Margarito is the first steel chined fighter that Floyd has faced ... he's not the first relentless guy that Floyd has faced and he's definitely not the first 5'11 guy that Floyd has faced. The thing is that if he beats Cotto he makes a strong case for fighting Floyd and if Williams can come back and knock out Quintana then I say lets see the fight. I wouldn't mind seeing Floyd beat Margarito UD or stoppage on cuts or stoppage on too much punishment. Even though its not possible that PBF can knock him out with head shots but he can focus on the body, move, and potshot him ... he can definitely re make the Genero Hernandez fight w/ Margarito. These guys aren't anything special ... they're good in their own right, but they take too many shots to be able to compete w/ PBF. Though he's relentless ... he doesn't have enough skill to make a good fight w/ PBF.
if marg wins.... and doesnt get cotto (which he probably wont) he should go str8 at the winner of zab and shane
How do you figure that this is possible? The thing that I don't understand about you is how highly you tout Floyd's defense, which you should, but then try to make it seem like he's some kind of offensive powerhouse, which he's isn't. Floyd had the best of both world's in a lower division, but if he lets his hands go at this level, against the best welterweights, he's going to get chewed up. Honestly, the only way Floyd beats Tony is by running and pot shotting. And by running, I mean he can't even tie him up. If he does Tony will hit him with uppercuts every chance he gets. Tony thrives when fighters try to clinch with him. The only fighter I've seen get away with it is Paul Williams, but Paul rarely did it, and he has the physical attributes to pull it off. Floyd will be bullied if he attempts to fight on the inside. Floyd will not stop Margarito. No way, no how.
Fraud will continue running from the biggest challenges . . .thats just what he does and Im starting to care less and less. Cotto - Margarito = a fight that may challenge Castillo - Coralles for fight of the Century!
