Yeah, he is a legendary OLD fighter... he is not in his prime anymore... and i think the fight against cotto proved it, he definitely lost a step... the margarito victory PROVES LITTLE; since it is pretty obvious that margarito relied solely on plaster to win fights... i don't care what anyone says, margarito is not a very skilled fighter, and he was a sitting duck WAITING to be exploited by one of the top welterweights...
that being said, Cotto IS TODAY, while shane is yesterday, err yesterYEAR more like it... And the most important factor to the fighters, and promoters: Mosley does not have as many fans willing to buy pay per views, or buy tickets to the live fight venue... yeah, the name "sugar shane mosley" rings a bell more often that miguel cotto to the non-boxing fan, or casual boxing fan... HOWEVER, there is a huge difference between "knowing" a fighter, and "supporting/liking" a fighter. Look how many people came out to see him KO mayorga? i almost blushed FOR mosley bc i knew he must have felt like a loser when he walked out and saw the stadium not even half filled..
cotto, on the other hand has proved his mettle, and he will bring more money to the table... Plus, cotto is a better boxer than mosley NOW... he proved it by, oh, i dont know, BEATING mosley... honestly, all i should have to say is that cotto beat mosley, and the argument is null and void.... you beat a fighter, you are ahead of him...
god i love being so right to the point where no one else on the board is near my intelligence to rebuff.
also, no one agrees with the fact THAT YOU CANT use deductive reasoning to predict/make fights? we all know by now that you can't say "because he beat him, he will beat him" OR "it took manny two rounds to beat hatton while it took mayweather 10 rounds, thereby manny is better and will beat floyd.." that is the most flawed logic ever...
i love how easily black people throw that racism card when someone STATES THE TRUTH... are there more white or black people on welfare in the united states? and, is it ALARMINGLY disproportionate to the percentage of the total population? HELL YES.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEAAASEEE try and say that there is not exponentially more black people that are on welfare than whites... it's just facts, dude, no racism.... AND, it is also known that black people like black fighters... Who started EVERY SINGLE RIOT that has ever taken place in boxing? oh, yeah, it was a bunch of white businessmen jumping around like ****ing babboons throwing chairs? YEAH, that was white devils fault! it's whitey's fault we are on welfare! "
Lol, the racism is hilarious. So now Margarito's Mexican fans have more money than black fans now?
"because I'm a legendary fighter" ... Shane's high off his ass for saying **** like that.
He is a legendary fighter maybe one day Cotto will be also but he aint wrong for saying that. 30 years from now you will be talking about Shane like you talk about Sugar Ray and Hearns now...Lefty
I also see Pacquiao beating Cotto easier than SSM. In fact Shane is the only fight out there that would concern me. Cotto? Mayweather? Nope. Shane? Yeah. I think it's a bad style matchup for Manny.

These fools don't get it. They celebrate a narrow decision that was razor thin, and completely sweep the fact that Mosley totally demolished the man that gave Cotto te worst beating of his career under the rug. Mosley knocks Cotto out if they have a rematch.
