarito wasnt at the top when he came to the division, whats the big problem, why cant he just fight margarito if he can easily beat him so he can shut everybody up, maybe cause he knows it will be a tough fight and doesnt want that right now, anybody that thinks baldy has a better chance then margarito is not thinkin right, sure baldy deserves the fight floyd b4 margarito because of his latest wins, but after baldomir mayweather should fight margarito, why fight spinks? if he claims that margarito went up to the 154 and couldnt hang and came back down, Spinks went up to 154 cause he couldnt hang at 147, same ****...Margarito fightin williams should be held off, and u see hatton duckin his mandatory and goin back to 140, these divisions are gettin rediculous, they need to just fight eachother and stop makin excuses, everyone...And theres nothin Margarito can do to get a fight wit floyd, floyd said he wants Antonio to beat a big name first, Like who? if he beats judah floyd will say he softened him up and discredit margarito, collazo wont cut it for floyd, neither will quintana or williams, Mosley DUCKED Margarito a Year Ago, De La Hoya dont want to fight him, Winky negotiations fell through, Who Else Can He Fight??? If anything i would play the angle if i were margarito and Beat Spinks b4 floyd trys to fight Corey so then he would have to fight him, but Floyd would once again find a way out of fightin Antonio, This **** is gettin really annoying...Comment

I'm tired of reading threads about Mayweather. I'm glad he's fighting Baldomir, I feel that is probably the best opponenent avaialable to him but enough talk about it. Let's see the ****er fight.
He's fighting Baldomir. Period. End of Story.Last edited by The Troll; 08-23-2006, 01:40 AM.Comment

hmm, if thats true i think pbf needs 2 grow up abitOriginally posted by ferocitySome you you may have also been at the Chat with Floyd yesterday. And one of the questions that was asked to him was "what do you think of Paul Williams?" Floyd responds to this question by saying "who is Paul Williams and what has he done"
Then later on another question about Willimas "When Margarito beats Williams then he has earned the right to fight you?" Floyd then answer again, "who is Williams and what has he done? When Margarito defeats Williams I hope he doesn't think thats enough to earn him a shot at me!"
So all this bull**** talk about Margarito needs to fight Williams to get to Maywether needs to stop. Sure, they will fight hopfully in November, but stop BS'ing that the Williams fight will get him a fight with Mayweather cause even Mayweather doesn't know who Williams is.

At this point, Floyd can just about make up any argument to not fight Margarito, almost no matter what.
If Margarito beats Williams or Clottey, he'll say, "who are they?" So no matter what he does Dec.2 won't be good enough (no bigger names are realistic for that date).
If Margarito beats Judah even by TKO or KO, he'll say "I already dominated Judah and would have KO'd him if not for the low blow".
If Margarito moves up to beat Spinks, a guy Mayweather himself almost signed to fight (and still might in February), he'll say "Spinks got KTFO by Judah whom I dominated".
It'll never end with Floyd. He cleary will not fight Margarito unless he has NO other even somewhat feasible options. Don't get me wrong, if I like the Baldomir fight, I'm glad he's fighting Baldy instead of Spinks and I agree that if fights with DLH or Mosley can be made for early next year, he should make those fights instead of Margarito. Outside of those two fights, though, Margarito--if he can keep winning--deserves the fight. HOWEVER, I will say if a Hatton fight at 140 or a Cotto fight at 147 are makeable, those are more than acceptable fights for Floyd as well.
If he fights Spinks instead, well, see above...he's already beaten Judah who KTFO'd Spinks...it's meaningless.
Boxing is a niche sport these days, no one can deny that. The Internet is a huge part of its popularity because there are forums for boxing coverage that are no longer a part of the newspaper or sports coverage on TV. And, the fact is, Margarito is HUGE on the Internet. Think about this, he's gone from an relatively anonymous welterweight alphabet title holder to the Bob Arum-declared "most feared fighter in the world".
Sure, there are bigger "names" that more casual fans know--the Judahs, Gattis, Mosleys and of course DLHs of the world. But like the previous posters have said, he can't fight Gatti or Judah because PBF has already beaten them, and Mosley wouldn't fight him and DLH won't fight him. Arum won't put his prized Cotto in with him, there's a huge conflict on interest. This isn't Margarito's fault. He's not demanding the lion's share, he just wants a shot.
I wish he would have fought Collazo, but Williams is definitely acceptable. Clottey? Yikes.Comment

Im surprised at Floyd's comments. Williams is an undefeated prospect that has face good opposition and looked good doing it. I think he is in the same boat as Cotto. Cotto has not fought any great opponents neither has Williams but, they both fought good fighters and looked good beating them.Comment

Yeah, Floyd's comments are funny, because even if he doesn't know who Paul Williams is, I'm pretty sure he knows who Sharmba Mitchell is...
Who is he? Do you think Floyd knows who Cotto is? He hasn't fought a "marquee" fighter either.Comment
