Is Margarito so Great or is it Pure Floyd Hate?

[trueboxingfan]

Its a little comical that when Floyd fights guys that "aren't the best competition", its guys with proven records who have only lost to great fighters. Judah lost to Tszyu, Spinks, and Baldy. Mitchell lost to Tszyu, Johnston, and Johnson. Corly, N'Dou, and Sosa had a 94-5 combined record. Yet these guys get dissed because Floyd has haters.

no they were both actually just coming off losses or were just KTFO. thats not hating....doesnt matter what someone career resume looks like that makes them credible its where they are when you fight them, are they old? washed up? recenlty beat by a 16 to 1 underdog?..ya see? that SHOULD makes sense......

"The Legend that is Antonio Margarito!"

Don't we have a variation of this thread every single day?

Bottom line is, Floyd was talking about big money fights, then turns down eight mil. Reputedly.

And it's no good saying Margarito isn't in Floyd's league, because he's not exactly fighting the best out there now, is he? Unless Costa Zoo's Sloppy Seconds tour is the best competition in history and I don't know it.

Who has Margarito beat that's better than Judah? Keep continuing to **** on Zab. It only makes Margarito look worse when you realize he hasn't even fought anyone on that level yet...

yes, you are..that was 140 or even 135..not sure. this is 147..ive seen N'dou fight 1 time..there is a reason for that......Marg was ranked #1 at welter..just cuz Ndou is tall doesnt mean anything. Corrales is just as tall.

im not talking about websites trashing Floyd..at all.....im talking bout boxing experts, go to espn.com or something..ring magazine or HBO

LOL. Did you just tell me to go to ESPN.com for boxing experts? Don't forget Ring Mag has PBF ranked #1 in the P4P. I'd appreciate if you read what I wrote and not what you wanted me to write. I compared 3 things: height, KO power, and pressure. Whether a fighter is at 130 or 175 if he is 6' tall then he is 6' tall. If he applies a lot of pressure then he applies a lot of pressure. If he has power then he has power. The point I was trying to make by that was that a lot of Floyd haters had N'Dou knocking Floyd out in that fight. PBF was supposed to crumble under N'dou's pressure and get knocked out by his great power. It didn't happen that way.

See, I don't go in for terms like "nuthugger" and "hater". I think you can see boxing from an ADULT, objective perspective. I actually think Floyd is one of the most talented boxers on the planet... but his competition since 2002 has been below par for his ability and scarcely competitive. So does that makes me a nuthugger or a hater? Or am I a nuthater?

Bottom line is, while styles make fights, Floyd is P4P No.1. He's just beaten Judah by UD, though we saw Baldy (who isn't even in the P4P rankings) do that, and rock Judah. Before that he beat Mitchell. Yet we saw Zoo beat Mitchell in a third of the time, and he's not in the P4P either.

In fact, the Judah issue is the biggest bone of contention. HBO are serving us up a PPV for a bout for a non-existent belt with a man who isn't even champion any more. That whiff of promotional bull**** sticks any closer to Floyd and it's getting dangerous...

See, this is where you need to read what I said.

I said that Mayweather talks about only wanting big money fights. He got offered eight mil to fight Margarito. If Margarito is so unworthy and so easily beatable, then why not take the money?

agree 100%



too bad we are just haters..

BTW..i predicted Floyd crushing Zab..it was VERY logical..and i was rooting for him while he did it.

It doesn't do as much for his legacy as beating the Champ at the same weight for the same money.

I think most just want to see Mayweather lose and they want to believe that Margarito is the man to do it.

I strongly disagree with that though.
