The former IBF, WBO, and WBA (super) welterweight titleholder Antonio Margarito recently joined FightHype.com and opened up on five-weight division champ Floyd Mayweather. Though he failed to take a shot against ‘The Pretty Boy’, he unveiled the strategy of seizing the undefeated champion.

The 44-year-old Mexican-American said, “That wasn’t even being talked about when a fight against Floyd Mayweather was heating up. So as a fighter, if you ask me, had I faced Floyd Mayweather, one would prepare his strategy away from the ring before the fight, so if you ask me.

“I would have hit him on the shoulders so that he could lower his hands & not run as much. You know he had his form of fighting.”

Furthermore, he responded to Mayweather’s accusations.

However, the glove-loading scandal messed it all up. He was caught red-handed in a fight against boxing stalwart Shane Mosley, with a plaster-like substance wrapped in his hand under the gloves in order to make knuckles harder.

Interestingly, he paid the cost. His license was seized that eventually ruined his career.
