I have more respect for Mayweather because of what he does in the ring and he always shows up to fight. No messing around before a fight, he is completely focused.
I wont say I lost respect for Margarito though. I still respect Mosley and he cheated with steroids which can be worse than plaster which supposedly doesn't harden until the late rounds AND I still respect Trinidad even though he basically did the same thing as Margarito. Add the fact that Margarito was caught attempting, it really doesn't damper anything in my opinion.
i gotta admit i do until he fights the toughest comp there is.....margo cheated and is being punish now
He fought the top comp out there as much as he could besides welterweight. If you respect Margarito more then it shows you hate Mayweather, and kinda makes people lose respect of your opinion on him (no offense).
DK says Mayweather..........begrudgingly.
As much as i dislike fighters that cowardly pick and choose their opposition and proclaim to be the best, blatant cheating is far worse.
Fair enough that's your opinion, I agree cheating is worst... especially the way he did putting the other guy in danger.
Mayweather is a good fighter the only thing people don't like about may is the fact that he picks carefully his fights and talks to much. Otherwise, Mayweather is a great fighter with no loss.
Mayweather Jr. gets mad respect from me. Mayweather Jr. never cheated boxing fans of a fair fight. To be honest with you what he is doing is bringing the sport to the mainstream. I don't blame him for picking out his competition. That is part of the business. JMM called him out and if JMM beats Floyd he will get that dream fight with Pacman. When Floyd wins he will have options of SMM, Cotto, Pacman. 3 mega fights. What boxing needs.
Margarito not only cheated me out of my $700.00 ticket I purchased to watch him KO Cotto in 11. He cheated the sport itself. A couple months ago a casual fan asked me "What was that name of the fighter that fought with Plaster." Not what boxing needs.
You might respect Margarito's competition level over Floyd Jr. but respecting Margarito over Mayweather Jr. is plain stupid.
Gee you have to very high standards not to respect a fighter who won a belt at 5 weight classes and some of the best boxers at each weight. Remember that Floyd fought at weights other than 147... Margarito is a cheater plain and simple. If a guy tried plastering his hands at my next boxing match I would be furious, and I bet you guys would go hog-wild if a guy tried plastering his hands against you at your next match.
High standards ? not really i just expect TOP fighters to fight the best fighters consistently, that is why i respect Hopkins and Pacquiao more than Jones/Mayweather.
I've lost a lotta respect for both these guys, but I still got more for Mr boat buyer. I'd much rather him keep refusin to fight SSM or whoever the #1 WW is than fight him tryin to use illegal shit to hurt him.
perfectly said
Mayweather what about you dynamite?

margo is alot easier to respect than floyd's bitchass.....
Okay, you respect a guy that attempts to use Plaster of Paris over a guy that doesn't cheat. You must really hate him...
Margarito wanting to get KO'd rather than quit against Mosley was impressive to say the least.
they should have loaded mosleys gloves then we could have seen if he would have took that beating or quit
i still respect margarito, dont like what he did but hes still a tough cat though. like dude said it took some balls to come out for that last round with mosley. still i did lose a lot of respect with the plaster shit, and i have nothing but respect for floyd. so i gotta say i respect floyd more.
