    that is the stupidest ****ing comment I have ever read. Margo has always been a walking punching bag. Cotto landed at will in their fight, he just did not have the power to hurt Margo. that is the difference of why Mosley was able to beat him.

    margo was a monster true, but it was just a matter of time for him to run into someone tha thad enough power to take him out.

    Floyd fought oscar at junior middleweight not welter though so Floyd had to play it safe against someone as big as de la hoya that night...I think floyd weighed 149lbs on fight night and oscar was somewhere in the 160's....And We honestly don't know how much power Floyd has against welters cuz he hasn't fought enough of them but he knocked out hatton at welter and dominated baldomir at welter...thats 50% at the official weight right?

    I get you on the punch respect issue that floyd needs....but i think his defense and counter ability will win him this fight....and if he fights aggressive (which for some reason i completely expect) I can see how he can ko shane just on frustration of hitting and not getting hit.....

    Shanes preparing for floyd to box him and move and maintain distance...I think floyd will do this but mix it up with some heavy combination sequences to throw shane off

    DLH fight was not even close. Floyd put a boxing clinic against DLH, Hatton, and JMM. Floyd gave away those 4 rounds to DLH. He could have easily won all 12 rounds against DLH.

    I know that Floyd-Oscar fought at 154 but anyway Oscar is the best fighter Floyd fought at WW or north. I'm personally expecting a fight in which Mosley will press the action and will troll a lot more punches and Floyd will land with a higher percentage. At the end this will end with a controversial decision maybe going to Floyd to set up a Pac-Floyd mega fight. Mosley can win the fight if he manages to hurt Floyd get him in a completely defensive mode and out work him convincingly. Anyway I hope it's going to be a great fight

    Maybe it is stupid for you but I repeat so you can understand it. People use the same way to discredit Floyd wins. Oscar was old, Hatton wasn't at his best weight and so one. Margo was scary against strong fighters like Cotto and Cintron. He literally destroyed them. Mosley didn't win this only with his power but with his brilliant tactics.

    but would mosley looked like the other two fighters had margo had his bricks in...or could cotto have won if margo did not have the bricks...Fact is we dont know how good or scary margo was since he was exposed as a cheater...We cant assume that only happened when he fought shane

    Mosley is my fav fighter and I love Cotto but c'mon Shane didn't win that fight. He was looking for a ko that wasn't there and waited until the last minute. I'll admit had it been for 15 rounds then Mosley would've won by ko but that didn't happen. Great fight but the result still stands, Cotto by close decision.
