    i hear you...but i think he just forces Floyd into a tough ugly fight better than the other two...the cas fight was ugly and cas took a lot of good blows to get his in and i think Margo can do that. I just think Cotto and PW will try and box floyd and it won't happen. do i think he wins nah...but if i had to i like his style.....pressure makes floyd uncomfortable...not saying its a gurantee but it makes him extremely uncomfortable and margo is a tall long tough tough fighter with good power.

    plus look at the Cas fight...no where near PBF skill wise but look what happened two good close fights...in fact the only fight that is thrown up when talking bout his record.

    A decent amount thought Hatton would win not a lot

    Agreed

    I don't think so. Many predicted a one sided beatdown

    I do remember Baldo being sold as a legit threat. It was never considered a 50/50 fight though.

    This would've been true had Judah beat Baldo. That loss caused Judah to be a 5/1 underdog.

    I don't think it was 60/40, but Corrales was slightly favored

    No he wasn't. Many people remarked that Castillo was basicially selling his belt to Floyd by agreeing to fight him the first time. Floyd was favored in the secon fight as well.

    You're exaggerating with many of these fights. Ironically, you didn't mention the Chicanito fight. Floyd was acutally like a 3/1 underdog in that fight.

    Margo is not as skilled as a prime Castillo. I don't think Cotto would try to outbox Floyd, everyone knows that's suicide. Cotto has a good jab, good handspeed, and can cutoff the ring. He would definately pressure Floyd behind his jab. I'm not saying he would win, but he has a much better chance than Margo. Speed kills in this sport. Floyd has too much speed for Margo, and Margo doesn't have the skill to make up for his lack of speed. Cotto does.

    People really believe that Margo, Williams, & Cotto can beat PBF, you guys are crazy.

    Money M would counter Williams all nite, and Williams would get tired in the 8th round. He could stand there and brawl with Williams if he wanted to, or he could just fight him close/inside if he wanted to. Money can basically fight this guy in any way that he wants and beat him.

    As for Cotto, Money would hurt him a few times because he's gonna get countered alot and I guarantee Money has the power to hurt Cotto. I dont know if he would ko him, but he would possibly knock him down because he would have alot of great counter punches directly to that chin. And Cotto wouldn't land all those bosy punches on Floyd because his defense is too good, and PBF can take a body punch. We dont know if Cotto is that much stronger than PBF if stronger at all, but what we do know is he can handle the power seeing that he handled Oscars power just fine, and Oscar is naturally bigger and stronger than any Welter out there.

    As far as Margo, I see Money countering this dude all nite, getting off first, and just schooling this guy. He'd just skill his ass all nite. It would be another Hatton fight but without the KO or else it would be Baldomir vs PBF all again. Margo would get a beating worse than Cotto.

    Cotto has the best chance. But Cotto would definetely lose by UD.

    LoL. After PBF beat Hatton, Larry Merchant said he thinks a guy like Cintron could give him his first loss. LMAO!!!!! Are you serious. That would be more like PBF vs Gatti 2! LoL, you guys crack me up.

    I was laughing in the 8th round when PBF just started tearing Hatton's ass apart. Hatton constantly pressuring and PBF just quickly out of nowhere right hand leading his ass. LMAO! Man, its funny how he be playin with these "tough opponents"

    Hell No ... no one out here right now w/ a big enough name to gain a fight with him doesn't have enough "goods" to beat PBF.

    I says when its official - he's done for good and he's undefeated

    Of course he earned his belt. When they say Castillo basically sold his belt to Floyd, what they were trying to say was that Floyd was such a sure bet to win that even Castillo didn't think he could win.

    good points.....i picked margo cus i think he has the tools to make it a tough fight....i think Cotto closes to slow his pressure is calculated and methodical he takes his time and floyd will just bait him in all night for pot shots (str8 rights) and i mean its a snow ball effect from there...but u have good points to.

    & guys like Cotto, Margo & Williams damn sure wouldn't beat Floyd even if he was still boxing.

    Man, you guys just don't know how he would skill these guys if he ever fought them.

    Man, he went in the corner and isolated himself away from the whole situation so he wouldn't **** up his money. How is that his fault that his Uncle stepped up for him. And its funny that Roger said he would do something like that before the fight. LoL.

    As long as he avoid a real challenge he will not lose.
