Is MAYWEATHER'S Aura of invincibility too High...?

No it isn't. Love him or hate him he for the most part was a class above every fighter he has faced. He has only had problems with one fighter(Castillo) in one fight( Castillo/Mayweather 1) and then afterwards he beat him handly.
Who knows of Margarito can/could/would beat him. The fact remains is that he(Mayweather) has all the skills and ability to beat any fighter that is placed in front of him. He would be favored in such fight and that is why people hold him up in such high regard.Comment

[QUOTE=boof*******;3881666]i Know boof, it's coo though. He know down is his heart. That he can not talk about the best in boxing in the last 25-50 years without Mentioning Floyd. Which is a huge accomplish for a critic to give..
Even he will admit Floyd is the greatest 130 Pounder to ever lace them up..
SO that shows you he has some reason.Comment

Mayweather's undefeated dominance over his whole career give him that Aura of invincibility....
And Unknowingly you acknowledge that dominance every time you acknowledge the fact that is going to take a Fighter with extreme advantage over mayweather 2 beat him.
If Margarito was the same height and size as Mayweather. Would you still think he would beat him..?
Mayweather has an Aura about him that He can not be beat by someone his own Natural Size. 130-140.
So every boxer expert will tell you, The only fighter that can beat Mayweather would have to be somebody who is bigger and stronger than Mayweather naturally in a weight class that mayweather is not natural in.
What type of **** is that..?
Basically the census is that, Mayweather has to be at a huge disadvantage in order for it to be a fair fight... ( BASICALLY A handicap FIGHT)
For example:
Name one fight 140 and below that Would not Get Knock out by Mayweather. not beat, But Knock out.
That is what Aura of invincibility is all about.
The belief that it is going to take something or someone special in order to beat you...
Now tell me Mayweather doesn't have that..!Comment

Margarito's win won't lure Mayweather back

Antonio Margarito's win over Miguel Cotto further solidifies Floyd Mayweather's retirement. Mayweather previously turned down $8 million to fight Margarito, instead opting for the same payday to fight Carlos Baldomir.The over-under on Floyd Mayweather's retirement might be briefer than Brett Favre's, yet it is implausible to believe Antonio Margarito's career-defining victory will affect it either way.
Margarito knocked out previously unbeaten Miguel Cotto on Saturday to solidify his claim to the linear welterweight title, which Mayweather abdicated by retiring last month.
Promoter Bob Arum declared the definitive outcome as evidence why Grand Rapids native Mayweather declined $8 million for a proposed 2006 fight against Margarito, and the boxing insiders who consider this retirement a hoax trumpeted that stance.
In a completely candid moment, Arum might have admitted his indifference as to whether Mayweather ever returns to boxing, because as long as the erstwhile pound-for-pound king stays retired, the promoter can enjoy all the verbal machismo without any of the tangible risks for his fighters.
Arum also might have admitted a different result would have served his promotional company's interests better, because he also promotes Cotto, and could have crowed about how Mayweather dodged an undefeated former stablemate all the way into retirement. And an undefeated Cotto might have been the one person most capable of luring Mayweather back.
Except Cotto couldn't get out of the 11th round against Margarito.
A new king in his former division is unlikely to spur Mayweather nearly as much as an attractive point spread or an evening out clubbing these days, particularly after he already spurned a mid-eight-figures payday for a rematch of the richest fight in history, against Oscar De La Hoya, to retire instead.
Arum has worked the Mayweather-dodged-my-fighters angle incessantly, and brilliantly, and the tale that Mayweather declined $8 million to fight Margarito is absolutely true.
It just fails to note that Mayweather then took $8 million from a different promoter, Dan Goossen, for a fight against linear welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir, who was the hottest fighter in the sport at the time, and would have been a shoo-in for 2006 Fighter of the Year if the voting had been held the day before Mayweather dominated him for 12 rounds.
It also fails to note that Mayweather had paid Arum a $750,000 buyout to break their exclusive contract and did not want to fight for his former promoter again, and that Arum's bigger interest in the Mayweather-Margarito proposal was to secure an opponent worthy of a $2 million payday for Margarito, who was growing impatient with the promoter for not delivering major events.Mayweather's career path after that decision is difficult to argue. He followed the Baldomir victory with his two biggest fights and mainstream stardom.
Margarito finally got his major events with Mayweather's retirement. Now, he might get the De La Hoya fight that Mayweather eschewed. Or maybe a Cotto rematch. Or maybe Zab Judah, if Judah beats Joshua Clottey this week.
He has big things in store. How big will be determined as much by the strength of last week's pay-per-view numbers as the quality of the victory.
Margarito also has five losses and negligible cross-market appeal when compared to more remuneratively attractive opponents who weren't enough to keep the undefeated Mayweather in the sport.
Margarito also lost a big fight against then-unbeaten Paul Williams last year. Williams immediately lost to Carlos Quintana, a loss later avenged, though it illustrates the fragility of top welterweights without Mayweather as the standard-bearer.
I should mention that Ricky Hatton could beat everyone in the previous paragraph, with the exception of the man who knocked him out last December. And Andre Berto, the 22-0 young gun who claimed the World Boxing Council version of the welterweight title Mayweather used to hold, might beat them all.
If anything in that equation suggests a tidied-up division and a temptation for Mayweather to come back based on the Margarito-Cotto result, then his retirement really is a hoax.Comment
