    Only think I'd like to add is that probably the beatings Margo has taken finally caught up to him. Cotto really pounded him, and few men could have withstood it. For a guy who's been a professional since his teens, eventually Margo was going to wear out. Mosley turned the trick and also knew when to throw his entire body into a punch. A couple of those left hooks were actually done southpaw so they really slammed into Margo.

    Cotto's brave proclomation that he will never clinch will probably keep him from beating Margo though. It's obvious you need to do that to him, and refusing to won't help. That said, Margo may very well be broken now and easier to knock out in the future. I think he'll become a measuring stick for another 2-3 years.

    All those people that said margarito is unbeatable and blah blah blah, it was funny how mosley made him look like a walking punch bag, he is overrated. Mosley vs hatton or cotto next. GO ON MOSLEY!

    The fight left me amazed but confused , whilst watching the pre-fight interview with Shane I was actually worried for his health, he's always seemed like a nice guy but the Mayorga performance did not instill confidence.He was slow and uninspired (maybe the opponent) Cotto had beat him and then 'he' got beaten by Shanes next opponent soo the signs weren't looking good.Then there's steroid stuff,trainer/marriage split.I actually thought he was gonna get hurt!
    Margarito was sooo slow compared to how fast,zippy Mosleys combo's were.The poppin' jab all over his face.I thought Mosleys head was going in a bit too much but had no bearing in the end.
    After the event I feel unsure of making predictions!Put it next to Hopkins/Pavlik another one I was sure of.
    I'm sure the underdog status's became big motivators for these veterans
    Boxing's a funny old game sometimes as I think Roach has said sometimes A will beat C and C will beat B but B will beat A ?
    Mosley/Richardsons gameplan was spot on.
    Left me befuddled
