No one knew or cared about Margarito at the time.
    I love how you keep slapping posters with nothing but FACTS.

    Now that is a fact.

    you need patience though, some of them started watching boxing after end of 2008...

        Although Floyd wants a typical opponent that'll come forward to engage and he'll counter alongside and has been always successful at that, no one in Floyd's resume strings flurries of punches (and all power shots) like Pac. It'll be interesting to see Floyd countering 4-5 combos in less than 2secs...
        Did you watch the De La Hoya fight? Somewhere in the middle rounds, De La Hoya hit Floyd with 10 body shot in about 2 seconds while Floyd was laying on the ropes. Floyd didn't flinch. Somewhere around the fourth or fifth round, Hatton hit Floyd with the same two punch combination to the head and body that he KO'd Jose Luis Castille with. Hatton paused because he thought Floyd would go dowh. Floyd didn't flinch. Floyd can take a punch and I don't think Manny will hit him with anything that he can't handle.

          Floyd's accuracy higly depends not only in his timing and speed, but mainly because of the amount of punches thrown, LESS IS MORE. Floyd's an advocate of it, evident throughout the years of his steadily punch rate receding, because of developing ring generalship, and he don't need more punches when he has ring mastery already.

          Pac will win via KO, and that's the only way, and his tangibles are testament that it's very possible.
          Well that's your opinion and you have the right to say what's in your mind. But, unlike many other Boxers, Floyd isn't relentless at anything. He can throw 40+ punches in a round, but he'll do it in a timely low pace rate that you would think he throw less than that amount..Floyd is smart enough to know not to engage in a slugfest against Manny. I think he can more throw punches in that fight than he has in his previous ones because the more combination punches Manny throws at him, the more he'll counter back and move out of the way. It's kind of like Manny's in and out style, but Floyd will do it better. I'm not saying he will throw 600+ punches total in that fight, but i do think he'll throw more just to stay active on the Judges scorecard.

            I don't get why people are saying Mayweather ducked Cotto and Magarito.

            The last time I checked Floyd Mayweather Jr returned to boxing...

            WHY aren't they calling him out now?!!

                he makes excuses to suit whoever he doesnt want to fight...losses, etc...
                your information is wrong about "Mayweather didn't want to fight Cotto because he is Puerto Rican" that was WRONG! so no you info is not 100% correct

                secondly do your FULL RESEARCH and understand why Mayweather turned down the Margarito fight for $8 Million, because he wanted to get out of his deal with Top Rank and Arum to ultimately make EVEN more money and setup and even BIGGER payday with Oscar De La Hoya which he did, Arum told Mayweather that he wasn't interested in doing business with Oscar especially since Oscar and Arum was in the middle of a lawsuit or just finished one at that time, so was it really "Ducking" absolutely not it was a boxer looking out for himself and his family and trying to make the most money possible while he can, so Mayweather gave up $8 Million, paid Arum $750,000 to become a free agent, made the fight with Oscar, made a TON OF MONEY and would go on to become the biggest draw in boxing since Oscar retired, all WITHOUT Bob Arum taking most of his Money

                DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Guys are just looking for anything negative to post about Mayweather but they are not bring any FACTS or Logic to the table

                    Yes watched all of those sir!

                    But we're talking about why these guys' workrates went down, and what I believe is Floyd's ring generalship took the show and got the better of his opponents. And these guys didn't cut the ring better to lure Floyd where they want him to be to execute their thing.
