Thread: Mosley doing something Cotto and Pacquiao never could

Considering how good Margarito's chin is, this was an amazing feat by Sugar Shane, it showed how good he was, and how styles make fights.

Ya cheers, I love this fight. It shows what a beast Mosley really was even with a style that was so suited for him. I can't think of a single pressure fighter you could pick to beat Mosley at welterweight; the man could be outboxed but outfighting him would've taken something really incredible and way beyond what Margarito was capable of. With hindsight it's not at all surprising he handled Tony like that, I'm inclined to think Margarito at his absolute best couldn't have even been competitive with Mosley in his current form. What possible gameplan do you give a guy like Margarito to fight someone who is just as tough as him, hits way harder, and has a ridiculous edge in speed and athletecism to boot.

To Cotto's credit, he has never used EPO. All natural and not facing a mindfucked Margarito who just got caught with loaded wraps minutes before the fight.


Watch Margarito making his way to the ring against Mosley... no swag, just fear and confusion in his eyes. He was ripe for the pickin.

There might be some truth to what you're saying, but I still believe most of the credit goes to Mosley and sorry, but the EPO reference is just a cheap shot.

Mosley likely on Da juice this nidgt.

Mosley is one of my favorite fighters... He fights all fighters but, there is that history with EPO use.

Margarito was discovered this fight he was in so much shock and emberasment he knew that his career was gonna end and that he's a nobody. So ofcourse mosley would finish him. Not taking anything away from Mosley just saying he did it that way for that reason, but in no way is he better. I mean just look at his fights with Cotto or pacman

That's insightful.

I dont care about wraps, I dont care about PED's, Mosley did something special that night and it was a joy to watch.

Whether Margarito has been offensively enhanced in the past is here nor there, he is and always has been a seriously tough nut to crack and Shane did it, it was hollywood script stuff.

Thank you Shane.

(Bilbo will approve of this post)

I don't know if this is just me, but a Mosley-Ortiz matchup seems pretty interesting right about now. Or how about Mosley-Judah? Shane is older, but he is a fun fighter to watch (long as he's not completely outclassed)

I'd like to believe that EPO had nothing to do with Mosley's annihilation of Margarito, who might not have been at his "best" that night, but Mosley should still get full credit for knocking him down and out.

Cotto and Pacquiao went something like a total of 30 rounds with Margo and never once had him off his feet.

The fight should have been stopped at the tenth round when Pac fought Marg.

Difference is Mosely had Margareto falling a round like a drunken sailor... Pac swelled his face up.

Ten years ago if you would have asked me who the last Guy in the sport of Boxing that would use EPD`s to gain Advantage in the ring,I would have said Shugar Shane Mosley....No Doubt..!...But after Shane showed up on the Balco list,and admitted to useing enhancement drugs as far as Iam concerned all of his fight`s are under question,no dfferent than Margorita,we dont know when Shane started or stopped cheatng,we only know when he got caught.

It raises an even bigger concern too - the guy never failed a drug test.
