The fight between boxing's top pound-for-pound champion and the Mexican superstar, Antonio Margarita will be fought at 147 pounds, where Margaritahas just one fight, a tough TKO win over Cotto in JULY.
Terms for the fight were discussed on yesterday, but Mayweather wants Margaritas welterweight titles on the line.
Mayweather first took serious interest in a fight against Margarita after the beaten Margarita put on Cotto, because Margarita immediately slammed Mayweather in the post-fight interview. Floyd, who had "retired" following his win over Ricky Hatton, went on record quickly with his desire to, in layman's terms, shut Margarita up. And Mayweather is still hot about the issue.
Mayweather stated ""]He's definitely getting knocked out. I guarantee that. He's talked the talk. Let's see if he can walk the walk when he's in there against the best[/COLOR]."
I've said it plenty of times, but I still firmly believe that Mayweather will dominate Margarita. I'm glad we'll get to find out for sure, though, and I do hope that Margarita surprises me and makes it a more competitive bout than I think it'll be. I just can't see him being fast enough to bother Mayweather even if he manages to get inside on him, which will be a hard enough task as it is.
Mark it down, no matter how you feel about the fight: Mayweather v. Margarita, December 15 in the works.
