    The average layperson, if they saw it wouldn't know what the hell it ment.

    its one guy ****ing up, not the sport. I think you are overracting on this one.

    The fight and result was great for boxing, Mosley won and now he can also bring big fights. Margarito was just a hypejob and everyone knows this, his loss doesn't kill nor harm boxing, Mosley can bring major fights too.

    That is not what I meant. I meant that it could've been some insignificant extra padding that was being labeled as plaster of paris. Remember, we still don't know for sure if it was plaster of paris, it was only taken for further study. That is all that I meant bud. If it does happen to be plaster or any other substance I would be the first to condemn Marg for cheating.

    How about those idiots in the crowd show a classy guy Mosley some respect he's in his hometown and those classless clowns booed him for no reason. I'm glad those idiots got to witness the beatdown. I only wish i was there to rub it in their faces.

    Mosley beat De la hoya twice and still couldn't pull the crowds he wished for. Lets be honest, De la hoya is way bigger than Margarito. Margarito attracted the mexican crowd which are now (along with puerto ricans) the biggest supporters of the sport. They don't follow any other style of fighting besides boxing.

    I couldn't agree more. Exposing a hype job like Margo is always good for boxing.

    You have validated my point, Mexicans really like to support their own. If mosley is liked so much in his hometown, why didn't people pay to support him. People from tijuana showed up and supported their hero. My point exactly, Margarito is good for the sport, he really does bring people. UNLIKE MOSLEY!

    I understand about supporting your own and have no problem with it. However Mosley is a class act if it was someone like PBF with a bad guy persona I'd have no problem with it. Shane deserved more than what he got from that crowd last night.

    Now we are starting to understand each other. I actually love mosley and I'm serious. It's just that some people posting seem to have wanted Marg to get killed in the ring. I personally don't like to see any fighter getting seriously hurt.

    Pimp C, I consider myself a hardcore boxing fan, and I appreciate any boxer who puts on the gloves for my entertainment. You are right, Mosley deserves everything he has accomplished and I actually clapped last night while watching him live. Very impressive.

    I agree he should have been shown more respect from the crowd at first. By the end of the night he earned their respect with what he did with his fists though and most importantly he is gonna earn another multi-million dollar payday.

    I hope that fight is made with Floyd because for one that is a great fight and two another huge pay day for both of them. I bet that ***** Jin is milking Sugar for all she can. Then we get to see Mayweather-Mosley and Hatton-Pacquiao around the same time.
