What shocked me about the Mosley-Margarito fight

[pigdestroyer]

Now, I've read many people say that if Margo is caught, then he probably cheated against Cotto.

If he is caught against Mosley do any of you, who called Cotto "Quitto" or a quitter, think this will alleviate his quitting against Antonio Margarito? This is, of course, with the logic, "Once a cheater, always a cheater."

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

I never thought Mosley had the same knockout power he did at the lower weight classes, but this is impressive. I always liked the way he throws his whole body behind his punches....he puts everything behind them.

What first impressed me about Mosley is his amazing body punching. He broke down the very tough John John Molina with body punching, did the same thing to a lot of very tough fighters. He is a man among men.

Mosley is the wrong guy to square up in front of. He is a physical beast.

I knew Mosley's chin was as good as Margarito's but I didn't expect a complete domination. I had the pleasure of meeting Mosley, and he's a great guy too.

I've never met Mosley but I know his former trainer John David Jackson. Still, U > Me.

I got a pic with him in Vegas once during the Hopkins-Wright fight. We talked about him fighting Mayweather and how he wanted that fight badly, he also said he could take Cotto.

Yeah but you'd think a guy who has been a professional since he was 16 who fought in the gym all these years would know how to clinch. Cotto has the same issue.

I don't know if you've seen the video interview here on BS with Cotto but he actually says he doesn't like to clinch and doesn't view it as a legitimate strategy. He went on to say he likes to fight clean. My mouth dropped. Miguel Cotto a professional prizefighter, champ in 2 weight classes said this. Sheer ignorance for him of all people to say that. I've been worried ever since for him. Someone needs to ***** slap him and say, "Are you a crazy person??"

Perhaps he needs a fresh perspective in the corner whose perspective he respects.

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.

I was thinking the same thing and with Arum as his promoter you can be sure about that.

[Silencers]

Once a fighter breaks, it's easier for him to break a second time. I think a knockout affects you mentally, as well as physically. For a fighter to take the punches all night, he must have the confidence that he can continue to do so while carrying out his own game plan. Getting KO'ed the way Margarito did will affect his confidence down the line.

That can definitely happen to Margarito but we won't know for sure until he gets back into the ring again against a relatively big puncher but it wouldn't surprise me if his chin is cracked and his confidence shattered.
