Agreed. Tony's no hoe. He'll come to fight for sure. But, he better pray for a clean shot that Floyd doesn't see, or he will get outpointed. People will hate that I say this, and will hack on me, but, I see Tony as an easy fight for Floyd. I'm more worried about an aging Oscar.
I know exactly why you guys don't believe in Tony.
You guys can't question his:
1) Power
2) Odd Angles
3) Toughness

You can't question that. He fights telefutura fighters, just like Floyd has (Brussels)... except he Knocks them out within seconds.

But the real reason you question Tony is because he hasn't proven if he can "cut-off" the ring. Cause if he can't do that, it can be an easy night for Floyd. It's a valid reason, I know, because Margarito hasn't been in with a slick boxer. But usually the slick boxers are on the A level, and those fighters happen to be millionairs who'd rather fight each other.

I for one believe in Margarito. Odd angles, intensity!!! How can I NOT be a fan of his?!?
I believe in Tony. And I think he can cut off the ring. The question is, when he gets tagged, and loses the first few rounds, and hasn't Kod Floyd, will he stick with his plan? Or will he get mad and follow Floyd around while getting hit? Like you said, he's never been in the ring with a boxer like Floyd, so you don't know his reaction. On the other hand, Floyd has been in with fighters like Tony. Maybe not as big, or as strong, but fighters like Tony are taylor-made for Floyd. Floyd beating Tony does not mean he is necissarily the better fighter, I think it is a style mismatch for Tony.
