Not just the welter weight division but Margarito has sent shock waves that are still reverbating though out boxing. Lets start with Delahoya who has always looked a fearless champion he has always looked for the biggest baddest challenge he can find. After watching Margarito destroy Cotto, Delahoya is looking for the smallest challenge physically at least in philipino boxer Manny pacquiao, guy who came from fly weight upto light weight still not at a welter weight. Now Mayweather Jr. Floyd retired ostensibly his stated reason is that his legacy is secured and he has nothing left to prove. While this is true of the light weight classes at welter weight the preception is that you did not take on your toughest challenges and in fact ducked them. Antonio Margarito after that performance against Miguel Cotto people are talking in barbershops, street corners, around the country and in Mexico, floyd mayweather not only doesnt want to fight mar he can't beat him. Floyd if you retire cause you feel your legacy is secure you need to unretire to secure if on the other hand if you retired because you interest in boxing has wained in that case stay retired cause no one with one foot in boxing and one foot out should take on the welter weight champion of the world.
I took that straight from the mouth of kellerman word for word or as close as I could while typing and listening to Kellerman. For you guys that missed it last night.
You know I should ignore your weak post....First off my parents taught me that if I am going to talk tough I should do it face to face..and no not behind a firewall, in a chat room.. I also learned through the streets of East st Louis, that nerds that talk tough in chat rooms, stay in the house where they are safe...
I would suggest "son" that if for some odd reason that one person's opinion bothers you so much that you have to go on a rampage and act like a idiot into the entire world...I mean what type of man gets on a chat room and types..

Just like gayweather you go hide behind an alt posting complete bullshit.

12boxin...I love the pipe...ha ha...However, you honestly think cotto is as good as a boxer or has the lateral movement, is as accurate, and is in the shape that Mayweather is...finally has the defense mayweather has?
I again say styles makes fights...and from what I have seen in Margo he beats fighters mayweather possibly cant, like maybe a rematch with Williams. I am not saying at welter Mayweather is better than Margo, pound per pound he is...However what I am saying is that Cotto was easily outboxing him, all the while he was backing straight up. Anyone who has boxed ( I have) knows you back out at a angle..Cotto repeatedly ( Including when he went to a knee) went straight back, and allowed margo to get some shots off, some good body work, THEN he would counter and move off laterally.
Do you honestly think the best defensive fighter of our time, is going to do this? Margo will have to straighten up his punches, as he was missing Cotto a lot, and Cotto is not near the defensive fighter Mayweather is, not by a long shot. Also, Cotto got worn down, that is not going to happen to Mayweather. There has not been a better conditioned fighter in recent memory, and no..sorry he again defensivly will not permitt Margo to wear him down. He will pot shot, stick and move, use angles all night long. You saw what cotto was doing when they boxed, you saw Mayweather vs Baldomir and vs DLH in the last 4 rounds, also vs Correles, then Castillo in the 2nd fight. 1st fight Mayweather was injured ( we all know this, but few fail to mention that).
Sorry but Margo styles is perfect for Mayweather....I Hope Margo gets lucky and knocks the arogant SOB out. I hate him, but the fact is he defensivly shuts opponents down, has the lateral movement that caused margo problems, will not wear down as the fight goes on, and the counter punching that Cotta was able to do...Hmmm Mayweather would destroy the same Margo.
Just facts!
Destroy?? Why do people argue with their hearts? It's either one extreme or the other in this place.
Is Mayweather a great boxer...YES, no doubt. He would box circles around Marg and everyone knows that BUT....
Marg is very big and strong and would NOT be hurt by Mayweather's punches. If he took everything Cotto had, he could easliy take what Mayweather has to give.
I think Mayweather could beat Marg but he would have to be running the whole night because Marg would touch him to the body and could hurt him. I don't think that Mayweather wants any pice of Marg right now.

