Re: Margarito vs. Mayweather


It's funny how Mayweather's huggers think he would beat this fighter and that fighter easily. Mayweather himself has turned down the fight twice. Why? What is everyones excuse for Mayweather. There is no excuse! Take the fight, no other major name is available at this time. Why pass up 8 million for a supposed easy payday. The shame about Mayweather is that he thinks being undefeated is all there is to boxing. Love him or hate him, when de la Hoya was Mayweather's age he was fighting guys like Whitaker, Trinidad and Quartey. And you know Oscar knew all these guys could beat him. Mayweather should take a hint from that guys career,instead of following the Roy Jones blueprint who fought a bunch of stiffs and after he got knocked out and beat at the end of his career people were beginning to wonder how good he was in the first place. It's better to take your shot win or lose.

Re: Margarito vs. Mayweather


A little exchange i had with some good for nothing sports writer about this article (http://www.doghouseboxing.com/DHB/Casile_072506.htm

How can you possibly suggest that Margarito is not as good as advertised just because he's had a few losses in his career?
 
a. Margarito was never a protected fighter like Mayweather had been early in his career.
b. The first 3 losses where when he was 16,17 and 18 respectively, against older and with better record fighters.
c. The other loss against Santos was


And your not making excuses? Dont you get it. Bob Arum is setiing this all up. He has not promoted a big fight in awhile. He needs this. Ok, I am interviewing Floyd this weekend. I am going to BEG him to fight this chump. I am going to read him all these emails.

I got kicked out of a chat on boxingtalk.com for asking Floyd why he won't fight Margarito.

Re: Margarito vs. Mayweather


Francisco Espinoza, representante de Antonio Margarito, reveló que en el marco de las negociaciones para que su apoderado enfrentara a Floyd Mayweather, la oferta de Top Rank al mejor libra por libra del mundo, trepó hasta los 10 millones de dolares. 'Definitivamente él tendrá sus razones, aunque yo creo que ni aunque se le aumentara a 12 millones aceptaría pelear con Margarito'- enfatizó Espinoza. Con respecto al malogrado duelo con Winky Wright que en su momento ofreció la empresa Golden Boy Promotions, Espinoza dijo que 'no hubo negativa por parte de nosotros. Antonio Margarito es el campeón welter de las 147 libras de la OMB. Nuestro promotor le ofreció incluso 3 millones de dólares a Winky por esa pelea, pero no en 158 libras como ellos querían, ni tampoco en las 154. Margarito es un welter natural ha sido welter desde el inicio de su carrera y seguramente seguirá toda su carrera. Nosotros no nos negamos a pelear con nadie, que se ponga el dinero y Margarito va contra el que sea pero en las 147 libras. El Programa A LOS GOLPES, que conducen Miguel Angel Cebreros y Bernardo Pilatti, se transmite por ESPN DEPORTES RADIO, de lunes a viernes 7 PM Pacifico/10 PM Este

Francisco Espinoza is Antonio Margarito's representative or one of them and he's basically stating that they even offered Mayweather 10 million to fight Margarito and he still declined the offer, amazing. Also, regarding Golden Boy Promotions offer of puting up Winky Wright, he states that they offered to fight him at 158 oe 154 but that they counter offered with the stipulation of the fight taking place at 147 and they also declined.
