    I logically predict Margo winning this by ko or decision but knowing myself and how I've been wrong all year expect an upset and a Mosley win.

    My decision: Margarito
    The Anti-me reality: Mosley

    :huh

    Before you shed any tears for Mosley....

    Margie has taken a hell of a lot more punishment than Mosley.
    And Mosley has made a hell of a lot more Money than Margie.

    Mosley has a very good chance in this fight.

    If I remember correctly it was a head butt that dented his chin before a devestating punch cracked it.

    So who thinks that Mosely is better then the 3/1 underdog he is being touted as by the bookies?

    Mosley is rightfully a 3-1 underdog but I think he wins this by tying Margarito up and landing a couple big shots per round.

    Very low, Mosley is not active enough in a round to outbox or keeping moving and spinning his man.

    and people keep bringing up Mosley's chin, its his body he needs to be worried about

    He is a Black Athlete. At 147, he is going to be ****ing lighhtning fast, and has a world more of experience than one hit wonder Margarito. Margarito had a hard time against SBA Paul Williams and will have a hard time against SBA Shane Mosley. He wont be able to handle that kind of hand and footspeed.

    He definitely has a chance as long as he boxes and moves. He can't stop Margarito so he should be looking to win on points. If he stands and trades he goes the same way as Cotto. Margarito is a slow starter if he can win the first 3 or 4 rounds who knows. Cotto looked quite comfortable early on but allowed himself to get dragged into a brawl. Margarito beats anyone in that kind of fight. When he lost to Williams he was kept at arms length. It all depends if Mosley still has the fitness and speed to keep it up for 12 rounds. Personally I see Margarito winning via late stoppage but definitely a fight i'm looking forward to.

    Of course he does Mosley is a truely great fighter. Margarito is so damn overatted plus hes very slow Mosley with a good gameplan can rip Margarito apart. This isnt Cotto or Cintron here Mosley has great determination watch his eyes when he throws his punches and he has balls of steel plus hes durable and has great stamina. Lets see how Margarito feels when Mosley isnt folding like the others.

    He's a black athlete? Are you an unathletic paper pusher not personally involved in sports who thinks thats supposed to mean something? Cus those are the dudes I see ever pushing that kind of argument.

    Also, Cotto isn't fast? Didn't Cotto match Mosely's speed when they fought?

    *Edit* IF that was a sarcastic post -- you got me.

    I have a feeling Margarito will never shake the overrated status because of his style. :think

    He stands a chance. He is human and so is Margarito.

    Yes, he has a good chance at winning this fight, this is Shane Mosley, not Hercules Kyvelos.

    Mosely is a live dog here, but hes too one dimensional and will fight Margaritos game.
