Revisit Mayweather vs Margarito

[MrFactor]

After see in the Maidana fight, it made me think, this is exactly how Tony Margarito would have fought Mayweather. The glaring differences between Maidana and Margarito are their respective sizes. Maidana came up from 140. Margarito had longer reach and was a solid WW for his career.

Mayweathers fan base get very bothered by the Margarito talk, but we saw last nite an example of a guy who is gonna keep coming and is willing to commit to the body and throw over 100 punches per round. Maidana's only flaw last nit was his size.

They get bothered by the countless names he never fought. Williams,Margarito,Pacquaio, all could have beat or went punch for punch with Floyd. He's a carefully crafted illusion of an unbeatable fighter.

Call me crazy but I think the Mayorga that fought Forrest could give Floyd more problems than a prime Margarito/Williams.

no need to revisit anything the guy is a confirmed cheater who loaded his gloves but yall dont care cause hes one of those face first brawlers who got the corona boys hooked,plain and simple even with plaster he gets his face boxed off by floyd easy work

The women's support group are going to have to get ready for a long year. The 'Margarito whoops Floyd' argument just got a whole new lease of life last night

If Mayweather fought Margarito like he fought Maidana yesterday, the fight would not go the distance and Margarito would have his gloves raised at the end, be it Everlast MX gloves or any other.

i always believed that volume punchers like williams, margarito and pac would give floyd fits. last night only reaffirmed this belief.

when you throw more than one punch at Floyd he goes in a shell and he waits until it is safe before he counters. Sometimes he hits you as you come in to discourage you from getting off first but when he faces guys who are offensive minded and don't mind taking one to land one that where it gets complicated for mayweather because of his defensive mentality.

His natural instinct when someone flurries at him is to cover up and roll his shoulders. He rarely ever trades. He picks his shots and again it's to discourage a guy from coming in and then when fighters get tentative that's when Floyd beats them one punch at a time with his potshots.

You saw it multiple times against de la hoya, against zab Judah when zab got off first. But the thing is those two didn't have the right mindset of an offensive fighter and were easily discouraged after getting hit a few times.
