    At the current Moment, Margarito is more popular then Mosley although Mosley is definetly the more respected name in the sport
    Prove that! I totally disagree! SSM beat OSCAR twice. SSM has been on the big stage for years. Multi division champ! And Margie beat an up and coming Cotto with jus a PR fan base! Did SSM fight in the olympics?????? Did Margie???????

There aren't many fights around where he could get a better offer.
      no way should mosley get 50-50. And don't say he's a draw because his last fight was in front of 5,000 + fans free on HBO. **** even and old out of shape vargas got a ppv date with mayorga something mosley didn't do.

        How much credit do you give Joe Calzaghe for beating the brakes off of Roy Jones?

          You forgot to add that the Mayorga fight was in an 8,000 seat tennis arena. Not Staples Center, not the LA Sports arena, but the Home Depot Center tennis arena.

          People are really overestimating Shanes value.

              Margarito is the champion, belts is what helps you negotiate a fight, guess what shane has none! he lost to miguel cotto, he looked like **** against mayorga in front of 5,000 fans. Mosley is no longer a draw ask any casual they will probably say "that dude still fights". I promise you at this stage of their careers margarito puts more people in the seats than shane does. If this fight were to take place in Vegas it would be 8-2 in favor of margarito just like it was the day of the cotto fight.

                  and Shane has been a name opponent for over 8 years now.

                  Tony has all of 3 months since the Cotto fight.


                  Huge difference there, HUGE.

                    as of right now Margarito is a bigger draw than Mosley

                    it maybe hard for you to fathom but given the pulls, the fans for each, and the fans that each brought in to their last fights he is
