For sure, definitely more interesting in the way that Margarito was much taller, longer, stronger, and hit much harder. But skill wise, I don't see a whole lot to differentiate the two. Margarito didn't have one-punch KO power, he wore guys out by landing volume, and he just wasn't going to land volume on Floyd.

He didn't have the footwork like Hatton or the cleverness of Castillo to get in and pin Floyd IMO. Marg was a punch for punch guy, matching guys with punches, and that's just not going to get it done vs Floyd. Also, Marg was a notoriously slow starter. He had all the ingredients needed to get blown out by Mayweather or any other fast-moving slickster. A guy like Cory Spinks would have made a fool out of Margarito. Bob Arum knew what Marg could and couldn't do and matched him up accordingly IMO.
