    I just finished watching some highlights of Mosley/Margarito.

    Who's win do you think was more impressive Mosley's win or Pacquiao over Margarito?

    Coming up to the fight this weekend I'm just curious. That was Mosley last big win over 2 years ago but it was impressive.

    Mosley as people said has been inconsistent. Every time people think he's done he comes with some crazy win.

    I do think Pac is going to win this weekend, but it always something to keep in the back of your mind.

    I think Mosley win was more impressive because Margarito was known for having a granite chin, especially after the Cotto fight..

    Pac's over Tony was more impressive...
    Rewatch the Mosley/Margarito fight, Tony looked drawn & weak from the start of the fight.
    (Against Pacquiao he was at 100%)

    Just my opinion as a "Tornado" fan.

    I think it's even. Mosley was able to do more damage and displayed a great game-plan with good athletic abilities & versatility as a fighter. He actually felled the unfellable tree.

    Pacquiao was able to use his size disadvantage as an advantage in mobility and really punish Margarito throughout with a very high output. The footwork he needed to be so dominant impresses me as much as the ability for Mosley to blend skill, speed, and power into a demolishing performance. I'd say the same.

    Well the odds going into the fight was about 3/1 in favor of Margarito against Mosley and Pacquiao about a 6/1 favorite against Margarito. On the surface, you have to go with Mosley as Margarito was "the man" at WW and most gave Mosley no chance. But style wise, Margarito was perfect for a guy like Mosley. But watching Pacman just bust up a guy so much bigger than him was amazing also. I voted Pacquiao but i'm sure most will say Mosley.

    Pacquiao's win was more impressive. Margarito outweighed him by nearly 20 lbs. and he was in tip-top shape (no weight drain). The size difference was ridiculous. But Pacquiao fractured him up (and may have held him up, in the end).

    Shane Mosley.

    He was the heavy underdog vs Margarito. Pacquiao was the heavy favorite.

    Mosley's win was ****in impressive.

    Pacquiao vs. Margarito played out the way most people expected it to... Margarito walking face first into combinations for 12 rounds. Doesn't mean it's not a quality win, but Pac was always expected to win that fight, regardless of the size difference.

    Mosley was a massive underdog, a fading star against a guy that pretty much looked indestructible in his last fight. Margarito seemed like the Terminator against Cotto, it was ridiculous.

    But Mosley ****in manhandled him. Pushed him about the ring like he was a lightweight and landed brutal right hand after brutal right hand. One of the best wins of the last few years IMO.

    Mosleys by far.. Even though Pac pitched a shut out, Margarito had landed some effective punches and even admits to being hurt(or some remark like that). THey could have stopped the fight but pac never had him reeling the way Mosley did.

    Mosley was dominant he just took the fight to Margo .. NO fancy game plan or movement.. Just beat him on speed and power and was shaking Margo up more than Pac ever did.... I guess all the *******s have made this poll close. Because Mosley was far more sensational.

    Rewatch the fights.... Margarito was done before the fight even stareted against Shane.
    (Worst I ever seen Margarito EVER to start a fight!!!)

    Dude it's SSM and it's not even close. He literally beat the ever loving **** out of Tony as a 3-1 underdog. I mean **** he stopped the man, Pac didn't get him out of there, and at no time did Pac hurt Tony the way Shane did.

    **** the odds.... Margarito was "****" in the Shane fight.
    Mosley did his thing no doubt... But Tony was at best 60% in that fight.
