If it was PBF in there that night, could he have kept Margito off him like Manny did?

Marquez was a TUNEUP after a 2 year layoff.

At least he didn't fight Golden Johnson or Alphonso Gomez....LOL........

Those are type of bums Cotto and Margarito call tuneups.

Thank you.

Lol, the whole point about it, is Manny couldn't stop Margarito EITHER, so therefore we must raise Shanes hand, Shane Mosley DID stop Margarito.

C'mon *****...

You know Manny had mercy on Margarito.

Floyd is better on the inside than Margarito.

Mayweather wasn't supposed to stop any of the guys he KO'd.

I remember people saying he didn't have enough pop to keep Gatti off him....haha

Yeah but your not gonna stop someone clinching and in-fighting. It would look similar to B-Hop vs Trinidad or Ward vs Kessler where Floyd tries to smother him and slow his work rate down.

Cause Marquez called him out on live TV AND he was #2 P4P at the time.

Not only was Marquez P4P #2, he had a following, he was sorta if not a PPV attraction, a marketable fight. There was alot of reason why it was acceptable for Floyd to fight Marquez.

Pacman didn't fight Margarito at 154 though.Pacman also didn't fight the best version of Margarito either.The version of Margarito that Pacman fought would be beaten pretty badly by Floyd,IMO.With that out the way,Margarito is less deserving of a fight with Floyd than anyone else I can think of.

that's debatable. margarito's style and pressure has roughly been the same all thru out his career. it's not like you can say he "slowed down" or "lost his punching power" or something. he was a big underdog and was training his ass off going into the pacquiao bout so mentally he was there, physically he looked the same, stronger even.

i forgot about the dumb catchweight. margarito at 154 is a force, whether people like it or not. i got him battering cotto again and i'm rican lol

i can agree to the bold part too, but margarito would be hell for floyd. i really, really don't think that floyd at this point (age, layoffs) has the tools to make it an easy fight. he may win, but it wouldn't be a stoppage nor an easy UD IMO

Yea you got a point.

[FerdinandMarcos]

Thank you.

The guy fights an ATG as a tuneup and the haters still talk *****.

A great small fighter like JMM is better than a big BUM like Micheal Jennings.

[FerdinandMarcos]

I don't know where you get this ***** stuff from. You seem very sensitive over Manny Pacquiao, almost in a sexual way, as a man is to a women and as a women is to a man.

Anyways, Manny did let up off Margarito during the late rounds, I think if he wanted the KO bad enough, he could have got it.

*******.

You missed the sarcasm...
I was kidding..

Exactly. And he wasn't a bum or a tomato can by any means. He was still active.
