    Really? How good was Margarito at 135?

    Trolling aside, Margarito =
    - Better than Maidana
    - offers that stylistic threat
    - bigger frame than Maidana
    - VERY HIGH PUNCH OUTPUT and stamina (where Maidana fails). Just relentless aggression.
    - No one knew about the handwraps when Mayweather avoided him by going into retirement.

    Margarito would have been favored to beat Mayweather.

    What short memories people have. Who did Tony actually beat to suggest he would have won this fight? That's without all the cheating allegations. I know, I know it's fun to say X fighter Floyd never fought would have smashed him but we all know that it isn't really the case.

    Marg loses 12-0 to a prime Floyd with everyone then screaming that he ducked someone else to face a slow, punching bag.

    You do realise the version of Mayweather Maiden fought was much older, slower and quicker to gas than any potential version Tony would have taken on right?

    People always pit the worst version of Mayweather against the best version of his opponent in hypothetical matches. I guess he should take it as a compliment really.

    Thanks to a sophisticated doping program, Floyd hasn't declined much over the years. He looked BLAZING FAST in Pac and Berto fights.

    Another bitter know nothing fool still losing sleep form May 2nd 2015.:lol::rofl JLC is way better than Margo the very fact you bring up JLC shows who little you know about the sport.

    You need educated pressure not uneducated to trouble PBF. JLC was an educated pressure fighter who had subtle defense worked behind the jab cut the ring to get inside and work the body and was probably the best body puncher in the game back then. JLC is arguably the best LW of his era his resume speaks for itself. Whereas Margo was never seen as the best of anything other than taking prolonged beatings losing to the likes of Rodney Jones and loading his gloves.

    Margo is an uneducated pressure fighter the kind PBF loves who had no jab no defense slow as **** he looked to walk through his opponents with his chin and overwhelm them with stamina workrate and size that's it. You will not beat PBF without a jab I can not stress how important that is it disrupts his rhythm and keeps him honest . This is the same type of fighter that PBF always gets accused of fighting, no speed no defense Mexican style the only reason you bring him up is because Arum built him up and PBF didn't fight him infact had he fought him he wouldn't even be worth talking about.

    PBF tees off on Margo with speed, counters him to hell and back and is gone before the mummy plodder could even react. You cant draw up a scenario that Margo could beat PBF other than PBF breaking his hands from hitting Margo with so many flush straight right hands. In the end Margo is too slow and unskliied to do anything to PBF his workrate will be lowered he'll hit air all night and unlike other fighters PBF doesn't fade and has ATG defense. The difference in skill and reflexes is too great not to mention Margo's a slow starter. PBF would shut his ass out and probably set a compubox record in the process of power shot % landed, easy work.:deal
