You really need to learn a few things about boxing. Mayorga kept Forrest on the defensive, out of his rhythm, and Forrests style played in to Mayorga's hands. I never said it was Mayorga's nonexistant skill level that allowed him to avoid the KO blow. There are plenty of times Ricky Hatton never takes a flush shot and it's not because of his defense. It's because he keeps people on their heels with workrate, angles, etc, and that's what Mayorga did to Forrest. Forrest didn't control the fight with this jab and superior reach in the Mayorga fights the way he did against Shane. I think that's called "ring generalship." Different matchups, different styles. Forrest was able to do that to Shane because he a stylistic nightmare for Mosley. Against Mayorga, Forrest couldn't control him with the jab and he couldn't cope with Mayorga's unorthodox style.

Like I said before, you beat Shane with a jab... controlling distance and disrupting his keeping him out of his rhythm, disrupting his rhythm. Shane slids and steps in, you calmly put a jab in his eye and set up your own attack. If you run in wildly, trying to overwhelm him, you allow him to sidestep and counter you with fast combinations. Sure, he may eat a shot while dishing out a three punch combo, but he'll land three times to your one. Mayorga doesn't have the ability to cut off the ring and make his aggression effectively against Mosley. It's going to look a lot like Mosley against Vargas, maybe not as decisive, but that's going to be the end result. Mosley UD or stoppage 10+.

Go ahead and get in your last word, ross, it will just prove how little you know about this sport. This fight isn't even up for debate. You minimize Shane performance against Cotto by calling Margarito limited. Yeah, well George Foreman was limited, too, and he beat Joe Frazier. That doesn't take anything away from Frazier. You just don't understand how these thing work this work.

Oh, let me guess, you'll come up with stupid one liner and put a smiley face up and declare your the winner. Tool. Care for a sig bet?
