    OK, seriously....

    No more mention about Margarito taking on Mayweather. I'll be the first to admit I was a light fan of Margarito, I'd seen 5 fights of his, thought he was a decent fighter with solid power who could possibly aggravate Floyd. That said I never gave him more than a puncher's chance, which equals out to about 0 against Mayweather.

    Clottey was kicking Margarito's ass until his hand ****ed up on him. He was en route to taking his title and if his hand didn't give, he would've. Margarito no longer has the right to call out Mayweather, infact, anytime he does, I give everybody my permission to shove a stick up his ass and slap his wife in the mouth.

    Styles make fights, remember that.

    Margarito was rusty and his defense has never been world class anyway. Clottey is solid fighter.

    But Margarito would give Floyd a hell of a fight. No one can tell me different.

      I agree with the author of this thread. Margarito was showing that he could be hit up with relative ease, and by a guy who is nowhere near the speed or skill of Mayweather.

      Now Cotto and Floyd, that's another story....

        I will tell anybody different any time it's brought up. Margarito has a puncher's chance, that's it. If he stood in close with Mayweather like that he'd be eating so much leather he'd **** jackets.

          if you can use clottey breaking his hand as an excuse then we can use tony's wrist and inactivity too. or is that wrong? yea its tru i thought clottey was gonna win until he hurt his hands but i dont want to hear anyone say thats why he lost.

            Styles make fights...floyd moves..floyd counters...floyd is accurate...floyd is quick.

            Clottey before the hand injury was doing everything but moving, without the speed of mayweather but was still accurate and margarito had no adjustment and no defense for it, it would be worse.

              Hopefully your post can encourge Floyd to step up to the plate and fight Margarito. Wait, never mind pretty boy is retiring after the Delahoya fight, bye floyd.

                Be real with you self, floyd don't have that much better speed then Clottey, if any.

                  I'd hate to have to agree with you there. except i think clottey's chin was a huge factor tonight. he's built like a rock and has a iron chin. mayweather wouldnt be able to take the same punishment but he wouldnt have to cuz of his speed.

                    floyd does not have much better speed then clottey. he does do alot of things different then clottey, however. he gives you different looks and confuses you...something clottey rarely did. mayweather is also a legit welterweight but he is undersized - something clottey is not. margarito - mayweather is still a fairly dangerous bout.
