Margarito is slow and that lack of speed makes him incredibly easy to hit. And Mayweather is the fastest fighter on the planet. Bad combination.
True,he is slow but who was the fighter that gave Floyd the most problems? One of the ones with pretty slow handspeed in JLC. Margarito cuts the ring off well,has an ok jab,throws punches in bunches and can murder someone to the body(see the fight with Santos,he HAMMERED that 170 plus pound guy to the body and ROPPED him in round 3 or 4 but it was not called!!!!!).

His chin is strong enough to take Floyd's best and Margarito is awesome when he gets a fighter to the ropes,I mean he works head and body brilliantly(see the Cintron,Lujan,6 heads etc fights) and Floyd does like to go to the ropes. Margarito can also mix it up well on the inside,and for once,he looping right hand could be a very very good thing because both Jesus Chavez and Corley landed on Floyd with looping rights.Corley actually buzzed him with that punch.

I'm not saying Tony would win but his style would give Floyd troubles he has not faced before. Tony will get hit but I also believe his non stop punching and stamina will give him moments in the fight too and although he's not a massive puncher,he certainly has good power in both hands. He would work Floyd to the body better than anyone else too. It would be a great fight.
