    mosleys struggle against mayorga is highly exaggerated...

    most people just see a 37 year old man on paper and hype themselves up into believing this was the primary reason for his bad fight.....mosley is moving down in weight so on fight night he will basically be equal to the guy he is facing....most importantly....fact is mayorga has an awkward style, he is difficult for orthodox boxers to figure out....cory spinks would have lost to him if he wasnt decked 2 penalty points....

    Any fighter would rather fight Mayorga than Margarito, 10 times out of 10

    A guy that you cant hurt, who doesnt stop coming forward, who throws 100+ punches a round, from all different angles.. and every one of them has power.

    Goodluck.

        On paper Margarito is unbeatable but in the ring we all know thats not true.

        I give Mosley a big chance to win this.

          I think this is why Shane was cautious against Mayorga, because of the extra weight, style, and power. Regardless of the outcome of this fight, I think he will look better.

            lol Yeah.

            Margarito wont be able to outsize Mosley like he does everyone else.

              also i think mosleys struggle against taller boxers is exaggerated...vernon forrest has a great jab, more explosive power then margarito is how he hurt mosley, and remember how much he clinched in both fights....wanky wright has is hard to hit cleanly and has a great jab.....margarito is easy to hit all he wants to do is come in close for uppercuts...cotto got trapped on the ropes i dont think experienced boxers do this....easier said then done we will confirm next saturday

                Mosley is gonna be competitive make no mistake...his chin will allow him to stand in there whereas Cotto has to get on his bike from round 2 on just to get by...

                I still like Margarito but it will be alot tougher then most think...Mosley is a great fighter even at this stage in his career.