Margerito Groupies....be honest. Margerit would get humiliaed by Floyd, and I hope that Margerito would stop floyd as I hate him. However, Cotto was EASILY out boxing Margerito. What won the fight for margerito simply was his pressure vs a Cotto that is not use to boxing, not use to having to learn how to use ring generalship, cotto that retreated most of the time directly backwards took some shots, then moved laterlly.
You can not take anything from Margerito or his great fight plan to eventually weare Cotto down and out. In fact I like Margerito, a throw back fighter...However!!!!!
Cotto is not as fast as Mayweather
Cotto is not as good defensively as Mayweather
Cotto does not counter punch as good as Mayweather
Cotto can not box as good as Mayweather,
Cotto does not have the jaw that Mayweather has
Cotto is not use to using lateral movement as much as Mayweather is
Cotto does not know how to use ring generalship like Cotto does
Cotto is not as accurate as Mayweather
Cotto does not have the reach the Mayweather has
Finally no one including Cotto has the stamina or is in as good as shape as Mayweather is.
The only thing Cotto has on mayweather is brutality, hard punching and wearing his opponents down, and none of those attributes would serve either him or Mayweather good vs the beast in Margerito. It is simply boxing, speed, counters, lateral movment and stamina. Look at how Cotto was outboxing Margerito, had he been a little bit better and better defensivly hmmmmmmm.
However, I do agree Mayweather should quit acting like a B%&tch and fight margerito. Even though I think he would win, a easy boxing match, well not easy, but he would clearly outbox Margerito, he needs to show it. I applaud Kellerman for what he did. He directly called Mayweather out, and Marerito should be doing the same.
lay off the pipe pink1:crackhead
Max Kellerman is one of the most skilled commentators out there, but I doubt anyone can pull Mayweather out of retirement.
Because he has no heart.
There is no love in his violence.
Rocky Somebody, and that's about it.
I thought Balboa had a bunch of losses. Remember, he was just a plodding club fighter before Apollo gave him his big chance.
Cowards like you should be shot.

