The movement in the legs simply wasn't there against Mayorga, and its a tool he'll really need against a pressure puncher like Margarito.
You are not the only one who thinks Mosley is past it. Many people think this. And it is true. He is still competitive but Mosley can no longer outbox top competition and he no longer has that stretch in the championship rounds. His combos are not even there anymore. He throws one and then one two. His powerboxing is gone. Mosley will be a punished boxer against Margarito unless somehow he pulls the cat out of the bag one more time. And the best way to beat Margarito is to go to the body consistently. Maybe Mosley is working on this scheme.
I remember after the Mayorga fight on here, lots of people were looking through rose tinted glasses about the performance Mosley put on and couldn't believe anyone would score the fight Mayorga's way. So on that merit, I thought I'd receive a bit of a backlash for making that statment.
