    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..

      but if it happens, then it happens... comes with the territory of boxing, hands get hurt or broken in the fight game.... its how one handles and adjusts to the situation, which of course Floyd is great at doing...

        but floyd is a tiny and fragile welter. Marg and Cotto fans who want Floyd to fight them are just deperate for their fighters to beat a legend. Floyd is too small. He belongs at lightweight. Let Cotto fight Marg and Marg fight Williams like they're supposed to. They will both lose. Haha. Dopes they can't even dominate their own natural weight classes haha losers.

          there are fans that want Floyd to lose to their favorite fighter... and there are fans that want Floyd to fight the very best competition due to his tremendous skill and talent...

            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).

              the reality is mayweather himself didnt believe he could beat the winner of margarito-cotto that's why he retired.

                And every punch Maragito lands will do twice the damage and your point is???


                I don't know if you know this but cotto and Margarito fought this past July and I think you might want to watch it.

                    huh?

                    You mean you dont want to see Floyd put on a boxing clinic winning all 12 rounds against the current recognize WW champion of the world.

I think Mayweather would just win on points, it wouldn't be his most attractive performance... he would just keep the fight in the center of the ring were Floyd would be dominant, obviously Mayweather wouldn't KO Marg, no Welter can... but I think he would just outbox him all the way through the fight. JMO, yours may be different.
                      Actually, if Floyd were to win, it would probably be one of his best showings. He's never faced anyone as big or as strong as Tony, nor has he faced anyone who throws as many punches. He really would have to put on a display of every single talent he has to beat Margarito. Hes not going to hurt Tony at all, so Tony would just disregard any shot from Floyd and bully him into the ropes and corners. That is going to take a tremendous and memorable effort from Floyd to beat the Tornado.

                      Which is why he won't ever face Margarito.
