      I would have much rather saw margarito than baldomir, Judah, or Sharmba honestly, I am speaking specifically of that time period. Especially Baldomir, because Floyd didn't sign on for that fight, but speaking to your post, you leaving out that
      margarito also holds a punishing win on cotto, and dealt some serious punishment to pacquaio in that loss...plus shane, and pacquaio are far more aggressive fighters than mayweather, they would take a few punches to land some, Floyd don't, so
      maybe. maybe not, so I was interested in seeing how Floyd would handle a much bigger version of a diego corrales, but I don't assume anything because a Floyd pundit says so.

        you trippin"

        the Oscar that quartey, tito, vargas, shane, fought was dangerous...the prime 147 lb oscar

        the 154 lb Oscar that Floyd fought was the best opponent for the biggest amount of $...been ko'd by Hopkins, and couldn't even beat Felix Sturm @ 160 for pete's sake...

          the oscar floyd fought had 1 win(over mayorga) in 3 years, and was ranked #6 by the ring. what a surprise floyd fans think this was a dangerous fight. its because they are used to him cherry picking so much that this actually looks like a tough fight

              it must be tough to be a Floyd fan...they spend their whole life, playing up shopworn fighters, and fringe beltholders, and playing down the threats...lol

                I doubt think Mayweather could hurt him, or deter him from moving forward! at some point in the fight, Mayweather would of slowed down and got caught up in the tornado! (But the odds are that, Mayweather would still win via 12 round decision!)....the fight would be similar to Margarito vs Cotto, but with the only difference being? that Mayweather has the ability to implement that sort of game plan more astutely for 12 rounds.

                The fight would of been a competitive fight, and Mayweather would of taken some serious punishment down the home stretch! (Margarito during a certain period in his career, was the most feared fighter on the planet!)....

                  you will take a past prime part time fighter over a wrecking ball who was #1 in his division simply because of the weight? oscar is not even the type of fighter that bullies opponents and uses weight to his advantage. marg is. a 147 pound margarito is a lot more physical than a 154 pound oscar. and this is all meaningless because floyd himself knew marg was more dangerous as he refused the figth multiple times and he never refused the oscar fight

                    Based on what? There is zero history of this.
