    That is exactly what I was thinking as I watched it.

    A younger, rising star, being outsmarted by an old vetran, with the help of ****m Richardson These old guys need to stop beating the future stars!

      It didn't surprise me that Mosley outboxed Margarito and it didn't surprise me that by comparison he made Margarito look very slow. What did surprise me was the fact that Mosley both hurt and stopped Margarito. I didn't think it could be done.

      In reality Margarito has and always will be a fairly ordinary boxer with excellent workrate, a good chin and good power. If you can take him out of his rhythm, slow him down with work to the body, he can be made to look silly like last night. Cotto had a horrible gameplan for their fight and could have done a similar thing to Mosley, although perhaps without stopping him.
