What would you give Floyd more credit for....

Question do you really think that Mayweather haters would give him credit losing to Margarito??


I think this sums everything up

only true losers find victory in defeat.

Reed just worded the thread title wrong. Its not that we'll give him credit for "losing" to Marg. He'll get credit just for stepping to the plate win or lose.

i think cotto is twice as fast and skilled as margarito too...........................

Cotto can't avoid punches just like Hatton can't. That's why Margarito walks through guys like them. Their defense is trash.

[Flawless.]

Its a fight that is in demand despite the fact that Marg stopped him. Unlike Floyd/Hatton.

Hatton/Mayweather would be in demand in UK where the fight would most likely happen.

were talking about a fighter who never mans up to a real challenge... always picks on the weakest link in the division... so to finally step up and take on one of the best at his weight, he would get credit for it... as soon as the fight was signed and announced he would get credit for it... if hatton mayweather II comes to fruition, floyd will be bashed for it.... floyd-margarito comes to fruition, i believe floyd will be respected for taking on a challenge

[DiegoFuego]

if Mayweather LOST to a guy like Margarito, it would mess his career up bad just like it's completely turned Cotto from "maybe an all time great" to a "wow, he lost to THAT guy?" type of fighter.

Cotto is now just an exciting fighter rather than a great fighter. Nobody praises him for losing to Margarito. What exactly is there to celebrate other than an exciting fight for fans? What is he Gatti now where you measure success by how exciting your fight is?

i may have worded it wrong....

Hatton's fans would pay to watch him wack off in Wembley.

[Flawless.]

exactly. Nobody is going to give Haye any credit at all if he loses to Vitali. He'd have to cut Vitali and take him into deep waters to get any credit and even then it's just the whole "he's a true warrior" type of credit which basically means "you got your ass kicked, but you're a tough nut to crack"

What is this warrior bull**** mentality.


Was Margarito was warrior losing to Williams?? Does Tua get credit getting beat the hell out of by Ike??

so how exactly are you a Roy Jones fan when he did more cherry picking in his career than Floyd could ever hope to do? all his tough fights came early in his career (B-Hop before he was good and Toney 14 years ago), which is what people say about Floyd. They say all Floyd's toughest fights came at 130 and 135. Somehow I don't think Ruiz at heavyweight is comparable to De La Hoya at 154.

how the hell can you knock Mayweather and post up a Roy Jones Jr avatar and sig?

Every Margarito opponent is faster and more skilled.

Hasn't stopped Tony from piling up close to 40 wins now.

Using that "slow" excuse just doesn't cut it anymore. Actually, it never really did.

Certain fighters just don't want to tangle with the Tornado.

They're scared to lose to a slower, less skilled fighter.
