Cotto was nothing more than a glamourized Hatton. Margs can't beat Floyd!

floyd has the abilities to get a UD over margarito running away for his life but it would be interesting when he gets caught, how he would react to it, specially in the later rounds

Great thread. Mayweather would make Cotto look like the amateur he is. Great boxer?? One handed, only circles to his left, with his hands down, doesn't have the grit or chin to fight off pressure guys. Mayweather is literally 100x faster. Margarito is one of the slowest guys in the division. If you want to talk about compubox look at the power shots difference, because those weak jabs don't mean ****.

Mayweather retires Cotto inside 6.

Yeah, that is a great theory, but I never saw a fighter run in a ring. Cotto fought well, but had no defense. floyd is heads above Cotto, and he didn't get tired when he fought Baldy. Floyd does not have to move a lot for Margs. Margs is dangerous because he can punch with both hands, and that he is tall. But Floyd isn't Cotto, he knows how to deal with men who are bigger than him.

This wasn't a comparison Larry. Floyd will whip Margs behind. He knows it too. You are the one who doesn't know this yet.

Mayweather would win in a classic boxing clinic via unanimious decison. Mayweather is the best defensive fighter of the past decade. He can box going backwards better than the most skilled boxers can going forward. He has real speed, great footwork, lateral movement that's unparalled, fantastic head movement, experience, and stamina that is second to none including the highly energetic and enduring Margarito.

If you think Cotto hit Margarito at will and often in brilliant combinations during the first six rounds of their fight you should definitely already know that PBF will do it even better throughout 12 rounds.

Yes, Margarito is bigger, stronger, has a granite chin and will pressure Mayweather all 12 rounds.

Yes, Margarito is slow as a turtle and his game plan is to apply relentless pressure until his opponents tire and he can close the gap and connect.

No, PBF won't tire. It's a verifiable fact that PBF prepares for his fights in a bone chilling, hard driving, never quit or give an excuse type fashion. Many boxers who have sparred with Mayweather in preparation for his fights have stated that they were AMAZED at his superhuman workouts. One even stated that it challenged him because he knew he wasn't doing half of what it took to be a boxing champion. PBF will not be outhustled by Margarito. All PBF will need to do is to be in tip top condition to be able to stay on his toes for 12 rounds inorder to be able to stay off the ropes which is Margarito's ring position of choice to knock out his opponents. A.K.A. Cintron, Cotto, Golden Johnson, etc.

No, Mayweather won't hurt Margarito ..... not at all, but will connect cleanly and often. PBF's punch accuracy is one of the best of all time. Points, points and more points.

Yes, Margarito has the power to hurt PBF, but...

No, Margarito won't hit PBF even 20% as much as he hit Cotto. The Pretty Boy moniker is held for a reason. PBF is not going to allow anyfighter to hit him as much as Cotto does. When have you ever seen PBF's face messed up? How many times can you say you've seen Cotto's face bloodied and swollen? Cotto many times. PBF none.

If Bob Arum will offers PBF $15-20 million I think he will fight Margarito. Margarito WILL take short change because he believes he can beat and even KO PBF.

My prediction if PBF fights Margarito is that PBF will decisively beat Margarito in a non-brutal classic boxing clinc. Margarito will becone frustrated in the frst half of the fight and upon losing will say that PBF didn't come to fight but run. PBF will say after the fight that Margarito was never on his level and now we know why he didn't fight him before the money was right.

The Margarito fans will say PBF "ran all night and wasn't a warrior."

The PBF fans will say that PBF put on a "boxing clinic," and demonstrated the "sweet science of the pugilistic art called boxing."

The Cotto fans will be glad to see Margarito get schooled and demand a Margarito vs Cotto rematch because Cotto had much of the PBF blueprint for the 1st six rounds but gassed out in the latter rounds.

Bob Arum will be smiling because he will get close to whatever dollars that Margarito gets or even more and never broke sweat.

Mayweather Sr. will say that Jr learned all the awesone defensive skills he demonstrated in the ring from him.

Roger Mayweather will still be talkin bout "them da_n computers" and how "Margarito can't fight "worth shxt" and "fu_k Margarito, big lanky bast_rd! Who da f_ck has he beat that had skills anywhere near my nephew?!"

Viva Margarito has a very good chance of putting it over Floyd. Remember Floyd's reaction when he was asked about whther he would fight Margs and his answer was all over the place. If Floyd won't fight Margs I'd love to see Margs vs Kelly Pavlik at Middle or SMW.

This would be a great fight. I said in other forums that Margs would stop Cotto by looking at how Margs towered over Cotto at presser. Margs looks more like a Light Heavy. He also has the chin that would enable him to succeed at higher weight judging by the shots he took off hard hitting Cotto. Margs didn't look for one second hurt off anything Cotto threw at him.

Margs still has to deal with Santos. Good post though
