Having boxed FLOYD and OSCAR.... i will say this about Margorito

And i dont thinl chavez gave a **** either

 

chavez fights more like cotto, he had to get close to set punches up, margarito will punch you anywhere just to punch.

 

Have you ever seen Monzon fight before?

 

all those guys mentioned Whitaker, Leonard, Ali, they all knew how to throw with leverage and could get some power behind their shots when needed. yeah they had great footwork and used the angles fighting while going backwards but if they didnt have any oomph in their punches then their opp. wouldve chased them down like marg did cotto you can have all the footwork in the world but youve got to let the other guy know your gonna hit him back and make him think about chasing you full speed. some boxers just seem to have no feeling of pain like punches dont hurt them people like mccall and margarito. floyd would have a nasty night in the ring with margarito he would be more uncomfortable than ever before and i dont think it would be a wide u.d. if they fought i am not even sure floyd would win. i think he would do what castillo and augustas couldnt finish

 

I don't remember the fight fully but I do think Chavez was a bit bewildered by the punches he was getting hit with.

And like it or not Chavez came up in weight. The welterweights are a little bit bigger than the jrs. Whitaker might not have a reputation as a puncher but he may have hit Chavez hard enough to get his respect. Nothing else really makes sense.

 

He doesnt have to hit as hard as cotto. He hits hard enough, there is a reason why guys just dont walk through Floyd. Marg is not that good at cutting off the ring, plus cotto was able to get away from him rather easy during the early rds. cotto in that fight also made no attempt to clinch when he was trapped somethin pbf does well.

 

Anthony, are you fighting again any time soon? If you answered already I missed it.

 

Man, you can't listnen to **** he says...if you look at all of his post, 80% are anti Floyd.:nono

 

If you mean same height advantage over floyd, No. Cotto is 5'6 FLoyd is 5'8

I know, AT1 is talking some dumb ****. Margarito can throw a lot of punches but if somebody just makes him miss his shots completely and making him swing at air he will eventually get tired. He may win a few rounds from Floyd playing the Ok Doke. This is the reason why fighters are not trainers and usually cant call a fight for ****. Or they all would be making bank at the bookies.

 

Pbf hits harder than Pea so i fail to realize why you mention this leveage thing. The point i was getting at is that someone is saying power gives you space. But Pea didnt hit that hard so footwork has to count for something.
