      mosley was never hurt against margo. at most, mosley said margo's punches kept him from being lulled into a false sense of security since it is so easy to hit margo flush.

        go watch what mosley said right after the fight ended

        hint: he said margo hurt him, but he clinched to avoid him from following up and hurting him badly. of course, he changed that version of the story when he was interviewed later by espn, where he said that the plaster wouldn't have made any difference on the outcome

          i know the quote in question. he said that he got hit and it woke him up. he was never in trouble of getting stopped.

              I'd like to see a fight between Cotto and JMM if they both win their next fights. That would be a super fight if there ever was one. I know most people think Cotto would automatically win because of his size, but what about those uppercuts he would have to deal with coming from unpredictable angles.

                Marquez is way more skilled than Cotto, but Cotto would destroy him. He is just too big and powerful, and nothing Marquez throws would even faze him.

                    it doesnt make a difference who is the better boxer because if you put jmm in the ring with cotto he gets smashed. pound for pound jmm is better than kelly pavlik but i wouldnt like his chances in that fight

                      To be fair, I'll look at what both guys do in their next fights to make a prediction. But believe it or not, I lean toward JMM. He might not KO Cotto with one punch, but he would bust him up and win a UD or get a late round stoppage.
