Why did Mosley look like crap in all his fights after the Margarito fight?

Flom0 senses tingling They actually believe it too.

A combination of wearing down, age and just fighting for a check.

He looked ****e vs Mayorga too. Even vs Cotto he was evidently past his best

I think he was juiced up majority of his career.

I think it's a combination of things. For some reason few want to admit the possibility that Margarito outgrew the welterweight division, and may have taken a little something out of himself cutting that few extra pounds. That and/or he cut weight too drastically. His mind may have been effected by everything that took place in the dressing room. Let's not dismiss overconfidence; he just beat the guy that beat a younger Mosley. Give Mosley credit too, he came in there with a gameplan and executed it brilliantly. And frankly, stylistically, Margarito was everything Mosley had ever wanted in an opponent. It could be everything I said, some, or none of it, either way, I don't think you can narrow it down to one specific reason. Also, after the fight Mosley hadn't stepped into a ring until 15 months later. That's a pretty long break for a 38 year old...and then to get in the ring and do it against Floyd Mayweather of all people. Floyd's not going to make it any easier. Before the Margarito fight we suspected he was finished, the Mayweather fight just reminded us why, and the Mora fight confirmed it. I'm one of the suckers who actually thought there's a chance Mosley might look a little of his old self versus Manny. Manny is probably the exact opposite of Sergio Mora. Manny gives his opponents opportunities to shine, often times he'll come straight forward, and I thought he'll put himself in a position to test Mosley's power and there would be exchanges. So I was thinking the fight would be better than others expected it to be. Mosley had other plans in mind that night.

Its simple really, the Margarito win was fools gold. Mosley was already on the decline but when he stepped into the ring with a shook Margacheato that just minutes earlier had been busted with plaster wraps, Mosley was able to look good against an ovverated bum. Who knows how long Cheato had been using the plaster to pile up the W's. Without them he probably would be just another stepping stone fighter. People thought that Shane was back after that fight but in reality he was already on the decline. Couple that with a year and a half layoff after that and he was exposed against Floyd, Mora, Pac, and finally Canelo. Shane never had a late career comeback, he had one win four years ago that in hindsight really meant nothing.

A bordering-shot fighter looks only as good as his opponent. Take a look at RJJ for example: Easily beats a way passed it, inactive, much smaller Trinidad, a shot Jeff Lacy but can't do a damn thing against Calzaghe or Hopkins. Mosley looked great in his fight with Margarito because Marg was slower than retarded molasses and he didn't have his plastered wraps. He met a fighter who wasn't overwhelmed by his aggression and got stronger as the fight went on as opposed to wearing down. Marg had no answer because what he pretty much relied on his whole career didn't work. Easily one of the most overrated fighters in recent times. Sorry chicos but you need to pull your head out of your asses. Spot on Derranged

This is an eyebrow raiser. I think it was because of the whole PEDs thing.

Shane fought better fighters they why he looked worst than fighting a glorified journeyman bum in Margarito

Age and the 16 month lay-off between Margo and Floyd. A lay-off that long just kills a fighter Shane's age. Dunno about all the PED stuff, but I know he'll look crap against Paulie too. What a ****ty fight.

Their's no doubt on my mind that he was on the PED's that night against margo....just look at his face, his body and how he got stronger as the fight went on... His next fight floyd made him take the blood test and his face looked way different and his stamina was sh1t on roids http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/photos/uncategorized/2009/01/23/margaritomosley.jpg without roids (notice the swollen face a side effect of a person who stopped roiding) http://pinoyambisyoso.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Mayweather_vs_Mosley_weigh_in_photos.jpg That's just insane. Mosley admitted to steroid use too, I'm not giving a former cheat the benefit of the doubt. Canelo pretty much finished Mosley's career though.

he was always shot and according to floyd fans margarito was exposed as a fraud. so mosley only beat a fraud yet these same people pretend that mayweather's win over mosley was great.

think roy jones vs jeff lacy lol, just kiddin, it was a good win by floyd

This This here is whyU floyd dick riders are hilarious. In 2008 mosley fought mayorga after having a good fight with cotto. In that fight mosley looked awful n shot to ****. Then early 2009 he fought margarito that was attempting to use bricks vs him. Margarito is perfect style for him slow plodding with no defense with no bricks. Mosley made it look easy because style wise it was perfect for him not because all of a sudden hes not shot no more. Then a year later in 2010 he had a full training camp to fight berto but berto pulled out at the end. Floyd then fought him four months later and made easy work vs a shot fighter who hadn't fought in 16 months was shot n had possibly overtrained. It was a good win for floyd but lets be real mosley was done prior to marg fight he just had a perfect style match up for marg

Mayweather ruined him. Did you see how mayweather landed every punch he threw for the last 10 rounds, mayweather effectively ended his career after mosley was coming off of the best win of his career. After mosley drew with crappy mora Poochiao said whoa its finally safe to fight mosley now, good thing we ignored him when he agreed to fight at 144 after his margarito win he would have teared me a new ******* but now that hes shot we can fight. Oh BTW, bob arum wants you to sign with him or no fight. You got to be kidding try no Roids

The Roid gig was up. After juicing with EPO The Clear since moving up to welter he was nothing with out them. I do think he used roids agonist Canelo though but it didn't help

because he was shot

Margarito was the perfect style for him.
