Would defeating Margarito have done anything for Mayweathers legacy in retrospect

[BigZigga]

I feel Margarito has been exposed and his name does not mean much on anyone's resume but PWill's and Cotto's for different reason. PWill may actually have beaten a plastered up Marg and Cotto took years to recover from the Marg fight. Other than that, you really don't know how good Antonio was.

They could not ban Margarito for life lol They could not even indict him because they had no evidence.
1 There were TRACE ELEMENTS of Calcium & Sulpher on the wrap. That means VERY MINUTE TRACES. In larger quan****** yes both calcium & Sulpher are ingredients of plaster but they are also ingredients of HUMAN SWEAT !!!! also ingredients of hand cream
What I'd love to know is what happened to the BLOCKS that the LIAR ****m Richardson claimed fell out of the wrap
Also the claim that the pad was HARD is also untrue. the pad was still soft & deemed harmless by the labs testing it 2 months AFTER the fight.
If anyone cheated that night it was ****m Richardson for blatantly lying & Shane Mosely a PROVEN and self confessed EPO steroid abuser whose non stop energy & power miraculously improved from his last appearance. & his next appearance against Mayweather he gassed in 3 rounds.
C'mon do you HONESTLY believe Mosely only juiced for the DelaHoya fight???
Get real folks

I know how good Antonio Margarito was. I met him when he fought & TKO'd the indomitable Buck Smith in Ft Worth Tx many years ago when he was virtually unknown. I am certain Tony Margarito NEVER loaded or even attempted to load his gloves he didn't need to. Ask Manny Paquaio like I did if Margarito hit hard?? Manny spent a few days in bed with damaged ribs after that fight. I guess you'll say Tony had loaded gloves then too huh?? ROFL
Only 2 people LEGITIMATELY beat Margarito since I met him back then One was a close dec loss to Paul Williams that could have gone either way. The other was to P4P #1 Manny Paquaio. The Mosely façade & the Cotto rematch were total bullcrap. Cotto couldn't put away a one eyed opponent Margarito was blind in one eye from round 2. Cotto had to have the crooked NY coc save him from the embarrassment of quitting AGAIN!!!

What a ******ed post .

Manny fought both Mosley and Oscar AFTER Floyd , and both came of big wins unlike Manny where they came of dismal performances .

You got to be a dumb fck , Forbes was after Floyd and the fight before Manny and oscar was 20 lbs lighter than the version Floyd beat .

You ******s make up total BS as you go along , talk about hating you idiots take it to another level .

I wasn't talking about Manny but it seems you can't talk about Floyd with out talking about Manny these days. I agree with the bold part of your post. Just to set the record straight I am a Floyd Mayweather fan.

Who are you trying to kid , In the current climate Floyd and Manny are joined at the waste , you cannot possibly hate on Floyd naming Mosley Oscar and not say a word about Manny fighting the inferior versions of them under terrible conditions , you even named Forbes to bring Oscar down and this was way after Floyd and right before Manny .

If youre a Floyd fan your a liar or the worst that ever posted on here , not only do leave out so much fact and spin the 1/2 truths you touched on , you come back and defend Manny and call yourself a Floyd fan , site is full of hating ******s in here .

RELAX PLAYBOY!!! The thread is NOT about Manny, it was about Floyd and I was answering the question the thread poster asked. To answer that question YES defeating Margarito after he defeated Cotto would have been good for Floyd's legacy. It would have nipped the cherry picking opponents theory in the butt. Honestly you need to take some RIDDLIN or something.

Well dont come in hating with BS , you did a lot more than answer the question Forbes has nothing to do with Floyd and Margarito , but you wrongly used him to hate on Floyd , your entire post was about hating on Floyd and then you wanna say in defense youre a fan , your a liar .

A win over Margarito and Cotto at that time instead of his fake retirement would of been a great thing.

absolutely it would have been huge for his legacy. he might not be viewed as a fighter who ducks certain opponents had he taken on these 2 guys in their primes. pacman beat these 2 and is seen as a fighter who fought all comers. mayweather's legacy would have been greatly enhanced fighting a prime margarito. it was a big fight at one point. would have been a highly successful ppv on the heels of the hatton win also

You got to be a dumb fck , forbes was after floyd and the fight before manny and oscar was 20 lbs lighter than the version floyd beat .

You ******s make up total bs as you go along , talk about hating you idiots take it to another level .

have you ever been bullied? Do you remember that one kid in school that everyone was afraid to fight? The guy that took everyone's lunch money and when he walked by everyone shut up....if so then you know how margarito was thought of at the time......the tijuana tornado was just that!!! Non stop pressure punches from all angles......he may not be hofer but at that time he was unstoppable....he had the style, the endurance, the chin and the heart to keep coming for 12 rounds and throw over 1000 punches. If you watched him you would have been scared for floyd.

Floyd waited almost 16 months after mosely beat margarito to fight him and if you watch that right hand that landed almost crippled him from a 39 year old mosely.

Floyd barely beat oscar who at that point in his career was having trouble besting steve forbes he was too busy sniffing coke and dressing in fish nets

floyd took on hatton who was not allowed to fight on the inside by joe cortez which was hatton's whole game when he fought. Floyd elbowed his way to a check hook win. To me besting a true ww a big ww in margarito would be much more impressive than this win.

Styles make fights and if you are a boxing fan you know that tony had the style needed to give floyd sweats in bed.

i don't think anyone would have said that!!! If you saw the cotto fight prior to mosely beating him you would not be saying that. No one would have said that. If you think that your not as smart as you think!!!

i wasn't talking about manny but it seems you can't talk about floyd with out talking about manny these days. I agree with the bold part of your post. Just to set the record straight i am a floyd mayweather fan.

reloaded shows his boxing intelligence in the bolded

If Margarito has zero effect on his legacy, what would be your take on Floyd vs Maidana 2?

ZERO EFFECT! You're not going to get me to defend Mayweather BS, I call it like I see it.

Mayweather beating Old Oscar De La Hoya and Mosley and beating a undersized JMM is more Meaningful than beating, Victor Ortiz, Guerrero and Maidana Twice...

Forget Margarito, I criticize Mayweather more for not fighting Paul Williams, Winky Wright and Vernon Forrest! That is who I wanted to see him against! I thought Vernon Forrest would have BEATEN MAYWEATHER and I think Winky Wright would have given him problems as well. I still stand by that.

Regardless of the BS that is posted under my screen name, I'm not biased towards Mayweather AT ALL!
