being the greatest doesnt mean being the wealthiest ... I hope your a young cat breh you must be broke
nikkas like you get cleant up for free
....you're comprehension skills suck. I never mentioned anybody's wealth. I said its a buisness first. As much as we would like to think its all bravado and guys just say "hey lets fight"....its not. They negotiate everything from style of glove, size of ring, who name is mentioned first in the promotion, who walks out first, etc. It was like that before Floyd got there and most likely will be that way for awhile. My only dog I have in the "who's getting wealthy" fight is that I don't understand how black men can be short sighted and fall into the trap of calling world class fighters who fight for a living, cowards because they wanna maximize their earning potential. You can't see the forest from the trees. Oscar wanted Floyd and couldn't get him because Floyd was in a contractual situation that didn't allow for it. Was Oscar a coward for controlling his own profit earning ability that he earned in the ring? No. And I didnt hear latino's or other minorities calling him a coward for it either. And once Floyd bought out his contract, he got Oscar. Same with Floyd and Cotto. Top Rank sold y'all on the fact the fight couldn't be made because Floyd was "scared", yet once Cotto contract was up, they fought. Its a BUSINESS! Only a few "rabbits get the gun" in the boxer-promoter relationship. And I applaud those like Oscar and Floyd who know their worth and won't be dictated to by promoters who wanna screw you with paperwork and snatch larger percentages just for handing out flyers....clown.This logic is faulty
Antonio Margarito DESTROYED Sergio Martinez, who KO'd Paul Williams, who DOMINATED Winky Wright, who beat Shane Mosley in back to back fights.
Does that mean Margarito shouldn't have fought Shane Mosley?
...I wasn't talking about "triangle theories". The cat I responded to suggested that fighters keep their "0" by taking the path of least resistance. I simply stated that Floyd did not fight Margarito but fought the man who straight battered him. I'm only suggesting that if you fight someone who just battered the supposed "boogie man", then choosing the path of least resistance isn't really true. He chose to fight the better fighter of the two. That doesn't sound like someone who only fight people he know he can beat as that guy suggested.
Frazier never KO'd Ali...
