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

Hatton's a midget compared to Margarito. He's not as strong as Margarito. Doesn't throw as much either. Yet Mayweather only threw a little over 300 punches the entire fight. And you think he'll UP all that against a better fighter then Hatton? atsch

 

Last I checked Hatton had no issues finding Mayweather. The only problem was that Hatton had no size advantage whatsoever. He was the weaker man inside and it showed.

Are you seriously going to compare a maxed out jr.welter to a welter who could campaign at jr.middle?

I'd like to see Mayweather hold his own with a 170lb Santos for that matter. I pick Santos.

 

I can see that. He's probably a little better then decent. But that's fair. BTW...170 pound Santos vs. a 147 Mayweather. A slick, hard hitting southpaw who's pretty tall himself vs. a smaller, orthodox fighter who's yet to KO any WW's.

 

Still he's decent at best, the reason why I laughed at that guy's ridiculous post is because he claimed Santos has ATG skills which he doesn't and not even close. Not really discussing how Santos would do vs Mayweather or any other top fighter.

 

I know you're a trainer and I figured you would know the answer to this question but obviously not. He'll deal with him with his movement, defense and speed. Margo's workrate will drop by half against PBF and his connect % will be less than 20%. He has to set his feet in order to throw those 100 punches a round and he needs someone to stand in front of him while he's doing it. No way will he land on PBF like he did on Cintron no ****ig way and you know it he won't stand in front of him and Margo will miss. By the 8th round he'll get plenty discouraged after taking flush straight right hands and counter left hooks to that ugly ass dome of his. More than likely the fight will be stopped by accumulation because the Tijuana Windmill is nothing more than a big walking target for PBF.:yep

 

Why do you say he's only decently skilled Scar? I agree this ATG skilled thing is BS...but to say he's only decent?

You can't give a simple answer on a 170 pound Santos vs. Mayweather, but will talk about Santos anyway? C'mon Scar...that just looks like you don't want to answer that for fear of making an unpolular post.

 

:rofl:rofl Good ****!:good

 

Why would it drop by half? And what are you basing that on anyway? You're HUNCH?

There is absolutely NOTHING to suggest it would drop by half. You're #'s are all BS opinion as well, based on NOTHING but an irrational hatred for Margarito that you admitted.

 

If there was any fear I wouldn't have picked on that specific comment all alone. Santos a good fighter but nothing close to ATG. If Santos was very good or even great then he would've accomplished something big enough to attract enough fans to witness the very good skills he possesses and that wasn't the case. His only notable win is Margarito and I'm looking forward to his next fight to really tell if this guy is better than I think he is. I have seen very few of his fights(no, not only the Margarito fights) and from those I thought he's decent/good at best.

 

There are plenty of reasons fighters don't always attract fans. Style being a major factor. Or just being stuck as an unknown. How many big named PR fighters have their been? Like, 4-5? And only 2 since the 90's.

And again...no answer to a 170- Santos vs. 146 Mayweather. I'll take that as a "Santos UD" since I really doubt you'd resist stating Mayweather UD if you believed he'd win.

 

Santos from what I have read has been somewhat an underacheiver. He had a stellar AM record of 117-3 though.

 

I'm not going to throw in a prediction till I know enough about the guy, my opinion right now is that he's a decent fighter at best, laughing at the "ATG" skills title hardly meant I have him memorized it actually meant that I'm not dumb enough to consider anyone with ATG skills.

Also if Santos had great skills or even ATG skills he wouldn't go life and death with a one-dimensional fighter like Margarito.

 

You don't have a clue do you? Zab bothered PBF early because one he's a southpaw and two he has the best handspeed in the division it took PBF only 4 rounds before he figured Zab out and then he walked him down and beat his ass. Is Margo a southpaw? Hell no! Margo doesn't have Zab's handspeed infact he's the slowest boxer in the top 10 at 147.

Hatton's footspeed botherd PBF at the begining because he was able to close the distance and get in PBF's face. Does Margo have Hatton's footspeed? Hell no he doesn't he can't close the distance like Hatton he's just as slow of foot than he is of hand.

Oscar's jab bothered PBF for some rounds until he took it away with his movement and countering it. Does Margo have a jab as good as Oscar's? Hell no!

What I find funny is you seem to think a guy who's not even in Zab's, Oscar's or Hatton's class has a better chance of beating PBF than they did. BTW your analysis sucks please try again. :hi:

 

If you don't know enough about Santos to make a pick, how can you comment on his 'decent' skills? :huh

Look man, it's now obvious you just do not want to admit Santos @ 170 would probably beat a WW Mayweather. Otherwise, as I said, you'd have no qualms at all about saying Maweather wins. This is just like when McGwire chose to NOT ANSWER about steroids to Congress years ago. Like w/ McGwire, if he didn't take steroids, he'd have no reason at all to say he didn't. :smoke

 

I'm going to drop a few of his fights on the download list as we speak to witness the "greatness" I was robbed off. Going to get the early Jantuah fight, Kotiev, Campas, Rivera and Takaloo. Already have both Margarito fights and his fight with Lerma but need to see more to really come up with an honest assessment.

I'll have my expectations ATG high.
