BOB ARUM SAYS MARGARITO MAYWEATHER IS NEXT

BERT SUGAR ALSO SAID JUDAH IS A TREMENDOUS TALLENT WHO NEEDS TO GET BACK IN THE RING QUICKLY

this was just on espn2

ok then

AND THE NEW WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WOOOOORLD!!!

Are you copying my quote from pre-Judah/Mayweather?

Except it was-And new, IBF. Good call though, I agree that Floyd will beat Tony, probably the same way he did Corrales. Probably not with all the knockdowns, but definately a boxing clinic.

unless he is scared and allows himslef to get hit more then twice :wink:

Good, behind PBF-Hatton this is the PBF fight I most want to see.

I mean this doesn’t mean its gonna happen, but it could and if PBF fought Zab then Margarito what could people complain about in regards to PBF? And I say that as a person who criticized PBF’s opposition ever since the second Castillo fight.

I just wanna see ODLH fight Mayorga before I get excited about a PBF-ODLH fight, and I really don’t care about a Judah rematch, right now Hatton is the best fight out there but Margarito is a very acceptable alternative IMO

Oumafan. Margarito has no chance. His style will make Mayweather look spectacular, and especially the fact that he’s tall. Mayweather dominates tall guys, but the wideness of his shots will make Mayweather look spectacular. Unless Floyd is like Roy Jones in a sense that he’s avoided clean shots his whole career that the crazy one takes him out ;D

In a perfect (possible!) world, it’ll be Margarito then Hatton then cast that Floyd legacy in cement, baby.

I’m not too big on the possible Floyd-ODLH fight at all.
Would be a beautiful name on Floyd’s record, but what would the fight even prove?
That Floyd beat an over-the-hill Oscar?
Or god forbid he loses, the Floyd naysayers will have ammunition for the rest of Floyd’s career.
I don’t see high reward here at all.

Margarito is a great fight for Floyd.
A respected fighter who many believe has the power to hurt Floyd.
And if Floyd walks through the fight looking spectacular like I believe he would, that’s a solid solid victory.
Agreed with unknowndonor. Floyd-Corrales II right here.

I hope Floyd-Oscar never comes to fruition so we could move on to Floyd-Hatton sooner before one of them loses and takes some of the luster out of this matchup.

Why are you bringing up Judah in a thread about Mayweather vs. Margarito?

I for one want Delahoya-mayweather to happen, out of all the guyz out the I believe oscar has the best chance of beating mayweather and since floyd will be the favorite in that fight it will give oscar the extra motivation for the fight and if he upsets him it will cement his legacy as the best of this era.

The complaints, from respected people, such as me ;D will stop.

Unless Mayweather goes on more than a year, 2 years, or 3 years and takes on B-Level Fightes.

Honestly, people think I’m on “haterade” just because I say what I see, Floyd Mayweather has been taking on easy competition for over 3 years.

If Floyd beats Margarito, which I don’t think he can.

You bet your arses, people would be giving him mad credit. Not only fans of Margarito are high on him, but many respected hall-of-famer writers like him too. :cwm15:

That is exactly the reason I DON’T want Floyd fighting Oscar! :slight_smile: (me speaking in Floyd’s favour)
For an Oscar fan this would be a dream fight.
Horrible fight for Floyd fans!
There is just no reward for Floyd in this aside from the money.

Bring on Margarito! I like Tony, but he will lose. As a Floyd fan I want this fight more than the Oscar fight.

As a Tony fan, I don’t want this fight, and I’d rather see him fight Zab or Hatton first.

As a boxing fan in general, this is the fight for the “True, Welterweight Championship”, and I’m all for it.

Floyd by UD.

Preach, brother, preach!

Excellent points again Gyrokai bro CC, not only will the true boxing fans respect Floyd more but sooooo many boxing experts respect Tony, so Mayweather’s ranking will go up if he wins. I expect him to,BUT I also expect him to have to dig deeper than he ever has before!!1 One BIG difference between Margarito and Chico(amongst the hundreds),Tony won’t be weight drained. Floyd was incredible that night against Chico BUT being dropped5/6 times?!Accumulative punishment blah blah,Chico took TONS more shots and heavier shots against Castillo and went down twice only. Floyd is not going to hurt Margarito if he could not hurt Zab,simple as.
Also,people were probably saying the same thing about JLC"oh he will be easy for Floyd etc" but he wasn’t at all,was he>?Make no mistake, Tony IS going to catch Floyd,he does not rely on 1 big punch so the Chico analogies have no basis on fact. The question is how will Floyd react when he is caught? He will never have tasted true 147 power until then!!

That’s the whole thing. Tony will never catch Floyd flush. If he does, it won’t be very often, and Floyd CAN take Tony’s shots. The question is, can Tony take the hundreds of shots Floyd will bang him with? Probably, but that leads to an easy UD for Floyd. People are just hyping this fight because Floyd isn’t as nice as SRL. Floyd will win this fight easier than you expect. Tony, IMO, would beat Hatton, but Hatton will have a better chance against Floyd. Styles make fights, and Tony’s style plays right into all of Floyd’s strengths. Say what you want, Floyd WILL BEAT TONY. No doubt, Tony will give him a run. But, Tony needs a fighter to be in front of him to be succesful. Tyson couldn’t beat Holyfield. Tua couldn’t beat Byrd. Corrales and Castillo couldn’t beat Floyd{yea,yea, Tony is stronger, but Tony is not as fast, or accurate.} If Tony doesn’t catch a lucky shot, Floyd wins 8 of 12 easy. Maybe 10 of 12.

You are missing the point. Why did Castillo do so well against Floyd(and beat him in the 1st fight?) because he came through whatever Floyd had AND he was throwing punches in bunches!! I’m sure if Zab,who hardly had any defence towards the end of the fight(using his shoulder which did not give much protection!)was able to take Floyd’s shots for 12 rounds,Margarito DEFINITELY can and Margarito throws waaaaaaay more leather than Castillo,ergo he will be able to catch him. I’d love Floyd try to do the shoulder roll thing against Margarito,he would get busted up!!! Also,you can’t say Tony needs a fighter to be in front of him,we have not sen him against a real boxer so no-one can say(apart from when he bust Oscar up in sparring).
You’re dam right,Margarito would CRUSH Hatton!!!No argument there. Wel,we shall see,if Floyd does not fight Margarito, we will ALL know that he is ducking Tony.

way too much talk about the first castillo fight. it was the worst night in floyd’s career. how about the second fight? how about the countless other times mayweather has dismantled pressure fighters? why doesnt anyone want to talk about margarito’s worst fights? I think it’s only fair to assume that the fighters will come in to the fight in top condition unless there is any reason to believe otherwise.
