Imagine 5'11 170lb margarito pre-manny fight Vs Floyd

Of course you're glad he didn't fight him: Margarito was a legitimate threat and posed serious stylistic problems for Mayweather and could have beaten him. Mayweather knew the threat he posed as well, which is why he ducked him like the plague.

 

You mean pre-mosley right? Margarito was never the same after Shane/Naz exposed Margacheato for the cheat and scrub he is. Once again, *******s crediting Pac for another cherrypick.

 

Same man who lost to daniel santos ? That one ok then

 

ya that same guy....but i think we could just say "same guy that got blasted by washed up shane mosley" and leave it at that

 

I would have supported you if there was no plaster in his gloves. Margarito without plaster got beat the **** out of by a journeyman.

 

Both Margarito and Williams beat Floyd. Too much size, workrate and pressure. It's not a coincidence the retirement happened for Floyd when it did.

 

There is big chance margo would have given Medieval Torture for Floyd or maybe not.

 

You saw what happened vs Maidana. Now we know why he ducked Margarito! who is a bigger, stronger, tougher, granite chin version of Chino.

 

And what if Margarito was a Golden Boy fighter back then? I guess he would just be seen as a cherrypick right? Only Top Rank fighters can be the boogeyman

 

And you surely saw what Cotto did to Margarito for the first six rounds of their fight? he totally utterly outboxed him, until the plaster started setting in.

 

by your logic, do "we know" margarito cheated long before he got caught because cotto beat him in the rematch?

 

floyd pays margarito to use everlast pillows, like the ones margarito was forced to use in the cotto rematch.

 

yeah, it's amazing what effect plaster doesn't have in a rematch

 

floyd needs special gloves to protect his brittle hands while maidana wants his less padded gloves to inflict maximum damage as a strong puncher. it reduces a fighters belief in winning if their advantages are reduced so it's not fair fight. there are slick boxers and power punchers and either can win as long neither are taken advantaged of in their choice of equipment

 

Margarito by KO.
