    Yea floyd accepted JMMs challenge....but he did slip,duck,dove,crawl under etc margaritos challenge right in to his face
    How much money would Floyd make if he fought Margarito compared to other guys he faced instead? Of course everybody wants to fight the bigger name for a nice quick fat paycheck but the big name also wants the same so why not face someone who will bring more to the table? Don't we all do that? Floyd vs Margarito would probably end up like another Baldomir-like fight where you had a slow puncher receiving punches from all angles and running away from danger which is a smart tactic, not everybody's favorite technique but its not illegal either.

    Mayweather has to be more cautious than Manny because he is undefeated, and for some reason everybody thinks he is a natural welterweight, if he beat Magarito like Mosley did, people could simply say Margarito was overrated. If Mayweather beat Cotto the same thing, Mayweather was expected to win. Even in outboxing Oscar, even Jim Lampley stated around round 9, "I knew all along Floyd was going to win, but I am surprised how well Oscar has done to stay in the fight". WTF Mayweather was only a 2 to 1 favorite, Oscar looked great against Mayorga, he was the best fighter Mayweather had ever faced, and it was at 154. Mayweather gets no credit because he is expected to win every fight.

    Difference between floyd and pac is yea floyd is expected to win because he severly selects his oppenent. Pac on the other hand is reckless and on ocassion pac is expected to be kncok the fuck out, bulldoze, pick apart, school but then after the fight happens pac has made another fighter look old.

    For the boxing purists, this is a dream match. For the warriors out there, unless they engage, it will be a "ho hum" fight.

    The purists will say beautiful after every jab, feint, counter punch etc... Posts will fly with words that belong in an art exhibit. Bravo, nice, did you see that move...hmmm dancing with the stars redux?

    The warriors want blood...normally you will hear oooohhhh, oh my goood, Damnnnnnnn, shiitttttt, yahooooooo, did you see that, ahhhhhhhhhhh (pac - hatton, ali - foreman, most of Mike Tysons fights, Vasquez - Marquez, ward gatti, castillo - corrales, most fight od the year candidates)

    Mayweather - Marquez? Beautiful, wow what a move, slick, nice, bravo!!! On to the next round!
