What shocked me about the Mosley-Margarito fight

[Mr. Ryan]

ain't that the truth. What a shame it is with such great talent he has.

Remember when 140 was the talk of boxing with all of those great fights? They never happened and Mayweather went to 147. And then none of those great fights happened either.

It seems to be a thing among some modern boxers. When Vernon Forrest was asked by a writer recently why he wasn't entertaining the idea of fighting his mandatory Sergio Martinez, he replied "I'm in the fight business, not the fight game."

These Wall Street boxers are ruining the sport. The matchmaking in UFC makes boxers look like chumps.

wtf?

out of all people vernon forrest? he couldn't draw flies to ****.

[Mr. Ryan]

yup

i'm afraid pavlik might be on that boat.

When a boxer stops learning and evolving, they're dead in the water. Pavlik needs to show in his next few fights the desire to improve and adapt or we can expect judicious matchmaking on his behalf in the future.

Hence his irrelevance.

maybe if he learns how to triple his jab?

[Mr. Ryan]

maybe if he learns how to triple his jab?

Or getting his heels off the canvas.

[pigdestroyer]

He had no head movement but still, holding your hands up and not giving too much of a target is some form of defense.

Yeah, I understand that. I saw him attempting to hold, and stay on the ropes (not saying that's a defense, but he tried to stay on the ropes to keep his ass up)

Shane was smart though. Gotta love a mastermind at work.

I should have seen it coming. I put a lot of stock into each fighter's previous fights, which is never a good thing given the significance of styles.

Mayorga is just a tough fighter to prepare for because he is so unpredictable with where his punches come from. He is unconventional that it can be hard to look good against him.

Wrap your mind around this:

Mosley has knocked out Ricardo Mayorga and Antonio Margarito, two of the hardest chins in the sport over the last decade.
