Physically Stronger: Margarito or Floyd?

Pit was saying that, and he was arguing with me to no end, which is why I started the thread. And I remember correctly, you said it too.

 

Ruler? Nallage likes to measure with his mouth.:yuck

 

He said I was assuming that Floyd was weaker than Cotto, which I admit I am. If he doesn't think Floyd is weaker than Cotto, than wtf does he think, that they're equal in strength?atsch

And if I'm not mistaken, you said that you felt Cotto was stronger than Floyd but that Floyd was stronger than Margarito, which puts you in a very small minority.:deal

 

Its just "maybe" now? Okay, whatever. I never said that about punching power, though their were others that did. But it would be foolish to ignore the ability and way someone inflicts damage when talking about strength. I was talking about physical size in particular, Cotto being thicker, and Margarito being taller and stronger, and thicker too. Both come into the ring around 160 while Floyd has topped out at 150, and are universally considered by just about all "experts" 2 of the strongest guys at 147. Just watching how they handle their opponents should make this rather obvious. Floyd's only fought 1 real welterweight, Baldomir, who he ran from the whole night, and we all saw what Pacquiao did to Oscar. Zab is a blown up 140lber and although he cut Cotto with some clean punches, he was unable to stop him from coming forward and wilted to relentless pressure and power punching (something that takes strength), and something that Floyd was unable to do. Hatton, also a blown up 140lber, was also pushing Floyd around, but his aggression was ineffective and he got outskilled on the inside and got caught and KO'd when he charging in. I'll give Floyd his credit where its due for his speed, footwork, stamina, and defensive prowess, but to say he's also stronger than guys like Cotto and Margarito who make their bones mowing over guys, Margarito especially, that's just some ignorant-ass ****.
