    Come on man , that doesnt work.

    Duran beats Leonard who beats Hearns who beats Duran.

    Styles make fights and Floyd wanted no part of Margarito .

    I don't really believe it was that much of a dangerious fight. But I didn't say it was or wasn't. Mayweather was looking for big name fighters who had some type of following. Mayeather beats Margo and Margo doesn't do much with the rest of his career then Mayweather's win over Margo doesn't mean much since he already had 5 losses and wasn't a big name. If Margo loses to Mayweather then loses to Cotto &/or Mosley then people would hate on Mayweather's win regardless. Margo had to prove his worth first.

    Prime example is Ricky Hatton and Zab Judah. Mayweather doesn't even get credit for those wins even though they were both "dangerous" fights for him.

    Mayweather wouldn't need to hurt Margo to box circles around him. He would win by a boring UD using his elite hand speed, foot speed, defense and boxing IQ. Margo is to one dimensional and its a shame that your hate and bias for Mayweather is so great that you are condoning a cheat like Margo even get a shot against him.

    I didn't even get into the detailed fact that Arum admitted that Mayweather would fight Margo for 8mil. Or that fact that Arum and Mayweather split up making it tough to negotiate with lawsuits against each other going down. But that is ignored every time, I wonder why that is?

    Says you. PBF had better options than Margo. If Margo had actually won something and had something PBF wanted like Baldo and Oscar did then the fight would have taken place. PBF schools Margo. Give me a scenario other than PBF breaking his hand that Margo beats him.:deal

    If all sports were already formalities before they were matched then we wouldnt bother watching.

    Before it happend give me a scenario other than Tyson knocking out Douglas.

    Fights are not won on paper, they are won in the ring. I still say it Floyd wanted none of Margarito , and it only looks onesided now due to his loses to Mosley and Manny , but the man who beat Cotto was a different animal.

    HWs always get upset, because they don't have to make weight, therefore u will see them slack off in training camp but that isn't as common in lower weight classes. In this case the difference in skill and ability is way too much for a limited cheater like Margo to even stand a chance, IMHO this would look alot like the Gatti fight, towards the end.

    Berto has the physical/athletic ability but he is too raw IMO, I think a 2000 version of Mosley would've been very tough for Floyd due to his speed, Winky and Forrest would've been tough in fact 05 Winky beats him, too much size and strength but Winky is so much bigger than Floyd, not really a fair fight.

    Yeah and Margo beat the **** out of Cotto who beat Mosley, what's your ****ing point? Point is Floyd knew that even if he won against Margo it wasn't gonna be pretty and he was probably gonna be touched up, same goes for Cotto. So what does he do? Oh yeah he "retired". Just like he is now on "vacation" since people are wanting a fight against another opponent that will touch him up. You just can't get past the color of his skin to realize what a coward this guy has been since stepping up to 147lbs...yeah, yeah, a fighter isn't a coward blah, blah, blah...then how come Floyd is?

    It looked no different then maybe to you because maybe you fall for hype and lack the boxing eye to see a fighter's weaknesses and flaws but to me Margo wasn't **** to begin with and I said it here from day one, do a search.:deal Margo had 5 losses when he beat Cotto, Clottey was giving him the business until he hurt his hand and had been beaten at his own game later by a green Williams. He was a one-dimensional slow moving target who's a counter-puncher's wet dream. PBF would have stuck and moved on him and cruised to a wide UD win. Margo was never a legit threat the guy lacked a jab, handspeed, footwork and skills to be a legit threat to a fighter the caliber of PBF

    Mosley has Margo's chin, more power then Margo, and more hand speed. Plus he fights like a Mexican.

    What part of Mosley's style did Mayweather favor over Margo?? What area is Margo clearly ahead of Mosley in?

    You had the same song and dance before the Mosley fight as well you irrational troll. And as soon as PBF shuts him out you ain't got **** to say. Don't you get tired of PBF proving your dumbass wrong again and again? You've been picking against him since you started posting here and haven't been right yet give it a rest. PBF isn't any of the things you say he is becasue if he was he wouldnt be 41-0.:deal

    I started posting right before the Mosley fight, so I was against him once...lol. And I agree that Floyd was a phenomenal fighter before he stepped up in weight, no denying that. But as a WW? Come the **** on!
     
  15. Floyd Mayweather Jr at superfeather is UNBEATABLE , i believe Tommy Hearns would do the job at welterweight Sugar Ray Robinson would do the job in any division from lightweight to jr middle , i wouldnt put money on any other than those two guys

    there may be a few other fighters but off the top of my head there the two who stand out...
