Insider Notebook: Margarito vs. Mosley is Getting Close

[Deadbirds]

Margarito is young and hot as of this moment ! And Shane has been on the decline ! I think Margarito wins ! But I'll be rooting for Mosley !

[toluco]

at least we will know if there isnt an official announcement by the time of rjj vs joe the fight is probably off

[dondi330]

Pretty close

I think this fight is a toss up with a slight edge to Margarito. Shane is used to boxing for 12 rounds, sticking and moving, excellent skills, while Cotto was more seek and destroy. When Cotto fought Margarito he fought in a manner he wasnt used to, which is basically stick and move and box, thats Shanes thing....Shanes age is why I give Margarito a slight edge.

Mosley better take this fight cause it could be his last big opportunity. If he beats Margarito he is then in line to fight: Cotto in a rematch and/or Mayweather if he does return or hell maybe even Pacman if the little ****er pulls it off. If he wins and Oscar wins they could even fight each other for a farewell fight as long as they both promise to retire afterwards.............

shane chin is harder than cotto. matter of fact has shane ever been cut or swollen real bad

shane stamina is better than cotto. even in has loses he fought til the end

shane is faster than cotto.

tony really aint hitting that hard. he wears fighter down

tony will be an easy target for shane

if tony gets close shane will move or clinch.

when they trade shane will get his off first. note to tony fans: tony is slow & wide.

**** will end up looking like floyd/baldimere or bhop/pavlik

the only rounds tony win are the rounds shane take off. normally 5 6 & 7.

[Undefeated]

People who think an Old Mosley will UD Tony by boxing using the (Hopkins Vs Pavlik) routine is probably out their mind.

Mosley will have the hardest time keeping Tony off of him. No one can do what Hopkins has done. Only person I can see pulling it off is probably Mayweather at this point.

Hard fight either way.. I don't think Mosley will prevail though. Tought to call. If he does.. All the props to him, but I doubt this fight even gets made.

I think Shane's going to get destroyed in there man. It might look OK early. If he's even competitive for 12 rounds, I'll be shocked.

[-Hyperion-]

how people can think shane has a chance is beyond me....he is hittable as ****, has zero jab, has bad movement.......he is basically a tough, fast, powerful guy.........if margarito wasnt even more durable, then shane would have a chance, but thats not the case....

Margarito by TKO.....Ill cry if it happens...Shane is one of my faves.....i doubt this figt gest made though, shane knew he would get beat, thats why at first he made some time table excuse that only ignorant people bought.....

hhhhmmmmm.....

Why would GBP try to set up a card on the same day it's help running another card?

[roujinziro]

I really hope they don't do Marquez-Vasquez IV. These guys shorten their careers everytime they go at it. The money is going to have to be HUGE for it to be worth it. Plus they're really holding up the rest of the division by doing so. I'd rather see them both take on the other champs in the division, and maybe unify later on (if either of them make it that far).
