    Mosley got phased by Cotto's power thats why he wasnt able to walk him down in the beginning. I am pretty sure if Shane was a lot younger when he was really fast he would of won that fight with crisp combos.

    Possibly to some extent, although I can't really agree with that. Mosley isn't worried about getting hit. He was thrown off by Cotto's excellent combinations and clever shot selection. It's Mosley's tendency to mirror his opposition and play tit-for-tat. Cotto did a brilliant job of sending subliminal messages to Mosley to keep things at a certain pace and a certain intensity. If Cotto scored with a combination and stepped back out, Mosley would play the game with him. Mosley didn't believe that Cotto could beat him at any game, particularly tactical scoring. It was desperation that finally caused Mosley to go after Cotto and apply pressure in the later rounds.

    Mosley was well past it, and/or having a subpar night, agreed.

    Well, margarito should have been watching mosley for the longest time because that's basically how margo fought throughout his career.

    Mosley, you my boy.....my 5th favorite fighter, but honestly....**** out of here, lol....do you really beleive that?

    Margaritio isn't the Bernard Hopkins type.....that studies tapes, and comes up with a fight plan.....because he only has one way to fight, "come forward, throw punches"......so as a fan of this fighter, i gotta say.......cut the bull****

    but atleast it was good for a laff

    Margo Can Only Fight 1 Way Straight Forward And Relentless Have To Be Prepared To Fight A Tough 12 Rounds Because Margo Isn't Going Anywhere.

    Lets see how entertaining it is for his family to deal with him with brain damage after he's retired! If he keep fighting like that, he won't last to long.

    Margarito sure did watched the tape but he won't make the mistake Shane did. Three bananas or twelve bananas. Shane picked three, even a chipanzee can figure that one out.

    Shane is full of ****. Cotto outboxed Shane throughout the fight. I don't know how anyone can have shane winning his fight with Cotto. I hope Margo does fight shane now so we can see Shane get counted out!

    The thing people are not observing with Marg is his attention to his own body. He tightened up his already tight defense to his torso. This negated one of Cotto's key weapons, the body punch. Since Margarito is taller he knew he would eat shots but not all of them would land with the full impact, that and the knowledge that power is lost when you are retreating. Fighters hit a lot harder coming forward than going backward. In a case where two power punchers are goin at it that can make all the difference in the world. Well that and a steel chin. Either way, Mosley had slowed a step and lost a bit of that endurance he used to have. Please see DeLaHoya Mosley 1. It is always hard to admit that against the boxer puncher (Cotto) the slicker boxer lost (Mosley) and the power puncher won (margo). Although both Mosley and Margo are considered power punchers each leans more towards one attribute and I know I don't have to explain who is who on ESB. Cotto is the perfect happy medium. Conclusion: Styles and good training make fights not tapes.

    Mosley should have boxed, if only he decided to box he might have won that fight. Mosley tried to exchange and he couldn't do good enough damage to seriously hurt Cotto or trouble him, yeah he did stun him but it was nothing too serious. Margarito just had the size advantage and broke Cotto down.
