    It's hard to say if Floyd would have been "strong" enough to manhandle Marg like Shane IMO. Floyd is not that big. The size difference is what make it interesting. (Sergio and Paul, their styles would have been interesting to see as well)

    IMO, Marg took the primes of both Cotto and Manny. Cotto no need to explain. With Manny, if looking at punch stats. His numbers start going down after Marg.
    Brains > brawn
    At WW, May was not about beating people up
    A punchers chance is what I would have given Marg.
    However, May's sick defense, solid chin and hand speed would have been too much for someone as predictable and slow as Marg.

    Just mho.

    I was very surprised Shane beat Marg the way he did. Expected a 12-0 UD.

    • To put the original question of the thread in a basic perspective...

      I think the list of successful fighters who are clean for their entire careers is much shorter than the list of those who juice regularly or at some point.

        • Yes 100% clean and 100% undefeated. People still crying about Floyd several years after his retirement. Let it go fellas.

            Sure, Floyd had a reason for both Margs and Cotto. They were the top dogs in the division when Floyd "retired".

            After Cotto beat Mosley would have been the perfect time for a Floyd match up- (This is pre Cotto/Marg 1 and Cotto/Pac, at WW). You would be lying if you said it would be the same fight when Cotto/Floyd was at 54, later in Cotto's career. Floyd would most likely win, but my boy Miguel would have given him a much better fight. As a Cotto fan I felt Floyd's retirement robbed me of that fight at the time. Oh well.

            With Marg, Its ok. We saw the video. No need to stress how scared Floyd was of Margarito. Styles make fights my friend. It would have been a more interesting fight than people will admit to. Floyd had the skills no doubt, but does he have the pop to keep Marg back the entire fight? I would have like to see that, wouldn't you?

            Dela Hoya barely lost. Floyd should have given him a rematch. In hindsight, instead of Manny it should have been Floyd. It would have been an easier $win$. Guarantee Floyd slapping himself for not taking that.

            Then when Floyd decided to unretire- he fought a "fat" JMM who he brought up 2 classes and cheated him 2 pounds, LOL.

            It's all good though bro. With everyone fighting each other during that time while Floyd was on the sidelines. Future generations will come to the conclusion that Floyd is a chump who was scared when the timing to do great things was there. He did it to himself and his own legacy. Not a good look, his retirements will age badly regardless of the reasons.
            I can see your point regarding Cotto, I feel the same way... Floyd is not the only one fighting at catch weights etc, but Cotto is a little bigger than Floyd, and Cotto always had skills, at their best it would have been a great fight. But timing is always the variable out of control.

            Styles do make fight but does not give a reason for Margarito having success. A true pressure fighter would give Floyd problems Margarito did not have the feet to apply pressure that way. Floyd could pick Margarito apart, others did... Margarito beat martinez, that is his best scalp. He beat good workmanlike fighters, never an elite puncher, except cheating against Cotto.

            Rematches... Yes De La Hoya fight was close, but again, its a rematch not a compelling reason to avoid when a first fight happened, whether we agree with the conclusion, or not.

            Floyd did unretire... Agreed. I don't disagree with Floyd's motivations only the conclusion that he retired because the division was too strong, when the real reason by all logic was to keep his record in tact.

                    Checks thread.

                    Sees no positive PED test for Floyd like Ryan. Notices usual inferiority complex and insecurity from the forum loser .

                    Leaves thread.
