    I think Cotto fought a much better fight then you gave him credit for. He was sticking and moving, he was trying to side step, as the fight went on Tony was getting better at tracking and killing by the final round. Cotto looked more like his soul had been taken from him then being tired(he did look tired). I think Margarito did more homework then you give him credit for as well. Margarito seemed to nullify Cotto's strong left hook to the body. He actually made Cotto seem one-dimensional(only left handed fighting).

    Tony does seem to pull back when he isn't set. The thing that makes Tony look so dominant is he literally jogs to his opponent when they move away. It is will breaking. Mayweather is in great shape and could jog with him all night long.

    I just think that Tony's willingness to hit him anywhere is the key. Tony hits you every where arms, hands, shoulders, body, kidney(in clinches), body, and head. Anywhere you let him hit he will hit you. I think that it isn't Tony's effectiveness that wins the fight, it is his sheer output, will, chin, and stamina. I think Mayweather would be forced to fight, if he didn't he would look bad and possibly lose the fight on the perception of who came to fight.

    I think Tony would be frustrated early on just as he was against Cotto. If Tony doesn't hold back(which I don't think he would) he would just force his fight on him. Tony is not given enough credit for knowing how to fight as the bigger fighter, he seems to gauge his distance well. Tony isn't the more talented or intelligent fighter. He is a big strong puncher with will, stamina, and heart. Like Rocky almost LOL. Tony would have long enough arms keep PBF away as well. Tony has great upper cuts for inside fighting should PBF fight inside. Tony punches in bunches and one or two out of ten will hit you. Because of the power it will become effective at some point in the fight.

    PBF also goes into defensive shells when the other fighters have high output. Something none of us have mentioned. He comes out of the shell just long enough to win the round. Do you think he could do that? Be very defensive and win the fight? Popping out of his shell for only moments could lose him the fight. That is my point. Especially if when he side steps and moves Margarito keeps coming. Again I could see PBF winning a ugly decision but I think Margarito makes PBF looks just as bad as PBF makes Margarito look. PBF would have to be on a motorcycle to stay away all fight. Margarito isn't that talented, or athletically gifted especially in comparison to Mayweather but he his a journeyman style fighter and it is hard to beat a fighter that is willing to look bad and happy to out work.
    floyd would have easily potshotted margarito. for 2 rounds floyd will lay on the ropes and make margarito look foolish while he takes a quick breather.

    margarito is so slow floyd will see every punch coming a mile away. its not a pretty fight for anyone. imho it would be a pretty dull fight because margarito can't lay hands on floyd and floyd don't hit hard enough to hurt margarito.

      Ricky Hatton put more pressure on Floyd then anyone will
      and look how that ended, Hatton is faster then Margarito
      so if somehow Floyd fights Margarito .. it will turn into Floyd - Gatti
      the end of the overrated Marg

          Cotto tried everything he could to keep Tony off him and it failed. Cotto was elusive and hit Tony with everything he could. Eventually that PRESSURE got to him. The size difference was a huge factor.

          Floyd has never put out as much, offensively, as Cotto did that night. I don't see Floyd doing as well as Miguel in a fight with Margarito. Tony would do what Castillo couldn't. He'd stop Floyd in devastating fashion just past the midway point!
          You're huffing again lil Hector.

          Floyd would whip the grease off that oily-ass bum.

            Floyd Mayweather Jr Malfunctions When Posed With Margarito Questions

            An exerpt from Scoop Malinowski's ESB article:

            The mere thought of Margarito alters Floyd's thought and speech patterns. He makes little sense whenever he opens his mouth about Margarito. I completely believe the fight has already been determined. Floyd has been conquered by the Margarito mystique, the Margarito smile of 100% (GENUINE not MANUFACTURED) confidence, the Margarito arsenal of non-stop pressure and relentless savagry. The great Floyd Mayweather is incapable of how to effectively deal with issue of Margarito out of the ring and so it will transfer to confusion and indecision inside the ring, as it always does. IT ALWAYS DOES. It appears that Floyd's mind does not function properly when it has to deal with the ghost of Margarito. Just wait and see what happens when the real beast is attacking him.

                  Floyd is faster handspeed thanCotto, he has better footwork than Cotto, faster reflexes than Cotto, he has better defense than Cotto, he has more ring knowledge than Cotto, he is more versatile than Cotto and he has more experience and is more composed than Cotto.

                  Floyd would make Tony look foolish.
                  then why didn't he?

                    did Mosely say "I wouldn't fight Margarito on november either"?

                    I'm just curious. It doesn't really matter

                      Ricky Hatton is smaller then Mayweather.. Margarito is much bigger.
                      Big difference.
