    Mosley has looked old for a long time. I'd say the first Vargas fight was the last truly good version we saw. He looked impressive against Cotto, which was a good win for him, but he had definitely declined since his peak. He showed against Mayorga that he was essentially done.

    There are so many "buts" regarding the Margarito fight, I don't think it proves anything about the state of Mosley at the time of the win. I think it says far more about Margarito on that night.

    I agree with you, but not fully. Styles make fights and Mora is around 6 foot and weighed in over 160 last night and Vera was even bigger than him.

    Shane's best weight is 147. Mora is a natural MW. Vera is a natural MW. It's tough to make a comparison between the two fights, because, Shane had to overcome significant age, height, and weight disadvantages. Not to mention, he is past prime, and had just taken a beating a few months before that.

    Wait a minute. First you said that you appreciated Pac's contribution to boxing and then you stated afterwards that Pac symbolizes everything that is wrong w/ boxing. What's up w/ that?

    It means he appreciates everything that is wrong with boxing. That's why he's a disgraceful Floyd Mayweather dickrider.

    The Shane that beat Margo is not the same Shane that fought Floyd who is pretty much the same Shane who fought Mora who will be even worse for Pacman.

    I don't really value the FMJ victory or Pac's probable future victory as much as some people. Pac's less than Floyd's, but neither are in very high esteem.
