    Margarito ****** as a fighter. There's a reason he had 5 losses before fighting Cotto, and stopped knocking guys out after getting caught with plaster.
    Floyd backed out of a fight with him so he must have saw something you didn't

      Outside of Judah and his mental breakdowns, FMW avoided everyone with a 72 in or better reach. Short arm opponents, esp T-REX like Manny and Marquez, work best for his pull counters, philly rights and stabs to the ab.



      FMW came in low with this stab. Imagine a guy with arms 3-4 inches coming over the top on him. Thats why you defended the 154 WBA and WBC against Maidana.



      77 inch with a great jab. why most pundits say he would have done a demo job on FMW at 147

          And LOL @ Margarito being one of the fighters mentioned in this thread.

          Margarito has no idea how to use his height and reach. He had no jab.

              I can't take what you say seriously when all you have is excuses​
              Your like all haters where facts are always an excuse, but your ideas are always facts even when shown they are not, that's a haters memo.

                I saw a Paul Williams interview, well after his accident, where he admits that he was still an up and comer and not yet ready for the big fight on the business end. 1:14.

                  Lara #1 75'' contender for WBC and WBA 154 when FMW tricked everyone into paying for 2 PPV to fight Maidana b/c he beat his baby brother Broner.

                  Margarito 73'' and Paul Williams 78''

                  If you watch hatman video, he pointed it about FMW staying away from guys with longer arms, reach.

                    Well if Hatman said it must be engraved on the pyramids lol

                    I wonder why Fury only fights guys shorter than him, why Usain Bolt only beats guys shorter than him, why Tommy Hearns never fought guys with longer reach, best we ask Hatman lol.

                      Expected response.

                      I'm far from a hater. For me Floyd is probably the best defensive fighter I've ever seen. I respect the man thoroughly for his skills. You won't see me say much about his exhibitions etc, why? Because I don't care. I'm just a boxing fan who can see both sides of the coin.

                      He limited risk, ducked challenges when he wasn't sure and left his fanboys to make excuses. That is fact unfortunately. The only real argument against it is that pretty much all boxers do.

                      You're allowed to criticise him. He's just a man, not your god.
