Why do I get the feeling that Shane would box the ears out of MARG en route to a Unanimous Decision and possibly stopping him in the late rounds?
I mean my senses tell me Marg is the safest pick considering his very IMPRESSIVE win over COTTO but something tells me SHANE would take this one....
Well Shane is slicker than COTTO and he has the HEART to do it...and of course he also has the CHIN to trade bombs with MARG with rate of 3:2 in favor of SHANE because of his SPEED (althought in recent fights it has relatively slowed down).
Also MARG is not a ONE-PUNCH kNOCKOUT ARTIST(please correct me if im wrong)He is more of a WEAR YOU DOWN TYPE OF FIGHTER (like PAC in recent memories)so much so that "A GIVE ME ILL TAKE IT" type of FIGHT is possible in the middle rounds.Well both of them has the CHIN (Shane's CHIN is DEFINITELY UNDERATED and MARG'S CHIN for me, pardon me, is VERYVERY OVERATED considering he fought peple in his OWN WEIGHT CLASS ONLYmost of which he dwarfed or is much more smaller than him) to survive an onslaught like that BUT my point is SHANE can deliver MORE BOMBS in the same span of time...
PLUS SHANE NEVER NEVER CRACKS under pressure..HE is COOL and COMPOSED...not much of a big FAN of SHANE but im a FAN of his (also of MARG too)...
what do you think about this fight (PLEASE LEAVE ALL biases BEHIND of BEING MEXICAN OR AMERICAN etc and lets asses this fight based on the fighters abilities and tendencies
bump also..........
I bumped this thread because at the time i made thid thread one of the posters who said he will bookmarked this thread upon "margarito's WIN" made me all the more excited to prove my thesis.....

This is a tough one for me to call. All logic says that Margarito will outwork the older Mosley but I'll just say that I will not be surprised is Mosley pulls off the upset.
You know this is one of the major reason why im not fully sold to SHANE...AGE...
How much does he have left?? As the saying goes you are only good as your last fight...Hopefully a refreshed Mosley will show up so we will have a competitive fight...Otherwise it will be a rout by Marg...

Also, I remember people were talking about the comment Mosley made about his pain tolerance, " I can take more punishment then Cotto." They were saying he'd lose because of that mindset, knowing he'd take as much or more punishment from Margo. I think it's the complete opposite. If he can last the 12, and he knows it, he'd got the confidence and mindset to last 12. The rest is his attributes, which we all know, and if used properly he can win.
Good points...
As I said, contrary to common belief, I think if Shane traded bombs with Margo in the middle rounds it could prove favorable to Shane....
You see its like this....If Shane stood toe to toe with Margo and MARGO did not hurt him, could MARG offer something more for him to win the fight other than HIS FAMOUS CHIN? Of course Shane would move a round for the first few rounds of the fight but knowing him and his tendencies he would stick AROUND IN THE POCKET AND TRADE BOMBS.HE DID THIS WITH FERNANDO VARGAS AND MAYORGA WHO ALTHOUGH ARE BOTH PAST PRIME AT THE TIME OF THEIR RESPECTIVE FIGHTS WITH SHANE,STILL ARE BIG PUNCHERS,with both of them having ONE PUNCH ERASER and probably is much more stronger than MARGO.
Saying this, if Shane gains the confidence in taking MARG punches from the early rounds, this will be a more competitive fight and my heart tells me SHANE will put on a good performances worthy of mention in months to come.
BUt like I TOLD YOU MARG IS ONE HELL OF A FIGHTER LIKE MY BOY PAC tenacity and resiliency could win it for him. I COULD BE WRONG YOU KNOW....
I see Margarito walking through Shane just like he walked through Cotto... Margie knows his game... It will be cat and mouse all the same.. If it isn't cat and mouse its a cocky shane...
Remember, to a lot of judges, technical boxing doesn't win a round... If Shane is getting em in... but Margie is hurting shane bad, Margies gonna be taking rounds.. He's liek a brick wall
but it could go either way
If Shane fights a lot like an older version of Shane... with high stamina, 50 clenches a round, but doesn't brawl much... he can win. I always thought Hatton vs Shane wouldf been such a lovely fight, stylewise.

