    I think you're underestimating Mosley here, a bit. Not that the scenario you depict isn't a possibility, but I don't think it's probable.

    mosley has a chance for me to win this gifht by outboxing margo, but that really depends on how much he got left in the tank..mosley's one of the class acts in boxing, always going for good fights, a real fighter rather than a busnes man

    As much as I like Mosely, and wouldn't mind him winning... I kinda want Margarito to win. If Margarito wins, we will get to see him fight Cotto again, and that was an amazing fight. Also we will probably get to see the rematch with Paul Williams, which is a potential fight of the year candidate.

    Actually, I believe Margarito's camp has already stated, regardless of the outcome in the Mosley fight (which they no doubt believe they will win), the Cotto rematch will go ahead as planned in June.

    Regardless... GO MOSLEY!!

    :hh

    Mosley can beat Margo because he can box like Cotto was doing but the only thing that separate Mosley and Cotto is that Mosley is more durable and have a better chin both weapons that you need to beat Margo. I like Mosley chances in this fight even better than the Cotto rematch. The only thing is that Mosley didn't look to good in the Mayorga figh so he is fading now fast.

    Mosley doesn't hit harder than Cotto. And Mosley has gotten to the point where he can't throw many combinations anymore. Margarito will walk him down and I can see Mosley dad stopping the fight. I would no doubt cheer for Mosley but I can't see him beating Margarito not at this point in his career

    Yes Mosley is durable but whats going to happen when Mosley hits Margarito with everything and nothing happens? Mosley won't be able to keep Margarito off of him. Cotto was landing massive shots to Margaritos head and it didnt do anything. MOsley would have to go exclusively to MArgaritos body to have any shot of doing any damage.

    Very doubtful. If the same shane that showed up for mayorga, shane will be canned by Margo.

    I think he does.
    Which, against Margarito, might be a good thing. Margo is easy to hit. Had Cotto thrown fewer combinations, he may not have tired as easily as he did.
    Well, a Margo victory is certainly a possibility, but I think everyone is grossly overrating Margo since his win over Cotto. We shall see.

    I think Mosley could upset Margo, but after seeing Mosley's last performacne, I would question if Mosely's age has finally caught up to him. I mean, he was outboxed by Mayorga for a good chunk of the fight for crying out loud. And I seriously don't see Mosley knocking Margo out. I think Margo will feel Mosley out at first and see whether he thinks if Mosley can hurt him or not just like he did Cotto. IF Margo feels Mosley can't hurt him, he'll be in his grill all night not only taking punches, but delivering some bombs of his own.

    That's a NO-NO for Margarito!

    He better stop reading the newsclippings. He is not superhuman. If he "tests" out Shane he will learn quickly that Shane will have the chin to stay in there an extra second and sit down on his punches. Margarito will feel a slightly harder "POP" than he felt with Cotto. Then Shane will tie him up.

    This fight ain't gonna be like the Cotto fight. Nothing like it.

    Don't forget, Mayorga was HUGE in that fight. He weighed 170 on fight night if memory serves, and he looked as hungry as I've ever seen him since his loss to Spinks.
