Negoiations for Margarito vs Mosley in January begun today

Its a very tough ask but I dont think its to unlikely that Mosley could win a UD if hes smart and actually boxes enough rounds without throwing for the fences, then finishes strong. I see a stoppage either way as almost completely out of the question saving for cuts.

Mosley is gonna get destroyed in this fight, I think Margarito can actually stop him. My issue is that I think this would have been more competitive years ago, but Mosley's workrate is way too low nowadays to make this competitive.

I like Mosley, but this is a bad career move IMO, I at least hope he gets compensated well.

I agree completely. If this fight takes place I'll be amazed if Mosley hears the final bell, let alone is competitive.

Well i think that Mosley can out point him to tell you truth. His head wide open to take shots no way is Shane getting stopped. Come people it Shane Mosley he has been put down once in his career and besides that i never seen Shane really hurt. I doubt that Margrito hits harder then Moyorga or Oscar and Shane chin makes Cotto look like glass. Well for me even at 37 i while give Shane Mosley a shot to outpoint Margrito who knows been alot of upsets latly hope this it one of them.

Never seen Shane Mosley really hurt ? he was down twice and almost KO'ed by Vernon Forrest in there first fight, plus he got a beating to the body and he was doubling over. I can assure you Shane Mosley was very hurt against Vernon Forrest, he took a one sided whooping and some refs might of stopped the fight.

Alright let me ask you this think Margrito has the jab and boxing skills to hit Shane like Forrest did. Do you think he going to stop shane and i said the only time i seen him down was against forrest ice then i said besides that so why you say forrest when i already said it trying to get on my shit or somthing dude.

Its nothing to do with Antonio Margarito having Vernon Forrest's attributes, its due to Shane Mosley getting older. He struggled against Ricardo Mayorga, who most people believed Shane Mosley would blow away. And Shane Mosley often looked lazy at times, he won't have the workrate to keep up with Antonio Margarito, and will lose over 12 rounds, or get stopped late on.
