    Three years past his prime...sorta like Hopkins against Tito.

    Decent.

      What is this supposed to mean? You do as good a job trying to look cute as you do making sense. In other words, find a new line of work.

            I just happened to find it hard that a win be "decent" when the other fighter is proclaimed to be "scared" or "ducking." I'm still puzzled at how Mosley was shot way before Margs, yet Margs was supposedly at his peak when he beat Cotto. I'm befuddled.

              And it's sad that Mosley's name is getting trashed because of it.

                Trashed? Mosley's been shot since 2003, you ain't know? Team Pacquiao just wanted to make sure he was shot, get it? That's why they didn't give him the fight before and are willing to now.

                  Thats a completely moronic way to judge the validity of a fight. It comes down to where each fighter is in their respective career and the skills they possess, stuff you read on an internet boxing forum doesnt change that. Mosley was 37 when he faced Marg and Marg was 30 when he faced Cotto does anything else need to be said? 1 fight before Cotto Margarito beat up and dispatched of Cintron, Mosley struggled for 12 rounds before knocking out a faded version of Ricardo Mayorga. Still having problems?

                    The fact that Mosley was able to stop the #1 WW years after his best speaks volumes about him as a fighter, how is his image tarnished?
