Thread: Negoiations for Margarito vs Mosley in January begun today

According to this article, Golden Boy and Top Rank met today to put the fight together.

If it happens, even though I like Mosely, I don't give him much of a shot, especially after seeing how much trouble he had with Mayorga.

The article also says that there is a rumor that Casamayor is trying to break away from Golden Boy, so that he can try to get a fight with Barrera.

Man I know Margarito is trying to make money, and I respect that but the fight the people want to see is with Paul Williams. Hopefully he will fight him next year.

its a good fight, not the fight i was hopeing for but should still be entertaining. i say margarito by ud, i dont see him knocking shane out. but shane could win also.

I'd like a Margarito vs. Clottey rematch but This one sounds like it is growing roots and might just come off. Also convinced Williams will be moving up,writing on the wall! I like Margarito to win in a fight that may get rough for both.I think Mosley has not totally fallen off career wise but against awkward & physical Mayorga he really looked to bomb him out and not look for boxing.If he looks to out tough Margarito with 2 or 3 shots at a time,I see him lossing lopsided.

This will go badly for Mosley.

This is a fight that should have happened a few years ago. Mosley will lose easily

After Mosley's last performance, how can he actually think that he can go toe to toe with Margarito?

I really don't see it happening.

Mosley can go toe to toe with any of the welterweights, he struggles when he goes upto light middle and always has. I think he feels he has a good chance of doing what Cotto couldnt and box for the full 12 rounds without gasing. As much as I love Mosley though Margarito maybe too much for him at this stage in his career but then again Mosley has never been a fighter who ducks a challenge.

Interesting matchup actually,Margarito used to just keep throwing at the wall and hoping it would stick,but recently his work rate has come down.
But then again so has Mosley's
Its probably going to be a bomb festival that comes down to superior defense

I see Mosley starting off well and winning a few of the early rounds due to Margarito being a slow starter. But once Margarito gets going I see him pounding out a UD over Mosley.

I agree with what you're saying, I am a fan of Mosley's, but he didn't look his best against Mayorga, and Margarito is a whole different ballgame. I don't know if Mosley will be able to keep Margarito off of him for 12 rounds, and I know Mosley has a tough chin, but I think that chin, and his body is going to be severly tested. At his age, how well is he going to be able to withstand it, will be the question.

I think it will still be a very decent fight. Mosley had issues with a pretty pumped up Mayorga and still came away with the KO. 154 is not Mosleys weight at all. Margarito is a different fighter completely and it will be at 147. Styles make fights and I think this is an intriguing mix.

Negoiations ??!! Why ?? Mosley has no chance at beating margarito, heck i give pac a better shot at Ko'ing oscar..

Mosley would only be able to win this fight if he would box and run the whole fight. He definitely should not engage Margarito at all costs but the thing with Mosley is, he can't help trading. He loves to fight!
