What if - IF - Mayweather comes back and beats Margarito....?

[Horus]

It depends on how he beats him.

If its like he beat hatton yes, if its how he beat Baldomir then no

Texan Are you serious My dude...

Floyd is 5'8 and 150 soaking wet.
The Welther Weight Division is His 4th Weight Class. Not his 1st or 2nd Weight Class

Margarito is 5'11 and walks around at 190 pounds...and the Welther Weight Division is really his 1st Weight Class....



You Honestly Expect Floyd to Fight Margarito Toe to Toe instead of Boxing Him. In which you know. Margarito would win 2 rounds Max.

And Plus I would love For Floyd to fight Margarito like he fought Baldomir.
because Floyd Fought in the Pocket against Baldomir.(unlike Cotto did to Marg.) Fought Walk Down Baldomit sometimes..(unlike Cotto did to Marg.)

Floyd went to the body against Baldomir..(unlike Cotto did to Marg.)
and
Floyd fought in the Middle of the ring against Baldomir..(unlike Cotto did to Marg.)



So the question is?

Do you really think Margarito can beat floyd...If Floyd fought Margarito like he fought Baldomir.

What are your sources, heresay?

The word is "Hearsay".

Sigh.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I wouldnt put him on the shortlist(if thats like top 10) but I would move him way up maybe top 20. I still think floyd has to beat the champ at 147 and maybe cotto or williams. Maybe beat a pacquaio too. If he did that he would be top 10.

Wouldn't he also have to beat Wlad and Haye on the same night?

[El Dominicano]

You're a coalition member. Your sole purpose is to ride Floyd for free. Dios at least is getting paid by smb. That I can respect, he's actually getting paid for his creativity when it comes to Floyd's legacy.

I haven't seen anything that tells me, Margarito would beat Mayweather. Nothing at all. Margarito has NO hand speed.

[βetamax]

Why? Cotto doesn't have the footwork to get away. Margarito is a fast paced hard hitting fighter that is something I think Mayweather would have a harder time with IMO. Margarito's ridiculous output whether he hits you on the hand arms head or shoulder would at least mark up Floyd some where. Cotto would get inside and land nothing on him because he isn't the type to let his hands go when he can't hit a target, he preaches efficiency which isn't bad, just I would like to see Mayweather fight someone like that. Castillo had some luck. Also Margarito's chin, I think Mayweather could hurt Cotto but not necessarily KO him. Every boxer who gets in the ring with Mayweather gets out boxed. A high output fighter with no care for wasting punches will hit Mayweather at some point.

I think it's the simple fact that Mayweather could capitalize on what Cotto couldn't do while outboxing him just as well if not better. Margarito is just too one-dimensional and Mayweather would exploit that.

I believe Cotto brings more to the table. He has better boxing ability, he's quicker, and has just as good if not better power. While I don't think he could pressure Mayweather as well as Margarito he could still make Mayweather uncomfortable. I'd still pick Mayweather, though but I think a Cotto fight would be closer.

The word is "Hearsay".

Sigh.

And I thought BS didn't have a spell check.

[pesticid]

So what are your sources anyway. Ellerbe, did I spell that right?

[MindBat]

Beating Margo would be a monumental victory on his record, and he can retire knowing he beat the man who beat the man whom the majority considered Floyd's biggest and best challenge.

Floyd would do a much better job of beating Margo, albeit under pressure, ala Floyd vs Corrales.

Being that Margo has been knocked down and out in his career, you can't rule out a KO by Floyd, similar to what he did to Hatton.

Then there's the risk of Floyd breaking his hands on Margo's thick skull early in the fight, and having Margo exploit it in the hopes of catching Floyd for a KO.

So, if he does win, he should have nothing else to prove to anyone.

[rambov]

Yes definitely, this would mean that he technically wiped out the division.

[Derranged]

Beating Margarito doesnt help his P4P status at all. PLEASE. At the very best it would shut the Marga****s up for like a week or two.
