he deserves a payday and the chance to put oscars name on his record.

but in my opinion he beats oscar pretty nicely and over time when people forget it might be a nice addition to his record.. until then.. it doesnt mean a great deal.. doesnt prove anything for me.

Floyd - Tony on the other hand..

This is boxing, boxers earn a crust, they make a legacy and they dont want to loose ever..
If you ask me.. if floyd takes the fight.. he is more then capable of outboxing antonio margarito and he puts on a masterclass that generates hate but he earns his money another name on his record and remains undefeated..

And at the end of the day.. for me..

If floyd takes a fight with tony.. its a dangerous fight.. dangerous man..
and he comes out with the win.. no matter how he does it or how aesthetically pleasing it is.. then more power to him because it still makes him undefeatable.. disregard entertainment value.. its still skill.

Thoughts?
If Floyd fought Margarito it would be a carbon copy of what he did against Baldomir. Baldomir doesn't hit as hard, but that's really irrelevant when you can't hit at all. Margarito would get frustrated just the same because he'd be pot-shotted all night and made to look clumsy as Mayweather got away again and again. And after he won people would complain because Floyd didn't stand and trade, which is a completely dumb argument. You adjust your fight plan to your opponent and if putting on a defensive masterpiece is what would get you a W then more power to you.
