After the Mayorga fight, I was expecting Shane to have nothing this fight. I thought he was just looking for one last payday.
I was wrong!hehe

I think a Shane/Cotto rematch is bigger than a Margo/Cotto.. I think Shane can be outboxed though.. Williams would be a nightmare and Mayweather would use defense, counter punching and footwork to beat him..
I would love nothing more than to see Shane fight Pac and beat the ever living piss out of him..
Shane is just a special fighter who put on a virtuoso performance.. I called it it in my prefight prediction that I felt he would do something special tonite and he had the power and size to slow down Tony and make the fight go at his pace..
I like Tony alot and dont wanna jumpship, but that handwrapping thing raises an eyebrow for me.. Im not going to take it to the enth degree like a Cotto disciple but it makes me look at him differently..I have come to enjoy Margarito this past year and he is one of my top 5 fighters. I get this nawing feeling that Shane is going to do something special tonite.
He has a 1in advantage in reach over Marg and will probably be the heavier of the 2 come the fight.. Shane looked in absolute spectacular shape, not drained, not tired looking.
Mosely can take a shot just as good as Margo and like I mentioned already, Shane seems to have this invisible armor that he wears in the ring, I just see him able to absorb margo's shots, counter with sharp- stiff punches that Slow Tony down enough for Shane to work at his own pace. I see Tony being dropped and losing a SD.
Shane has shown time and again that he does have 1 punch power as well as accumulative.. Mosely is more durable than Cotto and wont wilt, he'll stand his own just fine.
I just feel that Tony cant keep up that volume and take shots his whole career, that chins going to start showing some dents, and a guy like Mosely can certainly leave his mark
I just worry about the Flack Tony will catch if he loses![]()

I've always been a Shane Mosley fan and if anyone don't believe me, i'll pull out a thread from over a year ago. I just didn't think he had anything left after the Ricardo Mayorga fight where he didn't look too good IMO.
But he proved me wrong and im glad i am very disappointed in Antonio Margarito. And that is a black eye for the sport but well done Shane Mosley, he looked like a young fighter again.
And i would love to see Shane Mosley fight Pacquiao, Hatton, Cotto, Williams, Mayweather, Berto, any of these fights are mouth watering.
As I said on Boxrec, never judge a Fighter by one Fight, plus Moseley has big balls.
Pain lasts a only a minute, but the memory will last forever....

I think Shane Mosley has a bit too much experience and is a bit too clever, for Andre Berto at the moment i think Andre Berto would need a few more fights.
Before he's ready but i still wouldn't mind seeing it as you said the handspeed display, would be frigging amazing and both guys aren't afraid to come forward.
The thing that worries me is that i actually underrated Shane Mosley's power at Welterweight. And he hits harder than i remembered, and if he catches Andre Berto coming in with one of those hard counter shots, i think its good night Andre Berto.
But Andre Berto also has a high output and never stops from 1-12 rounds. It would be an awesome fight but at this point i think Shane Mosley is a bit much for Andre Berto.
Is Shane Mosley now a top 10 P4P fighter ?
"I take good care of my people. I like to inflict permanent psychological damage."
I think Floyd is the guy who avoids people not Shane
I can see alot of threads on this board that are negative about Tony but non congratulating Shane on an amazing achievement
Its not often a fighter can move down in weight and win a world title. Cant believe he had the power to do that after Cintrons shots bounced off Tony .
Mosley is one of the top 5 p4p fighters now.
Yeah. Props to both fighters for taking the fight and even more respect to Shane for being the better man tonight.
He definitely deserves top 5 credit. He lost a close fight to Cotto that he was coming on strong in toward the end and has won all his fights since regardless of his performances - good or bad.
Tonight's performance was ridiculous. He fought masterfully. I would love to see him fight Cotto again, or even Berto. I think Williams doesn't belong in this division and should stay at middle or move up to lightheavy -![]()
How High would you guys rate Shane Mosley now that he has completly desroyted Margarito i mean that has to be the best showing in a while.
