is margarito on his prime when he got KOd by mosley?

[MR.CHICANITO]

Let me get this straight...he was in his prime 6 months ago against Cotto but six months later not....lol
Or was he past his prime and thats why he needed to use Plaster?
Personally at age 30 I believe he is at his best right now with or without plaster.
I cant remember him better and don't see his chin getting any stronger as the years go by.

yes he's still in his prime its just all the hard fought wars begin to take there toll on his body..the guy has faced some tough ass fighters who can punch latley so give him a break

Shane just gave him a break, he broke his face up, with regular wraps...I do hear the war thing, but his style of fighting will make it like that. I mean he is a punch taker, he is like a real life Rocky. He gets punched a lot, no slipping, no out boxing, no agility, not a lot of skill. He has endurance and a chin(and possible plaster).

[TRUE WARRIOR!!!]

margarito has been past his prime since the clottey fight.

^^^^^^^^^^ This guy here reckons that Margarito has been showing signs of gradual deterioration for a while now.



He doesn't have a great rep on the boxingscene.com, but he says he's been watching Tony closely for around 10 years now, so you got to respect and consider it.






However...Shane (himself past prime) beat Tony so definitively, you have to think it would've never made a difference in that particular matchup.

kekekek. its cool being a mexican. ^_^

[Spacey1991]

Of course he was, he just beat Cotto before his fight with Mosley... people who try to make up that Margarito was past his time are just trying to make excuses because there fighter lost. If Shane was 37, and lost to Cotto on points... and Margarito was 30 and KTFO Cotto... how can anybody say that Mosley's win over Margarito was when Margarito was past his prime? It doesn't make sense... it is just people trying to make excuses because they cant take that he lost.

Anyone who believes that Mosley's win over Margarito was only because he was past his prime don't know anything about Boxing... simple as that.

Props to Mosley once again for a fantastic performance.
