    And the thing is, Corrales is better than Margarito.

    Nope. Cotto's speed helped him alot against Floyd. Pirate Zombie wouldn't have the chance to pressure Floyd like that.

    We all know Mayweather spends too much time on the ropes.
    He actually likes it on the ropes, but I'm not sure thats a wise thing to do vs Margarito.

    Cotto for example when taking Mayweather to the ropes, cant just air it like Margarito could or would have.
    Margarito is condidtioned to throw lots and lots of punches, where as Cotto has to pace himself in order to not punch himself out.

    Another thing to note is that Margarito does'nt give a damn to land scoring shots to the head or body. He invests and does'nt mind to keep throwing and just have his shots land on arms and chest

    People dont realize that heavy shots to the arms of a fighter can take away from his sharpness as the fight progresses.

    The would be a mismatch of high proportions. Money would bust up Margo and Tko in 10. It would look similar to the Diego fight, seriously.

    Pac and Cotto both have **** defence though

    The fight would have went like the Corrales one without the knockdowns

    Mayweather aint stopping Margarito lets be serious, there is a higher chance of Margarito beating Floyd than there is of Floyd stopping him, and Margo's chances would be really, really, really slim

    Which version of Floyd are we talking about? Pre or post Marquez fight? The Floyd that fought Hatton would stick and move all night. It would be a rather boring decision.
