interesting view on "sugar" Shane Mosley

[Pullcounter]

you know i was thinking..is sugar shane more past it than we realize? the reason why i ask is because in his fight before margarito he fought a washed up mayorga who was never anything special and some people actually had mayorga winning up until the KO. and some people may say well he went on to DESTROY margarito which he did handily..but the thing is margarito got caught trying to use plaster in his gloves..some people may say that was the first time margarito tried to do that (which i doubt heavily) but lets say margarito used them previously in his big fights, and of course he couldnt use them against shane because he got caught..how good is margarito without the plaster? could sugar shane have been fighting somebody as good as somebody with a record of like 20-14?..its very interesting when you really think about it..because margarito was the definition of a punching bag in that fight..he looked like someone with NO skill whatsoever..hear me out though, you can disagree with me but you have to admit..its pretty interesting. id like to hear your guys thoughts and opinions.

you have no proof that margo used plaster against cotto and any other of his fights, so you cannot assume that mosley's victory over margo is worthless.

is SSM prime? no.

is SSM the #1 WW? yes

plaster or not margo wasnt gonna land anything anyway. shane imo edged cotto. mosley has been past it for a while now but still remains a great figher...which is quite amazing

this coming from a guy with Shane in his Avi.. Cotto clearly won the fight.. go back and watch it..

IMO - Mosely may be past his "prime" but he stll has the ring intelligence that allows him to still fight a good fight even though he hasn't been so impressive (aside of Margo). He remains to have some speed that argueably more effective than most others in the division.

it wasn't a clear victory. cotto got the decision in MSG.

I bet points on Mosley in the Cotto fight and though I'm a fan of both, picked Mosley to win.
There is no way in hell you can say Mosley edged that fight out. It was a very close fight but Cotto won clearly.

It was a clear victory.. the reason it was as close as it was is because Cotto started to coast around the later rounds since he felt he had already won enough rounds to win.


of course, you always complain about others being haters yet you always go against anything involving cotto so what does your opinion really matter on the subject?

i've watched the fight at least 5 times... and everytime i got cotto winning by 2 rounds.. without bieng biased...

people need to get of the BALCO. shane admitted and the courts handled it well imo. i can see if he wouldve came out there on some i didn't do it.
