    Nobody can beat Money Mayweather simple as. Theres all this hype about Margarito, but PBF would UD him. Mayweather is the king and nobody can beat him, not even Manny Paciquio.. and if Hatton cant beat him no1 can. The only person with the boxing skills to abuse Mayweather is Joe Calzaghe but the weight difference is too much.

    Im saying Hatton and Margarito are 2 completely different fighters so you cant even class them under the same bracket

    Hatton comes in head first, throws then clinches

    Margarito comes in, parries and throws and keeps on throwing, thats the difference.

    Discuss the topic and stop asking me stupid questions...

    Honestly, Hearns, Leonard & Pernell are the only guys that I'd possibly favor over PBF at 147.

    I wasn't talking about their tactics, and you didn't mention their tactics either. Only thing you mentioned was "pressure". And as we've witnessed, it doesn't go so well for guys that pressure PBF. Be more specific in your statements and calm down.

    Cutting off the ring

    Anticipating Mayweathers right hand and nullyfying that by keeping head down and coming in under and throwing to the body which is what Margo does, he did it to Santos many many times and cracked him with good shots to the body.

    Must keep making slight adjustments, using a lot of faints

    Effective use of the Jab to throw Mayweather off from setting up.

    Definetly trying to rough him up and enforce themself in the clinches.

    Watching Mayweathers Guard, Uppercuts would be effective in close, which is what Margo does.

    Not letting Floyd rest for any moment of the 1st 6 rounds, make him run around and run the steam out of his legs, whilst constantly trying to nail him up the middle.

    I believe the middle is the key area, uppercuts, punches to the chest.

    Mayweathers guard is good for blocking swinging hooks but not uppercuts, if in range.

    When he does get cornered, body body body.

    It can be done, but it just depends on if his opponent is willing to put the work in...

    Its hard to follow a counter puncher around and beat him but it can be done but bullying tactics have to be involved, rough house tactics, get him worried of the size difference in there.

    It will tell in the later rounds too...Floyd will slow down, but all depends on if Margo does really good body work early.

    And as long as the referee doesn't break the action Margo will weid into him in close and eventually I think the momentum of the fight would change.

    Instead of Mayweather setting up he will be setting up and not able to put any pop into the shots because it will be a constant mauling, Margarito would definetly need some head movement aswell.

    Head down, keeping a low chin to chest type head position

    Nice one. Now you just gotta find an athlete that can do all those things & not fold while under pressure. And Mayweather can switch up style on you, he's very adaptive. & to add, whoever this fighter will be, it wont be Margo, thats for sure.

    I said I would probably favor Robinson over PBF at 147

    Must've missed that, I thought made it clear you would only favour Pernell, Leonard and Hearns. Oh well...

    Personally if i were to fight him tomorrow i would be looking for these things from myself:Stamina,good ko power,and the most relentless agression Floyd has ever faced( im talking Marciano,Frazier type of pressure with constant body,arm,and head shots)....Id be looking for Calzaghe type of punch numbers thrown
