Yeah 1 fight that he won by sensational KO and was a mile ahead on points anyway. I dont think he has a point .

in favor of Shane, and IMO 107-102 is pretty ludicrous

Infact i haven't been impressed with Shane Mosley in quite awhile, were not even sure how good Antonio Margarito is without the handwraps.
Even against Luis Collazo he was losing until Luis Collazo broke his hand, which changed the momentum of the fight. I just think people are overrating Shane Mosley lately, i don't think he's been at his best since 2001. |

That's pretty good going.

But what made him more devastating was his supposedly thudding power, but when he didn't have the handwraps where was all that thudding power ? |

Margarito is made for shane mosley. he doesnt have good skill he couldnt even clinch when he was hurt he has 0 defense. he basically was a punching bag. but it was a good win.

Which was his best weapon, and i thought he was winning the fight up until that point. That clearly had an effect on the fight. |

It's been a while since I've seen the fight, but I believe that I had the fighters splitting the first two rounds. After that, Mosley dominated. |
