False! When Mayweather was at 140 the Hatton camp said themselves after they beat Tszyu that they weren't ready for Floyd, pay attention.
Margarito is a nobody, how can you duck someone who isn't on your radar?
Tszyu was through ever since Hatton moped the floor with him, at that time Mayweather had just moved up to 140, you're talking out of your ass..

It's a known fact that Bob Arum offered Floyd $8 Million to fight Margarito and Floyd declined in order to fight Baldomir. I do recall Hatton say he wasn't ready. Kostya Tszyu wanted the fight back before he fought Hatton and Stevie Johnston wanted the fight a few years back. Some of this was going on earlier in his career.
this is all truth. what a lot of people dont understand is that boxing is an artform, something that goes back thousands of years. of course they are going to build hype by telling each other they will knock each other out, thats how hype gets built, and hype=money. neither of these two are the types to go in, and start slugging each other trying to knock the other unconscious right off the bat. this wasnt the type of fight where someone would go ddown for an 8 count the first round and then the other go down for 8 count in the second round and so on......it was about boxing in its purest form. to anyone who loves the sport of boxing, this was a great fight..especially watching mayweather. he does everything perfect from the moment he steps into the ring, thats why his record is 38-0.
as far as him coming in to the ring wearing the mexican colors and the sombrero...i thought it was hilarious. i mean, there was about 10,000 jaws on the floor there. he made a huge statement and, if anything, it should have fueled oscar even more. it probably wasnt politically correct, i mean what if oscar came out on martin luther king day in a buncha kwanza type clothing. there would be the same damn public outrage, if not bigger.....but i thought it was genius. a lot of people don't give mayweather credit for how smart he is.......
LMAO
I'm talking outta my ass ?
Tszyu was the divisions true World Champion. And who did Floyd choose to fight instead ? Henry Brussels...LMAO. Then when Hatton beat Tszyu. Hatton was the true World Champion. Did Floyd fight either of these guys...?
No.
And LOL @ Margartio is a nobody. He's a top 3 contender @ 147. Plus, Bob Arum offered Floyd 8 Million to fight him.
Now, if Marg is such a nobody, isn't that easy pickins' for Floyd ? Get in, get out, easy money right ?
Nah...the risk outweighed the benifits...
Why ?
Because he knows Marg poses a threat to him. Just like he knew Johnston did, at the time, as well as Tszyu and Hatton.
Dog, do you really watch boxing or are you just on some Google conquest, trying to dig up facts to back your stupid claims ?
I have tried my best to refrain from having to reply to this post, but after reading several responses I am obligated to make a statement.
Floyd Mayweather has a reputation of waiting his opponents out. Either until they have cooled down, grown old, or are over ranked. I like to look at it as a hunter and prey game in Floyd's eyes, but at times he reminds of a bunny in a bush. Scared to come out until the smoke is clear. Regardless, some people will consider him to be on of the greatest of this era. I have began to accept that those in this era have not been that great in general.
Yours Truly,
