I bet this Margarito would have given Mosley fits too and would have taken rounds against Mayweather on sheer activity.

Otherwise Pac hasn't been taking all that much wear and tear in the higher weights. Cotto for a few rounds, a couple of Clottey uppercuts and a now a Margarito who just wouldn't quit. For me it shows Pac can take it and there are only a couple of dozen rounds to go tops. He can handle it.
Totally agree with that statement, in the kind of shape Margo was in for that fight and his complete focus being on it, he would have made it all the way to the end against Shane, and if Shane would have worn out then Margo would have done the damage some of us thought he was going to do.
