    diehard mayweather fans seem to think margarito is a C level brawler. yet they believe mayweather's win against mosley was great because mosley was coming off a spectacular performance against...........margarito.

    mosley was shot, watch the mayorga fight. prime mosley would have stopped floyd in the 2nd round.

    That's funny because a lot of those who insist that Margarito was some serious threat to Mayweather also claim that the Shane Mosley who kicked seven shades of **** out of his ass had nothing left.

    No, Bro your on on crack !!! Mosley was coming off, one of the biggest wins in his career when he absolutely destroyed Margarito and claim the WBA belt in progress. Let's not forget this was the Margarito (Plaster of Paris) who beat down one of the best WW at the time which was Miguel Cotto. Shane was probably was at the peak of his career (considering his age). I think this was Floyd biggest threat at the time since Floyd pretty much got corner to fight Mosley since there was a lot of pressure from the media and fans from him to take the fight and prove his greatness. So please spare me with the he was shot BS.

    shane was shot.

    win over margo wasn't a good indicator since the shot shane was still way quicker than margo.

    Floyd is scared of X and will never fight him
    Floyd signs to fight X
    X is a bum, shot, too green etc
    Floyd wins wide UD
    Floyd cherry picked X

    REPEAT AD NAUSEAM

    Lol What a stupid question. When a 38 year old fighter is showing signs of gassing at the end of round 2, he is obviously a shot fighter.

    Shane wasn't completely shot the way many claim. He was a far cry from the talent that had fought DLH 10 years earlier, but Shane was a dangerous opponent, and I personally still believe that stands as one of Floyd's finest performances to date.

    The way Floyd rebounded from being twice rocked by Shane, only to take over and back Shane up by the end of that very same round is a testament to Floyd's greatness.

    Mosley was not shot when he fought Mayweather. In his previous 6 fights leading up to the Mayweather fight he TKO'd Margo, KO'd Mayorga, Lost a Decision to Cotto, Decisioned Collazo and TKO'd Vargas 2. That Hardly sounds like a shot fighter to me. Besides it well documented that Mayweather wanted Mosley long before they actually fought.

    Obviously shot. That was nothing like the old Shane. Proven again in the Pac fight. Completely reluctant to throw, that's not Shane. He almost knocked out Floyd while being shot, you'd have to be a fool not to think he'd do better in his prime.

    :p
    Mosley fought a shot Mayorga and struggled like crazy. The KO was sort of dodgy too, ref put no space between them after the knock down.

    Lol! I wasn't going for grammar with that post. Now how about you add something of substance and refrain from name calling. Your inability to post anything of value is very apparent. Now shut the fukc up unless you have something to say more than elementary put downs

    @Babality
    A KO is a KO. Mayorga was not shot when he fought Mosley, Mayorga's problem was a lack of discipline outside the ring with his drinking, smoking and wild lifestyle. Mayorga is a tough out when comes to fight which he usually did.
