    Starting out fast. See Cintron the second time. He learned his lesson to start faster. (waiting on you to bash Cintron)

    Thats why I almost dont want this fight to happen because Floyd will run all night and his fans will call it skills

    Actually it's the other way around PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Margo.

    Floyd can't beat Williams nor Margarito now and that's why he retired.

    The WW champ Floyd fights will be ready to lose after Mayweather picks the precise moment.

    Why can't he be Ali or the old timers and duke it out against the top guys in his division for nearly a decade? This is why Floyd won't ever be this special.

    I agree. But what happens when those counters don't affect Margarito in the least, like in the Cotto fight, and when Margarito JOGS after Mayweather making him move all night, like in the Cotto fight?
    Mayweather moves better than Cotto, but doesn't hit as hard.
    Margarito will just run in and swing away. Can Floyd deal with that?
    Honestly, I don't know. And we'll never find out because Floyd has , is, and always will avoid Margarito like the plauge.

    So starting faster against Cintron is proof that he can adjust?

    I'm talking about adjusting to situations in the ring. Margarito's style is one thing, just constant pressure and stalking with very poor ring cutting.

    Tony is one of my top 3 favorites right now, but he cannot beat Floyd. If Tony did know how to cut off the ring, he would have stopped Cotto 2 rounds sooner. When it comes to "hit and run" or "run and pot shot" type tactics PBF is WAY better than Cotto. As much as it pains me to say this, Floyd would pot shot his way to a pretty clear UD over Margarito. Stylistically this is not an exciting fight.

    His skills are 100x worse though.

    Cotto's skills were better too

    Not against the best welterweight at the time in Cotto. :D
