Why Margarito is bad for Mayweather!

[badboypeenoy]

dude shut the **** up, you know nothing and are just a gay little pacquiao fanboy...i like pac but you are just on his nuts all the time

why doesnt pac fight campbell or diaz, who are in the weightclass he holds a title in ATM?? is he scared? im not saying he is but that logic works both ways

Sorry but Pacman's fighting bigger guys like dela Hoya and Hatton as of the moment, Maybe he can fight Campbell and Diaz when he gets back to 135 right Mayweather fanboy?

Floyd shouldn't fight him because the only way Marg could win is by brute force. This is boxing, not a toughman competition. The sick freaks like Larry Merchant would love to see Floyd lose...but Larry Merchant is a piece of crap who deserves to die. Everyone is aware of Floyd's skills. We all know what a badass he is. He should just ride off into the sunset like the stud he is, and not give any oversized welterweights the chance to make a name for themselves off of the undersized legend Mayweather..

Look, Im all for same day weigh ins. But as is, if fighters like Margarito and Williams can make weight, they're welterweights. If Floyd is gonna fight in that division and prove he is the most skilled, that his skills can overcome size, he should be fighting the best. If he just "rides off into the sunset", that doesn't make him a stud, it makes him a guy who fought in a division for almost 3 years without facing its biggest threats. Floyd is great, but that chosen path gets absolutely zero respect from me.

Margarito has a good chin but I'm not convinced it's better than Baldomir's. If Floyd ever fought him,I wouldn't be surprised if he became the first person to knock Margarito out. Cotto's punches might look harder, but Floyd hits with so much more sharpness and accuracy and it's the punches you don't see that do the most damage. But Floyd probably wouldn't go for the KO because it would be so easy just to toy with Margarito instead like he's done with so many other fighters, so I would predict easy UD (11-1 or maybe a shutout).

if Floyd couldn't KO Zab & Delahoya...... ahh nevermind...

Floyd is a great defensive fighter,no doubt.But that potshot right hand and shoulder role,probably isnt going to cut it against Margarito.He has a 100+plus punch output.He also punches from all angles,anticipating that many punches,seems impossible.Cotto,couldnt hold Margarito off,33 punches a round from featherfisted Mayweather wont do it.Margarito would walk him down and stop him late!!

piss poor analysis.

I could see this.

Also heard while back that his camp said he was a bad match up for him.

Heck Tony is a bad match up for any welter. you have to have some size to keep him off for 12 rounds..

piss poor analysis.

So what ur saying is there is no way for Margarito to pressure floyd?Mayweather is for the most part a defensive fighter,he averages about 30+ punches a round,he does not hit that hard at WW,so how does he hold Margarito off with just defence?

No that's not what I said. I said it was a piss poor analysis.

Mostly because it's simplistic. Margarito could beat Mayeather due to size and pressure it's possible but there's a lot more going on there than that.

It's like posting:

"Margarito would destroy Mayweather cause he's too big"

"Mayweather would destroy Margs cause he's too fast"

Sure they may be correct, or even a good thesis but you gotta give it more thought than just that.

Margarito brings tons of pressure but he's slower than dirt. Cotto as an example of Mayweather is not a great one. He fought as a hit and run boxer in that fight and that's not his style, nor is that what his mentality or stamina has prepared him for. And even WITH that style he committed too much to trying to KO Margarito. You think Mayweather will try to KO Margs at all? Or commit to any punches? Or will get winded from dodging and countering?

Floyd wont even need 300 punches landed to beat Margarito.

I dont think Mayweather will try to KO Margarito at all,but I do think Margarito will force him to fight,because of the pressure,I wasnt comparing fighting styles in"Cotto-Mayweather',I was simply stating Cotto could not back margarito off,regardless of the heavy shots that he landed and being that Margarito brings angles when he pressures,how does Mayweather avoid exchanges when he cant punch,does he rely on movement and defence and get away with that for 12 rounds straight!?

Castillo I is a good example of this.
