    Mosley had problems with big rangy fighters, ie Forrest and Winky...but he did give DLH close matches. I'm trying to dissect their styles, youth and other tangibles. Mosley has to bring his A game to escape with a W. Notice the word, escape.

    Mosely has good power, but he is by no means the second hardest puncher at 147, even Zab hit harder than Shane according to Cotto.

    I disagree.

    Mayorga is a much different animal than Margarito.

    Mayorga is a herky jerky kinda fighter whereas margarito will come straight at Shane and might be a bit easier to manage.

    If Shane holds AM well on the inside and doesn't lay on the ropes, it could easily be a win for Shane.

    Actually, didn't Forrest go on to win a title at 154? And didn't Winky go on to shut out Tito and have a draw with Taylor?

    I don't think we are, he looked like **** against Mayorga and I had him down going into the 12th round. I think he'll be way too past it and is in for a nasty beat down.