Pelone Psyclone
Your absolutely correct. Margo has insane pressure, and will get stronger and stronger as the fight goes. However, that is Cotto he did that too. Cotto is not anywhere near the boxer Mayweather is. No where near. Not as fast, not as accurate, not as great defensive, not have the stamina, not as good as counter puncher, ...However, after 10 it was anyones fight...with Margo wear and tear and Cotto baking straight up taking shots,,,Then moving laterally all in full effect. This exploded on Cotto.
Now envision Mayweather in that fight...you think Margo was getting hit by counters all night long..and missing when Cotto used lateral movement on the ropes...What do you think will happen with he faces Mayweather who again is quicker, smarter, better boxer, used to using lateral movment where Cotto is not as experienced at it, more accurate...and come the 10 round,,Mayweather hmmmm will not be worn down as Cotto was because several things..
Mayweather will not be taking the punched Cotto did, as he his much harder to hit
Mayweather would not back straight up as Cotto did, then he would take some punishemnt then move....
Mayweather is counters will be even more precise then when margo goes to throw, mayweather will not be there to hit...any one who thinks otherwise simply is sucking Margo's dick and not being a realist...I hate mayweather but he is the best defensive fighter we have had since sweat pea...
Mayweather is much better conditioned. His workout would leave Margo and cotto mesmerized...
Yes Mayweather has to man up to take the fight, but if he did we would be saying well he needs to fight Williams now...He simply is better than margo, hatton, judah, Cotto..his biggest obstacle will be Williams. Hopefully Williams will not have a repeat quinana (1) performance... However, margo walks straight into punches, is slow, but methodical, and his style is based on the very attributes that will not beat Mayweather...
I see a lot of people thinking Mayweather is scared of Margo....ok... I again am not for Mayweather. I hope he gets his ass whipped, but the fact is he would easily outbox Margo, and Cotto. From the what I have seen in Paul williams that could be Mayweathers toughest challenge, but it would be tough for Williams too.
I think Keller man is dead on, calling mayweathr out, and Margo should do it louder and louder. But calling a person out and beating them is two different things. Margo has 1% chance of beating Mayweather. If you saw the Cotto fight, you know Mayweather is a 25x better boxer than Cotto, faster, better counter puncher, in better shape and much better at moving laterally.....You also saw how wide Margo's punches are. Yes the wear down 95% of fighters, and yes it is more crowd pleasing, and yes it was a awesome sight to behold seeing him steadily wear Cotto down...But people that was Cotto, not Mayweather, and I assure you Kellerman, Steward, nor anyof you who are intelligent boxing fans and not judging from your heart but your brains, none of you will bet a dime on Margo to win more than 3 rounds vs Mayweather.
Styles makes fights...
Styles make fights.
Yes.
Mayweather has great conditioning to move around the ring for 12.
Margarito has great conditioning to stalk and punch for 12.
Cotto was supposed to be the faster, superior boxer just as every Tony opponent has been.
How come Tony knocked his ass out then for being superior in every deparmtent?
Cotto Never Called Floyd Out. Hatton Called Floyd Out By Saying There Was No Excitement In His Fights, You Meathead
and Margarito went straight to the person, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and publicly challenged him.
Floyds response, "you'll get your chance".
Floyd retires right before Cotto Margarito.
So basically, Tony punked Floyd into retirement.
Any chance of Mayweather fighting Margarito flew out the window with that performance against Cotto.
Mayweather did very well at the lower weights where he had a ridiculous reach advantage over nearly every opponent he fought. But when he began to move up to his natural weight fighting guys his size, he really began to cherry-pick his fights, and tip-toed around the toughest fights.
He retired with a lot of questions unanswered, a lot of prime, hungry dangerous fighters calling his name. His toughest fights were ahead of him. That will pretty much be his legacy.
Mayweather stans always have this funny notion that Floyd was somehow the smaller man in many of his fights.
The facts,
Floyd has been the bigger man in the majority of his fights.
People...lets not make a mountain out of a mole hill. Kellerman called out Mayweather..So what!! As you all know I am no Mayweather fan, and Kellerman is correct. However, many are blowing this way out of proportion. Just because Kellerman thinks, hmmm whatever he thinks, (as he said that others around the nation thinks mayweather is ducking Margerito) does not really mean anything..It is a opinion...OPINION>
Even though Margerito had a tremendous showing, he IMO has a very small chance vs Mayweather. Very small. Mayweather would literally box Margerito head off. His straight ahead wear a fighter down style, would mean nothing versus Mayweather who is the best condition, hardest to hit, and a fighter who is use to boxing, counterpunching, moving laterally and this (if you all saw the cotto-margerito fight) was super effective and Cotto has nothing in the boxing compartment anywhere near a Mayweather. The way he was able to hit margerito coming in with what ever he wanted, and move away has to show you all a blue print for what Mayweather does all day every day.
No Mayweather will not hurt Margerito, but no on will. Hurting Margo is not the path to success, it is boxing him, getting him frusterated, being able to catch him coming in with counters and moving away and not getting hit. Does that spell MAYWEATHER......
So even thought I am not a Mayweather fan, he beats Margo, as styles makes fights, and Mayweather has the perfect style to box mayweather to death, and yes win a boring fight....10 times out of 10.
I guarantee you if the where to fight, Kellerman, everyone would be drumming up the fight, but not one of them would put a dime on margo...not a dime. They all know after seeing how easily cotto was able to outbox, Margo that it would be a long frusterating night for Margo.

Cotto Never Called Floyd Out. Hatton Called Floyd Out By Saying There Was No Excitement In His Fights, You Meathead
Cotto has gone on the record and stated he doesnt run from top fighters like Mayweather, "meathead"
ricky Hatton Never Called Floyd Out. He Merely Criticized Floyd For His Lack Of Exciting/entertaining Fights. Cotto And Margarito Have Said Much Worst About Floyd.
Cotto Never Called Floyd Out. Hatton Called Floyd Out By Saying There Was No Excitement In His Fights, You Meathead
definetly....the best way to lure Mayweather back in, is by calling him out on HBO a la Ricky Hatton (post Castillo fight)
Ricky Hatton never called Floyd out. He merely criticized Floyd for his lack of exciting/entertaining fights. Cotto and Margarito have said much worst about Floyd.
From what I've gathered from peeps on here, Kellerman is a fan of Floyd's. So has he gone off him or something? I didn't see it, I can't really guage it properly.
definetly....the best way to lure Mayweather back in, is by calling him out on HBO a la Ricky Hatton (post Castillo fight)
He accepted the Hatton challenge because he knew Ricky was garbage and he would easily beat him.
