I see Floyd winning but to be honest I have seen fighters give up a larger gap, as far as difference in skill is concerned, and still win.

The gap in skill between Segura and Calderon was wider and Giovanni still won. Also there are other countless examples in the history of the sport in which there was a wider gap in skill but the pressure fighter still won.

I think Floyd's inside game, strenght at 147 and ability to slow guys down is what helps him win, but I think Tony still gives him hell (and could pull off the upset).

He doesn't, all these dudes on here saying he would are delusional.

I'm not a fan of Floyd the man but Floyd the fighter picks Marg apart for 12 rounds, moving and pot shotting him to a UD.

He doesn't punish him like Pac did though, he wouldn't stand in front of him that long to be able to do that.

by blocking everything with his face.....

Also you don't need to be a one punch KO type of guy.

All you have to have is enough power to change the course of the fight or make your opponent abandon his gameplan, and to be honest Margarito definately has that type of power.

No. It's baldie vs Floyd all over again. That's why I don't get the criticism for him fighting baldie instead of marg. Dude was overrated then as he was recently.

Sometimes I wish Floyd was still under the toprank banner. Otherwise we would have

Floyd vs cotto
Floyd vs marg
And Floyd vs pacq

Margarito would move forward all the time and Floyd would jab and move all over the ring and Floyd would win by UD.

The same way Cotto and PAC did, just scared the **** out of him.

Floyd was terrified of Margarito.
He bought out his contract to avoid him.
