The result should have been a TKO

So Margarito wasn't weigh-drained at 147 but he was at 150?

Margarito was only on a 3 fight winning streak, probably aided by having concrete hands

Margarito had shipped plenty of punishment in the fights with Williams, Cintron and Cotto prior to the Mosley fight.


If i remember correctly, Mosley got a lot of kudos for what he did to Margarito. So should Pacquiao.

A very good reply. The 1st good reply i've had in a while. Nice one.

First off I'd say shoulda woulda coulda. Pac still didn't put him down and out.

A good point about the weight but you do have to take into account there was a good couple of years gap between mosley and pac. If Marg was comfortable at 147 the fight would have been made at 147. (although that would have scuppered pacs 8 weight division fantasy) the fact that marg went up to the 154 divison says to me that 154 was a comfortable strong weight for him.

Yeah he'd taken punishment in those fights but he'd taken that punishment plus a hammering off mosley before pac got to him.


Yes shane did get loads of props, but IMO it was different circumstances and he put marg down. No one had dominated Marg quite like that before.
