    Except he stopped punching after he hurt Floyd...oh yeah that's right, Margo wouldn't have stopped attacking the whole fight. Just ask Cotto.

    Speed neutralizes power. Jab neutralizes speed and power. Mayweather has a hand speed, foot speed and jab to neutralize Margo. Margo doesn't have the jab to neutralize Mayweather's speed.

    Just being a pressure fighter with a strong chin only gets you so far. But vs elite fighters you need that jab to allow your pressure style to really work. If Margo had a jab then I would consider him more of a threat.

    It doesn't matter how little of a threat you consider him. Floyd sure thought he was a big enough threat to avoid him, that's what counts.

    Except before the Mayweather fight Mosley "finished" strong vs Cotto, and Mayorga and Margarito.

    Like who? The only person that has a chance is Pac but I would favor Mayweather if they fought, the others just aren't good enough, although Berto does have potential.

    That POS Arum was the reason Floyd didn't fight Margo and BTW why should Floyd have fought him anyway? He brought absolutely ZERO to the table.

    Nah you are ignoring to many things in order to keep your biased view. Mayweather didn't jump to fight Margo and kept his options open as the reward wasn't great enough to fight him. If Margo was the only choice then he would have fought him. Since there were guys that offer'd more reward and more money he chose those.

    Margo would have slowed down as well because he wouldn't be able to land on PBF with anything of note and would have been busted up for his troubles. Margo doesn't even have a puncher's chance against PBF the best he could possibly hope for is that PBF broke his hand in the 2nd round or something from hitting him in his big ass head.
