    Yes it was smart business from Arum.

      Fan talk, tell me you think Margarito was the same version you're talking about, that sloth wouldn't have put a glove on Floyd, especially in a 24 ft ring that Manny had.

      Just some of the minor details I'm referring to earlier.

        We are talking prime Margarito, May would not have been able to hurt him. The distance control, the pressure, the size advantage, relentlesness. There is a reason your man opted to fight Baldomir for the same amount and never looked in the rear mirror again.

        In fact, I don't even blame him, but facts are facts.

          May didn't have to hurt him he was too slick and Margo was too slow, he ain't my man I just feel he would beat him just like he beat Baldomir on his toes and never touched.

            Let me ask you this question:

            They were in the same weightclass, the same age, same era, yet they never fought ???

            Why is that ? Who ducked who ? Why have they never fought ? Bad business ? Or chicken fighters ?

            Then which of them is the chicken ? May or Marg ?

            Just a simple question.

              Very true, but he threw Cotto under the bus with Manny, he pressed him to accept the CW while Cotto didn't even want to put his title on the line with a CW, the irony was Mosley was begging at the time for Manny, even said he would go to 143 and Roach said something along the lines of your to good and not Cotto who he said was damaged goods, and then Mosley was beaten by Floyd and drew with Mora they then said ok weight doesn't matter 147 is fine, they managed Manny great there is no doubting that, his public appeal allowed anything to slide on by.

                Well yeah ofcourse, they weren't sure of Manny powers at the time against the big guys so it made sense to first go for Cotto and then go for the others. That does not mean that the demolition of Cotto wasn't a feat on itself. Also stop ignoring my previous post since you are the one that goes into this discussion again.

                The way he beat Cotto send shivers down the spine of the WW division, including your idol. The CW was in practice only a meager 1 lbs since Cotto came in at 146 for fights anyway.

                  You know there is sht ton of reasons why fights don't happen look what we are going through now, its never been any different, at that time Floyd was buying out his own contract, Ive said all along the top guy cannot fight everyone, and for everyone they don't fight you will always fans of that guy or haters of the other calling duck, its just the way its always been.

                    Fought Baldomir for the same amount. And never looked back. Radio Silence.

                    No explanation to 'the fans'.

                    It was because prime Marg was about to make him look vulnerable on National TV.

                      If you understand anything about boxing then you know that prime Margarito is a much much better fighter than Maidana is or ever would have been, at that type of fighting.

                      Basically prime Margarito would demolish prime Maidana at his own game, every time.
