    floyd would handle him like alvarez and baldomir, maybe even easier. complete mismatch, i cant see margarito winning half a minute let alone a round.

    margarito is way too slow to touch floyd and he doesnt have one punch KO power even if he could get a lucky punch in at some point. prime mayweathers stamina is legendary, somebody just walking him down with some slow ass feet and no skills isnt going to bother him in the least. margarito has to plant those slow ass feet to throw combinations too, so he would be stripped of his usual workrate as mayweather utilizes his movement. floyd does have the power to get margaritos respect too, not to the head but to the body. but in all honesty he could beat him without it it.

    its funny how the same people who get on floyd for fighting nothing but slow, plodding pressure fighters turn around and say he will get knocked out by the slowest plodder of the last generation.

      disagree to a degree...I do think Floyd wins undisputed UD, but this would've been a tough fight. Marg throws in huge volume and isn't afraid to commit to the body. I don't think floyd can hurt him either.

        Mayweather's greatest feat has been turn posters like the OP into idiots.

          Da poll doe.

          This is all access coming to you live. Margarito was a young hungry lion that floyd could not overlook.

            Don't think so. Floyd wins a boring, comfortable decision

Then everyone here would cry about how a much smaller man should have stood his ground against an opponent outweighing him by 14-15 pounds
              There are just too many hypotheticals with Floyd.

              He will be remember as a great defensive fighter but avoided a lot of fighters.

                  Look at the Floyd groupies squirm. Margarito will always be a thorn in those tender sides.
