    Both outcomes are highly unlikley. However, Margo KO'ing Floyd is the more unlikely scenario. Floyd's hands were good enough to wobble Oscar and knock out Ricky. You can have all the power in the world, it you're not landing, you're not going to score a knockout. Conversely, you could have the sub par power, but score a KO if land the right punch. Margo leaves himself open alot. Floyd would have plenty of chances to land that shot. Margo won't have many opportunities to land that shot on Floyd.

    I agree that IF Marg was to win, I'd tip it to be by a decision... Due to, as you said, him (Marg) outworking him (Floyd).

    :lol: You just don't stop. Yeah, Floyd was faking hand injuries since he was at 130, sure.:roll: Naw man, his hands were brittle. However, this is boxing. You have get through that stuff, which is what he did. Even when he performed well he would often talk about his hands. He even mentioned how he hurt his hand after he whooped up on Judah.

    And even when he hurt his hand, even if the fight turned out to be boring, he'd still dominate.

    Basically the only close fight in his career where you could possibly argue the other guy won, Castillo 1, he didnt use the hand excuse (I believe). He blamed it on his shoulder. :D

    All other fights were won with relative ease.

    :lol: Seriously, where do you come up with this stuff? Baldo to did not bust up Floyd's face and Margo isn't 100x faster than Baldo. Funny post though.

    :lol:

    Judah won at best 3 of the first 4 rounds (1 of those was close, coulda been even) and then proceeded to get BEAT DOWN in every round following.

    His blatant low blow, one of the most blatant you'll see in the ring, was clearly an attempt to avoid a KO. Always thought that, always will.

    But will PBF come out of retirement at all? I say no, never.

    What first post? And what second post?

    I'd be surprised if I've ever agreed with you. By I'm open to it if you show exactly which post.

    Yeah, you are crazy. In your opinions on boxing, at least.

    Dude...one good punch that wobbled Oscar, while looking good, won't do anything when he'll need to whollup Margarito a whole lot more. You can't say it's more unlikely for Margarito to get a KO just because no one has KO'd Mayweather yet. Nor will his defense really stop Margarito, since he'll attack the body, not the head. Can't sholder roll away a pumch tot he kidkey or liver.

    Floyd might have the chances, but he won't take them as he is NOT a risk taker at this point, or the last couple years of his career. Floyd knows his mitts are bad. Why do you think he throws maybe half the punches he used to?

    Here's the post fight interview

    [YT]eNAa5bAy7Tc[/YT]

    If call that getting busted up, then Margo has had his face rearranged after pretty much every fight. Castillo never beat Mayweather. However, it's clear by your other posts that you're none to interested in reality. Keep it up, you're doing a good job of being the forum court jester.:good

    It could be argued that PBF by KO is as funny, if not slightly less, than Margarito winning period (by KO or Decision)

    Margo's punches are wide and slow. A fast guylike Floyd with great, eyes, speed and reflexes will see all of those punches coming. Cotto is always getting wobbled and his speed, reflexes and defense aren't on Floyd's level. Despite this, he still made it to the 11th. Clottey doesn't have the vision or defensive skills of a Mayweather and he said he was able to see all of Margo's punches coming, and he went the full 12 with bum mitts. Seriously, when have you ever seen anyone hurt Mayweather with body punches? Castillo landed plenty on Floyd and he was still able to opperate at a high level.

    Floyd's hands have always been bad, and his punch output has been pretty consistent throughout his career. He's never been a high volume puncher.
