ANTONIO MARGARITO is the Blueprint to beating FLOYD...

:rofl:roflatsch

 

Margo is quite strong though, he didn't really show it vs cotto 2 did he?

 

He had chance to show it vs Shane Mosley but failed there too. Right when his strength would have really counted.

 

Shane p4p is one of the hardest punchers ever, he ****ing flopped Margo not stop him on his feet, he demolished him

 

Saul Alvarez is next:hey

 

Yeah I reckon Shane will beat him, I generally think Shane is telling the truth about his leg problems, his leg fine now! WAR SHANE

 

whO, WHAT, WHEN , HOW!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Think about it like this.

Pacquaio has quick ass feet, and he punches hard as a mother ****er.

He broke mother ****in, Margarito's eye socket, and Margarito was still on his feet, still tryin to **** his opponent up.

You really think Mayweather was tryin to deal with that?

Pacquaio said that taking a shot from a 168 lb Margarito was the hardest he had ever been hit.

So do you think Mayweather econmical footwork and precision punching would be enough to keep Margarito from getting him on the ropes?

And while Mayweather is an excellent counterpuncher, Margarito has a great jaw, and even when you block shots, eventually some are going to get through.

So while Mayweather could very well slip and slide his way to victory, he would have to utilize a body attack almost immediately, but he cannot afford to take punishment in the process.

All the while, he would have to try his best to keep the fight in the center of the ring. Floyd's accuracy and power will be the most relevant factors going into this fight.

The question being, can he hurt Margarito? If not, Margarito will impose his size, and it is very likely he will press Mayweather to the ropes at some point.

All I'm saying, is that was a smaller Mayweather than today, and it was a risk vs reward ration. It was a business decision, but the business product is the body, and the body has to be protected.

 

yep ! what this man said...styles make fights and margarito would've been a horrible matchup for floyd.

 

I wonder what Margarito's record is after getting caught with plaster? Has he beat any quality opponent? Oh, you mean use concrete!

 

i like margarito but mayweather would punch the head offa him! different level im afraid.

 

Margarito is too one dimensional. He HAS TO accumulate volume on you to be able to win. The problem is Mayweather would be one of the best defensive and quickest fighters that he would have ever fought and Margarito is slow and doesn't have one punch power to change the whole dynamic of a fight. Mayweather focuses on making it boring, making him miss, not engaging and scoring pts off the jab to the body as Margo walks in a straight line. Keeping himself fresh for most of the fight then open up in the championship rds beating him to the punch with hand speed.


Margarito would have to fight patient and defensive picking his spot when to try and load up on volume, but he don't really fight like that.
