    Add Tommy Hearns' 78' reach.
    Also Luis Manuel Rodriguez's 74' reach
    Also Donald Curry's 72' reach.
    Whilst we're at it, we may as well add Paul Williams's 79' reach and Vernon Forrest's 73' reach - two guys that would have put Mayweather through living hell...

    Mayweather wins 120-108 on all 3 judges scorecards.

    Margarito was slow, flat footed and exposed as being nothing without his illegal wraps. Did he even win a round in a fight after he was caught with the plaster? :huh

    Sure he would have. You guys are seriously delusional with this stuff. Look at how flat footed and slow he is. Made Mosley look like a defensive wizard. (Which he is not) The guy would be chasing Floyd's shadow all night. Be real, and stop being clowns.

    Nobody believes you. I don't think you even believe it yourself, you just type it.

    The same old as dirt Mosley that Floyd beat the breaks off of and was considered cherry picked by Floyd.. KO'd Margarito.. Magically the 1st fight we know he was without plaster.. Go figure :nono

    What? He has slow hands slow feet no defense a **** jab and isn't a big puncher. He has size a good chin workrate and stamina that's it. That's not good enough to beat a fighter as good as PBF and you know this.

    What good is reach when you don't fight tall?:deal Margo doesn't fight tall he gives up his reach and height. PBF on the other hand knows how to fight tall, he's a master at it. Guys like Margo and Williams gave up their reach and height all the time which is dumb. Both of these fighters had very low ring IQs because they both fought on the inside far too much when they shouldn't have been.

    Again you disrespect Margarito when his destruction of an undefeated Cotto is more impressive than anything Mayweather has ever done in his career.

    Margo was most likely using loaded gloves in that fight. Funny after he was busted he never once had a win of note.:deal
