    To me it is Mosley. I favored Margarito to win by a solid margin, and Mosley never really been the greatest technical boxer. He was great tonight and fought the best fight I have seen him fight in a long time (not once did I have to throw **** at my TV and scream Mosley ****ing do something).


    With B-Hop I learned a long time ago to never count him out, so even though I favored Pavlik I always had don't count out B-Hop at the back of my mind.

      Hard to say, Pavlik was sick and BHop had the weight advantage but Pavlik was undefeated. Margarito has losses and a recent great win and Mosley fought him at WW. The reality is both guys simply came up with gameplans for predictable opponents so neither win was a shock to me. Ill go with Mosley being the bigger upset though since I thought he was shot and going to be lethargic and run out of gas but seemed to have lots of energy tonight.

        no i believe you, your a very credible poster. One of the elite here.
        The fight went exactly as I thought it would, I didn't like the look on Margarito's face when he was walking to the ring, Mosley did exactly what I thought he would.

          LOL somehow manny knew what was going to happen all along.


          going into the fight,

          Steward: I think Roy has a chance. Its going to be a interesting fight, Jim.

          **Calzaghe begins to dominate**

          Steward: well its like I've been saying, this fight is all wrong for Roy due to the styles.


          lol

              On paper, Mosley is a much bigger upset....no advantages in size, weight, or reach, plus all of the distractions. Margarito's only recent loss was a beat in Willaims, and has fougth many title fights. Pavlik had 3 title fights compared to Hopkins 20+...so the gap in experience told me Hopkins would whoop Pavlik.
