    Some great points there.:good
    Many factors made me favour Margo over Floyd,and that hasnt changed.
    It would have been a different guy that Moseley fought,im convinced of it,in the same way it was a different Tyson that fought Berbick/Spinks than the one that fought Douglas.

    Exactly, all to often people tend to break it down to skills, and skills are good to have no doubt, but there are other conditions that play roles in a fighters menatlity, out side issues etc...

    and if Floyd isnt interested in the fight, which I refered to in that post, how does he get himself up to put in 100% how does he find a way to get interested, I know Margarito wouldnt have had to lose 35 pounds to fight Mayweather if he knew that fight was in the mix, Margarito made the mistake in thinking Mosley couldnt hurt him and he partied a bit too much after the Cotto win, the man had to lose 35 pounds in 8 weeks not healthy at all.

    Now had he known it was a Mayweather fight, we would have seen a different Margarito probably better than he was for the Cotto fight. and depending on what kind of fight it turned out to be, what the odds and ends were nobody really knows who would win the fight, we all have an opinon, but in order for any of us to be correct, a fight has to take place.

    Look Floyd did accomplish all he wanted to in boxing, he wanted big money fights with the smallest risk he got that and retired, but to call him the best, to say he cleaned out the divsion, to say he is better than so and so when he is just a baby in the sport and retired leaving other great fights on the table its just out right insane.

    Tito was accused of wrapping his hands too tight ... Margarito was accused of having plaster on his wraps ...

    By training better and with more discipline,,not losing so much weight so rapidly, and being far more focused and mentally prepared.
    Using another Tyson analogy;Tyson didnt handle Buster's speed and boxing skills very well,but he DID handle Spinks and biggs' pretty effectively.
    Why?Mainly preparation and focus.

    I still don't think that would change the outcome of the fight with Floyd..Tony will always have trouble with slick boxers who have good handspeed and can move well on there feet!:bbb

    Train better?:lol::rofl:lol::rofl:lol: Tony could train for 10,000 years and nothing would prepare him for the speed, movement. ring generalship, mental toughness, accuarcy, defense and counter-punching he would have faced against PBF and you know it. Tony would still be the same limited plodder who can't handle movement is one-dimensional, has slow hands, can't deal with counter-punching or worldclass handspeed he's ****ed.:deal He wouldn't be able to hit PBF with radar. His workrate would drop and PBF would set a new compubox record for counter-punches landed.:yep He woud beat that broken down windmill worse than he did Gatti. And I would be right here after the fight to rub it in your ****ing faces like always.:hi:

    He has to take the fight first, that would be a good step to prove us wrong! but obviously Floyd doesnt feel the same way as you do Pimp

    No need to he's obviously satisfied with his legacy. He's retired from boxing with mega paydays on the table. I mean what more does he need to prove? After Margo there would be someone else it would never end for PBF haters until he was old and beaten then they can **** on his legacy the same way Roy Jones Jr haters did to him. I don't blame him retire on top and leave um wanting more or wishing they got a chance to see you beaten, like you guys always do.
