Passing of the torch, that's all. It's time for these old lions to go back to their den...then I'll go cheer myself up with some pung tang pie and get over it.
:lol1:....Exactly :fing02:....but instead of the pie, I'd blaze some trees and add that to the collection of fights "I NEVER WATCH AGAIN" like Ali-Holmes, Taylor-Chavez I and II, Tyson-Holy I, Tyson-Lewis, and most recently Roy-Calzaghe.
I wouldn't be that surprised.
Mosley is a tough guy, but I can see an exhausted and beaten Mosley getting stopped in the late rounds, or the corner waiving the towel.
My reaction would be "See Shane, I told you not to keep fighting top guys when you are so past your best." Then I would be a little sad to see Shane get stopped, but remember that Mosely in his prime was a million times better then he is now. Especially at the higher weight he struggles trying to fight at. I would be sad as a fan of Shanes, but he shouldnt be fighting Mararito at his age and at this weight. I also dont think Margarito can stop him. I fully expect Margarito to win at this point, but Mosley has a hell of a beard.
What Williams did to win was hold then hit. Mosley holds but forgets to hit. Take Williams holding away and he loses - ex. Quintanna.
nah... williams outworked marg
yeah, but i think mosley is gonna try and brawl w/ marg and that's not a good way to fight marg unless you can outwork him like williams

Realisticly shane is still good enough to give Margarito problems shane already beat Collazo so that says something. But Shane has always had problems with good tall fighters and Margarito isn't just good and tall, Margarito likely would always given Mosley problems especially with a chin like Margaritos. And good to see no one is complaining at the size difference we all know Molsey is coming down in weight and is a big guy as well just that he isn't at tall as Marg.

Thats the risk fighters take fighting a great who is past their prime its lose-lose just as it should be. Beating an over the hill fighter is no way to make your name
I agree, I'm just trying to point out how hypocritical some fans can be.
They insist a younger fighter in his prime, take on a once past great to prove himself, and once the younger dude wins, "he was too old and past his prime and thats the only reason he lost".

I expect it to happen which is why I'm not too fond of this fight in the first place.
Soon as it does, all the "Mosley is old" talk comes spewing out.
Even though every Margarito detractor claims he was ducking Shane.
See Jones Calzaghe.

My reaction would be "wow" cause even at 37 I don't think Mosley is no pushover. He's still a top WW.
Exactly what I was going to type. Mosley has NEVER been stopped, so even now, I'd give Margarito big time props for doing it.
