I don't know if posts about this have been made but anyway. Out of all boxers from 135 to 147, I think that Antonio Margarito is the one who can really get Mayweather now. Antonio is a huge welter with incredible stamina, throws a lot of punches, and hits hard enough to get to lil Floyd. Then again, Floyd is elusive but the key to sucess is the volume of punches. That's when Margarito gets him. Comments?
hmm
Once Floyd Mayweather can discourage him from coming forward (which won't be as difficult for Mayweather as many people think.) It'll be all downhill for Margarito and a stoppage is very possible. Just look at what Roy use to do when people use to try to come at him all crazy. After he discouraged them (using accurate power punching, up and down, and moving) he would land at will.
There is no way that PBF will stop Margarito.
Ever.
He couldn't stop Castillo, was never close to stopping Castillo, so he will never, ever stop Margarito. Margarito comes into fights 10 lbs bigger than Castillo even. PBF could win, but, it would not be easy at all. He probably would not look good doing it. Also Roy had more power p4p than Floyd, so that's different.
leave this alone, Mayweather fans refuse to acknowledge that Margarito is a bigger stronger version of Castillo who gave Floyd a lot of trouble. Floyd by KO? pfffffff 170 pound daniel santos couldn't knock him down u think little floyd will do it, no way. The only way he would discourage Tony is by outboxing him, i see this as either Margarito by KO/TKO or floyd by decision. You all know which one i favor.
I agree with this post.I think if Mayweather can Ko Margarito then I will officially make him the greatest ever right in the middle his career.Better than Ali better than SRR.
I favor the punching volume of Margarito over the slick style of Floyd. I don't think Floyd will beat Margarito because he will be way too small and underpowered in this fight. It's a clear issue of size and strength.
If PBF can beat Margarito then I'd put him up there with Sugar Ray Robinson. Until then, I will bet on Margarito.
Floyd wins by UD. Not knockout.
Margarito would not land a good punch against Mayweather. Even if he did, I think Mayweather would have the chin for it. And he would land many more punches than Margarito.

Daniel Santos landed clean shots on Tony in the first 2 rounds and never discouraged him from coming forward. Santos was HUGE for that fight, 170. Do you really think Mayweather moving UP to 147 could discourage Tony? i really doubt it, Mayweather's only chance is a 12 round boxing clinic, with few exchanges.
I could see Mayweather winning a decision, i said that before, but there's no way he knocks Margarito out. Watch Tony fight a giant Junior Middleweight and take the punches well, before you say a junior welterweight is gonna knock him out. FLOYD is an AWESOME boxer with skills much greater that Margarito, BUT he would be a prettyBOY fighting a real MAN. Tony's work-rate and size are his biggest assets in this fight. And it has nothing to do with race, im admitting that PBF is the number 1 fighter p4p, but pound for pound goes out the window when you're actually in the ring with a bigger guy.
WOW...there are a lot of PBF fanboys on this site I guess. Yall musta started watching boxing 2 years ago.
Peep this...Floyd has no chance in hell of stopping Antonio Margarito. Now you call can go change your posts so as not to look like total homers.

PBF would make AM look silly. I don't think he'd stop him but AM would be countered all night. This is the same AM that struggled with Antonio Diaz who Mosely blew out in under 5 rounds. Yes AM is solid but he's a bit overrated by some in the forums. I'd like to see him fight Joshua Clottey so 2 fighters that no one wants to fight can showcase their talent.

I think margartio could beat Mayweather by stoppage...
Not because his skills are as good or even as close to mayweather's ... they are not...
Not because he is as fast or even close... he is not.
Simply because Margarito is so much bigger, and has so much more reach than just about anyone floyd has faced, has tons of stamina, is super hungry, isnt gun shy, is strong.
I guess you could say I choose Margarito because he is a SOLID risk/prospect/champ/fighter at a weight I believe Mayweather would be at a serious disadvantage.
This isnt Roy Jones Jr. (good small fighter) vs Ruiz (very bad heavy fighter) scenerio.. This is Mayweather (good small fighter) vs Margarito (Solid big fighter)
Have you seen Margarito fight? Little floyd will NOT stop Margarito ever, Mayweather is a GREAT boxer but he would be in their with a much bigger guy who he could outbox but not hurt, its not mayweathers skills its his lack of size.
i dont want to make this an issue of race, but in this case it may be. i personally dont think it matter what race you are, if your a better boxer, than your a better boxer. i know you like margarito, but he is totally unproven. what makes you think he would beat, never mind stop floyd, who rite now, is the p4p king???
Floyd would make Margarito eat glove all day until the ref stops it.
