    Of course, Floyd still might do that. Comparing him and Marg as boxers is like comparing night and day, but if Marg were to catch up to him then I'm pretty sure he could put Floyd in all kinds of trouble.

    So is Mayweather's aura of invincibility too high? Yes, he could be beaten if he chose the wrong opponent.
    Stop lying lol. Margs can throw 1000 punches around and Floyd would still outclass his ass. Floyd and avoid dont mix. Floyd was after money fights. If Margs can make himself into a money fighter, floyd would have no problem fighting Margs. That of course means Margs would have to win his next 2 fights. A money fight and the Williams fight. Margs offers nothing Floyd would have to be worried about. The 8 mil bogus offer and Margs asking Floyd for a fight are the only 2 reasons Cotto and Margs fans even talk about floyd. Clottey and Williams showed you how to beat Margs. Cotto and Cintron didn't.

      Theoretically, Mayweather can outclass Marg, yes. Thing is though that Marg is really very much bigger and stronger than Mayweather is, and would be able to walk through anything Mayweather threw without blinking. Mayweather relies a lot on his jab to keep fighters at distance, but would this work against Marg? I'd say that if Mayweather did not execute a tactically perfect fight, then there would be a risk that Tony might catch up to him and stop him.

      I'm not saying I would even make Marg favourite, I wouldn't, but Floyd isn't perfect, and he knows this better than his fans do, and he is well aware of the risk someone like Margarito represents, which is why he has good reason not to fight him.

        You wrote a good post, but Floyd won't fight anyone unless it is for money at this stage in his career. Margs doesn't bring anything to the ring Floyd hasn't seen.

            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.
            I think this also why is Aura of Invincibility is so high...

              Nah Margarito isn't a threat. Margarito is just size chin stamina pressure and power. If you don't have speed accuracy ability to cut off the ring with that then you'd best not step in the ring with Floyd. Margarito wouldn't be able to land **** on Floyd IF he ever corners him. Again, Margarito fans are begging for a fight they'd just call boring.

                J Castillo is a much better Boxer than Margarito and he is quicker and he is better at cutting the ring down and Floyd utterly dominated him in the rematch he barely won one round

Why do I have to give YOU any reasons why Floyd didn't fight who you think he should've fought? lol, who are you? You are nothing but a fanatic. Fans here know what Floyd was doing. People have said worst here about Floyd than you. You got your account temporarily suspended because you kept following me lol.
                  It's not just him, it was everyone, less his nuthuggers who would defend his choice of fighting my grandmother.

                  The only problem I have with a lot of Floyd critics is that they ***** and moan about floyd not fighting so and so becaus he is a coward and businessman. and the same crowd doesn't give as much **** to margo for not fighting williams/clotey again. I like margo and liked his attitude of fighting whoever, but if he doesn't show a desire to fight williams in the near future, i'll lose a lot of respect for him, much like i lost respect for floyd.

                  Williams seems like the type of a champ we need. His willingness to fight Pavlik really impressed me. I hope he doesn't turn into this "no one knows him, doesn't bring in money, hasn't done enough" type of guys that floyd was and margo is turning into.
