    Yep. The fans that are 15 have struck again. Tell me son, does this look like running?



    Did he have change tatics while fighting DLH at 154? Yes.
    Mayweather could come back at 40, and blast out the whole 140 division.
    If he came back, I'd put all my points on him against Marg or Cotto. No bull****.

        No, and he likely never will be, that matchup was good because both margarito and cotto have defensive deficiencies that can be exploited, with floyd, hes like a toney/hopkins/whitaker his style will make you look bad no matter what.

          I don't know if I would say any, but I enjoyed some of his fights more then Margo vs Cotto personally.

          The bouts that come close are Corrales, Gatti, Augustus (probably the front runner), Hatton, and Ndou.

          Yep. The fans that are 15 have struck again.
          I take offense to this.

            Your probably right, thats why he turned down the 8 mill vs Tony, because he would make it look to easy!

            No disrespect to Floyd, IMHO, he's one of the very best of this generation.

              Floyd has been in some exciting fights but not at that kind of level because he usually kills the guy. I may be alone on this but seeing Floyd master his craft is exciting to me. It excites me to see a guy outclass another pro so badly.

                  See it all depends. Excitement for most boxing fans is 2 people taking a beating. I'd rather watch Mayweather vs Gatti Justin Juko Chavez Genaro Gerena and a few more...more then watch Cotto vs Margarito. I'd also rather watch Hopkins against Tarver Tito and Taylor then Cotto vs Margarito. Not saying it was a bad fight becuz it was GREAT.

                  I'm more into defensive counter puncher who time themselves right create distance and messure they're opponents ...feel me??

                      There are certain fighters against that will make you look invisible in there, Margarito is not one of them. Against Margarito you are not alone in the ring.
