Shane Mosley's destruction of Margarito.

It was all mental for shane! Shane had the confidence knowing that he knew the Mexican boxing style all to well. He mentioned that fact in alot of pre-fight interviews. Mosley was confident that his style matched perfectly against the traditional come forward, head first style that Margarito fights with. He trained with Mexicans early in his amatuer and professional career. Mental confidence can be more empowering than anything!

makes me wonder if marg is weak to the body. once shane hit him to it a few times marg started to fold, it was clearly visiable by rd 5 that the fight wasnt going the distance.

COTTO DONT HAVE THE TOUGHNESS TO DO IT OR THE HEART..hes too weak i think he has the toughness and heart but he just doesnt have the chin and stamina

I just watched the fight again and I'm noticing even more so now than when I saw it live how one sided this fight actually was. IMO Mosley did what Cotto was supposed to do but failed to execute, he had a solid plan and he systematically broke Margarito down. That huge right bomb to the stomach in the very first round, dang! Any how, aside from the body attack and holding on the inside, do you guys see anything else that gave Shane such a lopsided victory while so many others have been dominated by Marg? I'd like to hear opinions excluding the pending investigation of the wraps, that doesn't serve as an reason as the results are pending. he also stayed off the ropes and and jabbed margarito with hard jabs to the body and the head instead of flicking range finder jabs

Mosley's destruction of Margarito ranks right up there with Hopkin's destruction of Trindad, Lewis' destruction of Tyson, Mayweather's destruction of Corrales, Pacquio's destruction of both Morales and Barrera, and Calzhage's destruction of Lacy as the greatest single fight dominations of this decade. Mosely was simply Picasso that night. Margarito would have needed a gun to beat him

I think his mentality helped a lot. He came right at Margarito, and didn't run. He stood his ground, and managed to overpower Margarito inside (One of the most suprising aspects IMO). Also, the combination of his power and fantastic speed, I think the face Marg couldn't see the punches coming as well probably increased their effect on him. Solid point, I think I rarely saw Shane moving backward. I can only recall seeing him move to the ropes once or twice.

I've watched the fight at least 5 times now.. HBO version and top rank....

Also known as Margarito's self-inflicted destruction. yup...........
