How do you think Margarito would have done against Mayweather??

honestly i remember when Larry Merchant was pushing that fight, I wouldnt have fought him either. He was an unknown. I didnt watch him fight a full 12 rounds till P Will.. Now Cotto, i believe was a blatant duck.

Margs would have likely finished strong on his feet winning a couple if not a few rounds due to his virtual non defense and slow methodical pace. Unlike Pwill's relentless toe to toe offense, Floyd would have used the ring more and offered lateral movement.

Marg would have missed plenty shots and eaten straight right counters in addition to getting tied up along the ropes.

Not sure he or his people would have requested an immediate rematch.

No doubt Margs chin would hold up, though.

Same reason I picked Cotto over him. Pac is going to be there to get hit and that makes it much more exciting and competitive than a Floyd fight with Marg would be.

I figure Mayweather would likely dominate early, but as the fight progressed I would expect Mayweather to take increasing amounts of punishment. He probably would have walked away with a decisive win but he would have taken more damage in that fight than any other in his entire career and he had no desire to deal with that.

I agree with this post..I think May most likely wins but not as easy as some think..He had troubles with JLC because of size and the fact that he could not hurt him...Margas is even bigger and(Maybe he did have loaded gloves)a harder puncher and far more willing to take a punch to give one..And Margas throws punches from everywhere hard guy to time even for May..IMO not an easy fight for May based on styles...

LMFAO good one...

[any craic lad?]

I think Marg would have given Floyd alotta trouble a big strong 5 11 welterweight who can throw all night.Like Floyd was in the early rounds in my opinion having trouble with Ricky just because Ricky was crowding Floyd but all he was throwing was like 30 or 40 punchesat Floyd now Floyd later figured Hatton out but Hatton is not a big strong WW as good as i feel Luis Collazo is he aint a big hitter but he had Hatton in all sorts off trouble in their last round.Now imagine Margarito in the middle rounds cranking his punch output up to the 100 mark walking Floyd down testing his will i think it would have been unbelievably close in 2008 with the Margarito that fought Cotto against Floyd 08

I agree Margo would have shown up fully loaded with plaster soup running down both his arms, but he would've missed too many shots to
win it.

Cotto boxed his head off until the plaster dried. Margs cant knock u out with a clean shot to the chin but will break your ribs by the end of the fight.. Im not buying that bs... With that boy Pacman, in the 5th round his ass goes down
