    IMHO the end result was also at par in brutality shane's KO breaking the granite chin and Pac's rearraging the aztec features to asian is as brutal as you can get...
    Of course Pac would show more diversity in punch output, all that was left was throwing his shoes at him.

      Shane's performance was more impressive IMO because he did something most didn't think he would do. He stood in front of Marg and just beat him tot he punch over and over again. He took a hell of a lot more risk than Pac and understandably so.

      Pac fought great as well and dominated him but he was much more careful in boxing in and out, landing combo's to win. Mosley stood there and exchanged with him and used his superior speed and technique to land those vicious right hands over and over again.

        Well Mosley stopped him...he showed more power, more brutality and aggression. Pac was more finesse and accurate, less haymakers. Sort of a wash in my opinion. Both were ugly dominations.

          and one more thing. Margarito was more battered in 6 rounds than the whole 9 rounds against Mosley.

          so its debatable. imagine if Margarito was the same size as Pac?
          Why should I consider anything else other than who looked better against Margarito?

          OP's question:
          In your Opinion, who displayed the better offense against Margarito?

          I don't see where was it asked who had the better trunks, who had the best entrance music, etc. Clearly a KO win+barely getting hit in the process, is definitely the better performance. It says who displayed the better offense and that's it, stop adding things to the topic.

          People say Pacquiao beat DLH and Hatton better than Mayweather did because he stopped them/stopped Hatton earlier. They don't care about DLH fighting at 147 after 10 years of not fighting there, they don't care that Hatton was already stopped before. They say Margarito was weight drained at 147, but they don't say DLH was weight drained at 147.

          When Mosley beat Margarito, Margarito was the best WW in the world, he was the WBA champion, coming off the best win of his career against a previously undefeated Miguel Cotto.

          When Pacquiao beat Margarito, Margarito wasn't even in the top 10 junior middleweights or top 10 welterweights and was coming off a cheap UD win over some journeyman. How the hell do Pacfans get the idea that 150lbs is Margarito's best weight? Is it just a ****** attempt at defending Pacquiao's famous catchweight fights?

            Since we are believing what Margarito said about having trouble making 147 for the Mosley fight and that's why he lost[along with other speculations like handwrap incident], let's also believe Clottey's excuse for losing to Pacquiao, that he had diarrhea before the fight and was holding it and that's why he was not 100%.

                  The outcome was better for Mosley but I say Pacquiao had the better offense as a whole. If Mosley wasn't able to hold as much as he did it may have been totally different fight.

                    Mosley kept Marg away with his accuracy and power. Pacquiao completely outboxed him, threw more punches and used the whole ring to keep Marg front sitting down on his punches.
