How does a prime Margarito beat Mayweather?

[The Gambler1981]

Baldomir and Margarito are like the same guy~ with a bit different attributes that made them good fighters but the difference between them is negligible~

Both made Clottey mentally collapse~ both beat a lot of decent fighters ~ both beat a guy that people thought was hot shit at the time~ both got exposed by better fighters~ sounds very similar to me aside from the fact Baldomir worked his ass off to get his and deserves respect while Margarito is a cheater who was greatly hyped by several southern California writers who really deserves nothing from the boxing public~

Baldomir was getting his a** kicked a lot harder by Clottey. Margarito, coming off only one round in nearly two years, fared much better. Margarito beat a lot of top welters in the 2000's, while Baldomir was a flash in the pan. Margarito's win over Six Heads was pretty impressive. He was the first to bring the beeyotch out of Cintron. Guys like Danny Perez are unknown on here but he was a very good fighter in his prime who Margarito fought twice. A prime Margarito is very underrated, methinks. He would've beaten every welter not named Floyd from 2003-2007.

Ive been trying to figure out the answer to this question for 6 years now.

He was extrenely TOO slow on his feet and with his hands to be anything more than target practice.

Margarito breaks you down like he's chopping down a tree. In his destructions over Kermit Cintron it took a number of punches to stop him, it was the same way with Miguel Cotto. I think Floyd has a solid enough chin that 1 or 2 punches wouldn't put him down. I think Tony would need to land a lot but I don't see Floyd allowing him to do so.

would have been as BRUTAL AS THE Gatti fight

Mayweather against a SLOW, Flat Footed Fighter...would have been a BOXING CLINIC, a very EASY UD for Mayweather and you really don't have to be a Mayweather fan to know that..most fans know that but they just hate Mayweather and they using the "HE DUCKED Margarito" as a way to make Mayweather fans upset I guess

but Margarito even in his PRIME would have gotten DESTROYED and I don't think Cotto would have much of a chance either, Cotto was Ring Side during Mayweather vs Gatti fight if I am not mistaken

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Yeah he was ringside looking like he saw a live beheading. Hatton was there too.

Mayweather wouldve beat Margarito half to death.

Still he made him mentally fold, he got DQ'd in a fight he was killing in that is pretty much inexcusable. A big red flag when looking at how strong a guy is mentally. Out of all Clottey's loses that one rings the most true as him, finding a way to lose a fight he should win.

Margarito is a good fighter I just don't see that much difference other than hype and getting pushed properly (after a certain point).

Margirito puts up a good fight. But could never win.

I hear you, bud but Margarito wasn't that slow in the mid-decade of the 200's. He was pretty nifty with the hands and feet then.

He made him fold by...just standing there. . ****ing Clottey, man.
