Isn't it possible that Margarito is ruined for good..

[JonesJrMayweather]

Oh! boy the return of JonesJrMayweather...
How exciting.

Did Taeth call you or did you show up on your own?

Suprised you haven't done a thread yourself saying "Mayweather would have killed Margarito"...


JonesJrMayweather, refresh my memory again what was that question you asked of Durans career?

Of duran? lol

"Name the great that made him great"

Ive come to terms with duran being an atg..but top 10 p4p. no.

And I said mayweather would beat tony long time ago. nothing stupid like he'd stop him. i believe i said 120-108. and floyd is retired. and this fight does show what i felt a long time ago. shane would beat floyd. any version of him. 154,147,140,135 shane wins. I think that was fours years ago when i said that.

but i see the forum has some new guys that just make you want to

Its hard to say. Cotto hit him with a lot of horrible shots but Mosley took the legs from beneath Margarito completely. Brutal as hell. Mosley was throwing with nasty intentions.

Margarito will be back, but I have a hard time seeing him recovering from this totally.

His invincibility cloak has now gone, plus he's been concentrating even less on defense last couple of years relying on his chin. Now that it has failed him It's going to be a huge uphill struggle to get back to where he was.

Very true. Now guys fighting him will know his chin isn't made of iron & he can be hurt or KO'd. I'm sure Shane thought he could win via decision, I wonder @ what point/round he thought: "Screw the decision, I'm hurting this guy & can knock this mofo out!"?

[OumaFan]

Sure. And if he has been softened up it will be rough for him as he has no way of fighting except war of attrition type fighting, he can't bullshit his way through a few rounds, a fight, etc.

BTW I don't think by any means Shane softened up Cotto, that's way overestimating the amount of damage he inflicted on Cotto.

[Fenster]

I didn't think he looked right from the start.. but don't want to take anything away from Mosley. Margarito's best fight would have still lost.

It's almost certain that the fight will have a lasting effect on him.. obvioulsy not in a good way.

Margarito is done as far as a top welterweight. It would have been one thing if Mosley had beat him on the cards, but not only did Mosley brutally knock Margarito out, he also established that by sticking to the blueprint of combination punching from distance, going to the body, and clinching, beats Margarito. Also, Margarito couldn't adjust. He saw what Mosley was doing, but he didn't know how to react.

It is doubtful Margarito beats Cotto next time around, but if he were to beat Cotto again, then it may be the case that Shane just has his number. Like Margarito has Cintron's.

Must be why cotto was running from shane in the latter part of the fight.

i think a fighter can only take so many punches before it starts to catch up with them and nobody takes more flush punches in a fight than margarito.
