    1 dimensional :huh

    even today shop worn and 36 years old mosely has more variety/abilty/adatabilty than margarito has ever had and ever will have, in his prime mosely was awesime skilled fighter and IMO would have easily outboxed margarito.

    what mosely no longer has is workrate or legs, which is why margarito is the favourite.

    Shane is alot of things but one dimensional is not one of them. Shane in his prime had everything but liked to brawl to often. If he had just stayed to his flair and box tactics he would have alot more wins on his record.

    Shane looks one dimensional to me. I mean hell, what did he do different for the two forrest and winky matches. Shane have always fought one way and that is the press forward way. Name one fight where he did different and name one fight where he was outboxed and changed his style and wins the fight???

    I dont care what anyone says, cotto began a blueprint to defeat margarito, although he couldnt finish it. Mosley must finish it, maybe watch what paul williams did (yes williams is a much taller, not to mention fresher guy among other things), and try to outwork margo (yes i know thats almost impossible), or at least outland him 2 or 3 to 1. But I agree, mosley must be better than when he fought mayorga, but mayorga's so damn awkward, so i dont blame mosley too much for that outing.

    I think mosley has a shot. He must turn back the clock, at least 3 years or so, but if he can, he will pull it out.

    Mosley MD.
