Mayweather v. Margarito: The Fight I Want To See

This thread should be considered for the most idiotic thread of the day. Margarito is slow, with no skills. Mayweather would beat him easier than Mosley. It would be one of the easiest wins of his career. Maragrito presents no challenges to Mayweather whatsoever.

Juts watch Mayweather Baldomir. Its free

Useless IMO. At least until I see Margarito against a real test at 147 to see what he's got left and how making the weight will affect him.

Watch PBF Corrales. It's the same fight.

The big fight for Margo is the rematch with Sergio. Then, possibly, if he wins and looks impressive against Sergio, would Mayweather fight him. After Pac, the only real tests for Mayweather are Williams and Sergio, I don't think he will fight Berto, just because Berto is still on the rise - not enough name recognition for a mega fight. Actually, don't see what Floyd would prove going past Pac. Might be Pac and done. However, my mind says Floyd is greedy for another weight class title - middleweight! If he fights Sergio he would have the best chance at that. but might wait and let Sergio build a little more by fighting, and beating, Margo.

First the JLC fight was 8 years ago, and Floyd schooled him in the rematch when he was healthy. And Ricky is much quicker, especially his footspeed than Margarito. Marg would look like an amateur against Mayweather. Plus nobody wants to see it. Marg lost his appeal after he got raped by Mosley, and people would just complain about Mayweather for fighting him.

Thanks to a glorified sparring session that was passed for an actual fight between 'Money' and a 38 year old man strongly resembling someone I used to know as 'Sugar', us non-'*****s' have had to endure the endless ramblings of 'I told you so' and further diarrhea of the mouth by this annoying mob.

Now, I'm no Mayweather 'hater'--actually, I appreciate his skill quite a lot; he's just not my type of fighter--but I'm tired of seeing him in 'asterisk' fights. I won't fault him as much for this last fight, as we--OK, maybe just me-- were all duped that Mosley had more than enough left in that 38 year old body to at least make it interesting. In fact, as the fight neared I even picked 'Sugar'--by KO/TKO no less! (Yes, I know, I don't know ****! Blah Blah Blah...)

After watching the fight--and by watching, I mean, staying awake--Mayweather clearly dominated, sans the second and maybe the first, and it is obvious that he still retains excellent speed, reflexes, and ring smarts. However, I'm hesitant in buying this performance, and not because Mosley is old. I'm not convinced because he was in with a man who simply did not throw punches and get off first. What I am convinced of now is that Mayweather has: (a) lost a step; (b) an average-to-weak chin; (c) little-to-no power; and (d) very little head movement.

Regardless of how one feels about Margarito, I don't think anyone in the division presents more of a stylistic problem for Floyd. Not Manny, not Sergio, not Paul, not Andre. Each have something to offer in a fight with Floyd: Pac's speed and non-stop unorthodox punches , Sergio's size and skills, Paul's freakish physical attributes and volume punching, and Andre's youth and speed. But it's hard to envision 'Money' not being able to solve each of their respective 'problems'. (And still, I'd love to see each of these fight!)

What Tony's style presents is the strategy of seek and destroy. There's no pretension in his game. Do you think he's even aware of a game called chess? You will never hear in his corner someone saying to him "Stay intellectual", a la Brother Naziim. No, Margarito is going to pound and pound away at every square inch of you until you either crumble or you do something about it. Mosley did something about it. He hit him with everything but the kitchen sink for every minute of every round and the man didn't fall--not convincingly, at least to my eyes--until the ninth. Do you honestly think that May has the power and balls to do that with his brittle and little hands?

He's going to outbox him, you say? Margo won't land anything on Floyd, you say? I agree with Freddy and others who've remarked that 'Money' just doesn't have 12 round legs anymore. And so, if you don't have the punch (like Mosley) to keep Tony honest, you're not gonna keep him off of you (right, Miguel Angel and Kermit?)

Is it possible that Margarito, who had the worse night of his career against the best night of Mosley's career, beats Mayweather, who's best night of his career came against the worst night of Mosley's career?

I say yes!

i wanted too see that a while back and you know floyd aint hearing that

SweetHome_Bama · May 13, 2010

I don't understand how the same people who don't want to see P-Will fight Mayweather, want to see Mayweather fight Margarito (a caught cheater)? Somebody help me out.

I'd like to see this fight also, but only if Margo is allowed to use loaded gloves

With loaded gloves - 117-111 and without - 120-108.

I'd rather just watch Pacquiao knock him out if we want to see Margo take a beating.

boxer1025 · May 13, 2010

Styles make fights, so you never know! But I have a little hunch floyd would UD him! lol

P.4.P.G.O.A.T. · May 13, 2010

Two Margarito's against Floyd wouldn't even be exciting. What in your right mind makes you think a fight between Floyd and Margo wouldbe anything short of one-sided and ridiculous?
