    Take a look at Cotto's losses.

    1. He lost to the toughest and most relentless fighter of his era.

    2. He lost to the boxing writer's fighter of the decade.

    3. He lost to an ATG in Mayweather and was competitive even past his prime.

    4. He lost to a Middleweight while being shot.

    He's for real.

    First let's talk about the Maidana fight. Mayweather chose to stand his ground and fight in the first fight. If you're one of those people who think that Floyd was just saying that, then why wasn't Maidana abe to replicate his success in the second fight??

    Second, Floyd was 37 when he fought Maidana. Margarito is 37 now and he just had a fight where he got dropped and looked like ****. Do you think the margarito who fought this weekend could beat Floyd? People need to stop comparing fighters in their prime to Mayweather in his late 30's. I know he's that good but damn.

    Now on to castillo. Nothwithstanding the fact that Floyd easily decisioned Castillo in the rematch, Castillo, while certainly not a slickster, is still much quicker than Margarito, had better defense, and better footwork. He knew apply to apply educated pressure and cut off the ring. Marg doesn't do that. He slowly plods forward with no defense eating punches which he can do because he was a gigantic WW. But he's a lot slower than Castillo and didn't have the foot speed to apply effective pressure on may weather, who's conditioning and stamina are legendary.

    He throws punches with not as much power or awkward angles that Maidana does.
    Maidana has a looping overhand right Margo doesn't
    Maidna has a jab Margo doesn't
    Maidana has some speed Margo doesn't
    Maidana is a dirty fighter on the inside Margo isn't

    Even still PBF fought Maidana at 36 he was not prime in that fight no matter how good you think he looked against Canelo I happen to think he's never looked good at 154 in all 3 fights he's had there.

    Lastly you keep talking about gassing out PBF doesn't gas either maintains his speed and defense throughout the fight and can stay on his bike if need be if he does that Margo can't do anything to him his feet are too slow but people like you love to act like that's not the case. This is just more wishful thinking by the typical bitter PBF haters, this fight would be a one sided clinic you already know that but won't admit it because of your hate and it makes you sleep better at night.

    Mayweather was 37?

    than how old was he when he fought castillo?

    see my point it has nothing to do with age

    The reality is mayweather struggles with fighters like that and margo was the epitome of a pressure fighter

    Pac even though he hits like a truck struggled really hard to keep him of himself

    Imagine a feather fisted figher like mayweather

    if anything mayweather would get tired from the pressure

    Mayweather's stamina and conditioning is very overrated. The only war he's ever been in was Castillo I and it was Floyd who was fading late into the fight, not Castillo.

    Floyd isn't a particularly active fighter and doesn't throw a lot of hard power shots. Therefore he doesn't usually gas.

    good point more than anything i think if he fought margo he would get tired which would allow toni to do more damage

    Mayweather could not just keep up with margos stamina

    Pac was in bed for days and he had power to keep margo of a little

    You obviously have no clue what you're talking about if You think Margarito fights anything like Castillo See my post above. Castillo has some speed. Margarito is slow is **** which is why he got blasted out Mosley while Floyd schooled him. Floyd easily beat the man who made margarito his *****.:hi:

    He stood his ground and fought against Cotto and maidana. He never looked tired. Plenty of energy left. He hurt Cotto in the 12, but Floyd being as cautious as he is was content to coast to the finish and take his easy UD.

    Thanks to a sophisticated doping program, Floyd has looked near-prime in his last 8 fights. SUPER BLAZING FAST versus Canelo, Maidana, Pac, and Berto.

    :deal

    Hatton beat a faded Castillo and then got KOed by Floyd. So Floyd beat them both idiot. :lol:Mayweather can fight and win against any style because of his versatility and ring iq.

    And size and strength and mean nothing if you can't hit your opponent and Margarito would have been hands down th slowest opponent Floyd ever faced. Easy UD.

    Oh really??? Then how is he able to keep his speed reflexes and defense through 12 rounds?:deal PBF's opponents tend to gas because of the mental pressure he applies throughout the course of the fight. He makes them think and when they aren't able to find him like they thought they would before they got in the ring they get frustrated and wear down.

    We're talking about Castillo here and Margarito. Mayweather faded against Castillo because he got into a war and didn't have the conditioning to keep up with Castillo and only won because of Castillo's slow start.

    Margarito is big, he's strong, he's tough, he's determined and most importantly he literally gives no ****s about being hit and has the stamina to throw over 1000 bombs each fight. He's that much of a tank.
