    Margarito at that point was kinda shot too as he was no longer able to load his gloves with plaster. He went 3-3 with 0 KOs post plaster loading, starting with Shane. Yeah Mosley obliterated him but the win doesn’t hold much weight for me.

    After Margarito, Shane Mosley went 3 wins, 5 losses and a draw. I’d say he was shot if not before the Margarito fight certainly after.

    I’d still favor him over Berto, but not by much at that point.

    There was never ever any plaster found in Margarito's wraps
    Just minute traces of calcium & sulpher,which in much larger quantities, are ingredients of plaster But the amount found matches what would be in Human Sweat!!! as well as many other things. The CSAC fell for a blatant lie & then acted wildly suspending Margarito on the word of a LIAR!!!

    He really helped the division keep moving too, and made a lot of great fights.

    Berto always brought it, win or lose. Good handspeed and explosiveness with a lot of flaws. I respect him a lot.

    A nice recap of what he said:
    Mosley was clearly on PED´s against Margo. He looked amazing that night, but looked like **** in his two following fights.
    Mosley had to be clean vs Floyd because of the extra testing.
    However Floyd was on PED´s despite the extra testing.

    :lol: Yes, Shane chose to go Hulk vs Margarito but got scared by Floyd´s test demands.

    The argument is that Floyd was such an avid supporter of USADA because he paid them off. So he was allowed to juice and his opponents weren't. Floyd did get that TUE vs Pac, which was extremely sketchy.

    Never was a fan but he was fun to watch outside of clinching like crazy vs urango

    He got an easy belt and was accused of being protected by hbo but he really fought a lot of tough guys and would go out on his shield

    He was never elite but he was very tough, and very entertaining.
