    Granted, Floyd beats Tony in a marathon over the course of 12 rounds. But was'nt Cotto suppose to do the same? Regardless, just for the sake of argument lets say Tony destroyed Floyd would that make him the best P4P? Would that create an imprint in boxing history?

    Thoughts?

    Im not sure to be honest it all depends on how you rate fighters if we look at this way if Antonio Margarito beat Floyd Mayweather Jr then he has the two best wins in current boxing so far beating a top 5 P4P fighter in Miguel Cotto then the P4P number 1 fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr..............

    But if you look at P4P rankings going by there whole career then im not sure if Antonio Margarito would deserve P4P number 1 but he certainly would be up there like i said it all depends on how you look at it but i am very happy that Antonio Margarito is getting the recognition he deserves i have been following Antonio Margarito since his fight with Sergio Gabriel Martinez back in 2000.

    See thats the thing, I look at yahoo sports' P4P ratings and I expect them to be updated sometime ealry this week and I can almost guarantee that Toni's name wont break the top 10. I know he had this ealry losses but he did just beat a top 5 guy and if he did manage a PBF victory he needs to be recognized as a P4P contender (personally I think they should realize he is one now) regardless of record or way that he gets the win, cuz in the end the point is to have your arm raised.

    Well to be honest the only real loss i consider on Antonio Margarito's record is against Paul Williams and even that was close the other loss to Daniel Santos was a gift decision for Daniel Santos and his other losses was when he was a teenager so for me he for certain needs to avenge his only real defeat to Paul Williams in my eyes.

    IF he beat Floyd it would be more shocking than Douglas/Tyson; to me anyways. Personally, if Tony beat Floyd, it would be the greatest victory for any fighter I've ever been a fan of; though I do like watching Floyd fight and am a fan.

    As for p4p best, I would think he would still need to avenge that Williams loss to stay any doubters.
