It's like the 'Shane battered Margarito for the whole 9 rounds', when Margarito actually probably won the 5th round.
So just because Antonio Margarito, may have won one round. That makes it not a complete wipeout ? unless im reading that wrong ?

IMO Shane Mosley did totally dominate Antonio Margarito. He let his foot off the gas in one round, but again Antonio Margarito's punches were very ineffective.

He did batter Antonio Margarito for pretty much the whole fight, and even in the one debatable round. Shane Mosley still stung Antonio Margarito, and landed the much better punches.

I'll tell you a fight that was seriously overrated, to regards of another fighter suposedly dominating another fighter. And thats James Toney vs Michael Nunn.

Michael Nunn won the early rounds, but James Toney was coming on late. And he had won 3 rounds in a row, aswell as winning the 11th round. Before he even KO'ed Michael Nunn in the 11th round.

Everyone makes out it was some kind of lucky punch, from James Toney when it clearly wasn't. It was James Toney wearing him down late.
You don't half get worked up Ice

If Margarito won one round, that means Shane didn't dominate THE WHOLE 9 round. I'm a big Shane fan, but whilst it was a dominating performance, he did not dominate the whole fight. Read what I wrote and tell me what disputes that statement. Did I say 'Margarito won loads of rounds & it was a close fight'?

I'm not going to even bother with the Toney fight, because whilst I do think that Toney had been coming on, having a debate with you about Toney is like trying to headbutt a brick wall. I agree to an extent, but Nunn had still won probably 8 of the 10 preceding rounds.
Well thats why i did say "unless im reading that wrong". Im not getting worked up at all, i just wanted to know what you exactly meant. Which is fine you explained yourself and thats cool.

As for James Toney why do you think im biased, when it comes to James Toney ? just because in one thread where i said i thought he had all the attributes ?

Yes i do think he had all the attributes. Speed, Power, Defense, Chin, ETC. It's just sometimes he didn't take fights that seriously, which cost him at times.

But at his best he is a complete fighter, and yes i do truly believe that. But thats not to say i think he's unbeatable, he can be beat by movers and ETC.

And plus i do think he got some gifts, especially from Dave Tiberi. But he also did get shafted a few times himself aka Montel Griffin.

Lastly as for the Michael Nunn fight, i feel Michael Nunn threw alot of pitty patt punches. And James Toney was able to take risks late on, walkthrough those punches and come on late.

Its clear as day Michael Nunn was fading, because he had lost the 3 previous rounds. I think James Toney could of still pulled out a draw had it of gone the distance, i had him 6-4 down going into the 11th round.
