For those who say Floyd ducked Margarito...

[Deanrw]

He would bring a combination of considerable Height and Reach advantage, along with accuracy and more two fisted punching power than Floyd has ever faced. He is also as tough as nails.

Is that good enough?

He couldn't deal with Williams speed when Williams came in close so god knows how he'd deal with Floyd. Oscar had fast hands and decent power at 154 yet couldn't put a dent in Floyd. Margo can take a punch, but thats all that'll happen. he'll be taking punches on the way to a very wide 12 round UD. You can't hit what you can't see. He won't get anywhere near Floyd.

I never realized Floyd was invisible. Williams and Floyd are two very different dynamics. Two completely different styles. Williams can outwork anyone and throws 2-3X the amount of punches Floyd does. Since Margarito did get outpointed by Williams though, he would have to lose to Mayweather right?

I know they're different fighters, but I don't get what makes Margo qualified for the job. Tony doesn't have the speed to catch him and would spend the fight chasing a guy who has superior boxing skills.

I'm not a Floyd fan by the way, but I respect his skill.

I respect his skill also. I also know that Margarito has just enough height and reach that Mayweather will in his punching range more often than vise versa.

There was another thread in here with people saying that Mayweather should not fight Pavlik as he is just too big and powerful. I say Margarito could potentially offer up the same advantages as Pavlik does. He is a natural Welterweight and has a huge size and power advantage over Floyd. Would it be enough to beat Mayweather? I don't know. I do know that Mayweather has shown a preference to fight smaller guys for some reason.
