~ SSM vs. Margartio ~ Let's talk here!

[Deanrw]

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

Gotta give Brother Nasim his due. His sons were great amateur boxers, he had BHop ready for Pavlik and now Shane. Who's next on the menu?

I personally would love to see Floyd vs Shane.

Anyone watching this on Setanta in the UK?

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!

He always gives me a good laugh. What was he saying?

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!

Classy Margarito, not making any excuses. That is far too rare these days.

Yes, indeed. In fact I like Margo (I don’t want to get wrong by his fans), I just like SSM more. Maybe I’m to nostalgic.

[JT Rock]

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 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 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..

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.

[Spicoli]

Fawk u Lampley....you discredit BOTH with that speculative soap opera drama shit....clown boy!!! Congrats Shane Mosley,well done!Do not hate on Margarito fellas,It is what it was.

I don't think so he's been exposed as a cheater end of, his punches had no where near the effect they normally had. I think its perfectly reasonable to call him a cheater and question all his other victories.

Shane Mosley himself has some controversy regarding steroid issues, so he isn't squeaky clean himself. But atleast he don't put illegal substance in his gloves that can ruin a fighter for the rest of his life.

Im no big Miguel Cotto fan so anyone using that excuse can stick it where the sun don't shine. I was rooting for Antonio Margarito and i liked him as a fighter, but after hearing that my estimation of him has gone way down.

Because........why An opposing corner stated/asserted it much and a network glory boy stated it as conclusive fact and a for gone conclusion ?Seriously ICB?Punches tend to have little effect if they are not landing.....Tony blew it.....Mosley earned and took it.

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.

I know your a Antonio Margarito fan but face it he got caught, even the commision stated that the corner man was indeed correct. He got caught end of i was a fan but i am no longer anymore a fan.

Thats a disgraceful act and that shows you he will do anything to win, not caring if he hurts/ruins a fighters career for the rest of there life.

As I said on Boxrec, never judge a Fighter by one Fight, plus Moseley has big balls.

[JT Rock]

Yea Berto and Mosely would be a great matchup just to see the lightning handspeed display... I think thats probably going to be the next fight for the 2 seems like the most logical..

alot will depend on mayweather and if he stays retired as well as the outcome of Hatton/Pac

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 ?

[Scrap]

I mean he can tougth it. He went out there as I expected to put doubts in Margarito and did. End of the 7th He wanted to go Home.

[No Contest]

He has been for awhile, just because the Cotto close decision people wrote him off. Thats why these lists are meaningless to me.

you have to take Marg out, but I dont know if you bump everyone up and give him the last spot, or give him margo's
