Margacheato - Arum fighter. Same with Cotto. Once he paid Arum almost 800K to get out of his contract, you honestly think he would fight any Top Rank fighters? I mean, they tried to give him eight million to fight Margarito, who was a flawed fighter sans the loaded gloves. We seen how his career went after Richardson found the bricks in his gloves. Dude made that fighting Baldomir and then 25 million fighting Oscar. You lose Arum. Soon as Cotto left Arum, he fought him in Cotto's weight class - 154. As for Manny, you're right, it was both ways but at first Manny was willing to fight him then Floyd threw steroid allegations. That was the ultimate move in boxing history. Finally when Manny agrees to the drug testing he wants 80-20%...Floyd is a pussy and always has been. Not because he will lose but because he doesnt want to fight a challenging opponent.
Vernon Forrest ...... lol ...... Forrest was two or three divisions higher than Floyd. When Vernon was at 147, Floyd was fighting at 126 and 130. And when Floyd did eventually get to 140, Vernon went to 154.
Mosley was the one who made the huge jump to fight boxing's cash cow De La Hoya by going from 135 to 147 to get that payday. That's when Floyd was fighting Corrales and Castillo twice at 130 and 135. Nice payday for Mosley but it caught up with him because while at 147, dude had a record of 1-4 and a no contest in six fights. This happening while Arum has Floyd fighting Chop Chop Corley, Victorino Sosa and whomever the Henry Bruseles is. But isn't it ironic that when Shane destroys the most feared man in boxing, Margacheato, then fights Floyd, he's considered old?
Now Paul Williams, I can agree with you on. He was promoted by the Goosen-Tutor. While he was fluttering around and making Hatton come up from 140 and taking damn near two years off, he could have been squaring it up with Williams.
As far as Manny goes, it was both sides, not just Floyd. From Floyd's drug test demands and not taking any of the PPV revenue to Arum's Manny needs 7 months for cuts to heal, both parties ed up that fight.
As far as Martinez goes, they'd have to meat at a catch weight. Prolly 154 but I don't see Floyd fighting Martinez. If everything goes to plan, he'll beat The Ghost in May and fight Canelo Alvarez in September.
