    I even seen Clottey standing right in front of Margo & just picking off all his shots and countering him. PBF is all wrong for Margo

    Odds are in this fight Floyd breaks his hand during the fight, either hitting tony or blocking, either way Margarito vs Floyd is just speculation right now, if the fight happens and I am betting money I am going with Margarito.

    As Ann Wolf said, Conditioning and heart will always beat Skill.

    I dont mind you having an opinion, but you make it seem like Floyd is just un beatable, when you look at his fights in recent years since moving up to 140-154 he hasnt fought anybody close to Margarito.

    Of course he is going to look sharp against Gatti, Judah, Corley, Bruseless, But you still forget that the version of DLH was not a prime oscar and that fight "Officially" is a SD win a narrow single point win.

    he has yet to be in there with a monster like Tony who can take one hell of a shot and keep comming with his own and at that work rate.

    Try to be a bit more realistic, the only way Floyd can win is UD, no stoppage here, we all agree to that, but can he withstand what he has to endure to get to the cards? that is the question.

    in some of those lesser fights, such as the Corley fight, Floyd was buzzed, Tony dosent have to get all the way inside to work, he has the size advantage, he just needs to find his range, the way Floyd keeps that left hand down low leaves an opening for a looping right hand, the traditional straight right hand will be blocked by Floyds shoulder.

    Either way I dont see a Floyd win, I see Floyd tested in areas that he just hasnt been before and I see the pressure, work rate and body work by Margarito being simply too much for Floyd.

    Every fighter has a guy out there with their number Margarito IMO has that number, he is a nightmaric fight for Floyd style wise that is not the kind of fighter you want Floyd to be in there with, he just doesnt give enough room for anybody to breathe.

    Yes Floyd has killer handspeed, yes Floyd has a great defense, but that doesnt always win you fights, sometimes it does come down to heart and will, and usally when you havent been tested in those areas going in against a guy who has, usally the man who has will come out on top.

    Why can't Margo & Floyd just agree to fight at 147 with weigh in on the same night?

    They can, its just a matter of Floyd agreeing to fighting the man, I am sure if they put that in the contract Marg would have no problem with that.
    Truth is I think even Floyds people know this is a huge risk for Floyd, the man is never out of shape, never takes a single step back, and always gives all he has no matter how big the other guy is or how fast, Margarito just keeps comming.

    Let me ask you something, Why is it people act like Clottey won the fight? he didnt he lost, he bruised his knuckle and used it as an excuse, how many times have you seen Floyd fight with a hurt hand? :think

    yes after the fight Clottey said it was broke, but before his fight with Corrales when asked about it he said the Dr said it was just a bruised Knuckle.

    Yet nobody tends to bring up the fact that Tony had a sprained ankle and fractored wrist in that fight. bottom line is Clottey was fighting for a title and when you fight for a belt you have to fight through the pain, broken bones and bruises happen in this sport.

    I agree with the part about Clottey. I dont know exactly what kind of injuries Margo had or exactly what kind of injuries Clottey had. I've heard Margo had a broken ankle, a sprained ankle, some people say nothing was wrong with Margo's wrist, some say he had a bad ankle & wrist. Some say Clottey only bruised knuckles on one hand, some say both, some say he had one broken hand, some say he broke both of his hands. So what really happened, who knows? But what I do know is that whatever happened to Clottey in that 4th or 5th round, it did slow him down. Now as a fighter, when you're in a title fight, you gotta suck that $hit up cause title fights are never guaranteed to come across again. Another thing I can say is, Margo did suck that $hit up & continue to fight with no complaints. I gotta give Clottey props to cause he finiished the fight, he kept telling his team that he wanted to continue, but he was hurting. Now how bad the pain of a broken hand is, IDK. You probably know being that you box, but IDK. But I dont which parts of his hands were broke, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that his hands were in that much pain that he just couldn't do it. Now whatever Margo had going on, he was able to man up & fight, it didn't even look like he was hurt. But I do believe tha a 100% healthy Clottey beats Margo, but the question is can Clottey ever fight Margo for 12 rounds without breaking his hands?

    Floyd wins by wide decision or it is stopped ala Margarito taking so many clean shots without landing in return.

    Margo by late KO, but he loses every minute of every round until the KO. Unlike Oscar, Margarito wouldn't be tentative to pull the trigger.

    Floyd UD. Margo for once gets exhausted from constantly over extending on his punches from missing and hitting air so much.
