    No i did not forget Mayweather , I just chose not to mention him because he would not have the balls to step in the ring with Antonio in the first place . All the other fighters i mentioned would have gladly stepped up and went to war with Margarito .

    Margarito is very underrated, imo.

    I think the only person that would beat him today is Mayweather. I also think Bradley would be competitive, hes tough enough to hang in there, but I think Margo would be a bit too much for him.

    Everyone else Margarito would have beat up, imo.

    If a prime Margarito was here today, Floyd will just retire. Oh he all ready did when Margarito was primed:lol:.

    One more fight left and that's it(wiping tears):lol:,there's nothing more to prove(wiping tear):lol:.
    In other words (I ain't fighting that thing so I must retire):lol:.

    Looking at the fact that Soto-Karass is in the mix... A well trained Margarito might be hell on the division.

    Mayweather still schools his ass though. Guys like Paulie, Alexander, Garcia, Lopez, Maidana, Marquez, Bradley, etc... would have their hands full.

    Margarito would fall in love with Bradley . He will be willing to go to toe 2 toe with him . This is a fight that will have Margarito smiling from start to finish . Marg TKOs Bradley in 5 . Bradleys immense heart will be his downfall in this fight .

    Ya I think if Bradley underestimated him, and came in to fight him like he did Ruslan, then Margarito dominates. But Bradley has subtle skills when he wants to, and I think if he came at his best, and to box, he makes it competitive, but I think hes too small and doesn't have the pop to keep Marg off him, and Marg probably does stop him late or wins a UD.

    On paper , Mayweather beats Margarito . But the fight never took place , so we will never truly know . I know one thing , Antonio would have been swinging away like a complete animal in that fight .

    I doubt that. People hype Margarito more then any fighter. Shane proved that Margarito has a big issue with fighters his size, fighters that can fight at angles, and box. In a nut shel Margarito can be out smarted and his lack of defense and willingness to try and walk through punches has proven to be his undoing.

    I can not see how it would be any different now, fighters like Thruman, Provodnikov and Aydin would do lots of damage to a wide open Margarito. Especially a hard hitting Thurman who is really Jr middle weight fighter, fighting at welter weight.

    A fighter tuffness the ability to take punishment is like any other physical assets like, speed, and punching power, they can only get you so far and eventually they will fade or you will met someone that will be able to match or exceed you in these areas. When this happens a fighter needs to know how to adapt and rely on his boxing skills.

    When this happen to Margarito the results were total domination, because he knows only one way to fight.

    This^ Because without his beloved plaster wraps he was nothing, his punches had no power. He was a complete fraud, a club-level fighter who made the bigtime through illegal wraps.

    The only thing Shane proved was that he could roid the **** up and whip a guy who had trouble making weight.

    I am sorry but to my eyes Mosley was on that good **** that night all of his fights leading up to and after prove that.
