I believe his again back to his old ways, found a steroid undetectable at the moment. I Just think it just doesn't add up. He looked like the terminator at that fight not the other way around. He made Margarito look weak. It's steroids I tell, to pumped for a 37 year old. I won't discredit him if he had that reputation of being a strong guy but his not that strong. Why only now Geez, I can see Pacman fighting margarito coz he can out skill and out speed margarito, but mosley geez I fear for pacmans life he looked unstoppable. Obviously theirs some kind of performance enhance drugs just thankful Delahoya didn't use any of those during their fight. Those who are skeptics, look at the weigh-in pix, Mosley look like his in his prime. Geez something fishy going on here. Just don't want Pacman fighting him. But what will happen to pac after he defeats hatton? Mayweather just talked and said he doesn't want to fight no more and is passing the torch to pac and marga. Then who's next for pac after hatton? Mosley NO freekn' way!!!! Pac should knock-out Hatton earlier than when mayweather knocked out hatton so he can call out may and a have the fight, but if pac goes for the ud, I don't think mayweather will come out. He will just say, "look I destroyed hatton Pac can only u.d. him" why should i fight him. So that is the dilemma guys... Who's next after hatton logical one is marquez but, for me marquez is 50/50 bout. Their like fire and ice they cancel each other out. And it just doesn't make pacman that great fighting him. I want mayweather to come out and pacman defeats him to close out his great career. I just hope pac can knock-out hatton early. So he can call out money may and stop his ranting for good!!!!
Well, Hopkins looked pretty damn good against Taylor in the first fight; he looked pretty good in the Calzaghe fight; and he put on a shut-out in the Pavlik fight. Hopkins is now 44. I'd bet the house that Hopkins isn't on the source. I'd also lay far lighter odds that Mosley was probably not dopping during preparation for the Margarito fight. Just like Forrest had Mosley's style nailed from the amateurs up through the pros, styles make fights.
Margarito is a plodding fighter that takes a lot of punches to land a few of his own. He was tailor made for Mosley, who is faster, more athletic and hits hard. Margarito barely landed on Shane in that fight.
I think you left out the fact that Margarito's gloves were padded prior to the fight. Who really knows how often he was doing that?
What does surprise me is the fact that Cotto hit him with everything but the kitchen sink and he didn't seem to be remotely bothered by Cotto's consistent barrages. But just like the engine that said it could and did make it up the hill, the struggle and damage resulting from the effort and toll it takes on the machinery will eventually lead to its ultimate demise. The same can be said of Margarito. It could have been that Cotto did enough damage to Margarito in that fight that his body finally said enough is enough. That, coupled with the illegal glove padding, may have lead to what you saw in the Mosley fight.
I do think, however, that some of your observations definitely make me a bit more suspicious. For every new ban on an P.E.D., there are twenty more on the black-market manufactured by some group of German Pharmaceutical Scientists. Lets not forget that Mosley has been on the source before. He was connected with that whole BALCO fiasco in 2003, and it's possible he found a new source.
To be honest, this really never entered my mind, but now that you mention it, I'm becoming a bit more suspicious. I would HOPE that this, of course, is not the case and Mosley accomplished this by hard work without P.E.D.'s assisting him.
If he walks through Cotto in a rematch like he did against Margarito, then I would definitely say that something is going on and be fairly convinced that you were right.
Having used steroids myself at various points of my life, I'm always a bit more suspicious than most.
