    Great video.
    I want to see this fight with margarito still being in his prime and not a shot fighter...It would be great because Floyd is highly skilled but Margarito would definetly test him to the max

    Great video, phloyd's fear of Margarito could not be any more obvious. His thinking patterns fall apart when he has to even talk about Margarito. Imagine what would happen to his mind if he was in the ring with Margarito attacking him? The same thing would transfer to the ring. He would fall apart mentally and be destroyed.

    Smart business decision it is to duck Margarito, he says. What he means is it would be stupid, it would be career suicide to fight Margarito.

    How would he beat him ?

    And do you think that his body would hold up against constant body punches up the middle because a lot of ESB members do not understand exactly what Margarito is doing in there.

    Im not saying I know everything because I dont but what I do know from personal experience is that someone who looks as elusive as Floyd will be feeling the effects of the bodyshots and if Castillo can bust one of Floyds ribs then I think the sheer mass of Margarito along with his punches would definetly take its toll on Floyds frame.

    Alot of factors get over looked if these 2 had to fight now.

    Floyd does get hit he just takes them, and he would definetly get hit in this fight, maybe not head but body shots, and eventually I think somewhere down the line he might get bullied and I think the running tactic would not be an option he would at some point have to trade with Margarito to get Margarito off him

    he should really just shut up. that was really childish. if he doesnt want to fight, fine. but he should stop letting everyone know he doesnt want to fight anymore

    Your right Margo's unbeatable. It doesn't matter how skillful you are if someone big & strong keeps coming forward no-one can beat him.:patsch

    Answer the question,

    you dont have to be sarcastic about.

    Its a simple question, how is Mayweather going to beat Margarito ?

    i.e. what tactics can u see him using ?

    Anyone can say he can win, how do you see him winning ?

    Sorry about the sarcasm. Floyd should box & move like Cotto was doing early on. Floyds a lot quicker on his feet & better defensively than Cotto. He can go 12 rounds without getting hit IMHO, but we'll never know

    I hope that fight happens too, it has to, that would always be looked back as a fight that should of took place but didn't.

    Bad for boxing in my opinion but there is better things going on now that Mayweather is gone.

    We have real fighters who actually want to fight so let them get it on, Floyd had his time...
