That's the advantage of being a recognized name. I do wonder what happens if we get Cotto-Margo again, if Margarito breaks down Cotto again or if...
Ditto. Shane was so fast that people automatically assumed he was a slick boxer and didn't notice things like the fact that he didn't have a...
This is a bad matchup for Shane. Really bad. His tools have been falling apart on him over the years, he doesn't go to the body anymore, he gassed...
Margarito by TKO. Mayorga would be doing his usual crap during training, and is vulnerable to the body attack. Margarito would come out with the...

The HBO guys said one judge had Mayorga ahead. Presumably Mosley would have won a split decision.
Mosley's decline has been long and slow, but it's there. His tools are falling apart on him. He can only fight in bursts. He pulled this one off....
I'm entirely with you on both points. Trust me, I've debated Chavez-Taylor to death too, both here and elsewhere. Shane should still wrap it up...
