    But Floyd didnt come in at 154 he was 148 so that arguement means nothing, unless your going to use the idea that Oscar was the bigger man, its still dont matter how many bigger man has Floyd faced? more than just Oscar.

    Yes, PBF came in at 148....what did DLH come in at?

    And yes PBF has beaten bigger men. How many were bigger than DLH? None. That point is entirely valid. You cannot compare 147 fighters even in their prime to a past it ATG who has fought as high as MW. Too many variables. If you think the WW's can beat PBF. Cool....but don't use the DLH fight as an indicator. Most had him winning that fight clearly, so mentioning the SD isn't much of an argument either.

    what a crock , william proved what a lot of poster including myself have been saying al along , Margarito can not handle angles , santos proved it before he ran out of gas and , clotty proved it and now paul has . Margarito didn't stop punching because williams , santos where throwing punches at him, he stop throwing punches because they didn't give him a target.

    Margarito relies mostly on his strength, he has bad balance and he reaches with wide looping shots and he stand straight up to be hit..
    Iv said once and Ill said again Floyd vs Margarito would be an Ugly fight based on style ,, floyd head movement and foot movement are for quicker and economical then Paul's and he has better defense .

    margarito style would not be enough to make floyd change his style , floyd would simply avoid margarito punches by punching and moving and floyd upper body movement and foot speed would make margarito knee knock together , while making margarito look like a bull in a china shop.
    Since floyd would not be able to put any real power on his punches to detur margarito , floyd would simply pop shot and combo margarito all night will getting boo for not standing and exchanging punches with margarito .

    Yeah floyd doesn't do that because he doesn't have to. William's technique is to put the opponent off balance and on the defensive end with those "feather jabs and combinations" :D Floyd? He picks his punches and dish out only the punches that will connect and do maximum damage. :yep . . . not to mention that Floyd's footwork is way above Williams . . . yeah nothing has changed.

    Floyd still beats Margarito.
