Shane Mosley: "Margarito Beat Cotto With Heart, Not Skill"

[twinchrome44s]

Shane will take Cotto's fight blueprint..add in three elements, lateral movement, body shots and some clinching and win an easy UD. Mosley is slightly faster than Cotto which will make Margarito look extra slow to the judges. An efficient boxer will always beat a brawler provided he maintains boxing through the whole fight.

Man, the closer the fight gets I keep getting this weird feeling that Mosley's going to win. I've gone on record predicting Margarito UD, but I'm starting to feel like Tony is going to have to stop Shane to win.

When Tony wins rounds they're not always that clear because he gets hit clean so much, even when he's dominating. If this fight goes to the cards Shane's really got a shot, and I think it's gonna go to the cards...

exactly how i have felt all alone.

never know i could be wrong cause marg is as tuff as they come but i'm sticking with mosley.

[deemo]

Are you ******?

all this means is that most posters will still (maybe not all) respond or if not ...just to prove my point I will respond.
And I suppose if Mosley wins all the Margarito supporters will not respond either?
I think not.

ive been called that a few times.

but most of these hardcore margarito fans will probably stay away for a few days.

i'm not talking about the ones that are just picking marg to win, i am talking about the ones that get pissed just cause someone is going against him.

If landing a perfectly placed body punch in the 2nd round that set the tempo for the rest of the fight is will and not skill, than Mosley is absolutely right!

. Mosley is slightly faster than Cotto which will make Margarito look extra slow to the judges.

WTF are you talking about mosley looked f***ING sluggish against Mayorga, and his speed right now isn't as fast as Cotto's was in the Margarito fight.

An efficient boxer will always beat a brawler provided he maintains boxing through the whole fight.

Tell that to Cotto and JMM, both are very efficient boxers, and they both fought brawlers(Marg and Pac) and the result was that they weren't able to keep up.

I don't think Mosley can hit Margarito with more power than Cotto hitted Tony. The best chin in the business will take everything Mosley has to offer. Everyone knows Margarito can be outboxed. The problem is to accomplish the job. Cotto couldn't. Mosley... it's totally arguable. Margarito wins!

true that, marg's pressure will get to him......

[DuttyAlacrity]

"Sugar" Shane Mosley has his own take on the biggest win of Antonio Margarito's career, which was last July's eleventh-round knockout of previously undefeated Miguel Cotto. He doesn't feel that Margarito is a better fighter than Cotto. He doesn't believe that Margarito beat Cotto with the use of skill. He says Margarito was able to win the fight with his heart by breaking Cotto down in the last two rounds of the contest. [details]

that's a fair enough assessment

Just like Trinidad wouldn't be anywhere without his power right?? If Marg has no skills then Trinidad deff doesn't have any either...remember what happened when he boxed "boxers"??


Anyways, I think this fight will be exciting. Even at an older age, Mosley is still dangerous, even if his last fight with Mayorga wasn't his best. I still have Margs winning, but not by a blowout.

I forgot all about you chicanita!
I forgot that all opinions when dealing with you have to do with the ethnicity of the boxer...so allow me to stoop to snake, dumb and **** level......
Yeah and just like Julio Cesar Chavez without all his fake whens.
Hows that for dumb?

[dondi330]

wow, you are f.ucking ******ed.

where would ali be without his speed?

where would jones ever be without his crazy reflexes and speed?

where would tito be without his power?

where would malignaggi be without his jab? (lol)

get the f.uck outta here with that bull****, THAT'S HOW HE FIGHTS.

Listen Dummy...jabs, skill, experience, power, reflexes, speed are aspects of boxing that one trains for.... a chin is something the bus driver or a school teacher can have naturally. Duh

Margarito will retire Mosely on heart and power punches. That said, I like Mosely and I'd hate to see him go out on a brutal knockout loss, which is what I think will happen on the 24th. But Mosely wanted this fight, props to him for that.
