Bullshit. If your boy is so damn good, he can fight Margarito.
Tony is no top 10 p4p guy, but he damn sure isn't overrated. All that people say (and rightfully so) is that Marg deserves a shot. He was rated number one at 147 before Floyd ever got there, and none of the so-called champs gave him a shot. The reason is simple: Margarito is a genuine threat, regardless of how unskilled you think he is.
Mayorga's 'unskilled' ass threw loopy shots from odd angles to his advantage to beat Forrest twice, Andrew Lewis, and also Spinks in many people's eyes.
Straight punches are not the only way to be effective. If you want to write off Margarito and say he doesn't deserve a shot at Floyd just because he throws loopy punches...that's a crock of shit.
o shut up..mayorga beat andrew lewis (c class fighter) beat forrest 1 time, was easily outboxed in the 2nd fight then lost to spinks
I agree with you all. AM can fight and punch, but he is not that good. Everyone states that PBF needs to fight him, it will happen, PBF is young and so is AM. Everyone on this panel would try to fight delahoya($$$)first before they would fight AM. AM recently mentioned fighting delahoya and he brought race into the equation. He said since Oscar was Mexican and he is Mexican, Oscar should fight him over PBF. AM is not dumb, he is trying to get paid too. He knows that fighting PBF and delahoya will get him there.
He looks like shit and is embarrassingly overrated.

what does that say about mayweather who doesn't wan't to fight him "not even for 8 million dollars" when floyd does fight him, floyd will probably be lucky to get 5 million
for those that never saw it....

that's a very good point. mosley throws loopy right hands and that's another reason why i think mayweather would have problems with a conditioned athlete like mosley. then again, we could also have another lacy-calzaghe on our hands where a muscle-bound big man gets exposed against and old-school technician.
one huge differnce their is floyd ain't taller or as tall as margarito. any fighter will tell you having a height advantage over you opponet is an advantage
and does floyd hit as hard as margarito? i don't think he does. where calzaghe we all knew had at least some power in his punchs.
also i think folyd is too much of a counter puncher to take the lead as calzaghe did, and margarito ain't just going to wing shots hoping to hit somthing he throws punch expect to land or to set up his other shot. either way floyd is in trouble.
and another problem with floyd waiting to take on margarito is that by the time floyd fights margarito he will have all these new challenges waiting for him in a now deep division. if floyd continues at welterweight his zero will go.
yea i dont want to bandwagon on one side or the other, but man i can't see it being a close fight. the guy would miss floyd alll night. of course he has a very legitamite punchers chance, he is defenitly able to hurt floyd. but from what i saw there, of margs skills and abilities, floyd would give him a boxing lesson.
margaritos style is misleading, he looks like a sloppy big man at times, but you see enough of him then you start to see what he can do.
one thing i like margaritos chances is that margarito like to throw looping shots, wide looping shots. now floyd ain't a fighter to stay inclose on a fighter or fight him close. floyd likes to fight you from a distance, what better punch then to throw looping shots. especially when you know as soon as he lands a shot he is going to step right out of harms way, not expecting or seeing a margarito overhand right and bam! its all she wrote for floyd.
and if floyd dares to stand with margarito then....if floyd didn't like the body punchs castillo threw at him, i can't imagine he'd like the punch his body will receive with margarito.
if floyd ever fights margarito he'd have to be on his toes all night giving margarito a lot of angles or else its good night. worse thing floyd can do against margarito is come straight down the middle with his punchs and step straight back out, he be counnters with timed shots by margarito.
the sooner the better for floyd to challenge margarito, floyd doesn't fight as often and this is effecting his skills, his timing ain't their as it used to be, his defence is not as good as it was, he's even starting to telegraph his punchs. the sooner he fights margarito the better for floyd. the more he waits the more he has a chance to get ko'd.
if floyd wants to hit margarito he'd have to step in with his shots and run! backwards as fast as he can, to not get hit by margaritos counter punchs. a huge challenge for floyd

and i dont think floyd would have to step in with his shots, hed slip one of those slow ass shots, since marg is always coming forward, land 3 or 4 punches and pivot off out of danger.... thats just how i see it happening. i've been wrong before haha
that was the first marg fight ive seen. and he did not impress me at all. wide, slow, telegraphed punches. hed barely touch floyd.

Margarito stays fighting bums. He hasn't fought anyone of worth since he turned pro. The biggest win of his career was against a prospect. Let me repeat, because this has not gotten through to many people. The biggest win of his career was against a prospect. I'm gonna take a nap, wake me up when he fights someone worthy of all this hype.
I have to agree. Margarito is a good fighter but IMO not worth of all this hype that he's getting as of late. I do agree that Maywhether needs to fight him though just to please the eyes of the public that are screaming for this fight. I can't see PBF losing to Margarito.
MArg was rated number one at 147 for a while before Floyd got there, and Floyd needs to fight him. Period. I don't give a shit how good you 'think' Marg is.
Floyd can prove it, if he's that damn good.
Asian you're about to get alot of ppl mad at you for saying that and then you'll see PBF name come up as the reason AM doesn't have a better resumee.LOL
Are you at all aware of how sick and tired I am of hearing about Margarito and Mayweather and all this stupidness. Let me break it down to all the Jedi Knights here: Margarito is all hype and no action. He hasn't beaten anyone of note yet, he has a resume' that would justify Arturo Gatti's induction into the Hall of Fame.

couldn't of said it better myself.

Yeah nobody in the WW division can brawl with him except Oscar.
