Now You See Why Floyd Wanted No Part Of Margarito

Imagine Chino only with 4" more of height, 4" of reach, better chin, more relentless, better stamina, more skilled.

Floyd's ****ing nightmare right there. Smart choice to duck him, extended his career and record by a lot

Well Floyd was also much much much better in 2005-2006.....He wouldn't stay on the ropes nearly as often.

Margarito would have been a nightmare match up for Floyd. Mayweather just does not have the fire power to keep margarita off him.

I mean chino looked like he went for a jog after the fight lol not a single mark on his face. Mayweather's punches would have tickled tony and mayweather would likely hurt his hand hitting tony's big ass head.

mayweather got exposed..oh well time to move on

[sargo]

Yup. There's reasons for ducking.

Punches in bunches he don't like. People who can take punches he don't like.

Credit to him for at least fighting Maidana.

Would he now fight the faded Pacquiao?

Was Floyd 37 8 years ago? Because I could have sworn he was in his 20's then.

Floyd's hands were also extremely brittle back then (what happened to that btw?). I suspect that was a key factor in his first 'retirement'. I remember seeing a documentary back in the day where Floyd claimed his doctors told him they were in such bad condition that he wouldn't be able to fight anymore.

No way he has anything for the guy who literally walked through Cotto's punches and broke him down mentally and physically. Smart move by Haymon to duck that fight.

[Foreign Soil]

Exactly what I was thinking. Margarito was a better pressure fighter than Maidana, same with Paul Williams. Both fighters would've been nightmares for Floyd and they literally gave him nightmares as he never dared to fight them.

[White_Knight]

Not only Margarito, but Williams, Pacquiao, Martinez, and Lara too.

Margarito KO
