Ok. I'm to tired to go into that numbering business but....

There is no problem with Floyd facing Zab. Floyd was already signed onto the fight, and it was scheduled. New York really wanted to see the fight and so did HBO. That's why that fight happened and I don't remember to many people having problems with the fight.

Margarito is well deserving of his shot. But not on April 8. Margarito was locked into a date just a month and a half prior to that and Floyd was locked into April 8. The time when the cries for Margarito to fight Floyd really intensified for Floyd's November date. That's when both were free and really heightened when reports came out that Floyd was going to square off with Cintron. But Floyd did the right thing and faced the one guy with more legitimacy then Margarito, Baldomir. The linear champ. That wasn't exactly a travesty imo as it was a legit fight and I know that Floyd was uncomfortable with his situation with Arum. And for whatever reason he just didn't want Margarito at that time. I wouldn't necessarily call it ducking though. Especially when he bipassed Margarito for the linear champ.

Judah is the guy who did the real ducking. And who did Margo beat? Cintron was very highly rated at the time and the undercard of that ESPN PPV was bigger then the Mosley main event. Funny how that fight slipped everyone's memory.

As for no one wanting Margarito. I'll give some perspective. When Mayweather went on the Rome is Burning show on ESPN, a mainstream television program, one of the first questions he was asked was about Margarito. Floyd said that Margarito wasn't enough of a name but he was a big enough name to the producers. And every week on ESPN it was discussed on FNF, it was almost a soap opera. Brian Kenny was pretty vocal about Margarito being the worthy challenger as were others in studio. The Ring had Margarito as a worthy challenger and it was a fight that set the internet a buzz. Margarito has a huge mexican following and I'm not going to debate fan numbers but to say Margarito brings nothing for Floyd is absurd and completely off base. Floyd would certainly bring more, especially in terms of status but it wouldn't be the Floyd Mayweather show, not by a long shot.

Everyone is getting a bit carried away as most always do on this topic, but there wasn't any real "ducking" and Margarito isn't any sort of a "nobody." Nobody is debating Floyd's status as number 1 pound for pound and the demand for a Margarito fight wasn't derived here at Saddo's.
