Floyd beats Margarito easily ...

First off, who is the girl in your avatar? She's definitely bodacious.

To the issue at hand, I think what I saw last night was a great strategy by Cotto to box and counter. He was much faster and landing the clearer punches. However, he just ran out of gas and was getting hit in the body by Margarito due to standing and trading too much.

PBF, as much as he ducked other contenders at WW, he would be able to handle Margo. His defensive, safety-first style would suit him against Margo. He is simply too slick, fast, and has great movement. When Hatton and DLH came forward, he just bobbed, weaved, and slipped punches. His punches would be more accurate, straight, and probably hit harder than Cotto. Finally, he would last all 12 rounds. As he proudly proclaimed, he never tires so he could probably match Margo's stamina. I would definitely pay for this fight. What we saw last night was a blueprint if executed for all 12 rounds by a slick, fast, and defensive fighter, Margo can be stopped.

 

well said, picking Fraud to win is one thing. . . pretending it would be "easy" is downright stupid.

 

Your forgetting that Margarito is the type of guy who wears his opponents down by not even hitting them cleanly each time, looping or not. These are punches and hooks to the body to the shoulders, arms, ear, etc. He will hit you where ever and will try to bring you to hell in the ring. What makes Margarito good is that he is effective with his pressure, and finds a way to connect to the body, arms or elbows. If there is a way to hurt you, he's on it. No way is this a walk in the park for Floyd, this would certainly be his toughest fight to date if he would take it.

 

He cuts off the ring well too, a lot better than DLH actually.

 

no he doesnt..

cotto > margarito

in terms of cutting off the ring

 

In terms of pressure fighting, Margarito does everything better than DLH. DLH was never a pressure fighter to begin with, there is no comparison. Its a poor comparison to compare the two; two different fighters with Margarito being the true effective pressure fighter with nearly unlimited stamina.

 

What guys has Mayweather fought that are bigger and stronger than Margarito? De La Hoya? Please. Baldomir? Laughable. I don't think so mate.

If the punches are wide - And thrown one or two at a time - Then sure, Floyd can counter move and he'll be fine like he's done however many times in the past.

If you saw him in the first Jose Luis Castillo fight though - You will note that he had some trouble adjusting to the high volume WIDE PUNCHES of JLC.

It's not just the trajectory of the shots - Its the volume of them. A guy like Floyd will block and parry two of those shots, but he's going to get hit, he's going to get hit in the shoulders, on the arms, in the side, around his gloves.

He's going to counter Tony out of those positions and unlike Oscar, Hatton, Baldomir and the rest of the gang - He's not even going to blink when those one or two right hands at a time counter his offence and he's going to continue to throw.

Mayweather has avoided him for a reason - Thats a fact mate.

 

Fitz is a **** of epic proportions.

 

from last night im sorry but the proof is in the fights people, do these fighters have a chance against floyd of course they are talented in their own rights but its not likely either beat Floyd.

i dont why people give Cotto all this skill when he did what Margo did to him to most his opponents except Mosley. Yes he has a good jab but his ring smarts are not there, condition may even be in question, Cotto is not ready for Floyd period his defence alone is his kryptonite, we wont even throw in his movement is sub-par simply off of the fact Margo would walk a str8 line to Cotto every time.

Margo is tough as **** yea we know, granite chin yup, hard hitter, yup.....duran was all these things and better and when Sugar decided to box it wasnt even close.

Before you people get nutty im not saying Floyd is like Sugar no but i am saying when the two decide to box and outclass their opponents it takes a freak to deal with them and Margo's no freak just a strong tough guy but we seen this already.

 

fitz this thread isnt going anywhere man..

these margarito fans are high from saturday night

im happy for marg definitely..

but they cant even argue reasonably...
they just respond like little kids..

no point at all man

 

Why doo you guys even reply to this guy. He said the same crap about Cotto vs Margo. This dip **** is also claiming PBF will hurt Margo. He's been jacking of to the gatti fight to many times and it has warped his perception on PBF fighting someone who will punch back.

Fitz knows **** about boxing. His boyfriend quite on the sport in his prime after fighting absolute crap. People thought Tyson was unbeatable too. No one is unbeatable.
