Margarito had to weight drain 35 lbs. against Mosley!

[FerdinandMarcos]

Yes.. HAD because he doesnt have that NOW. But when he fought Pac the speed and movement was there. What he lacked though was technique and a sound game plan.

In fact I could even say he looked slower at the WW (Lazcano) compare when he was at the Jr. WW. The fact that he caught Malignaggi, who is fast and busy, with shots then it says a lot about his speed and movement.

STFU

Ricky fought Lazcano(LIGHTWEIGHT) at 140....not WW...

You see..

You dont even know what you're talking about.

So now Pauli girl is a great opponent....???

Hatton was a shell of himself....he didn't display ANY speed or movment....

Ricky fell straight-in with his hands down..

That's not speed and movement little fella.

Margarito was the welterweight champ,he's spent most of his career there laboring in the shadows avoided by the superstars!!Margarito does know however to stay in relative shape outside of training!!Mosley grabbed Margarito by the ears & face ****ed his cheating a$$ fair & square!!

couldn't have said it better myself

I made a trivial mistake, so what. My argument is still solid... You said Hatton was not fast and has no movement, and yet he was to catch Paulie.. So if he is slow then how the hell was he even able to keep track of Malignaggi's movement??

I didnt say Pauli was a great opponent.. I said Pauli was fast on his feet and has movement which is what you've been arguing the whole time..

Tell me, wasn't the fight 50/50 when it was announced... You are sayin that now because of what Pac did to Hatton in 2 rounds so you assume that he was shot.

Weight drained is never an excuse. Never. He fought Cotto in July and Mosley in January. If he couldn't lose 35 pounds in 6 months, then he's even less of a fighter than I already think of him.

yeah, that was what i was going to point out too. i think that part was total bs or he was just not seriously training. but either way there is holes in his story.

[jrosales13]

Yes it is true, and don't forget about the cheap scale incident. Plus other things that were going wrong in Margarito camp going into the Mosley fight.

Not saying Shane wouldn't have won regardless but yes Marg was drained.

[Mexicunt]

Margaplaster is a shot fighter.

Some people make excuses for him knowing damn well that he lost because he did not have his inserts and his mind was ***ed after loosing his weapons. FACT!!!!!!!! /thread

[Eaner0919]

You don't really believe that do you??

HBO is trying to sell this fight by excusing away the Shane Mosley ass-whipping.

believe what?

that Tony was 180-185 before camp started?

this has been told way before it was on HBO

don't know why you find it so hard to believe.

you make it sound like he weighed 180ish immediately after his fight with Cotto.

that's ******ed

by the time he was ready to resume training it was late Nov

[Mayas]

Wow! Margarito got weight drained against Mosley! 35 lbs. is too much for any welterweight to drain.

Thats not true.
Its a LIE!

Margarito was intructed by GBP and Arum to make a "weight-drain" excuse, to cover-up the fact that Mosley was "juiced-up" with EPO Steroids/Hormones the night they fought (which is the real reason he lost).
