Like I said before, you beat Shane with a jab... controlling distance and disrupting his keeping him out of his rhythm, disrupting his rhythm.

You minimize Shane performance against Cotto by calling Margarito limited. Yeah, well George Foreman was limited, too, and he beat Joe Frazier.
So Mayorga has the ability to take people out of their rythm and when you take Shane out of his rythm you beat him.

Foreman was undefeated, Margaito had a bunch of losses and not just early ones, recent ones against Williams and Santos, he is limited to who he is able to beat but he managed to make Cotto quite like a bitch, Mosely couldnt.

I think Mayorga can fight harder than Shane can at their respective times of careers and Shane does take shots, with power and resiliance like Mayorga you dont want to try trading while your 37
Mosley won't stand in front of Mayorga. You don't get the concept that matchups make fights. You haven't given me a reason why Mayorga is tough matchup for Shane. I've given reasons why other fighters have been able to handle Shane. I could go on about Shane's resume but it would take too long. Mayorga's resume includes two wins over Forrest and that's it. You clearly think that because Mayorga beats Forrest, Forrest beats Mosley, Mayorga beats Shane. That's the only logical premise for your argument. Except is does work that way in boxing. Shane will box circles around Mayorga. He's much faster and far more skilled. Power and resilience of Mayorga? I remember him getting sparked rather easily by ODLH and he basically quit, totally demoralized because he realized he wasn't in the same league. He'll find out the same thing with Mosley. Mosley might not have the power to take out Mayorga like Oscar did, but he will frustrate and demoralize him. It's not even close.
