    Good points...After the Cotto loss many were dismissing Shane as done, a once P4P elite fighter that still has enough to beat most but will fall short against the elite....Then he destroys Margarito...(Lets be honest Handwraps or not on an Offensive standpoint no one ever beat up Margarito like that)....There is that chance as it is with every great fighter that Mosley just had that one last big Hurahh in him....For the true fans or older ones (I say that because I hate to give away my age lol)...Remember Duran Vs Moore.....Duran was considered shot but then he came back in that fight and was brilliant...

    Shane is at the boarderline age of just past it due to Father time and nothing more...So anything is possible...Not saying Shane is done or through by anymeans just in speculation...

    Not everyone can be a Hopkins and still be a P4P fighter at 45

    I think the Margarito win could be misleading too, true no one ever beat Antonio like that before, but he had been pounded on previously leading into that fight by Cotto & Cintron who both landed their share of bombs!

    Prior to the Margarito fight Shane looked very ordinary vs Mayorga & I feel that all the punchers may have caught up with Margarito who was always very hittable.

    Berto's going to be a handful no doubt

    Despite my thinking Berto has a dodgey chin, I think his handspeed and defense could give Shane some trouble, but he doesn't have the style to beat Shane.

    To beat Shane Mosley you need to fight tall, use distance, negate his angles, and tie him up or use tight defense to block his combinations.
