Boxing Fans Margarito vs. Mayweather Who Wins & Why?

Question

Boxing Fans Margarito vs. Mayweather Who Wins & Why? Im not a Mayweather Fan but I think he has far more skill and than both Cotto and Margarito. The biggest difference I see is ring smarts. Floyd Mayweather is far more intelligent in the ring than Margo and Cotto. With his speed which is second to none, his A+ defense and also power it would be extremely difficult for Antonio to hit him clean like he did Cotto. I do believe Floyd will come out of retirement and fight Antonio now. He has so much pride he wont just sit and allow fans to call him a coward. But Lets be real Floyd started fighting at 130LB and moved all the way up to Jr Middleweight to fight Oscar De La Hoya at 154. Anyone who can do that and maintain your speed, power and defense is a truly gifted fighter. Antonio would do the same thing Ricky Hatton & DeLa Hoya did. Try to Land a clean punch thru 12 rounds and miss all night. Margo is slower than De La Hoya. Floyd would Not KO Margo. But he'd give him boxing lessons!

Answer 1

If Margarito has the speed, he can take Mayweather.  The reason why Mayweather fights smart, because he knows his weakness, he has less pain tolerance like other black fighters ( what I mean is, black fighters have relatively less pain tolerance than any race of fighters in general), although there are exceptions, his keep dodging has given me an idea that he may not be able to take as many punches as hispanic fighters usually can take, so Mayweather is trained to dodge  punches.  He can't stand the pains.

If Margarito can break Mayweather's dodging rythems and work on his speed with precise punchings on Mayweather's body and rib case, the pain can kill Mayweather. Margarito can win by the knock out or TKO.

Answer 2

Cotto and Margarito would both rip Mayweather a new one and he knows it, that's why he dodged both of them!

Answer 3

Mayweather wins........Margarito Loses.

Answer 4

Floyd Mayweather Jr.  He can make pressure fighters land almost nothing per round.  Watch his fight with Diego Corrales to truly appreciate what he can do with a bigger slower man.  He knocked down Chico a bunch but I think he couldn't do that with Margarito.  But he would out point him and win by decision.  Floyd doesn't play the machismo game, he plays the I want to win the fight game. 1-2 to a decision victory.

Answer 5

Not even a close fight.  Margarito is just too big for that division, he is too strong and too aggressive. Mayweather wouldn't make it as long as Cotto did.

Mayweather has been dodging Cotto and Margarito, now after what Margarito did to Cotto? Its obvious Cotto or Margarito would take Mayweather apart which is why you will never see Mayweather fight them.

I hope Im wrong.

Answer 6

tony would run floyd over in 9. floys has never face someone liek tony . the amount of pressure and hard punches would not look good for floyd. floyd would not be able to hurt tony at all

Answer 7

Mayweather TKO in the 9th. PBF is the best P4P boxer ever. He has really never been hurt, why? Cause his defense is second to none. His speed makes Sugar Ray Robinson and Roy Jones Jr, look like they are in slow motion. Margarito has lost 5 fights, regardless of when they were he lost 5, point blank. He lost to a hack *** Paul Williams who is more of a journeyman than a real boxer. Margarito fought Cotto, who wasnt even in the same league as PBF. Floyd didn't "run" from Margarito, it was just he had no gain in fighting a guy with 4 losses at the time. The entire $8 million dollar so called contract to fight him was false and a lie. The speed of PBF always outweighs the power punchers, that is why Paul Williams, Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, etc... is a waste of PBF's time. They are fighters that simply dominate lesser opponents. Every fighter Floyd has fought, they were NOT the same afterwards. That is when everyone else comes through and fights the fighters floyd has fought. All you have to do it watch PBF and respect what he does, defense, speed, accuracy...all too much anyone can handle. Gatti said it best "He was just much faster than I thought he would be" Speed over power, anyday of the week. That is why your all time greats--Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, PBF are all speed guys, true boxers, not guys who sit and get hit and land 10-20 punches a round, that will never cut it in boxing.

Answer 8

maragarito by murder!!

Answer 9

I see your point, but one thing De La Hoya and Hatton weren't willing to do was to march straight forward taking punches regardless of what came their way. Cotto's hand speed isn't quite up there with Mayweathers, but boy does he pack a punch at 147. Mayweather would make Margo look like a clown if Margarito does what he did with Cotto, even if the punches don't hurt as much as the former champ's.

We already know Margarito has a chin made of stone, and that he knows he needs to start early with his flury of punches. But what he needs to work on is protecting his body better and to dramatically improve his landing percentage, even against a guy like Mayweather, it is possible. Mayweather does have power, but not the kind of power Cotto had to fend Margarito off throughout most of the fight. That's where the body shots come in.

Altogether it would make an exciting fight and I wouldn't mind chalking up another 50 bucks to watch these two fight, though I much rather see Cotto vs Margarito II. Those two are the definiton of what a warrior truly is.
