No way friend.Are we to judge Oscar as of late?Look,the man is on the other side of it.I can not see him standing with Margarito and he is not faster consistently of hand right now than Cotto.I don't think Oscar wanted any part of Margarito but rest assured that if Cotto would have won....that fight would have happened.Oscar is cashing out now in Manny farce...he knows the deal!Call it risk/reward ratio but I call it Margarito takes Oscar in a grueling fight.

And how does Tony not do Durability well??When have you seen him fade down the stretch as opposed to getting stronger and coming on.

Mosley has a chance.But I do not think it is in his mindset to to back off and totally box it out now He wants to fight in there when he is hit.And I'm not even sure it is still his 'option' to be on the quick foot all night ?To win,he will have to step inside, and hurt Tony,head/body....rinse-repeat.Lesson learned from Cotto fight Imo.

Are you kidding me, I don't think Oscar is any indication of what would happen with Margarito, but he is considerably faster than Cotto, he is on a totally different level in handspeed and especially in foot speed. What Margarito against Santos, he doesn't deal with body shots well, the most obvious situation I've seen him floored is by a body shot. Margarito has a great chin nobody is denying that, but Mosley minus one moment is completely indestructible, he took the same shots from Cotto that Margarito did, and took them just as well. My question is when have you seen Margarito in against a guy like Winky WRight or Vernon Forest? I say they both badly outbox Margarito. Obviously I think if Mosley tries to outfight Margarito which is likely to happen he will lose, but if he uses a modicum of footwork, I think Antonio will have big problems. Cotto can't move well, when he use moves around the ring he doesn't move fluidly, but as some have noticed Margarito follows you, he doesn't cut off the ring at all. If he can consistently have Mosley against the ropes then he wins a UD, but if Mosley uses good lateral movement, comes in quick gets off a combinations, and then gets out, I think Shane wins.

You can't compare what happened against Shane when he fought Cotto, Wright, Forrest because they are all technically vastly superior to Margarito. Cotto is probably the least technically skilled out of the three and you all saw what he did to Margarito for six rounds, but even he won a close fihgt with Mosley, where Mosley's will was driving Cotto back by the end of it. Forrest and Winky beat a younger Mosley much easier. If Mosley instead of trying to beat Margarito up decides to throw a lot of punches ala Joe Calzaghe, I think Antonio will be fucked, otherwise Mosley gets badly dominated, his defense is his speed and reflexes and its hard to use those off the ropes.
