Mayweather had it easy, Margarito didn't

[Eaner0919]

Floyd only beat Oscar by SD and Oscar tried to pressure Floyd (which isn't his style), a real PRIME PRESSURE FIGHTER like Margarito would succeed against the smaller Mayweather. Cotto is a lot bigger than Floyd and the extra body weight of Marg leaning on him for 12 rounds will effect him.

No one can run from a Tornado for 36 minutes.

in the time you have become a fan of boxing, more than enough for you to post on a boxing board, you must have a sense of who is winning and controlling a fight right? **** what boxrec says do you honestly think that the Mayweather vs De La Hoya was a close fight? Close enough to be a SD?

Mayweather won a comfy 8-4 decision and if you use "well the score shows a SD and the judges know more blah blah blah" mantra then you are just trying to **** on Mayweather

he won, easier than most thought, and was fortunate that two of the judges saw this

Cotto still has a much better chance than Marg of beating Mayweather. Marg could never, ever beat Mayweather. He would not have a chance in hell. It would be similar to the fight with Baldomir. Imagine the Cotto fight if Cotto knew who to stay in the middle of the ring and to clinch after his combo's instead of backing up. He would have dominated every single minute of the fight.

Margarito is a good fighter, but he would not beat Mayweather. The skill difference is too vast in all areas. While Mayweather did grow up with a great coach to teach him from the moment he could first start, it still takes a certain will, motivation and talent to keep it up and become the champ he did. Why haven't all the sons of great boxers all become amazing champs? That theory doesn't really wash.

Duran grew up in abject poverty as well and become one of the fiercest and yet most skillful defensive fighters ever. It is the same with the majority of great fighters. Did Whitaker have loads of money and a dad/coach?

don't say never;
margarito's pressure would be the difference once again;
we don't know how mayweather will deal with that, margarito is not hatton...
he has a better chin is taller and has longer reach

Floyd fans just hate on Marg cuz they fear him and know it. Their only advantage over margarito fans is that floyd retired which means Margarito will never have the chance to defeat him so they continue to talk **** without the fear of being shut the **** up by Marg. Floyd retired undefeated with fear in his heart, while Margarito having five losses lives on with pride.

Excellent post!

Margarito is a true champion, willing to fight the best. Floyd's is a coward who only fights carefully hand-picked opponents.

Well this is no excuse but,,,, Mayweather, for example, was born rich into a boxing family and grew up with the nicest things in the nicest country in the world. He started when he was so young and was raised and taught by pro boxers right in his very own family. He was polished sinced the day he was born.
Contrary to that, Margarito, yes, born in cali, was raised in Tijuana, one of the worst places in the world. Wasn't raised or taught by pro boxers, didn't go to the best gyms or have the nicest things, but grew up taking beatings from grown men and eventually learned from those beatings how to conquer his opponents with sheer heart, so he wasnt polished or taught early on the great boxing techniques like floyd was. He had to learn through beatings and pain. And sure today his skills do not even come close to floyds, but i would have the highest expectations of him to beat floyd with his pressure, power, and heart.
Back to floyd, he grew up having it all and having easy, never having felt pain. He fought for money, marg fought for survival. And up til july 25th, Cotto was talked about like he was the mother****er to beat floyd and u floyd fans can't say u didn't fear him deep down, on the 26th, suddenly after Marg beat him down like a dog, floyd fans immediately called him overrated.

pbf trained his ass off everyday to get where he is. He deserves your respect as much as margarito does.
