    If Cotto couldn't keep Margarito off him after constantly connecting, how can floyd?

    Those were some monster shots margarito ate like nothing- half the power of anything floyd has ever landed.

    And let's say for a second floyd has an incredible workrate, which he doesn't. He still wouldn't be able to hurt Margarito enough to slow him down.

    Sure he's got his legs, but marg is a master at closing space, and even if he runs track for 6 rounds, marg is eventually gonna walk him down.

    Or he'd be boo'd so much for running(because he'll have to run the entire 3 minutes of every round to be safe) that he'd be forced to fight, or everybody loses respect.

    Mayweather has better stamina and wouldn't let himself get bullied against the ropes.

          He keeps him off him by throwing shots? Margarito has no defence he can hit him at will. Floyd wouldn't even need to move round the ring, he could stand right in front of Margarito and not get hit, Margarito is about as fast as turtle, 1 demensional and predictable.

            Floyd hits hard enough.

            He pot shots the crap out of him, By using the lead right hand(With the elbow at the end) or lead left hook.

            Then he turns or clinches.

            He counters a lot.

            he occasionally takes a few shots.

            Margo is a slow starter, Floyd wins the first 5 rounds easy.

            It gets a little more competitive in the middle as they trade off rounds.

            Margo might finish strong like in the Paul Williams fight.

            Floyd dominates the last round.

              He doesn't keep Marg off of him. Margs will get his touches. Cotto's fatal flaw was being trapped on the ropes. Floyd will keep it in the center and just pivot and turn Margs the whole fight

                It would look something like the baldomir fight

                  He'll clinch once Tony gets set and starts to throw. He'll clinch when his back touches the ropes. He'll clinch everytime he lands a combination. He'll school Tony using master boxing skills.

                  Please, Cotto is no Floyd Mayweather Jr.

                  I'd still root for The Tijuana Tornado, though. WARGARITO!

                    You act like Floyd is Malignaggi or somin. The difference between himand COtto is that he will sit down on those right hands and Cotto was throwing punches in defense not to do damage. Floyd is too quick and would never leave the middle of the ring.
