With the recent “retirement” of pound for pound best Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. there has been a lot of discussion regarding who’s the best in the welterweight division. Antonio Margarito’s TKO of then universally recognized welterweight best Miguel Cotto has elevated him to many of boxing scribs top slot in the division.
So what would happen if and when the Pretty Boy comes back to claim his throne against the dangerous Tijuana Tornado? It would surely be the biggest challenge of both fighter’s careers to date. It will be a fight that will have boxing purest and mainstream fans salivating in anticipation. It will surely be one that lives up to the hype. Margarito will take Mayweather Jr. places he’s never been before. He will bring out the very best of the Pretty Boy.
Unfortunately all the Tijuana Tornado’s efforts will fall short as he losses a spectacular unanimous decision before a packed sellout crowd to the Pretty Boy. Records and past opponents will be thrown out the door. They don't matter at this point in these great fighter's respective careers. Although Mayweather Jr. has clearly faced a higher level of opposition throughout his career [winning his first world title over a very solid Genaro Hernandez in his eighteen fight ’98 and "exiting" the ring with a devasting knockout over Ricky “Hitman” Hatton]. Until recently any comparison would not even be worth mention.
While this will surely be an epic bout Mayweather Jr. outpoints the pressure fighter with a near impregnable defense, pin point counter punching, and effective ring generalship. Margarito will have no shame in the loss but will cleanly be outclassed, outskilled, all the while searching for answers to Mayweather Jr. blinding speed.
Margarito is a savage in the gym and ring guaranteeing constant applied pressure. Nevertheless Mayweather Jr. is second to none with a work ethic likened to the greats such as Marvin Hagler, “Schoolboy” Bobby Chacon, and Roberto Duran. He will not tire nor waver tattooing the Tornado’s titanium chin, slipping punches and absorbing the punishment that finds its mark.
Mayweather wins 116-112 115-112 115-113 across the board.
