Revisit Mayweather vs Margarito

[Divine Hammer]

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.

yup well said.

Great post. Thats the blueprint. Hence, no Margarito, Williams, Pacquaio fights. All of those guys would be continuously hitting him and not taking their feet off the gas. The Amir Khan that fought last nite was impressive and may provide significant difficulties for Floyd.

Margarito would have pushed Floyd's caka in.

Is Mayweather 37 in this scenario or seven years younger?

Is Mayweather 37 in this scenario or seven years younger?

This is the same question I keep asking.

The Margarito situation was in 2006, that's 8 years ago.

Floyd was in his 20's. Floyd is a few years shy of 40 now. Slight difference.

I would love to know what the average IQ of this board is.

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

since i know ur a racist bro, what about paul williams vs floyd?

given his performances against a smaller JLC and maidana, p will UD's floyd.

marg fight straight up brawling style whilst maidana throws and his style is awkward. stop comparing them.

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

The Mayorga that was hungry against Forrest, without a doubt. Punches from every angle. Theres a reason why floyd has mostly fought guys who will just try to outbox him. He can't stand to be hunted. Its easier to just outbox the guy who "was impressive in his last fight", rather than the hunter who goes for the kill at all times.
