Just watching some Mayweather Gifs and I must say Margarito NEVER beats him!

[GAME]

The one where he was against the ropes vs NDou was the most impressive

What I will say though is its one thing doing it to a washed up De La Hoya and Baldimor and quite another doing it to a prime punching machine like Margarito .

Very true but I think the Delahoya that fought Floyd that night was as good as Margarito! He threw tons of punches but is faster and arguably hit's harder than Tony.

I'd have to disagree there . De La Hoya ran out of gas after 6 and thats when Floyd took over . Margarito actually increases his workrate as the fight goes on so Mayweather would never be given any room or time .

Gotta agree with Game. The Elusiveness against Ndou was more impressive than Oscar and Baldomir. Oscar has obviously lost some speed and accuracy from his prime and Baldomir could only hit a stationary target. Either way, Floyd reminds me of that one scene in Spiderman where Peter Parker first gets his spider sense and dodges the numerous punches thrown by the school bully.

OoOooO! That's quite a stretch to say that the version of Oscar Floyd fought could be compared to Margarito. Oscar started the fight coming forward but eventually started backing off a bit once he got tagged. Margarito would not once back up from Floyd. Power-wise, I think Margarito would do more damage to Floyd if he landed some shots. And Game also mentioned the stamina. Oscar fades, Margarito gets stronger.

Its all about styles just because Antonio Margaruto defeated Miguel Cotto doesn't mean he has a better chance than he did before Antonio Margarito is still too slow in footspeed and handspeed and throws his punches too wide to beat someone like Floyd Mayweather and i still think Miguel Cotto gives Floyd Mayweather his toughest fight out of all the Welterweights.

It's a fight I'd still love to see.

I think Mayweather would win a UD against Margarito. Cotto exposed Margarito in the first half of their fight and Floyd is a much all round better fighter than Cotto.

[Bomp]

Mayweather could easily take a UD if he stayed centre ring, but he's not been doing it recently. Still favour him slightly with back on the ropes, but I feel Marg will be more effective than those guys in that position, particularly when he throws four/five consecutive lefts as Floyd likes to shift from side to side when defending those combinations (+ Marg does damage hitting arms/shoulders, whatever gets in the way of his punches.).

Saying that, I wouldn't bet against Floyd making the necessary adjustments.

Exactly very well said. Styles make fights that why Floyd is great he adapts to styles. Margo would be too slow... Cotto would give my boy Floyd a tough fight.

If Toni gets off 100 punches a round then I fancy his chances.



Cotto did show vs Margarito that he can box very well....I think vs Floyd he'd do very well.
