Is Margarito so Great or is it Pure Floyd Hate?

[MindBat]

Still doesn't explian why he turned down 8 million dollars.

Margarito is tough and will test Mayweather and has a great chance of beating him, is all that people were saying back then. And im still saying the same.

And just so you know, i would like Margarito to fight Williams before he fights Cotto. Then after Cotto he'll probably get respect.

I believe the reason PBF turned down 8 mil, is the same reason Marg wants to fight PBF: For the the bigger buck$$.

Against DLH, PBF stands to make (my guess) 15 mil to 20 mil after all is said and done.

I think PBF comes out the winner in this case.

The majority is probably neither. Margarito may be a great fighter for this era but he hasn't fought the best so its difficult to gauge. But even if he isn't great as some people say, stylistically he matches up well against Mayweather and that could certainly make a difference.

Well that would be ****** on Mayweather's part. If he claims to be the greatest of all time and wants to prove it (won't happen), he needs to not always be concerned with 'big bucks' and more concerned about fights against tough competition.

Hard to fight the best competition when guys like Hatton and Mosley are ducking. Margarito is the only one who wants to fight Floyd and it's because he's a nobody with nothing to lose and the million dollar payday would be his biggest by far. If Margarito was a proven commodity, he wouldn't utter Floyd's name...

And Mayweather only wants to fight Delahoya because it brings Floyd his biggest paycheck - lets not bull**** the siutation.

And Mosley has already once ducked Margarito, or more realisticly said, "I wont fight Margarito." And Hatton, Hatton wont fight Margarito. We already know Mayweather wont fight him. Whatever happened when Champions face tough contenders, did Mayweather not read the boxing rules?

Even though he is getting the fight/paycheck he wanted, i have to aleast give him credit for fighting Delahoya, but i still have to ask if the money wasn't there would Flod still fight Delahoya?

........Not this **** again.

Since Margarito is ducking Williams, I think he missed that memo too. You need to STFU already with this **** when Margarito is the biggest hypocrite in boxing today...

Yeah he's the stronges but what does that mean? The strongest doesnt make you special. I think pretty much all WW's are going to be strong to a guy who's not a real WW. Baldy is super strong, Williams is strong, and Callazo is strong.

You have to admit that you werent big on this fight until Floyd turned it down. You never cared much about it or thought that it was such a big deal, right?

You mightve said that it would be a decent fight but it was nothing like "oh, Floyd has to fight Margartio to be considered great"? No one thought about Margarito or the fight like that until Floyd turned it down and now Margarito has turned into Duran & Hagler all rolled into one

Thats actually not true. i did think about this fight before he turned it down. I thought it would be a good fight and a good test for Floyd.

i dont think margo is great, but i i do think floyd deserves the criticism
