First of all if you are going to call Mosley ATG and margarito a real champ. You can at least acknowledge that Cotto did well against Mosley. If you gave the fight to Mosley it was still a close fight moron. Useless idiot
Settle down, y'all...it's merely food (junk food?) for thought. The truth is that Mosley fought a GREAT fight tonight and (not or) the Cotto fight took a toll on Margarito. How could it have not? Toll or no toll, the speed (and overall Mosley greatness tonight) was too much of a factor. The only difference the toll taken made was Margarito not reaching the final bell. The toll of a grueling fight is hardly ever considered when we talk about the victor (see Taylor vs. Chavez I among many, many others).
Mosley has been my favorite fighter since he was at 135 and I was sure he would lose tonight. I thought he would be aggressive - he's always been a hit you back harder kind of fighter - I just figured he'd fade down the stretch while Margarito turned it up. Shane never let up and looked as good as he's ever looked (albeit against a much slower fighter). Great win for one of the classiest to ever lace em up. :happy
