If Shane Mosley is "old and past it" than what is Antonio Margarito?

He probaly have. Otherwise Floyd would have said he didnt. Instead he took off.

 

There is a strong possibility that Margo is past it, but i think he still has something left.

With Mosley i think it was just a case of him turning back the clock for one last time. Mosley had not looked that good in years. Anyone who has folowed this sport long enough knows that happens to alot of fighters. Kind of a last hurrah.

Both are cheater.

 

Mosley's style plus Nazim as his new trainer enabled him to tie up Margarito constantly while still being able to land his bombs on his way to victory. Even today Floyd isn't the puncher Mosley is, but he's obviously the better boxer. It was widely known way before the fight Mosley only had the punchers chance and even though Floyd's style was the worst Mosley could go up against, a prime Shane was much more consistent and much faster when he lost to the likes of Winky and Forrest. While Mosley could of been a more dangerous fight for Pacman, I think Pacman is still the most dangerous fight for Floyd style wise. Mosley was always a fighter that stands in front of you, not Pacman. Margarito might be younger than Mosley, but his style is one of those that takes way more wear and tear obviously and has taken more punishment. He isn't exactly a technical fighter or worries about defense too much, at least when he had capetillo. Just look to Morales, who was a much more skillful fighter than Margarito, but he chose to fight toe to toe and his body paid for it. Meldrick Taylor is another example.

 

atsch You were calling Shane old a while back.
