Hall of Fame matchmaker Bruce Trampler was reminiscing recently about a meeting with Al Haymon that took place at Top Rank years ago. Floyd Mayweather was still a Top Rank fighter. Haymon was Mayweather’s advisor.

“Al came in to discuss Floyd’s next fight with Bob [Arum],” Trampler recalled. “They were going to meet in Bob’s office. Al was early. He had a few minutes to kill, so he stopped by my office. And I remember very clearly, Al said to me, ‘I’m going to be talking with Bob about a fight for Floyd. Bob will probably call you in at some point for your opinion. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t mention Antonio Margarito as a prospective opponent.’”

“That was the formula,” Trampler continued. “Al and Floyd were ducking a guy who, at that time, would have been a very dangerous opponent. They knew how to minimize risk versus reward, which, if you’re a fighter or a fighter’s manager, isn’t necessarily a bad thing to do.”

I get that but if past prime MOsley still could beat him easily by your words then why Mayweather wouldn't been able to?

Mayweather couldn't beat Margarito, at any point of Floyd's career, in the fashion and how Mosley did it though. He could've outboxed Margs, yes, but Mosley destroyed Margs...Floyd couldn't ever do that, bc he didn't possess the power to do so.


Imo, again, there's a reason why Floyd and Al Haymon was begging the TR matchmaker to not bring up Margarito.....and if Floyd thought he could really beat him, he would've taken the career high payday and the opportunity to say he beat The Boogeyman. Being that he didn't, history and the facts (from the HOF matchmaker himself) says otherwise.:hubie:

TBH, I didn't know why the article started with Floyd slander out of nowhere:russ:


I thought it was going to be about Floyd/McGregor and the article starts off with "here's even more proof that Floyd ducked Margarito, and it's from the matchmaker himself":dead:
