You have the reason right here tonight why he didn't fight Margo. Floyd's punches would have been like mosquito bites. I thought Margo being slow would matter but Floyd was much faster than Maidana and it didn't give that much of an advantage.
margo would still eat a lot of counters, but a plodding margo would cut floyd off and beat the **** out of lil floid ala cotto. but not until floid demands a random knuckle test.
Margo should be in jail for attempted murder he might was well had bought a knife to ring when he fought Cotto the first time with loaded gloves. A devious pathetic Scum bag whose name should never be mentioned. But I gues Mexicans see nothing wrong in his behaviour - no surprises see how they behead women in the street and kill kids
Mayweather ducking pressure fighters, keep ducking. That's why you don't get the credit you deserve from boxing fans. TBE.....
Paul Williams and Margarito would probably have the gas tank, activity, and size to win against Mayweather. Still think May beats Pac easily though. Pac can't rough up Mayweather.
The Margarito that stopped Cotto would have definitely put Floyd in the corner. Then its down to how well Floyd can handle that extra 20lbs of punching pressure. Margarito was taller, bigger, probably hit harder, iron chin and much better stamina than Maidana.
While this is totally true, I honestly think Cotto was very lucky to have the 2nd fight stopped. He was being broken down without plaster. Of course you could say that Cotto has lost lots of resilience since the 1st fight and that's probably true as well.
Both Margo and Paulie were freakishly big Welters, So its not as bad since Floyd started at 130...if he fought Margo or Williams it will be too much reach/height/size advantage vs ATG level fighters, so it was unfair...unless Mayweather wanted to be TBE/GOAT Pacman is dangerous, but beatable
It's kinda odd that out of all the people Floyd didn't fight, people are most obsessed about him not fighting a known cheater. Threads like these prove to me that people don't care if Mayweather's opponents are clean or not as long as he loses. People secretly wished he fought Magarito just so that Margorito could do long term damage with his hand wraps like he did to Cotto. Out of all the CLEAN fighters Floyd could have fought, yall ignore those guys and rather devote all your energy towards analyzing a fight between him and a cheater. Where the hell are people's ethics? Ethics go out the window whenever Floyd is discussed here. Hell, people in general who dislike Mayweather have this thuggish "by any means necessary" nonchalant attitude about peds, epo's, illegal hand wraps, cheating, etc in the sport.
Yeah, but its not as bad as ducking someone your own size. Floyd still hydrates like Many Super Featherweights. Its bad only if you want to judge him as the GOAT/TBE, I consider him top 30 ATG, so what he did is bad but doesn't disqualify him from being Top 30 ATG
