"Plaster had nothing to do with it, Margarito is just superior fighter" -Mosley

WBA welterweight champion Sugar Shane Mosley was ringside for the debut of Golden Boy Promotions new “Fight Night Club” boxing series on Thursday night on Versus at Nokia Club at L.A. LIVE. Mosley talked about Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito. Here is what Sugar Shane had to say or you can check out the video (Note: The fights were held at a night club, so the sound quality is a little rough because of the bass coming from the sound system at times): On a potential fight against Manny Pacquiao: “I feel (Top Rank chairman) Bob Arum is throwing him off the trail. I think Pacquiao probably wants to. He would fight me. I know that. He is a warrior. He’ll fight anybody. I think his people are trying to see what happens with (Floyd) Mayweather (Jr.) and (Juan Manuel) Marquez.” On what other possible opponents he would want to face: “I’m not really excited about any other fight than Mayweather or Pacquiao. The only other fight I can think about is (against Miguel) Cotto. “But I think Cotto and (Antonio) Margarito will end up getting it on because of the plaster and whatever he said. I don’t think the plaster had anything to do with it. Me, really, I think not. I think if you look at the fight with Margarito and Cotto, Cotto was hitting Margarito all night and nothing happened. I was hitting Margarito in the first round and he was feeling my shots. Margarito was hitting Cotto with so many good shots all day long. Margarito didn’t land those shots against me. So I don’t think it makes a difference. “I would love to see what happens, really what happens. I pretty much know. It’s nothing gonna change, I don’t think. Cotto gonna get off to a big start and he’ll have to figure out how to run to get outta there, because Margarito is gonna catch up to him.” On the possibility of Margarito possibly fighting in Tijuana, Mexico, while he is suspended in the U.S.: “I think that Margarito wants to show the world that he’s a great fighter, that he’s a warrior. I don’t think he’ll go in there and fight anybody else except for Cotto, because Cotto is the only one that’s really been making the big noise about Margarito cheating and all that stuff. I really don’t believe it. I think Margarito is the superior fighter. If you look at the fight, he landed a lot of shots on Cotto and Cotto never hurt him. “That’s it, Cotto never hurt him. Margarito hit him with so many shots and Margarito didn’t hit me with any shots. Margarito hit me with one uppercut to the head. But he didn’t hit me with anything.” On fighting Margarito: “They said when I fought Margarito, they thought that I was gone, that I wasn’t going to be washed up, that I was too old. They’ve seen that I wasn’t. Now they know.” http://punch.freedomblogging.com/2009/06/12/sugar-shane-on-pacquiao-mayweather-and-much-more/5065/

So if they never would of checked Margarito's gloves and he fought Mosley and beat him... Then if they found out his gloves were loaded Mosley would of said, "oh well it doesnt matter his gloves were loaded cause he was still the superior fighter"... yeah ****in' right, FOH Mosley

Anotha thread on this huh? Marg may have cheated. We don't know. But Marg by style was all wrong for Cotto from the start, which is why in the absence of proof, I don't have a problem believin he KO'd him fair n square. Cats gotta get off this shit.

This is pretty pathetic on Mosley's part. I really hope he gets shut out of the big fights now.

Why did Cotto quit? and Williams, Clottey, Sergio Martinez didn't? if you watch the clottey fight it kinda looks like he didn't want to fight anymore but his corner kept urging him on and the martinez fight was stopped

237 Power Punches too. Most to the body. They hate facts when it isn't their boxer. people only take punch stats seriously if they favor their fighter but if it doesn't favor their fighter then people say the punch stats are bullshit. if you go by punch stats that would mean you think that cotto was winning the fight being that cotto outlanded margarito in 7 of the 11 rounds

Mosley can't get a fight with Cotto,Pac,or Mayweather so why doesn't he just stay put and await the outcome. Everyone wants to fight PBF or Pac. But they're trying to fight eachother. SSM should focus on trying to secure a fight with the winner. The best way to do that is to try and unify with the winner of the Cotto vs Clottey fight. If he gets Clottey then that ought to be an interesting match but if not he can get a crack at revenge with Cotto.

http://www.hbo.com/boxing/events/2009/0124_margarito_mosley/columns/instant_update.html Punch-stats, shane is only human and if Margarito was allowed to cheat and use plaster Margarito would have landed more then 108 punches. How would having plaster magically give you the ability to land your shots?

SSM is just talking out of his ass to hype himself in a posible fight against PAC since Cotto seems to be the first-runner-up at the moment. SSM knows better thn to try to act like a dick, when he is a nice person. I won't pay too much attention to his words under the current circumtances. SSM has always expressed his respect for Cotto. Shane is just barking up at all the available money trees... and see what might fall down.

Steroid brain needs to take a breather....MArgarito got caught with plasters for their match so it just shows, Shane supports cheating. He sounds like he's used plaster before.
