Tell who was Margaritos best win at 147 he had a 147 wbo trinket how is that better then being Lineal champ are you crazy. After he was the man at 147 he moved up and fought Oscar which should be a no brainier because most money was ever going to make. Not to mention the fight with Oscar made Mayweather a star Margarito was not shit back then he was a Trinket holder and he was not even a cash cow what is the point in that fight lets us be real now come on. I mean i don't care for Mayweather but some of you seem to be revising how it was at the time i mean Margarito i always hear his name was nothing back then.
I think your misunderstanding what I was saying. I meant he never fought Margarito, Spinks along with the Baldomir fight. I know Baldomir was champ. Now the thing is Spinks was the champ, Judah beat him, then Baldomir beat him, but instead of just fighting Baldomir he fought Judah I'm not saying fighting Margarito was better than fighting the lineal champ, I'm just saying fighting Margarito was better than fight Mitchell Margarito was the #1 ranked fighter at welter behind champions Spinks and then Judah. OK so Mayweather had his warm-up against Mitchell, what was wrong with fighting the number 1 guy next (Margarito) instead of Judah who was coming of a loss
