floyd wouldnt try and exchange with margarito ever- he would always run. and i do believe he could have lasted 1 round longer than cotto
I see no way Floyd Mayweather comes out of retirement to fight Margarito, So how is Margarito ever going to beat Floyd Mayweather?
Yeah , that's what everyone said Cotto was going to do. 90% of this forum. Strange how things have a tendency to repeat themselves, " is it not? Come out little Floyd.......we know you're hiding. It is Margarito who wants you, NOT you wants Margarito
Look people said this same **** about Cotto going into the fight with Margarito and look what happend, its not a matter of what Skills Floyd has he will do better in the fight becuase he has a better defense no doubt, but its almost a carbon copy of what happend to Cotto if Floyd should fight him. There is no way that Floyd has enough power to keep Tony off of him, and after a consistant body assualt like you saw last week Floyd will not be moving as much and if so he must give up something to use those legs which means he will have to lower his work rate other wise he fades and gets stopped just as cotto did. Floyd loves to lay on them ropes he doesnt like to use his legs that much which is why you rarely ever see him get tired, but to lay on the ropes against Tony he will pay a BIG price going down the strech. this fight is a pick em fight, based on Margaritos work rate, Floyds lack of a high work rate, Floyd not having the power to gain the respect of Margarito. Everybody always points to Boxing skills when Tony is concerned, but as I have said Time and time again, Skills doesnt mean you automaticly win, sometimes its what a fighter is made of inside, can Floyd take those kind of shots and keep fighting his fight? does Floyd have the heart and will that Tony does? can he match him in that area? that is a big question but easily answered when you look at the way he fights. Floyd does not want a fight like this, which is why he is happy to fight a saftey first kind of fight. say what you will beleive what you want, Floyd had a 8 Million dollar offer to prove you all correct, but it was the man himself that turned that offer down. I think this fight would play out the same as the Margarito Cotto fight, the difference here is I beleive that Cotto has more heart than Floyd there for I dont see Floyd making it to the 11th round against Tony. he retired for a reason, and a good one. Tony is no joke he doesnt come to play patty cake he doesnt come to look pretty he comes to win the fight and by knock out if its there. wake up Floyd lovers Margarito has proven your ignorance and owned all of you last week and will re own the cheapie Floyd fans when you tune in to watch Clottey whip Zabs ass.
I see him doing that but it won't be easy at all, Margarito proved he's not one to be taken lightly despite his obvious flaws.
Margarito lacks the footspeed of Hatton and the technical skill of Castillo. No way will he be able to trap Mayweather and catch him with anything flush. If fact, I can easily see Mayweather standing in the pocket and picking off Margarito's slow looping punches and countering the holey hell outta him.
Maybe if it was a 16 foot ring and tiny gloves Margo might have a chance of catching Floyd early. You know if this fight is ever made that Mayweather will ask for a 24 foot ring and 16oz sparring gloves along with headgear.
Well, we'll probably never know who would win anyway since there is a very small chance of the fight ever happening. I think Margarito can beat him though. Floyd will be pushed to his limit in this fight and will be forced to fight 3 minutes of every single round, something he's not used to doing.
I can't see PBF backing up Margo, running for a full twelve, taking too many body shots and winning. I think Cotto looked spectacular against MArgarito. Cotto is more durable than Floyd MJ. I could see Cotto beating FMJ.
The TIJUANA TORNADO is waaaaay more durable than the Hitman with waaaaay better whiskers and hits waaaaaay harder than Castillo and Hatton. PBF didn't fight AM for a reason. Also, Sugar Shane declined a fight with the Tijuana native for the same reason. It's common sense why a fighter accepts less money with a lesser fighter; common sense...
I would love to have seen Margarito throw his short pucnhes while Floyd was trapped in the corner and see how well he landed ..One thing I have to guve Antonio is he throws some of the most dangerous short pucnhes I have seen in a while ..I think he is the epitome of punches in bunches !
Floyd Easily Outboxes Margarito And Tagges Him All Night Long..he Never Gets Hurt But His Face Is Messed Up...no Way Margarito Beats Floyd On The Ropes...floyd Is Way Quicker Than Cotto And Wont Trade With Margarito At All...anyone Who Doesnt See This Knows Nothin Bout The Sweet Science!
