    WBC insists that Mosley publicly apologize to the organization, for taking on Antonio Margarito, instead of fullfilling his champion's obligations.

    http://blog.thesweetscience.com/2009/11/04/wbc-wants-apology-from-mosley

    This is one of the rare episodes, where I applaud a decision, taken by a sanctioning body.
    The fight with Margarito was of no consequence, seeing as Margarito is a poor man's Baldomir without loaded gloves.
    So, Mosley either apologizes and has a fight with Berto, or he must wait until PBF is done beating down the winner of Cotto-Pac.

    Actually Margarito was seen as a monster prior to the gloveloading episode being found out. He battered Cotto and looked to be the real deal.

    If Mosely has to apologize then I think it's only fair that Floyd should have to apologize to the entire Welterweight division.

    No, he wasn't.
    He was seen as a fraud and I (among many other people) called him as such years before the glove episode became public knowledge.

    Only after Tszyu apologizes for taking on old featherweights.

    Only a Mayweather fan would think it good that Mosely apologize for fighting a guy that Floyd so blatantly ducked. Mosely shouldn't apologize for anything, he's the true welterweight champion. As for mentioning Kostya all the time, I'm not sure why you keep bringing him up unless you and Floyd are trying to build him up for Floyd's next PPV extravaganza!

    Why Dympeople, Tszyu shouldn't have to fight a welterweight monster like Marquez, Tszyu never fought as high as Marquez, and Juan Manuel shouldn't bully junior welterweights it's as simple as that, we have weight divisions for a reason.

    Should he have fought Calvin Grove or Juan La Porte, though?

    They weighed in at 140lbs Dympeople, how does a featherweight do such a thing?,.. Juan Manuel Marquez,.. 145 - 147 range,.. my god!!.. Tszyu's never been that high at a day before weigh in, that tells us that Marquez is a monster,.. dont you agree Dympeople?.. Marquez is a welterweight force, dont you agree? :dunno:

    How ridiculous that any sanctioning body would ask a fighter to apologize.

    No, they didn't.
    In fact, Calvin Grove has never fought at 140 lbs before, being previously knocked out at super-featherweight and lightweight 11 times in a row, before his fight with Tszyu (it was also the last fight of Grove's career).

    I assume Calvin weighed in at 126 Dympeople, a featherweight verses a junior-welterweight is the only explanation,.. if gigantic Juan for example fought Tszyu, they wouldn't let him get away with weighing 145lbs on the scales Dympeople oh no,.. not a man who's ready at a 145lb fit-weight for a top class clash,.. Juan Manuel better stick to men his own size, so that presents an exciting avenue, here are some matches we can all look forward to,.. Marquez - Mosely, Marquez - Cotto, Marquez - Clottey, Marquez - Cintron, Marquez - Berto,.. mouth watering, you dont have a problem with this, .......do you Dympeople?.. [​IMG]

    Not only that, but he was previously knocked out 11 times in a row at lower weight classes, before Kostya fought him.
    Why do you think Kostya fought such a bum?

    You called the plaster wielding version a fraud, which is ridiculous. The plaster wielding version of Margarito was indeed a monster. He knocked out Cotto.

    11 losses?.. Calvin Baldomir Grove?.. Carlos?.. no sorry, it's Calvin, I see what you mean Dympeople sorry about the mispronounciation. [​IMG] Dympeople if Juan were to ever fight Tszyu, Tszyu has every right to request a catchweight, Marquez MUST drop the weight, 142lb's no if's or buts and then, maybe, they can fight,.. if... Juan refuses to drop the weight, then he is commiting a disgusting outrageous felony, don't you agree Dympeople?..

    according to you, Sharmba Mitchell, who PBF faced at 147 at the tail-end of his career, was a lightweight. :atu:

    No,no, no, Kauki, unlike Baldomir, who knocked out 11 opponents in a row, Grove got knocked out 11 times in a row.
    See the difference?

    No, Sharmba Mitchell was an insignificant bum, a tune-up PBF took (and was rightfully criticized for).
    Kostya Tszyu, on the other hand, had career-defining fights (as in, multiple fights) with the same Mitchell.
    Can you imagine what Floyd's career would be like, if his defining fights were with Sharmba Mitchell?
    Thankfully, Floyd fought a much better level of opposition.

    Yes Baldomir had incredible thunderous pop, which is why the PPV for this epic event for Pretty Boy, was named 'Pretty Risky' and an 8 million and 1 dollar sum to be had upon completion, the Baldomir victory coupled with the Judah victory nominated Floyd for fighter of the year shortlist honours to cap off a much celebrated year in boxing history.

    Nothing at all sounds strange about that Dympeople, few could argue, the shutout loss to Vernon Forrest and a majority decision loss to,... um,... somebody who doesn't quite spring to mind, was just the natural decline of a former great champion, it happens to the best of them, it's fair to say, and I love to say this, that FLOYD FOUGHT AND DEFEATED A PRRRRIMMME BALDOMIR!!!!... :lol: pardon me,..it gives me joy, to do this,..and to build it up to it's juicy, sensational peak.

    Comparing to Calvin Grove, who was brutally (and repeatedly) knocked out at featherweight, before fighting Kostya, Baldomir sure did KO 11 opponents in a row.

    No he didn't and Grove doesn't even have 11 KO losses on his record.

    Floyd's meaningful fights:

    He beat 125-lb Marquez at 144-lbs and he still didn't come in at weight. Marquez ate 42 cheeseburgers and drank 2 gallons of urine the day of the weigh in and still came in under the weight

    He beat Ricky Hatton who only had one win at welter and that was Collazo if you call that a win

    He beat Oscar who was on a hot 2-2 streak with one of his wins against Sturm if you call that a win

    He did beat the legendary Baldomir however even though Carlos had lost to half the population of Argentina

    He beat Judah "know what im saying" after Zab 'know what i'm saying" just lost to the above legend "know what im saying"

    He beat Mitchell in 6 rounds a year after that over-rated featherweight fighting Zoo beat him in 3 rounds

    He however did beat Castillo and Corrales back in 1956 so that should sustain everyone

    Mitchell was an accomplished fighter at 140 and was favored by many to win the rematch. He never did shit, however, at 147. In that sense, Mitchell is similar to PBF.

    After being brutally knocked out at 135 by such noted power-punchers as Stevie Johnston and Leavander Johnson??
    You're aware that Stevie and Leavander has combined 7 knockouts between them, and both of them were able to KO The Mighty Sharmba at 135?

    They actually have a combined 44 KO's between them.

    Try again.
