There is no way in hell Floyd would have slowed Margarito down. If Cotto couldn't do it, hitting Margarito with everything and the kitchen sink with twice the power of floyd, how the hell would Floyd have done it?
Margarito would have forced him to the ropes and battered him worse than Castillo or Maidana and eventually walked him down.
I don't see how Floyd could possibly beat this version of Margarito, there is no way. Only offensive powerhouses like Pac and Mosley would have been able to slow him down and it would have to be a war.
And the beauty of boxing is the nature of its unpredictability, especially Cotto returning the favor by avenging his loss when most thought the second fight would only be a repeat of the first.
My favourite line from that fight was where Lampley says "Cotto's looking for breathing room and there is none." Summed it all up.
Yeah, plaster wraps busted Cotto's nose in round 2 and Cotto fought the rest of the night, looking for air and swallowing blood. Margarito p4p greatest cheater ever.
Kneeguel "no mas" Cotto fans just mad that prime Margarito was far too much for him
Even Margarito didn't believe you. If he did, he would not have entered the ring with plaster wraps. We live in the era of the fool. You have a guy caught, suspended and exposed, and still the fools try and squeeze him through the gates of glory as if he were Roberto Duran. Hands of plaster.

Floyd is still a far better defensive fighter and simply much better fighting on his back foot. Margarito would have given him a tough fight, but assuming Margarito didn't have plaster hands for the fight Floyd beats him pretty decisively. I think it'd be just like the Chico fight minus all the knockdowns, Floyd still had his legs back then.
