    Mayorga being a better fighter than Margarito is debatable. In my estimation, Margarito is a better all around fighter, but everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. Why do you so strongly believe Mayorga to be a better fighter? what skills does he possess that so greatly and clearly distinguish him from Margarito. If anything, I'd say they have a similar style
    They do have a similar style. Margarito is essentially what Mayorga was in his prime. One thing i will give Margarito is that he is and was always far more disciplined than mayorga.

    But i think Mayorga has a better jab, better speed and more power.

      Better jab, yeah, we all know Margarito's jab is his jaw. Better speed,that too. Power, I don't know about that. They both have decent power. From what I have observed Margarito's overall technique is better. His swings doesn't have as many loopholes as Mayorga's. We've all witness the haymakers and windmills. I'm not saying that Margarito has flawless technique,but it's not as bad as el matador's. Margarito also has better ring generalship,sets up his opponents well,has a higher boxing IQ, and executes his game plan. Mayorga just goes out there and gives us some much needed entertainment. A classic case of all brawn and no brains. But, I don't mean that in a derogatory or bemeaning way, just in a strict boxing sense.

          People also forget that just 2 fights back Mosley was literally 2seconds away from losing a UD against Mayorga.
          It was an ugly fight but Mosley was winning on the score cards so no he wasn't 2 seconds away from losing.
          __________

          Anyway Mosley would beat Clottey. Clottey has the tools to win this fight he's just not active enough he fights at a slow pace that wouldn't make Shane's age apparent.

            So far it's 22-8 in favor of Mosley. I thought it would be a bit closer than that. I guess most people believe Maywheather chose the toughest opponent.

              Mosley should be an Easy Work for Clottey. Mosley would beat the hell out of Fraud Jr though

                Not so sure about that...sylistiaclly Clottey matches well against Shane IMO. He is a defensive fighter with a high guard who times you coming in and moving out and picks his spots to engage....but always behind the guard first.....a bit like Winky.........

                I see Clottey giving Shane some big problems if they fight......
