albsur, great post... as always.

Agree on most of the points.

One random note regarding Mosley getting booed....

I was at Cotto-Mosley at MSG, and one thing I was proud of.... Mosley was booed at the beginning of his ringwalk and during the Buffer introduction because it was a huge Cotto crowd, but when he actually stepped up into the ring and waved his gloves to each side of the crowd, the crowd cheered him. It was like they were saying, "We're rooting for Cotto, but we recognize you're a great fighter." It was nice to see. Not sure if the Staples crowd did anything similar.