If Shane fights even remotly like he did against Mayorga he's toast! I think Sugar is spent, he has been around along time now and had his fair share of tough fights, Cotto put alot of heavy shots on him and that could have been Mosleys lst great performance.
I can see him getting really beat up from the middle stages on and getting stopped for the very first time down the stretch, which will be sad! The guy just gets tagged too easy these days.
Having said that he still has good hand speed and he has fought bigger stronger men before in Vargas and Winky, Shane has a shot but im backing Tony.
Anyone betting?
ok well i truely apologize if you really are just stating your opinions. There's just too many margarito hate around here for no reason. And I'll be honest by saying I didn't even now you had pac in your avi until i looked at it right now. I can respect un biased mature posts and arguments. Feel free to reply to my first post in this thread and we can debate like grown ups something rare on these boards.
Ok thanks.. I aint got much to argue since my brains tell me its a very tall order for SHANE really..MARG is a beast....Im simultaneously checking now another thread about an appreciation thread for KERMIT CINTRON and know that i realised it...WOAH KERMIT is BIG BIG Puncher and he did not even hurt MARG!!!!wtf
Now come to think of it Im having second thoughts on Shane on my opinion knocking out MARG in the late rounds. Maybe im pushing it a little bit farther by saying Shane can knock him out..i just dont know, there is this thought it might happen....It can... nothing is impossible..Marg's Chin is not made of Iron isnt it? ..well if not a unanimous decision for Shane is not far fetched also...just that there is this little devil in my back calling for a Shane victory although all indication point to MARG....
well i supposed youre a mexican because of your handle (mas puto) and because i have PAC in my avi..If that's not the case then i apologise...but to say that this is a hate thread against MARG is just baseless...I like MARG as well as you do..
I respect your arguments and each one is entitled to his/her own opinions....
It jsut the hate statement im responding to because i dnt agree TOTALLY with it...

ok we're talking about margarito vs shane where the hell do you get mexico? who mentioned mexico? and who in the world mentioned phillipines? I don't look at fighters and see them as a certain race. I like all boxers of different races and yes i enjoy watching paquiao fight very much just in case you are phillipino since you did bring it up.

alot of people will say they like a fighter just so to give the impression that he's not hating but come on just read his posts and his logics.
Reading a lot of his posts the guy doesn't bash anyone. Maybe he just feels Shane can win this.
Im not saying SHANE has the power same as that of OSCAR or TITO...my point is any CHIN can be cracked evn MARGS CHIN...nothing is Impossible in boxing my friend,,, 2008 says ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN....
My friend checkout my SIG...PAC TITO AND MIKE all are ACTION PACKED FIGHTER how in the hell could i not like MARG?? If only he could trade punches ON A DAILY BASIS he would....
My friend pls dnt bring MEXICO vs. PHILLIPINES FEUD here...I like your fighters as much as i like my own country's GOOD fighters....

umm no mayorga's chin is not world class, it's easy to take a punch when you see it, don't be fooled by his hit me tactics. Did you not watch the dlh or tito fight? It take mosley 35:59 minutes to knock mosley out lol and this was an old washed up mayo dlh and tito knocked mayo silly in half the time as a matter of fact tito almost had mayorga out in round 1. Shane couldn't even hurt cotto how by far has the weaker chin between him and margarito so how is shane going to break margarito's chin when he couldn't even hurt cotto's? I think your posts are little more on the hate side, no unbiased person that knows what he's talking about would say the things you are saying.
and BTW I WATCHED all these fight because i, a BIG FAN of TITO and in case you didnt know OSCAR was very popular in the PHILIPPINES and he is one of my youngster boxing fave...True story and NO HATE

It's not hate filled words if he just said he is a fan of Margarito.
