    I think it depends on the size of the ring and the ref. If PBF isn't allowed to hold and it's a smallish ring, Margarito gets to him. It wouldn't look like Baldo, cause Baldo doesn't have power, or throw that many punches. Margarito does. PBF would get manhandled if it's a small ring and Kenny Bayless refs like he did with Cotto. He was telling them no holding when they touched each other.

    PBF makes Margo look bad the first half, then gets worked over the second. Similar to Cotto, and Zab by Clottey. PBF will slip alot but those punches land on the arms and shoulders, and take their toll through the fight. Margarito is too big for PBF and his game plan is too break him down. If he is smart, he doesn't even throw punches at PBF's head. He aims for the center of his chest, and at his shoulders when throwing head shots. Body is right at the belt line. When PBF tries to hold he leans on him and pushes him against the ropes.

    If it's a large ring, and the ref lets PBF hold all bets are off.

    i think we can call this wishfull thinking. margo is so slow pbf would be 10 steps ahead of him plus we need to add pbf is a thinker in the ring setting up his opp to do what he wants them to do i dont think pbf will even need to hold margo and his stamina is much much greater then cottos so 12 rounds of sticking and moving no problem

    Floyd will not be on another episode of Dancing with the stars here.He undoubtedly is a superb ring technician and will find Margarito inviting but will be putting himself in range and have to stand his ground to keep Tony off.Margarito loves to get you on the ropes and is very adept at finding openings there.He can turn it into a track meet and look to pot shot Margarito but I can not see him escaping this one without catching some shots...be they to the body,the head,the chest...he will take some shots from the biggest,freshest, volume threat he has ever fought.On paper Mayweather is a favorite & can find many things to exploit and we all know his skill set merits respect and is top notch but to say he will have No problems is abit like whistling through the graveyard Imo.

    That's why I say if it's a small ring, and if the ref doesn't allow holding. PBF can't hurt Margarito to the head, so potshotting doesn't keep him off. There's no where to run in a small ring..... If PBF can go to Margaritos body and hurt him there, he can win, but sticking and moving ain't happening if theres no where to move....

    Magarito throws so many punches but Floyd would halve his punch out by using his footwork and holding when necessary Expect Floyd by decision.
