way too big, too much stamina, amazing chin.

mayweather would get ****ed up badly.

I was anxious with my chips and bet on you dropping some sorta heavy weight Facts or sumthin...

Thats all you said and i lost... I'mma need more than that to bet on margo.



Your statement alone doesn't get to the money....

A fight with Marg would hardly be the first time Mayweather has fought a bigger, stronger opponent with the supposed ability to beat him up, a number of opponents have had these attributes, notably Corrales and Castillo. My view is that Marg reprsents an even greater threat than these because of his ability to simply walk through punches, which appears formidable and the fact he's a big welter whereas those guys were down at 135. He has the potential to hurt Mayweather, undoubtedly, and its doubtful Mayweather can hurt him.

This doesn't mean Mayweather loses though. Marg is very slow and is very easy to hit. Against Floyd he would take a lot of punishment, not enough to stop him or perhaps not even hurt him, but undoubtedly enough to give Mayweather his usual cleaner harder shots advantage. The question then is whether or not Marg could catch up to Floyd enough to do damage. I don't think he could. Floyd in full defensive mode is tremendously elusive, as numerous boxers have found out. He should be able to outmanouvre someone like Marg and I think we'd see Floyd sliding from side of ring to side of ring, always a step ahead. Note though, I do think Floyd would have to do this. He has been able to stand toe to toe with more of his opponents than his critics care to admit, but I don't think he could against Marg. I also don't think it would be at all wise for Floyd to even consider sitting on the ropes, shoulder roll or not, I think Margs punches would break him down in this scenario, so Floyd would have to be on his bike constantly.

If they fought, I don't think Marg would 'brutally **** Floyd up', I think he'd lose a decision, but the threadstarter is right that Marg certainly has the attributes to make brutality possible. I think Floyd would know this too and this fight would simply end up being more ammunition for those who call Floyd a 'runner' etc etc, because to be sure of victory, that is what he would have to do.

wow abadger.....not bad at all......your pretty knowledgeable as long as we're not talkin about Joe j/k

but i agree tho......plus Floyds an extremely smart fighter, he's gonna focus on gettin the W before anything so like abadger said....Floyd doesnt have to box all night to take this fight but to be on the safe side that would be his best bet.

He could stay in the pocket like he did in the Ndou fight and shoulder roll, deflecting shots and countering which would make for a very exciting fight......but with Margs seemingly granite chin and the volume of punches it might be a bit tougher than Ndou made it.........but like I said that would be exciting to see.

I really doubt that. Floyd's way too skilled, smart and fast, and he's a conditioning freak as well. He's just too slick for a plodder, albeit a strong and large one, like Margarito.

Floyd by UD.
