    When I see an idiot calling Mayweather a "runner" because he doesn't understand a certain style in boxing then it's hard to reply to that idiot in proper fashion no matter how hard I try.

    Why are you all over Mayweather threads spitting clear obvious hate?, are YOU his *****?

    yes oscar is more skilled than marg. but it wasn't his footwork nor overall skills that win him the early rounds. it was his ability to cut the ring, bully mayweather into the ropes and then land his punches. he wasn't even utilizing his jabs to put mayweather into the ropes, all he did was run after him and use his range. margo could do a more effective pressure than this especially knowing that he would not just land but actually hurt mayweather and not get hurt in return.

    second, paul williams landed a lot against margo becuse of he could keep him at bay with his reach. and he could easily tie him up too being the taller fighter. this would'nt work effectively if a smaller mayweather. mayweather's chance is basically to run all night and avoid the ropes. how he will do this against margo's effective pressure and his poor showing against the pressure applied on him by oscar is for us to find out if ever mayweather decides he could fight margo.

    Affective pressure = landing shots, do you honestly think Margarito will be able to land enough in a fight like this?, I just don't see it, Margarito will have to eat 3-4 to land 1 or even nothing. Mayweather will keep this fight in the middle of the ring and when he does don't expect to see Margarito do enough. If Floyd decides to go to the ropes he WON'T lean with his head down and eat 3-4 uppercuts in a row, if anything he'll look to block some shots and just counter his way out of the corner then back to the ring and it will keep going that way till the 12th. I'm NOT saying Mayweather should do what Williams did, that's ridiculous hence why I mentioned Williams was able to hold simply because he had the size to fight that way all the way to the 12th. Cotto was busted badly early and bleeding heavily, that's why he just got dazed and too tired late even though when he kept fight in the middle of the ring he always got the better out of Margarito. For Mayweather whether in the middle of the ring or on the ropes he can still be affective if not win exchanges by avoiding most of what Margarito will throw which is very very predictable for someone like Mayweather. If Mayweather runs out of gas, Margarito will eat him up without any doubts but don't expect that to happen.

    Cut the pompous elitist bull****. Is it any wonder you get **** on so much around here:patsch

    If you really have no clue as to why PBF is considered by MANY to be a runner you're not as clever as you think you are!:hi:

    i agree, margo has no chance to pull it off if he wouldn't be able to keep maywehater off the center of the ring. but in the corners, would mayweather have a chance? i don't think so. JLC and DLH already gave us a picture of mayweather when cornered by pressure fighters. oscar wasn't even good at it, all he had was his body mass and range. he wasn't landing effectively because he doesn't have power in his shots in close quarters. he was stepping backwards each time he got mayweather in the ropes so he could have range to land his power shots. and at this ineptness of oscar, mayweather still lost a lot of early rounds.

    now, why won't margo land his shots against mayweather in the corner? he has just shown a great ability to mix his punches. he landed on the body, then work on the uppercuts, and the head. mayweahter wouldn't know which way to defend even if he is a defensive genius. margo isn't like oscar. he don't need range to get off his punches. against cotto, he just leaned on his shoulders, then land on the body on the chin. that was a perfect way to fight on the ropes, and although he missed alot, he was very effective. if margo would be able to keep doing this mayweather in the corners, it is very possible mayweather would fade like cotto.

    Like I give a damn about what you think and yes I know why he's considered a runner and why there's a lot of hate surrounding him, I don't need a clueless cabdriver to tell me.

    Yeah I know that JLC and DLH were able to do serious damage there but those guys actually had excellent speed, Baldomir had Mayweather in the corner too but his speed failed him therefore making Mayweather looking WAY better in that position. The punches Margarito will throw with Floyd cornered are extremely predictable that even Cotto imitated Mayweather and succeeded when his stamina didn't fail him, how do you think Mayweather will look?, Margarito has "Counter me" written on his forehead for Mayweather, that's how easy it will be for Mayweather to counter. One thing I'm worried about here is Mayweather breaking his right hand during the fight considering Margarito has a solid steel chin but even if he does I would expect him to manage his way out of it.

    I'm not saying he won't land NOTHING, of course he will land, especially the body shots but will he land enough during the fight to win a decision or to even seriously disturb Mayweather as the fight goes?, I don't think so. You're kind of overrating Margarito's speed here but not even paying attentio to how really slow the man actually is and predictable, if you can't cut off the ring well enough how do you expect to corner a man who is constantly moving long enough to land?, as soon as Margarito settles and balances his self to start throwing punches with serious bombs behind them Mayweather will right hand his way out of that position or even left hook his way out of that position and we're back to the to the middle of the ring and the same thing happens over and over.

    The only ***** here is the one with "indirect" insults like a typical slut, my posts and opinions come straight forward, try that when discussing to other men.
