    I use to be a Margarito fan before the plaster loading incident. But in all honesty, I did think he looked weight drained. But it does not matter because that is one of the factors in this sport. Cutting weight properly and choose the proper weight to perform at. And I think for Margarito to be effective significantly he needs to be the bigger guy. 154 or higher would make him out to be an above average journeyman. Technically, he is very flawed.

    Funny that. I use to be a Mosley fan until he admitted injecting drugs into his blood stream.

Margarito was drained all right.....as soon as lost that two pounds of plaster nails and whatever the hell else he stuffed in those gloves. This freakin guy cheated, got his ass beat, Ko'ed etc.....i doubt anyone wants to hear about his training problems. He looked pretty damn spiffy hoppin down to the ring before hand

    Speed kills. The protagonists, Moseley representing speed, and Margarito for slowness, operated on two different speeds. The "slower" got hit a lot more. The "faster" (knowing how to maximize the use of that speed advantage) got to hit more.

    Same scenario in absorbing damages. Faster- less damage, slower -more damage, because of the same reason. Speed.

    Eventually, the one getting more damaged... became less performing thereby breaking down and predictably, losing before the end. Knocked Out!

    The weight drained issue... has no legs, it needs crutches!

    weight drained or not.. he got sparked.

    see, boxing is business. you know what fight you sign up for. you know what to do to prepare for a fight. if you trained properly(what you should do), you wont have a problem making weight. its not shanes fault if tony was weight drained. mosley had his own camp. he had his own issues to deal with and he still prepared for the fight. he came in 100% and tony didnt. he had the right fight plan and he executed it well. why take away somebody's credit for winning by saying his opponent was weight drained. same thing with pac.. they kept saying that odlh was weight drained or wutever. thats not pac's fault. surely, its not mosely's fault tony drained himself.

    Mosley was in extreme shape and fought the fight of his life. Hardly any boxer can do that to margarito.

    Totally agree, Mosley saw this fight as his last chance at the big fights. If he lost then his chances of winning a championship again would have gone and his purses for fights would have dropped significantley. The Mosley team obviousley done there homework from Maragritos fight with Cotto and and picked up on his weaknesses. Mosley faught the perfect fight and Margarito had no back up plan to answer with.
    Mosley has grown up sparring Mexicans with the same come forward style as Maragrito and is comfortable fighting that way where as Cotto wasnt.

    Well then you may as well turn your back on most athletes, not just Mosely, because most at the elite level are on some kind of performance enhancers. Rarely legal.

    Too much money at stake at the elite level. They take any advantage you can get to stay on top.

    Disagree strongly, you are deminishing the hard work of clean fighters and you do not have to cheat to stay a head.
