Mayweather vs Margarito at 147

[TyrantT316]

Margarito is a good fighter with rang...but he is just too slow...his arms are long and his punches come slower...he is patient but just too slow...I kind of think it would be a repeat of Floyd/Castillo II...maybe not as one sided as Floyd/Gatti...but Floyd would win convincingly...

size almost has nothing to do with it when it comes to Floyd

i still think that castillo has unfinished business with mayweather, and he is probably the only fighter to push him hard and even beat him (in most people's mind for the first fight)........

i don't know why gatti tried to box mayweather in the center of the ring...he didn't push him at all.

I still think to succeed against Mayweather you have to apply constant, intelligent pressure, like Castillo did. I think Hatton probably has the best shot at 140, but if the Hatton team insists on Manchester as the venue, and I'm sure they will, I doubt that fight will happen.

I think Margarito would have the best shot at 147 for the same reasons -- he would apply constant, intelligent pressure.

This fight if it happens will go to Floyd.
Margarito will not look as bad as Gatti and will be willing to put up a fight.
Lets not count out that he does def. have a punchers chance.
I dont mind this fight just to see what happens.Another win for the slick Mayweather.

I can't see this being Floyd's next fight. Okay so be beats Gatti spectacularly - but everyone knows that Gatti was basically given the belt after Tszyu was made WBC emeritus champ. He needs to beat Hatton or Cotto before he can fairly be called a champ at 140.

Having said that - Floyd beats Margarito easy at 147. Margarito is way overrated - I pick Judah, Mosley, Spinks, DLH, Mayorga, Forrest and even Santos over him at 147

lol Santos at 147 haha when they fought Santos was weighing 175 pounds in PR. I think Margarito is top 3 at welter, we need a unification bout with Judah so we can clear things up around here.

i think margarito looses this fight due to pbf's boxing skills and speed maragarito does have more power but against pbf is useless unless you have speed ...as far as castillo goes i don't think he can beat pbf now in their 1st fight i think castillo surprised pbf and i also feel like many that castillo won that fight but in the re-match pbf had a more decisive win if their were to fight a 3rd. time it would be a more lobsided win for pbf because he allready knows how to fight castillo ...the only person i can see beating floyd right now is zab this is just because zab has good boxing skills and has alot of speed i think he is a bit slower than floyd but pbf has not faced someone with zab's speed this would give him trouble .

THIS IS FOR DLT You cannot tell me about Significant Wins HOW BOUT PBF who has PBF Fought at welter who is significant enough to crown him as the best at welter A DIMINISHING GATTI With not enough hand speed to last 6 rounds, A HAS BEEN SAMRMBA MITCHELL, You cant tell me he is the best at welter < I GIVE MUCH RESPECT AT A LOWER WEIGHT Class with his wins over castillo and diego, but margarito does have the WBO belt and is ranked2nd in the division , You know what it does makes sense to fight a hard hitting brick chin having agrentina boxer who is a lesser risk why because baldomir is to slow mayweather will overwelm him with speed agility and impecable defense, He will win credibility from fans like you "CONSUMER FANS" who only names. Besides let PBF beat baldomir and get the belt let him get his chance with the golden boy once margarito gets there he will be de throwned WHy you ask because the mental battle has been won FACT OF THE MATTER HE TOOK A LOWER RISK FIGHT FOR FIVE MILLION and not a crowd pleasing 8 million he is afraid of not getting his may 5 bout for a possible golden whopping , its simple clean cut and dry PBF WILL NEVER BE CONSIDEREd THE BEST AT WELTER UNTIL HE FIGHTS LEGITIMATE OPPONENT LIKE OSCAR MARGARITO HATTON , im going out on the limb on this won but the hell with it PAUL WILLIAMS why not throw in Winky wright , Or a lets good one for you "SHANE MOSLEY" is that a decent name for you. If PBF Fights these guys much respect but until then he is just a GREAT PROSPECT IN THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISIOn

Margarito should fight either Cotto or Williams before fighting Floyd. With a recognized name on his resume, he has a better chance of actually landing a fight with Floyd.

How the hell did you find this old thread? Anyways, you cant be serious? Floyd just beat the guy who was the Undisputed Champ i Zab and now he's fighting the guy who is now the Undisputed Champ in Baldmorie. You sound so funny trying to put Margarito's name in with the likes of Oscar, Winky, or even Hatton for that matter who has legitimate wins over Tszyu and Callazo.

Ill ask you this: What has Margarito done to be considered the man at 147? Who died and made him the King? Who died and said that everything has to go through him? Margarito doesnt have one big win, he's not rated in the top 2 at WW by the Ring, he has a fake belt that he didnt get from the Champ and only has because it is vacant, he just lost 2 fights ago, and he has a milliong guys calling him out but is settling for guys like Clottey. What makes him the man over Baldy who just beat 2 legitimate guys and the real WW champ? What makes him more legitimate over Callazo who has beaten everyone including Rivera and alot of people thinks he beat Hatton. You could argue that Margarito is no different then Mesquita who is undefeated and has a belt. What makes Margarito the man over him? Floyd meanwhile has beat Zab and is going to fight Baldy for the real title.

Also I will tell you like I tell others. You guys make me sick when you bring up names like Oscar & Hatton when Floyd has tried forever to fight Oscar, Hatton, & Mosley. All 3 of them very recently have publicly turned him down but the haters never want to talk about that and act like they dont even acknowledge it. One thing you cant argue against is that Floyd has put in work throught his career but Margarito hasnt. You guys never want to answer the question of why doesnt Margarito have to fight anybody? He can live his whole life by calling out Floyd and doing nothing else? You guys act like he's the only one who's called out Floyd. A million guys do but 99% of them arent worthy and he is in that boat. Your going to sit by and let guys like Rivear, Callazo, Ouma, and many more call out Margarito but you dont care if he doesnt fight them?

The last thing we have to be clear about is the money because this was a big issue for everyone and it turns out that you and the others are wrong. Floyd did get 8mil for Baldy. They say he got 8mil + 1 dollar so that ends any discussion about him running. He is now fighting the real champ for the exact same amount of money. Im not a Margarito hater. He could be the best fighter of all time for all I know but he could also be complete garbage. No one will ever know if he doesnt fight one decent guy but you fans let him get away with it. Is that so much to ask? Clottey who looked like complete garbage on HBO wont cut it
