If Floyd fought Margarito....

I think the whole deal with a fight between those two is to see if Floyd could take the constant pressure of Margrito by doing what he does best...using his footwork, picking his punches and being as slippery as a lubed up fish/dildo. The challenge would be to see if Margrito could catch and hit Floyd, and whether Floyd could keep Margrito off of him for every 3 minutes of 12 rounds.

If Floyd fought Margarito and won a UD by keeping distance and using speed and going toe to toe as minimal as possible, would you respect Floyd for taking the fight and winning or would you criticize him for the manner in witch he fought? I know that talk of this fight brings a lot of opinions so I just wondered what those who want this fight would think if this is was the result. I for one would love to see the fight. Thoughts? Well the point is to win.. and I could not criticise him for Winning.. I could complain that he is Boring.. But that would be Hypocritical since I support Wlad Klitschko most of the time.. It would be interesting to see if he could keep Margarito off him all night long..

I agree. Taking the fight alone would earn him tons of respect. At this stage I don't think Floyd would beat Margarito. Too much Pressure,Size,Chin,Stamina for the lil guy. Floyd would need a tune up for this fight. It would be rough but Floyd has so many advantages. His footspeed/footwork is much better then anyone Margarito has faced including Cotto. His hands are much faster, his stamina is better. The size of Margarito and chin will not matter as Floyd will just pop shot him and stay in the center of the ring. The danger will be when he takes brief rests to sit back and roll as he has done with lighter fighters. However, he did do it vs Dlh at 154 so he cant be that weak.

Well as proven in the past, you can't JUST box Margarito. You have to eventually fight him one way or another and that's really one thing Floyd has never been in or at least lured into. Margarito keeps coming after you and has clever ways to trapping you you when you least expect it. With Margarito IMO Floyd would have to fight but I don't know how long that would last. But to answer the question, I'd respect Floyd the second he came down the aisle win or lose.

i would give floyd all due respect for fighting marg, cotto, or williams. regardless of how he fought, orthe outcome of the fight. unfortunately it will never happen.

If Floyd beat Margarito,any way it was,I would give him credit and take back every ounce of antiMayweather comments I have ever made!!

Bump!!!! I see these two guys being talked about a lot on the NSB so lets hear from people that did not get the chance last time.

First, chances are ANY fight Mayweather takes is going to be the biggest fight of the year. Second, I don't think anyone is saying Pac/Mayweather isn't a great fight and the best choice for Mayweather. Third, this thread is about whether you'd respect Mayweather for beating/fighting Marg. Fourth, Awesome knick game on right now. Nate Robinson looks to be the stat leader right now. Obviously Mayweather would get respect but I think we are more likely to see Pacquiao fight Margarito than mayweather. D'antoni needs to start Nate from here on out. Q Richardson starting is a travesty.

Mayweather isn't coming out of retirement for anything that isn't going to be the biggest fight of the year. He's also not going to take it if he thinks there is a decent chance he will lose. A fight with pacquiao is a risk/reward dream for Mayweather. First, chances are ANY fight Mayweather takes is going to be the biggest fight of the year.

Wha? That's like saying a year ago that Cotto had to beat Margarito, Williams and whoever before he got a shot at Mayweather... Both Williams and Margarito deserve a shot at Mayweather right now. Mayweather could pick any number of opponents of which I would not be disappointed. Mayweather isn't coming out of retirement for anything that isn't going to be the biggest fight of the year.

Margarito needs to decisively beat Paul Williams at which point he can start banging the drum to get a fight with Mayweather. Wha?

If Floyd either took the fight and won or took the fight and got knocked cold, I would respect FLoyd for taking the fight. I agree. Taking the fight alone would earn him tons of respect. At this stage I don't think Floyd would beat Margarito. Too much Pressure,Size,Chin,Stamina for the lil guy.

Of course he would deserve respect, the only people who would not respect him are idiotic Margarito fanboys. And there are alot of them.

Good feedback. Sound like not too many people will would be sour at the outcome like the Baldomir fight. Beating Tony is Beating Tony I guess.

I would be impressed if he would fight Tony let alone beat him. It doesnt matter how he does it, but if he wins, I will take back all the negative shit I said about him.

I don't care if he literally ran around the ring, I'd be impressed with a Floyd victory over Margarito.

Floyd will get my respect just for stepping in the ring with Margo. I won't be holding my breath on seeing it though. It's obvious Floyd doesn't want to go anywhere near a true top Welter. Fair enough he's a small guy, but I don't want to hear him say he beat the best at 147 again.
