    If mosley wins what does it do for his legacy?

    and where would it place him among all time greats?

    Shane is 37 years old fighting Margarito who just stopped an undefeated cotto.

    Yeah obviously a win is huge for him.

    To be honest I think his career has been a disappointment to this point. He has pretty much built his legacy on his wins over Oscar and in one of those fights he shouldn't have got the decision and he cheated. I'm not sure anything can be done to repair that tbh.

      I think his 2 wins over Vargas and the fashion he won em in also does good for his legacy!..

        I think he beat a shell of Vargas. He is a decent name to have on the resume but nothing more IMO.

          shane made mistake of not staying at 135 and skipping 140. He went to the money fights with guys bigger than him.

            Mosley is a grea fighter he has beaten top competition at every weight class he has fought in. He rematched both Forrest and Winky right after they beat him with no warm up. He never makes excuses and he always fights the tough fights. DONT TALK BAD ABOUT SHANE!!!1 You don't know the half about how many other fighters are tainted and using performance enhancing drugs. he made a mistake he admited it and he is moving on....Lefty

              true danc i think when alot of ppl look back over shanes career they will think that he could have been a tru great, but i dunno somethings just didn't go for him i thought he should have cleaned out 140 before moving up to 147. he was a great young fighter he had it all, he just didn't take advantage of it, hes been one of my favourite fighters for so long, i was gutted to hear that he really did cheat before the fight with dlh.

                He'll get a lotta cred for it, especially cuz he's late in his career.

                  At this stage in Mosley's career, a win for him over Margarito would be the same as Bhops win over Pavlik.

                    Agreed 100% with you sir...Also agreed about being disturbed over finding out he cheated. Whether he knew it or not facts are facts.....I know what I ut in my body he should know what he is utting in his.....I still love Shane and he is my fav....So I hope he can with stand the tornado and come out victorious....Lefty
