what was it about Margarito that made some of you think he was a threat to beat Money

[daggum]

Stop that granite chin ****.........please.

Floyd's body jab would have folded him like an old beach towel.

Tony couldn't hurt Clottey
Baldomir had Clottey hurt and holding on.

wow you have even resorted to lying and pretending baldomir was good. thats a new low for floyd fans

[Kigali]

....meanwhile, 45% felt margarito's chin and stamina would have given Floyd the blues...

As if that means jack ****.

Tony couldn't even hit Mosely......fighting Mayweather would have been like fighting in hologram....with a hellified body jab.

Getting hit on the solar plexus would hate away anybody's stamina....especially and overrated guy's stamina.

While you pretend Margarito was any good.

At least Baldomir can throw a straight punch..

Baldomir gave Floyd a better fight than Canelito.

[Real King Kong]

Bottom line is...we'll never know cyz they didn't fight.

Yea you're right about that....A poll on nsb with Floyd's name on it, the negative option is gonna be choosen everytime.

Margarito is one of the most basic fighters I ever seen get turned into a boogeyman because a great campaign from his promoter and looking good beating just decent competition

Margarito lost to every Elite fighter he stepped in the ring with....Cotto, Paul Williams, Mosley and Pacquaio...even lost to Daniel Santos smh and no name guys early in his career


How was he gonna beat some one that was better than them....Mayweather is without a doubt the best of his generation and back then, their was no one even messing with pretty boy Floyd from 2004-2007

Cotto boxed his ears off until the bricks and fatigue played their part...Mayweather is better than Cotto in almost every era...until the 6 round I don't remember Margo taking a round




Dude was a good fighter but the biggest hype job of my generation....they all look like boogeymen until they face elite guys....I hope GGG live up to the hype

they are all the best fighter since Ali when Bob promotes them

yesterday, Arum said that Stevenson is similar to Ray Leonard

so the answer is #4 - bob arums boogeyman campaign..... combined with elements of #2 - they just wanted floyd to lose to anyone

that is easily proven by the fact that NOW - even with the benefit of hindsight - you still see posters saying that Margarito could have beaten Mayweather..... styles blah blah

Margarito couldn't beat Mayweather with a bat.

Yea you're right about that....A poll on nsb with Floyd's name on it, the negative option is gonna be choosen everytime.

naw you can't just say that, because in the case of margarito, Floyd actually had a fight on the table with dude, and opted to turn it down...dude actually called him out, to his face, and its on tape...

some stuff just can't be disputed, or excused away so easily...

[IronDanHamza]

Margarito may not have beaten Floyd but at the time it was an interesting one

Size, chin, stamina.

Shame it didn't happen.

[therealpugilist]

If Tony had something Floyd wanted..like a real title,not that WBO crap...he would have gladly fought that trash.

the wbo wasnt even recognized as a serious title back then....calzaghe, Hopkins and wlad pretty much made their belt matter in the 2000s lol


no one can even name their "champions" in 2006-2007 lol
