Thanks for the reply and I agree with everything u said except for Mosley beating Cotto. Tough close fight, if Mosley got the nod in the fight I wouldn't say a word. Could of went the other way, just as easy
Absolutely agree! I hope it is a great fight but i find it hard to believe that Mosley has found the fountain of youth like he got from the Margarito fight. Lets break down the last six years of Mosley.
Coming off the back to back losses to Winky in 2004, which clearly winky just had his number, he takes on David estrada and decisions him in 2005. I dont know about you but Sugar clearly won but didnt look great doing so. I started having doubts than whether or not he still had.
hard to get up for a david estrada fight, ho hum fight but not as hohum. as floyd looked vs baldo
In early 2006 and summer of 2006 he gave Vargas two old fashioned ass whoopings, which it looked like he was starting to pick up steam again.
Than in 2007, he vowed to move back down to 147 (where all the money was and where he has always been a much more effective fighter) and he took on Collazo. Luis is a tough fight for anyone and decisioned him. I'm not taking anything away from this fight because Collazo would be a tough out for packy and floyd as well. Not saying he would beat them but I dont think they would beat the snot out of him or even look good doing so.
Fall 2007 he got his shot against the undefeated Cotto, who was slowly becoming the darling of boxing (this was before packy beat oscar). The picking was right and if he wins here, the skys the limit (Mayweather, Oscar, Hatton). But instead he was outpointed by a slower come forward type fighter. Now you can claim that Cotto was primed and this fight was before he got beat the hell out of with a brick, but he came up short in a close fight IMO. this was an extremly close fight and i thin shane won the second half of the fight by a few points
Almost a full year later he takes on Mayorga and KO's him in final seconds of the fight. Although Mosley was up on all 3 judges scorecards. It was a closer fight than it looked.mayorga fought a pretty good fight, awkward and respected shane's power all fight
Finally we get to the Margacheato fight, thankfully Brother Richardson found the bricks in the cheating bastards gloves or Sugar could of seriously been hurt. I dont care what anyone says but there is not a doubt in my mind that this **** sucker cheated against cotto and ruined him (another story, a different time).
Im not taking anything away from this win, but seriously though. How much did the Cotto war take out of Marge?? i think more than we think.
By about the third round, Mosley figured out Marges pattern and tee'd off on him. I felt as if I was watching the same 30 second replay for 6 rounds because Mosley just kept doing the same thing and Marge would not change.this happens all the time in floyds fights, please
Now looking back just this last 6 years, if you really think Mosley has more than a punchers chance against the most skilled fighter of our era, I'm not going to say you are foolish or in denial. I love the fact you are standing by your fighter and you have hope! Good Luck and Lets Get Ready 2 RUMBBBLLEEE! i really don't want to do it again, but keep it up and you may have me embarrass you by reviewing/critiquing the last 7 years of floyd's career, LOL!!!! Good luck to you and your boy too.[/QUOTE]
