Mosley was on PEDs and Margo was a mentally destroyed man that night. That's why
Floyd made sure Mosley was off the "sugar" when they fought, that's why he gassed after 2 rounds.
True shame the Berto fight got cancelled and Arum protecting Pacquiao from him he had a couple of good fights in him before the long layoff
Yeah it was the Haiti earthquake which stopped it as well wasn’t it? I would’ve picked Mosley in that fight, I was never sold on Berto
There were number of factors. Mosley went in there with a psychological advantage knowing that his opponent tried to cheat against him. He went in there thinking like fuk this this mutherfukwr tried to cheat and jeopardize my life. On top of that Margarito was tailor made for him. A face first brawler vs A quick fisted boxer puncher. We know how that turns out most of the time.
After the Margarito fight he never fought for like 16 months, he may have regressed a lot over that period.
Also more cynically- PEDS.

It's true he never looked that explosive again. Maybe his old age caught up with him after that fight. Maybe he used PEDs for that fight and not for fights after that. I don't know.
Haha another threads that's really about Floyd.
Well, he was 38 going on 39 and was out of the ring for 16 months afterwards and on top of that probably off the juice and then fact Margarito was nothing without his wraps. It's no mystery that was really Mosley's only good performance since 2001.
But after that fight all the explosiveness seemed to vanish
