... much props to Margarito ... I was wrong about him last night ... I picked Margarito to win when the fight was first announced but then after seeing both of them fight ... I gave Cotto the edge based on boxing ability ... Cotto boxed but it wasn't as effective as it was in the past and I think after a while he just wanted to create space between he and Margarito ...
Are you kidding? I will say it now - I think Floyd COULD, probably would outbox Margarito. But you Mayweather fans make it sound like Margarito is easy work - That is insanity. Utter insanity. To ignore Floyd's own history - To say that Margarito's style is a danger to Floyd is to ignore the obvious - It is to ignore common sense - It is to dismiss without having any kind of open mind. Fitz - You talk like Floyd is the only guy that trains for 20 rounds hard - Do you think Margarito goes for a run around the block twice a week before hitting the heavy bag for five minutes with a ciggie hanging out the side of his mouth? Come on! If you're saying that Margarito doesn't posessthe tools to give Floyd a very tough fight - Them I'm afraid the dellusion is firmly in your camp Walke With Me, Fitz etc. I'll say it again - Floyd wining a 116-112+ sort of fight will still look worse for wear than at any time in his career - and say what you want about his skills - It is almost boundless after all - He just doesn't have thirst for battle like Margarito does.
No fighter in the game is as conditioned as Floyd ... Margarito is a good conditioned fighter but he's not condition to do anything but throw and get hit by punches consistantly. Not on movements ... not on defense ... not on throwing straight punches ...
That's what we don't want in 2008. Save all that entertainment bull**** for later. His terms are gauged by the perfect oppurtunity. He won't ever feel as special as SRL if he loses some sort of comeback. Against a fresh Margarito or Williams he better be careful and watch the ropes. If he wins after 3 years and many division battles we are the biggest losers. Boxing should ****in sideline his ass like Brett if he wants to be a entertainer. Let him fight some bums before big paydays.
When has Floyd ever gotten beat up and looked tired after a fight ... had to wear sunglasses at night? Last night Margarito was looking like he had a food allergy ...
my god people in the middle of the ring the fight is done...margo is too slow punches to wide for him to even be effective any point in the fight we seen that with Cotto only thing is Cotto would move and end up on the ropes too much....now i hate to say it but Floyd would'nt even punch anywhere near those ropes and would keep this fight in the center and margo just is over matched then. Say he his on the ropes again that shoulder roll and philly shell will work wonders because margo loops his punches and they are not accurate his punches won't hit flush and the damage will be extremely manageble for floyd...call Floyd what you want but he is tough in that ring. Also while on the ropes with Margo being so slow and punching so wide man he will eat so many uppercuts and counters.....can he tak'em yup pretty sure he can but its always the punch you dont see that really hurts you and accumulation and Margo is no different just may take longer. floyd throws fast decisive punches with nice power and it can hurt Margo. Floyd is too smart to fight like Cotto did...trading with Margo is utterly dumb.....outboxing Margo with stamina and constant movement....you got yourself a victory.
Fraud Mayfeather has RETIRED !! He cant beat anyone. Let the chicken hearted jerk stay retired too We now have a world welterweight champion we can be proud of Antonio The Tijuana Tornado Margarito!!!!!!! forget that whining lil prima donna mayfeather he's done
Good post. Margo is also a HUGE welterweight. The size difference would be vast, with Margo applying nonstop pressure. I don't know if Margo can WIN the fight, but Floyd sure as hell wouldn't knock toney out. It would definitely be Floyd's toughest fight to date - and I wouldn't be totally shocked if Toney wins by SD or late round TKO. This is a fight I would love to see.
When did Floyd ever face anyone dangerous enough to do what Margarito did to cotto??? NEVER he turned down $8mil and ducked him
Wow. Swarming, iron chinned scrapper gets "punched in face and bruises up" shocker. If a feather fisted boxer ends up like that, you know he's lost. When somebody that is a relentless fighter that will take one to give one ends up like that, it means nothing. Anyway, how did the other guy look? That's normally quite telling?
I've been seeing the same recycled crap about Margarito for years. Hes too slow He punches too wide You can see his punches coming Hes easy to hit and yet, the only person to beat Margarito as of late has been Paul Williams. Cotto was faster, smarter and a better boxer Saturday morning too. Look what happened. Tony beats the **** out of Floyd even worse than Cotto.
Not on avoiding tough fights to fight midgets and the elderly. I found a picture of Fitzgerald, the worlds most one eyed Floyd supporter, unable to see anything but Floyd. This content is protected
