Fact, but still Floyd never fought Margo when he was on the ranks of the best welter out there (prior to sanctions over hand wraps). Instead of fighting the best, he fought Baldomir in 2006 when guys like Cintron, Williams and Cotto are flooding the ranks of welters.You got the facts a little twisted bruh..
Floyd declined a bout with Margarito because Arum wanted options on his next few fights.. FACT..
Thats a fact but not entirely.Floyd been done calling out Cotto in the mid 2ks but Cotto declined claiming that he's still " GREEN " which is bullshit.. Cotto did attend Floyd/Gatti to scout Floyd but by the 5th round, his face was all pale and green and shit like he had just seen the ghost.. Then he had a change of heart and decided not to face Floyd..
It was Cotto who calls out Floyd for a unification bout at Light welter when Floyd won over Gatti. Cotto has been keeping the WBO belt (he defended his title all by KO/TKO, which includes ChopChop Corley) while Floyd just won the WBC belt from Gatti. On that night Cotto was there to anticipate that Floyd will call him out, but no, it never happened. Floyd after sensing an inevitable head on collision with Cotto, he then jumps into the next weight class to fight Mitchell. Great move or should I say duck. Truly, his defensive skill spans even outside the boxing ring.
Cotto stayed for another 3 compelling fights on light welter before moving up to chase Floyd in 2006.
