Top Rank has been dying to get an elite fighter in the ring with Margarito for years. Why? Because they believe he can win, that's why. It's called a calculated risk. A gamble. It's something you do in investing. Business.
As I mentioned in another thread Top Rank has thrown around alot of money to try and get guys like Mayweather, Mosley, and now Cotto in the ring with Margarito. Offering Mayweather, and then Mosley 8 million dollars to fight Antonio Margarito at the time was outrageous. There was no possible way that money made sense. Top Rank made the offer knowing they could make the it back, and more, in the long term. They aren't stupid, in fact Top Rank has demonstrated itself to be potentially the most shrewd and clever promotional company in the sport of Boxing.
Now, with this theory in mind knowing that Top Rank was willing to gamble millions and millions of dollars that Margarito could beat Mayweather, Mosley and now Cotto; you tell me who he could beat out of these three. Please pick any or all of the three who you think Margarito could beat.
MULTIPLE CHOICE POLL
margarito gets embarrassed by all three, with mosley being the closest fight.
its what the other guy said, margo is the sacrificial lamb here - like anyone even has to be told.
Mosley is the better ring general than Mayweather IMO.
Really? lol.

On record I'd like to say that I was on this theory long before the pieces of the puzzle started falling into place. Arum's desire to have the fight held in Las Vegas is fundamental.
He wants Margarito's coronation to take place in the West.
I think Margarito is just too strong for Floyd to pot shot to a win, I mean Tony gets rough in there and Floyd does not hit hard enough for Tony to keep off of him.
it would basicly turn into a runaway fight for Floyd he will not be able to get anything done on the inside with Tony, Tony is simply too damn strong, and if Floyd does win this fight he will lose alot of his own fans becuase that is the only style that might get it done as far as Floyd is concerned.
Mosley is too old he may as well stick to the smaller welters, Cotto I give a shot simply because Cotto has a style that can do well on the inside with Tony if Tony cant deal with body shots Cotto will break Tony down late.
Look Top Rank and I agree they aint stupid, lets not also forget that Floyd to was with Top Rank and he more than likely got to see Tony upclose at the Top Rank gym, I am sure Floyd knows exactly why he dont want Tony.
It's a good strong argument, I can't deny it.

The idea is to put Margarito in there with a name fighter he has a good chance at winning and if he wins, he becomes a big name.Margarito is very marketable
because of his style and ethnicity.
Against Winky,the odds Margarito wins that fight is much slimmer thats why Arum offered half the money he offered to Mayweather to fight Margarito.
Then why even offer him money in the first place? I'll tell you why. They offer him a crazy low amount of money. "Low warp?! It was 4 million dollars!" If you are going to offer Shane Mosley 8 million dollars then you better offer the #2 p4p fighter (at the time) 8 million too. Winky deserved sure as hell more then 4 million, but Arum threw a bogus offer out there making it seem like Margarito was ducked again.
It was just fuel to fire to become the "most feared man in boxing" Arum was actually pretty smart in raising Magarito for how limited he really is. When Arum couldn't resign Mayweather he might as well tried to get him for one last bout/smear him as bad as he can since Arum and Mayweather hate each other.
Try to smear Mayweather by making it seem like Margarito ducked him (lololol) and build up a name. I'm not to firmiliar with the Shane Mosley thing, but I know that Mayweather and Winky did not duck Antonio Margarito.
(Antonio Margarito would not beat Shane Mosley either. His best chance is against Cotto, but he'll lose that too)
PBF- No chance,unless by a miracles marg catches him
Ssm- He has a good chance, people talk about his speed but it really has dropped from when he was in his prime. Hes still faster then Marg but that wont effect marg as much because shane is not slick he just infront of your face. I think marg can take his punches if Cotto took them. Marg could beat him SD.
Cotto- Good chance of beating him if he catches him with a good accumulation of punches. He would have to use his height ,use his jab.2 things tony forgets to use against smaller opponents.I have nothing against tony hes good just hasnt shown me enough. He could win but we will see July 26. Like I stated before may the best man win.
I'm glad I asked, excellent breakdown. I agree for the most part.
So, who can Margarito beat out of these guys? Time to get on subject.

The fuck are you talking about you came at me talking shit.
Can you not read? You told me twice in two consecutive posts that I was bitching when I was presenting a complex scientific piece. Don't cry now.
Give your opinion then. But do it without repeatedly telling the other party that they're bitching or some other whiny shit. Speak your peace and mind your manners. Show respect and you will get respect. Maricon.

How old r you like 15? not everyone is going to agree with what you say. I think its the whole point of a forum to have a discussion, not to have tantrums. Fuckin' Cupcake
