    Many people have said that this was not the "real" Margarito because he was too distracted by the hand wrap controversy. Therefore, Mosley winning every round against him and knocking him out was more anomaly than proof that he was not the better man that night.

    Personally, I think that Margarito lost his hunger after the Cotto fight and figured that Mosley would be an easy win. He was not prepared for Mosley's jabbing or (unfortunately) holding. He ate Cotto's headshots like popcorn, so he figured he'd do the same to Mosley, a guy with two-fisted power and wouldn't throw all of his power punches backing up. It was a legit victory for Mosley against the WW champion of the world.

    What do you guys think?

    A standard loss.... beaten by a better fighter....

    He did take some heavy shots though, i don't think a fight with Pac is a good thing to do really...... hes gonna get smashed up... this fight could finish him off for good

    Margo just isn't nor was he ever any good period, he was just a hype-job created by Arum to discredit Mayweather, if you watch the first 6 rounds of the Cotto fight, you will see him not only losing but being outclassed. I honesty think the Mosley fight was not the first time he loaded his gloves. He will not be competitive at all with Pac, who has really grown into a legit WW.

    Legit loss. Headed for a loss against an illegitimate champion for an illegitimate championship belt.

    I think those people are ******ed and should just give Mosley his due. Mosley is ALWAYS going to be a stylistic nightmare for marg. I don't care if your family just died, NO ONE would stand there to take those bombs from Mosley. You either have the skills to avoid and prevent them, or fight back. marg proved that he can't do anything about Mosley.

    Its a legitimate loss but you cant say that it's all because of mosely's skills. part of it is because marg is distracted with all that handwrap thing. i believe that marg is just as good as mosely and cotto without those handwraps.

    A legit loss to a better fighter. Even the plaster wouldnt have done him any favour that night. Mosley had the right gameplan.

    marg is a come forward slow volume puncher. Mosley is a come forward speedy slugger with a granite chin. It's not hard to do the math

    Mosley is a terrible style for Margarito. However i thought Mosley had slowed down enough for Margo to take him.

    There was reports before the fight that Margo was having a hard time getting down in weight. He must have got silk pajama syndrome. I think he bloated way up after the Cotto fight.

    Good old fashioned ass whooping! Whether he got found out with the loaded gloves or not he would have still got his ass handed to him!

    Margarito got his ass handed to him by his superior. Nothing more to it. Pacquiao will do the same, although I do have a slight concern about the size difference.
