    A slow wide open plodder with no jab and no skills. Yeah sounds like a hard guy for a sharpshooting boxing wizard who would beat this slow handed slow footed mummy to the punch and out maneuver his ass around the ring all night long. Pbf sets a compubox record for connect % and power punches landed on this bum. The differences in reflexes and skill is as vast as the milky way galaxy. It would've have been funny to watch the disparity of skills speed and reflexes in this fight as pbf countered this mummy to hell and back. Not only that pbf doesn't fade and had atg defense and a chin. So you do the math. Margo volume is reduced just like everyone else who fought pbf because pbf isn't there to be hit much better fighters couldnt consistently hit pbf let that sink in. Margo can't outbox pbf nor can he knock him out. He can't win, you know this and if you could go back in time and this fight happened in 2007 you wouldn't put a dime on Margo to win. You just hate pbf and want to talk yourself and others into believing a plodding wide open bum beats the best fighter of his era. Log off!

    Because he couldn't spell undizpuded ?

    Or because he didn't want to pay sanctioning fees to corrupt boxing organizations?

    Or because he wanted to make the most money rather than obtain the most belts, the dirty capitalist?

    All of the above?

    Floyd beat the guy who destroyed and assassinated Margarito the cheat in Mosley.

    The Green belt is the most prestigious belt. It’s the one all the fighters want.

    Floyd was stopping Floyd.
    He didn’t hang on to belts he said belts don’t define him, he’d drop them almost as soon as he got them.

    According to him he didn’t like paying the fees …

    Floyd earned much more than £25 Million for the De La Hoya even with the short end of the purse and became the A side.

    It always make me laugh when this comes up. Very soon @C.J. will come up with the usual BS defence of his mate Margacheato.

    Floyd was kinda considered the undisputed without actually having the belts I suppose. Everybody knew he was the man to beat

    It’s too bad he didn’t have your confidence. By your logic that would have been easy money which Floyd was fond of making. Weird how he never did it though.

    How right you are. The thought hadn’t even occurred to me back then. It was all about the opponents.

    Margarito was a bum. He got his ass kicked almost every time he fought someone worth a ****. There's a reason he had to use loaded gloves to beat Cotto.

    I can't see Margarito, who's slow, blocks punches with his face, and telegraphs his punches so much he's like a Punch-Out character, beating Floyd.
