Margarito vs Mayweather

I have been thinking about this fight since the Cotto fight. I was rooting for Cotto before and told everyone that even though MArgarito would make it a tough fight for Cotto that his skill would be too much for Margarito. Boy was I wrong.
Then thinking about a possible PBF-Margarito fight i thought PBF just was too good at what he does to be beaten by Margarito. Now I am not so sure.

Please no stupid answers. Lets try to disect this fight and see how it would play out.

Here is a few things that make me think of Margarito winning.

-For 6 straight rounds Cotto was landing on Margarito at will with tremendous shots and Cotto is a serious puncher. As Lampley said it "he doesnt just beat you, he beats you up" I saw so many bombs land on Margarito that I thought he might actually get KOd in this fight. The thing is though he would take 2-5 shots just to land some of his beatifiul uppercuts. Now PBF is not a powder puff puncher like some here would make you think he is. He has power but its not at Cottos level. More like Luis Collazo level which is decent power but
Is this enough power to keep Margarito straight? We all saw how he took Cottos bombs and just kept grinning and coming forward. I would have **** my pants if i was Cotto.

-People talk about PBF's stamina but come on he throws about 30-40 punches a round. While he may land alot of them I still dont think they would have much effect against Margarito. Margarito now he has stamina. He can chase a guy around all fight and throw over a thousand punches no problem. Which is of course what he would be doing against PBF.

-Margaritos power is underrated and I think PBFs chin is overrated. Correct me if im wrong but PBF has only been down once because of his hand right? People say that his chin must be very good. While i dont think its bad i just dont htink it has been tested enough. His defense is great so i dont think it has been tested yet. I dont think Margarito would be planning on going to PBFs chin but mostly to his body or coming upstairs with some uppercuts which are very hard to duck under.

-PBF would be able to hit Margarito with any shot he wants. If he unloads with a big shot to Margaritos head due to maybe desperation that MArgarito will not back off then what about his brittle hands. A head is a very hard thing to punch. Whos to say that PBF would not hurt his hand on Margaritos face. Clottey did it. So why not PBF?

-MArgarito will get sick of chasing PBF around and he could just rough him up to take PBF out of his game. The size difference will be very apparent here. Hatton could not do it becausee he was simply jsut too small. But Margarito is a very strong WW and I could see him throwing PBF down in a clinch out of frustration. Or just pushing him around at every clinch. PBF is a man and a man cant keep getting pushed withouth losing his cool.

Now I would still put my money on PBF. But lets think the unthinkable and say Margarito pulls out the victory. What would that do for his legacy and what would it do for PBFs?

Honestly guys lets be serious. No huggers just serious posters.

 

Thats true. It would show that PBF was ducking him for a reason and it might make his stay at WW seem a little more planned out than what it looks like at the moment.

Scar what strategy do you think PBF would use against Margarito??

 

At first i would always say. PBF will just outbox Margarito silly.
Then i think about it though. Margarito just keeps coming through anyones punches. Cintron and Cotto are not light hitters. They are the two hardest hitters at WW. SO you know PBF wont dent him at all.
PBF would have to run nearly the whole fight and at some point he is going to get caught in between the ropes and Margarito.
Also not to mention what will the judges think when they see Margarito looking for the fight while PBF tries to get away from it as much as possible.

And yes PBFs jab to the body is pretty damn good.

 

Yes stamina is the key for PBF and everything you said is what he should do. But has Mayweather ever had anyone come at him and throw over a thousand punches at him?
I mean you know that Margarito would be in top shape for this fight and willing to throw that many if not more. You also have to take into account that the judges will not be impressed by PBF "running" since he should not ever stand close to Margarito.
The more i think about it the more i think that Margarito could outwork PBF for the UD. You say that PBF should throw a few quick punches and then get out or clinch but you know Margarito will keep coming forward all fight long even if PBF land every single punch he throws. So PBF is gonna have to throw alot more than what he normally throws while keep clinching with a bigger man and trying to move away from him as much as possible.

I dont care who you are but that seems nearly impossible to do. The stamina needed for that would be hmmm... i dont know how to explain it. Your stamina has to be way way up there. I dont know man. I always saw this fight going to PBF but i dont know anymore. Just to be safe i would of course bet on PBF though.
