    Huh?? If Floyd was past prime then Mosely was in his grave. Beating Margarito isn't even a top 5 Mosely win, let's not go crazy here. Marg got busted in that fight for cheating and then got busted up. He instantly turned into Brandon Rios... All heart, great cardio, but a total punching bag with no pop.

    This forum is cancer when it comes to floyd and never gives him his due

    They give him stick at every turn. Floyd isn't the most likeable guy in the world, but he was an absolute master boxer and right up there with the very best

    His haters know this deep down

    Funny thing is, these Floyd fanboys never thought anything of Margarito. Yet when Shane beat thim, they started using his name. Floyd fanboys are the worst hypocrites there it...

    To be fair, it was Mayweather haters that claimed that Marg would destroy him which I never agreed with. His first win over Cotto was huge, but a) He cheated b) Cotto fought a poor fight imo that he took way more punishment than he needed to. Mayweather would have been too slick and it'd have been a boring fight with Marg plodding along and Mayweather would have been basically on his bike. Even with loaded wraps Margarito needed to land volume punches and in his prime I just don't see Mayweather getting hit enough where Marg wins.

    Agreed Floyd is one of the best to do it but not just his haters make the topic of him annoying also his fan boys who think he can do no wrong.

    ROFL You guys never give up It has NEVER EVER been proven that Antonio Margarito ever cheated with loaded gloves. All the CSAC ever had was Naz Richardsons blatant lie about plaster blocks falling from Margaritos wraps they acted like the Keystone Kops & confiscated Marg's boxing licence before the wraps had ever been tested. NO plaster was found but Instead of admitting they'd made a mistake the CSAC still refused to return his licence saying '" We are not returning Margaritos boxing licence because we still SUSPECT he may have tried to load his gloves. What happened to the US law " A suspect is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law" There never was a court only a kangaroo court
    Iwas at ringside right by Margarito's corner when he LEGITIMATELY made Cotto go to his knees &QUIT !!!
    no one queried wraps or anything. I was present when Margarito's hands were wrapped for that fight. But he is still insulted by the clowns calling him names like Margacheato claiming he had loaded gloves then too.
    As for FLOYD HE SHOWED THE WORLD HOW TERRIFIED HE WAS OF MARGARITO IN THOSE VIDEOS DOING THE ROUNDS.He cannot deny it

    You were burned by what happened to Margarito. That whole ordeal was really upsetting to you. You see it as an innocent man being framed and accused of cheating and you're appalled by how unfair that was.

    Sooooooooooooooo it's just a huge coincidence that since getting caught he got absolutely destroyed by every fighter with a name, including the guy he hospitalized prior to getting caught? And Marg never had a win stoppage after that?

    Sure dude. Sure.

    Floyd also spoke about how easy Canelo was to beat.

    You realize guys with his style don't always have a long shelf life. Look at Fernando Vargas. He was washed up at 27 due to the punishment he took.

    Comparing Vargas to Margarito ? Oh my goodness knowledge of boxing is really going down. In terms of skills the difference between them is like night and day. The only similarity is both are from Mexico
