Re: PBF v. Mosley would be a big mismatch
cintron is dangerous why, because he was undefeated...he really hadn't beaten anybody either...even judah's loss to Kt was better than TONY beating Cintron...for the fact that judah clearly won the first round against KT..and many believed that had he not pulled a judah and lost focus would won and easy decision...not me though. but that's the logic...even using the beat the man logic...judah beat spinks, who beat mayorga, who beat forrest, who beat shane, who beat ODLH... that still comes out to be more of an accomplishment, if you were to do the same with Tony or cintron's opponents...nobody's asking him to beat one of the guys listed just fight somebody of real note and how he does against them will be the measuring stick of whether or not he gets a shot...i know A beating B doesn't mean A would beat C, but it's just the fact that how you do against a common opponent brings the curiosity, not to mention the public's attention to want to see the fight...if they were just trying to market Margarito v PBF to just real fans, enthusiasts, and writers the arena would be pretty empty...but they're not, and nobody's going pay to see PBF beat a guy they've never heard of...and as far as floyd's legacy goes...think about it like this if you ask any layman who the best boxer was ever...many would say ALI...when all real boxing people know it was Sugar Ray Robinson...If PBF beat up an old ODLH he'd score more credit with the overrall majority than he would for fighting Tony...legacies are not only determined by real students of the sport but those who pay for it as well...this is part of the reason why many still believe tyson (laymen) could be HW champ...because he was sold so well to the layman...
