Antonio Margarito vs. Shane Mosley Heads To January

[marc8989]

I'm picking mosley in a upset even though i know margarito will win. i think if Mosley hurt him he could finish him just because margarito has a hell of a chin doesn't mean he can't be hurt...He was rocked by cotto and beaten badly by cotto without cotto landing body shots, just think of what mosley punches could do to him because mosley has more power than cotto, but both fighters have great chins but both fighters are easy to hit also...and if margarito pressures mosley he will eat counters....I rather see mosley win fight mayweather cause you know he will be watching hoping for mosley's..hes got to come out sometime before its too late...Then margarito and cotto can still fight in june...On paper this fight is even, but i'm cheering for mosley!

Mosley has too much huevos and that will cost him against Margarito.

I'm sure Arum is hoping Margarito stops Mosely in brutal fashion...setting up the rematch with Cotto by Tony beating the fighter that took Cotto to a close 12-round bout.

I like Mosely and would rather not see him get his ass beat, but at this stage (and after seeing him against Mayorga), I think Margarito is WAY too much for him.

The question now is, who will Arum put in the ring with Cotto???

I've been hearing Lujan. I guess they are going for a softer touch since he's coming off of a loss.

and those will likely be Margaritos only two fights in 09 Mosley and Cotto

If it goes to PPV, I think it can do a decent amount. Like 300-350k buys, Mosley is well known and liked by many & Margarito most likely picked up new fans along the way after beating Cotto.

Hell I know I'd buy it..**** is addicting!..

but I don't know u might be right about it doing between those numbers..not too shabby..can't wait to see this go down tho..

Would the belt be on the line?..

I wonder if Shane fighting Ricardo at 154 had anything to do with him not looking as good? He was like 160 on fight night.

I want Shane to pull this through because he has a great chin, and there's no way Margarito's gunna outbox him like Cotto was pretty successful at doing.

[borikua]

Shane is one crazy ****er if he takes this fight. He's too old to be ****ing around with these young cats...Props to him tho.

[MaFu MoFo]

Compared to last year, Mosley looked "old" agaisnt Mayorga. Last year agiasnt Cotto, Mosley was in a much better shape. If age cought up with Mosley, Margarito could win this fight. If Mosley can step in the ring with the same physical condition that he stepped up with Cotto; then we will get an even match up.

I hope this fight ends up at the Staples center

[MJ406]

well in all fairness, how motivated do you think Mosley was for taking on Mayorga?

I'll play that up as a factor as motivationally Sugar Shane went from a PPV date with Zab Judah

to taking on Trinidad+DLH knock out left overs in Ricardo Mayorga .. and at Super Welterweight.

**at this point in his career, and especially with the other available fights out there it would be in Mosley's best interest to remain at Welterweight.

hopefully vs Margarito we can see Shane at 147, and up to task.
