    This is a performance that is often overlooked due to the handwrap scandal. Yes there are questions surrounding Margaritos previous fights and maybe his mindset going in but what a display of speed and power. He destroyed and knocked senseless a guy with ATG chin. It was a beautiful performance. Mosley was a beast that night.

    It's similar to Hopkins - Pavlik.

    Margarito is flat footed, and comes forward in straight lines.
    Margarito banks on wearing fighters down, he's not a 1 shot KO artist.
    Any chin can be cracked.

    Shane Mosley could still bang.
    Shan was alot stronger physically than Cotto, and could use his muscle to manover Margarito around the ring.
    Shane had personal problems, and the perfect stage to express his anger.
    Mosley tied Margarito up, giving him no space with which to garner forward momentum.
    Crucially, he hit Margarito to the body, and hard, something Cotto did not do.

    Thinking about the fight, Shane was the obvious winner.

    Was Shane getting divorced around that time?

    He fought like a man possessed (no roids)

    Yup and apparently he was furious when he found out that HBO had announced it live on air.

    Floyd testes Mosley for EPO, Steroids, HGH and all PEDs before they fought.

    Mosley didnt use PEDs for the Cotto fight, so he can land a fight with Margarito later on and use PEDs against Margo.

    Mosley is a cheater and a lyar.

    You're just mad cos you're Mexican. Roids didn't make Shane though those punches. Face it Margarito's a simple one two guy. Against any great offensive fighter he gets dominated.
