Mosley is shot and he's been shot since at least the Cotto fight 3 years ago. Huge Mosley fan, but I hope he hangs them up so he doesn't hurt his reputation further. Obviously, Mayweather's resume takes a hit here (that fight was just like 4 months ago) and PBF cherry-picked a faded Mosley. PBF said Mosley was old, and Floyd was right. Additionally, it seems pretty clear that the handwraps issue (getting caught) made Margarito a beaten fighter when he stepped into the ring against Mosley. Many observers said that Margo looked like a ghost that night, and the humiliation of being caught trying to cheat must have gotten to Antonio. The difference between Margarito and Mosley is that Antonio is only 32 years old whereas Mosley is 39. Tony should have a few more good fights left in him, but it's time for Shane to hang them up. Been time.
No I didn't. I said he's not as good as he is at welter. He still holds his own at 154, he even showed it against wink a bit in the second fight. But he fought MORA, a above average fighter but nothing special at all. I'm sure that Mosley that lost to Winky would have done much better than he did now. He's shot + fighting at 154 = this performance. He looked terrible vs Mayweather because Mayweather is obviously much better than Mora, but he was still shot.
So you think Marg has better defense? Lmao. THey both have **** defense, but Mayo's better, and his awkward style helps.
You're there, obviously so please do respond to this- Erik Morales was a shot fighter when HE BEAT Pacquiao as evident by his loss four months earlier to Barrera and also evident by his loss in the fight after Pacquiao I, to Zahir Raheem. I drew this conclusion by trying to follow your logic.
Zahir Raheem could have beaten Morales before. Just a nightmare style for him. But Morales was past it anyway, but not quite shot. Did you see his LOSS to Barrera or just check boxrec? Do you think he got destroyed or something? atsch He was shot for the third Pacquiao fight. And yes a past it Morales beat Pacquiao in the first fight indeed. :good Not shot though. Mosley is now definitely shot. Kinda like Morales was vs Diaz. Both fights where the shot fighter showed he was shot. How about using your real account dumbass alt. So sad. Talking about Pacquiao in a Mosley/Mayweather thread a Mayweather thread. Tsk, Tsk. Oh wait, he must know I'm a Pac fan so he brought it up. Obviously a cowardly alt.
The Margarito fight is the anomaly in the last two years of Mosley's career. He rolled back the clock that night but in the fight immediately before and both after - barring an excellent minute or so in which he landed couple of good shots on a questionable chin - he's looked every inch the fighter with little left in the tank.
