I fucking hate Steve Bunce. I honestly don't think I've ever heard anyone display such a lack of boxing knowledge and spout it as if its fucking gospel in my life. Sorry to rant guys, but I really hate that fat twat!

Just saying how this fight exposed Cotto as being a bully and not a good fighter and that Ricky Hatton always said give me Cotto and I'll expose him. Don't ever remember Ricky saying that and how was Cotto exposed as being a bully and not a good fighter by Tony?

Last week on his boxing hour he called Arreola a boring fighter.

A few weeks ago he said K9 Bundrage was a bum and Jamie Moore was much more deserving of a light-middleweight world title shot.

He also licks the sweat of every british fighters bollocks. Tonight he said Maccarinelli was the danger man in the Cruiser divsion and is the man to beat.

I find it hard to listen to as this man preaches his opinions as if they'e gospel. Fucking dick head!

Remember him saying this a few weeks back, what a load of shit, Hatton never, ever,evrr, ever, ever claimed that in public, and if he does then lets see it happen.

As for Shane, awesome. I don't think Marg was off at all, just that Shane had the style to beat him. He still took an inhuman amount of punishment, great chin but the worst defense in boxing.

As for the wraps, for the moment it's speculation. If we believed every single speculation then there'd be no one to cheer e.g. One of the most loved fighters of all time was known as the hands of stone, and his trainer had previous - easy to put 2 and 2 together and come up with anything you want, which is what the Cotto fans seem to be grasping to.

I never thought in a million years that the outcome of this fight would be Margarito on the canvas. I was thinking that if Margarito took all of those shots against Cotto, then he can take anything from Mosely. Mosely looked very nice last night, not letting Margarito bully him or get him in the ropes. I don't think Margarito was off, just that styles makes fights. Mosely, Cotto, and Margarito may be the new Ali, Foreman, Fraiser. Mosely's stamina has never been a question nor his speed, for me it was always his power but he certainly proved me wrong last night. I guess this opens up a lot of possible matchups, but I would like Cotto to fight Margarito again before Mosely. When Mayweather comes back, combined with Pacquiao, Berto, Williams, this division is stacked. Deffinitly the most exciting division in boxing. Mosely deserves alot of credit. Nice game plan!

The reports of Mosleys decline have been over exaggerated Lol.The man preformed in every facet as a true Champion last night.I had a sneaking suspicion that he would hurt and even drop Margarito but thought it would come earlier and Tony would be able to get going.It was not to be.Absolutely,unequivocally no excuses.....Mosley was the grindstone upon which Margarito was ground.He out Margaritod Margarito,took his best and fought a very smart fight from the outset.....he attacked Margarito as I thought he would have to,he established himself and asserted his strengths in close,tied Tony up and had a homing beacon on that right hand,just amazing and as a boxing fan firstly and an individual fighter fan second...a big difference...it was a pleasure to watch.

Tony my man,live by the sword,die by the sword.Ive been following you from back in the day.From the Ankamah decapitation to last night.You have Always taking a bit of flack from the detractors but have never faltered in your determination and ambition,even in the darkest of times you kept coming.Never pretended to be any thing that your not and maximized your given ability's.I'll look forward to seeing you back in the mix.Many will cast you aside now,call you a one hit wonder...Its tired and predictable,fawk em & that short sightedness.Ive nothing but respect for ya,head up,chest out,walk on.You were beaten by a great fighter,The night belonged to Mosley.

I have not been too active in the forum lately, but I had to comment on this one.

Mosley was sensational and I have to admit that I thought that he was not going to able to beat Margarito after seeing the troubles he had with Mayorga until his TKO win.

Different to Cotto, Mosley did not allow Margarito to press forward and did not allow Margarito to trap him on the ropes. Whenever Margarito tried to push Mosley, he (Mosley) stopped and responded with solid punches. Mosley made Margarito walk back, and hold smartly. Since Mosley was firm on his foot he could transfer the weight of his body to the punches, reaching the the body and head with true power punches. This was another area that Cotto could do better with Margarito because he punched a lot, but punching walking backwards I guess did not allow him to hurt Margarito as Mosley could and never looked for the body (his signature punch). Mosley was strong, fast and smart.

My respect to both, but specially to Mosley who showed up in a great condition at his age and not only won, but won by TKO.
