Thread: Why do People Think Margarito Will Steamroll Mayweather???I dont get it

I have seen a few of Tony's fights and he is a feroucious puncher and he is relentless..But he is slow and telegraphs his punches...Floyd is a porsche in the ring he can get in get out stand there and duck slip and roll...anyone that says Floyd dosent have the power is wrong...Floyd has accumalative punching power in Volumes and Combos..Floyd is deadly accurate and lightning quick

Margarito Can't outbox Floyd,Can't beat him to the punch,does not have the defense does not have the accuracy...

Margarito will have to try mug Floyd inside and on the ropes and Floyd wont stay in there and allow that

Floyd wears down his opponents often leaving them confused and double clutching and not sure when to throw...because of Floyds speed and counterpunching he overwhelms like a swarm of angry bee's

People say that Floyd has never faced anyone like Margarito...I say Margarito has never faced anyone like Floyd

Castillo pressured Mayweather and he took some clean shots from Castillo Floyd adapted and that was years ago Floyd has gotten smarter and EVEN MORE POLISHED...Castillo is faster and more mobile than Margarito

Yeah i dont get it either, i guess it was like when he fought gatti...everyone hoped gatti could hit him once and knock him out...didnt happen there and wouldnt happen here.

I agree Toney is being overhyped and rightfully, we need to do this with every person who fights Floyd. It's the same thing as back in the day when Ali wasn't accepted by the boxing public and every fighter he faced was supposed to be the one who shuts his loud mouth up. PBF is in the same senario, having the undefeated record, embarassing most of his opponents, totally arrogant, basically everything that made people initially hate Ali and now he's the most beloved fighter of all time. It's good for boxing, and if Floyd wasn't shit when it came to talking it would be even better for boxing. But seeing how he's not very charismatic lets hope people atleast take notice of what he can do in the ring, which is destroy people like Toney.

Its because mayweather at 147 is still relatively unknown....

The castillo comparison doesnt work because we are talking an entirely different size of fighter....

margarito is a tough cookie, and it would make an interesting fight IMO...

Well let me ask you this,since Catillo is a naturally bigger man than 135 obviously if Castillo moved up to 147 who you picking Castillo or Margarito??

Also Castillo is far more skilled than Margarito... he could only hit Mayweather with short punches which Margarito almost never throws, and he used head movement almost every second of both fights so Mayweather couldn't throw combinations.

In a word......Margarito

It's lonely at the top, and as long as Floyd is there he will have critics inside the ring as well as outside the ring. Every great boxer has critics, but let's face it he is the king of boxing right now and his career has been spotless.

but now he is so far from where he started in terms of weight, It gets more difficult and very interesting...

he has chosen to go up so much, he didnt need to....he needs to prove himself in this division....

if he goes up again then he is possibly beyond his reach....

I agree with you that he should stay away from 154, but I think he will be fine at 147. Boxing needs him and staying at 140 or 135 would not have been as great of challenge that 147 poses, he also knows that these will be bigger payday's for him. The fans deserve to see him fight one of the big three (Hatton, Margarito, Cotto) fighting Mosley or Vargas at any weight would be useless. I don't want a freak accident to happen to him such as the Mosley headbutt against Forrest, after him there is no aire to the throne. You see how hard the fans are on Jermaine Taylor, Winky is no spring chicken, and even though Pac is fierce we have seen him beaten. We need Floyd at 147, he will dominate boxing for the next two years until his skill will start to decline.
