Antonio Margarito-Shane Mosley Deal is Reached For 1/24?

[goldenglove2]

It's just ridiculous listening to some of these guys cry about Margarito NEGOTIATING. Margarito...yeah, a champ of SIX years who never once whined about money, never once made some absurd demands and earned his position the old fashioned way. And the fight still got done. In the past two years alone:

Clottey
Williams
Cintron
Cotto
Mosley

In ONE division. I swear, if other fighters were held to similar standards they'd be run out of the game.

TWO YEARS...

why are people oblivious to this??

[TRAVI$]

Will be an exciting fight
Would be great to see Shane win, but I don't see it happening.

Look how many weeks Margarito has been on the list consecutively. Easily the best welter since Felix Trinidad left in 2000.

Is there any champion in any division that has fought all top 5 ranked fighters by the ring? Since paul is vacating his belt and moving up maybe that will move cotto up to #2 and the rematch can also include the Ring Championship, what do you think possible?

[mellow_mood]

margarito is the more proven welterweight @ this moment.... and he put a cherry on the top of it with the cotto win..... who ever denys this....

doesnt know boxing.. or just hate margarito... !

[Kc-hoodsta]

you have to be ****ing kidding me if anyone thinks mosley can beat marg.

unless he boxes and we all know he is not a boxer if he tries to slug it out he will lose.

this is coming fro ma mosley fan himself.

[Pullcounter]

you guys have a point, but pwill beat marg

[mellow_mood]

probably! ^^^^^ im just glad we have guys like margo, williams and cotto !! and 2 bad shane isnt in his prime or at least 5 years younger!
