Current Mosley V Margarito

Hopefully the Poll worked. Who do you think wins and why.

Everytime a new man of the moment comes along, the debate begins about who could beat him. Read on some articles which suggest Shane is the guy to do it. IMO Margarito wears him down and stops him late (this version of Shane), SM looked desperately tired and there for the taking in the mid rounds against Cotto, and a more relentless approach may have finished the job.

Margarito can be outboxed, but IMO Shane isn't the guy to do it, he seems to be standing down on his punches a little more recentlky as his speed is leaving him, but power is the one way not to beat Marg.

I'm very defensive of my Shane, but he's well past his prime.

I think he could eke out a decision against Margarito, but it would end him.

I've always been a fan of Moseley, and feel the 2001 version would be able to decision Marg, but I doubt his competitiveness nowadays.

Its incredibly hard to really judge, my head says no way; Mosley would tire himself out trying to keep Margarito at bay, but my heart says he's been an underdog his entire career and he'll never be stopped.

It's what I'd be worried about, Mosely stopped, I'd like to see him finish his career on his feet.

I genuinely feel that Mosley will never be stopped by anyone south of 160.
I truely believe that

Doubt Mosley will be in a hurry to make this fight.

It seems a bit cruel for an old boy to face someone as fiercely relentless as Margarito. Would be a bad fight for Mosley at this stage.
He quits (corner stops him on the stool) late-ish.

Same.

I could say that this fight we would see Experience , speed , technical boxing and stronger vs younger and stronger with lot of Stamina , i really would like to go with Margaro , but IMO Mosley by his experience could handle in how to decrease Margaros Stamina through the fight........

When I say stopped Ireckon out of exhaustion rather than his chin giving up, can't get over how tired he looked at some points in the Cotto fight, and Tony wouldn'tm give him a breather.

That is true, but with his expierience and movement I think he could scrape by if he got in trouble.

We might see this fight.

Outta sheer blind faith, i voted Mosley.

Nice to see im with the majority :cool:

Shane wouldnt get stopped IMO Im pretty certain of that but keeping Tony off and doing enough to win is a big ask at this stage. Obvioulsy a 2001 Shane completely skools Tony in a mismatch but now they are much more evenly matched.

Shane Mosley has always been strong in the later rounds of a fight even against Miguel Cotto he swept the last 2 rounds........

But im really not sure about this fight Shane Mosley is a bit too much of warrior at times and he never has been a pure boxer he has always been boxer/puncher.........

Even in Shane Mosley's greatest performances he has never been able to sustain just boxing for the full 12 rounds...........

And theres also another problem Shane Mosley does get discouraged easily just look at his fights with Ronald "Winky" Wright and Vernon Forrest..........

And Antonio Margarito is possibly the most discouraging boxer to fight in current boxing i just can't see Shane Mosley winning this he doesn't hit as hard as Miguel Cotto and his speed as diminished and so has his footwork i see Shane Mosley getting stopped for the first time in his career late on.
