Margarito had a very wide wingspan. Floyd didn’t like those fighters that can reach him.
When your opponent has long arms then there is going to come a time where you have to stand and ****. Can you imagine Floyd doing something like what Mosley did? Rattling off devastating combos over and over. He couldn’t even if he had the stones to because of his brittle hands.Comment

If you were to box and make it to this level you fear nobody, you are a tradesmen doing a job you are trained to do .
Its hard for a casual boxing fan to get his perspective thats its a fist fight out of his head and see it as a trained discipline where fear is not there because they know what to expect they have nerves and be anxious but fear no, its more just focus on doing a job.
That fight was all about money nothing to do with fear, at top level there is none, Margarito is a sloth he would be so easy for Floyd to UD.
Arum had a lot to do with it not happening there are a few good videos that gos into behind the scenes with this fight.

Margarito would’ve gave him a hell of a fight. Bad style match up for Floyd.
Floyd probably wouldve been TKO’d because Marg would just walk thru his punches and absorbed all Floyd’s jabs like nothing and kept attacking the body to break him down.Comment

No. Because Margarito is the one who first exposed Floyd as a protected handpicking coward fraud. Arum pushed hard to make Floyd fight Margarito and Floyd kept ducking it using an inventory of rotating excuses. The excuses became to ridiculous that FLoyd exposed his own cowardice. Floyd was terrified of Margarito and the video of Margarito confronting the fraud proved it (at Oscar Mayorga PC). The media pressure became so great Floyd had to use so many different duck excuses to shake off Margarito - C level, doesn't draw, one dimensional, nobody knows who he is, wont do business with Arum who is a grumpy old man, will fight him when the time is right etc.
Arum wanted it in April 2006 but Floyd ducked. Arum offered Floyd a career high payday numerous offers. Floyd ducked. Floyd wasted all of 2006 and then finally handpicked the bum Baldomir in Nov for the same amount Arum offered him to fight Margarito. Floyd was so scared of Margarito and angry that Arum was trying to set him up to get beaten up by Margarito he bought out of his Top Rank contract for six figures to escape Arum and Margarito.
Margarito was a terror back then. Ripping ears off opponents (Lujan) and beating the hell out of top contenders. Even beat up Oscar in sparring. Margarito would have eaten Floyd alive and Floyd knew it.
Haymon later told Marshall Kauffman, he would never let Floyd fight Margarito because "He's too big, too strong and he never stops coming."

FALSE.
Floyd bought out of Top Rank contract when Arum was pushing Floyd to fight Margarito. FACT. 100%. FACT. Used Goossen as his promoter for the Baldomir fixed sparring session.Comment
