***Floyd Mayweather Jr. VS Antonio Margarito @ 147lbs***

Mayweather by wide UD, possibly 120-108 decision.

Left hooks over Margarito's guard and jabs to mid section galore, lateral movement, shoulder roll and right hand leads into which Margarito would be walking all evening long.

Mayweather is too elusive for Margarito: the few episodes here and there going for Margarito would be short lived. Moreover, Margarito's workrate would be cut down significantly as he would rapidly run short of solutions.

Moreover if we compare both boxer's land/throw ratios, Mayweather is way ahead and there's no reason to believe neither that Mayweather's would decrease in a fight against a boxer with a somewhat porous defense nor that Margarito's would increase against a defensive genius like Mayweather.

Not only Mayweather is a far, far better boxer but his style is all wrong for Margarito.

 

:good Yup.

 

This Is like Floyd vs Baldomir part 2.

 

If Fraud Mayweather ever grows a set and fights Margarito the only way Fraud could win is have the fight in vegas with joe cortez as ref and the same 3 judges as were for the hatton fight, then run for 12 rounds as long as your still standing you'll win

 

Listen you childish twat. I do not like Floyd Mayweather, never have, I doubt I ever will.

I gave my opinion, you responded with pish and no real clear line of reasoning other than Floyd will get walked through.

I do not think that Mayweather can hurt Margo but he has enough power to stop him walking through him.

Therefore the better boxer wins. Margo is wide open to counterpunch's. Which is what Mayweather does best and Mayweather would never engadge.

This fight would look like Baldomir all over again.

 

Something like that, yes.

 

Boxing revisionism pushed to the level of religious fanaticism.

If you Margo nuthuggers don't want to take your medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that you can have it some other way. But I don't think that you would like it.

 

Margarito is too young and too prime to be bothered by Mayweather's little bit of movement along the ropes. Unlike DLH, Margarito is not a part time boxer. He has the hunger, the conditioning and the intensity to bring pain to Mayweather for the full 3 minutes of every round for 12 rounds. DLH could never get that done in his entire career.

Mayweather would get tired, probably about the 8th or maybe even the 10th. But Margarito would be in the fight he has waited a lifetime for. He'd be looking for blood like Cujo and he'd get it. Late in the fight.

 

I feel Cotto's chances at beating Margarito are greater than Mayweathers. That said is a pickem fight, but I would predict Margarito would be too much pressure, to much muscle, to much energy for PBF, sort of like Castillo-PBF but at 147.

 

But to apply the pressure and to turn the muscles to your advantage you first have to get to your opponent and somehow keep him in a predicament where your strengths will stand out.

To think that a slow-footed and wide-punching Margarito would get Mayweather cornered long enough to cause significant damage is an exercise in wishful thinking. The former is dramatically too slow for the latter. Margarito would be swinging through a lot of air and get countered relentlessly.

 

Clearly a draw. 6 rounds apiece on all three cards, ten times out of ten.

I guess I'm the only one around here with any sense. :roll:

 

I'm calling you "Switzerland" from now on.

 

LMFAO why would I even bother listening to a poster who started posting when Floyd fought Oscaratsch
There is clearly a reason Floyd chose not to fight Margarito, its not the money, Floyd knows better than to test himself in those areas Margarito will test him in.

 

Exactly the difference is Margarito will be the biggest Banger that Floyd has ever been in there with meaning the shots he does land will do damage, Floyd doesnt throw alot of shots either, hows he going to deal with a guy who throws 100 shots per round with out getting tired or discouraged?:think

 

How to reconcile some of the Margarito fans' contradictions goes beyond reason. Unanimously, they claim that his workrate, energy level and motivation exceed any other WW's capacities. When asked why then such workrate, energy level, motivation and whatnot did not exceed the capacities of non-elite boxers like Daniel Santos and Paul Williams, some of them provided no answer whereas others blamed the performance on account of "laziness" and "lack of motivation" - go figure.

Always pushing themselves to ridicule, the said fans depict Margarito as a relentless fighter who never stop throwing yet, when asked why he waited till the late rounds to unleash his relentless pressure on Williams, some of them explained: "he thought he was ahead on points", not realizing for one second that they had the chronology of the fight backwards (i.e. a fighter who believes he's ahead on points would slow down, not accelerate, the pace - duh!).

Of course, Margarito is entitled to every excuse: "he was lazy", "he was not motivated", "he thought he was ahead on points" whereas his opponents, namely Joshua Clottey who injured his hand bad enough to throw himself out of his game plan, are not...

The bottom line is Margarito's resume is too shitty right now to make the sort of claims we read from his fans. He is given now another opportunity to prove himself as a top WW after screwing up twice.

Good for him if he beats Cotto, we shall acknowledge. If he loses decisively (which I expect) it will finally be the end of one of the loudest WW hypejob in recent history. Until then, he's nothing more than what he showed thus far: a B-Class fighter with a somewhat **** resume.
