    i think it is ,the way he makes cute fast little angles for himelf ,and double ,even tripling the jab up like lightning while landing hard crosses to the head ,also he was unmarked after the fight and id never have thought shane would be capable of a show like he gave us.

    The Margo fight was a great one though. I can't remember enjoying a fight so much.

    I don't see how his first victory over Oscar could be considered better than this. Mosley knocked out the #1 rated Welterweight in the world. Not to mention he KO'd a guy who's chin was made out of steel. The smartest fight I've seen Shane fight.

    It's the best Mosley performance I've saw of him.

    The Margo fight was good but sort of more unexpected, which made the win great, sort of like Douglas/Tyson, not comparing Margarito to a HOF fighter like Tyson, but the surprise when Shane knocked down Margarito was similar. Everyone expected Shane to be overwhelmed and in quicker fashion than Cotto, and Shane outsped Antonio and outclassed him and knocked him out. Great win. But with Oscar in the first fight, Shane beat a fellow HOF fighter who could counterpunch and punch and do everything well including jabbing. Oscar is a complete fighter regardless of his losses or anything like that. Much more complete than Margarito. So I thought that win was the win which sort of puts Shane in the HOF. That is the win which Mayweather does not have . A win against a HOF fighter when he was on top/prime or near it. Shane is a warrior. This is exactly what is meant by a HOF fighter. He did not beat them all, but in the end his career is HOF and impressive. Floyd avoids the kind of fights Shane had, yet he beats the guys he handpicks, and people wonder why he is not seen as an ATG or even very respected. The fans know he is not taking on the tough guys he could have. It is very hard to become ATG if you handpick. I think Floyd has the ablity to be all time great, but you cannot make someone ATG who you think could have been one without fighting the fighters which make him an ATG. I swayed from the topic. I am sorry.
