    Richardson has tarnished his reputation as a fighter, which is what most of you think I'm implying when I say Richardson ruined him.

    That is part of the reason, but he also prepared Mosley superbly and came up with a flawless gameplan.

    Mosley pretty much already ruined him... He exposed him in so many ways.

    A lot of us thought margarito was a monster during his fight against cotto right?? Well what do you think of him now?

    Not just Mosley but Cintron, Williams, and Cotto. Margarito is on the downside now. He will never be the same. I thought the Cotto fight was worse for him. Yes Cotto got beaten badly but Margo took the long term damage in that fight. The blows he took from Cotto was definitely impressive yet not really good for him obviously. If someone started the downslide of Margo it was Cotto. Mosley just destroyed the last bit Margo had left.

    I agree. The lack of basic boxing skills caught up to him.

    If Margarito comes back, then it proves we were wrong about Shane, but it possible that Margarito is done, round 8 and 9 saw Margarito take a one way beating from a elite fighter; I don't care how tuff you are, those type of beating to hard to bounce back from.

    margo has already been showed to be a limited fighter. its no reason that hes always falls behind in fights. pw, clottey, cotto and mosley all were outboxing margo at one point and made him look bad. its just mosley and pw were able to do it consistently. its just so happens that mosely speed and agression exploited margo weakness more profoundly.

    depends what they find, if they find hard tape he should be ok, if they find concrete in the wraps then he is going to be in trouble.

    Yeah Cotto helped Mosley to beat Margo...now thats an interesting statement. Tell me how it was worse to take not fully planted punches for 11 rounds instead of ****ing bombs for 8 rounds...
    I never heard someone say that Judah and Mosley was somewhat the reason why Margo won...
    It seems everyone rushes to give other dudes credit, even tho they were the ones who lost to his unstoppable punishment...cmon Mosley was the one who ****ing KO'ed unknockoutable fighter.

    Do you really think that Cotto was only throwing light shots? that he had Zero power on them, beleive those shots Cotto landed took their toll. Mosley just had a better plan, in the early rounds land your clean hard shots, get in the damage while he is giving you the early rounds, in the later rounds you can always switch back to lighter shots, however the damage was done as a result Mosley saw this and took care of business.

    Honestly, I think a combination of big punches from Mosley, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, Williams, Santos is going to be the main reason for his downfall.

    No doubting the guy has a great chin, but there's only so many punches you can take.

    I just feel the guy has taken far too many in recent times to be able to regain his place at the top of the welterweight tree.

    It seems some of you have hard time giving Mosley credit for what he did.

    "Mosley !JUST! had : better plan, more power, was stronger "Last time I checked these things wins you fights. How come Williams, Cintron, Cotto, Clottey failed to do that ? Clottey cought Margo numerous times in 4 rounds, so did Cotto in first 5 so did Williams half of the fight and Mosley said to himself yeah Im "JUST" gona hit slightly harder, "JUST" gona go a bit more to the body....CMON Mosley did the job, hes the man, he KO'ed highly regarded fighter (unbeatable in the eyes of many).
