    Question about Mosley in the Margarito fight

    Anybody think Shane was on some stuff for this fight?

    Reason I bring it up is because in this fight, he was throwing and throwing, but his next fight against Floyd, by the end of round 2 he was huffing and puffing (that fight too had random blood testing)

    It could possibly just be a physics thing too though in which Tony was there to be hit and stop Shane's momentum, whereas Floyd made him miss which got him tired faster since no momentum was being stopped (which is ironic because the first 2 rounds were Shane's best rounds in which he also landed so I don't see why he got so winded)

    Shane was not on roids, Margarito did not have the wraps to help him out.

      He was an on again, on again steroid user. So it wouldn't be uncommon for him to roid'n every given opportunity. He's probably doing Roids right now

          Yes I'm sure he was but I don't think that's entirely why he was ineffective against Mayweather. It's like I said a couple of weeks ago when this came up, it's motivating to be an underdog against an opponent who is there to be hit. Didn't matter if Mosley found himself being fatigued against Margarito at any point, knowing that you can easily hit Margarito would have pushed him through.

          Against Mayweather it was mental stress as well, Mosley couldn't physically impose himself, got countered whenever he tried to mount an offense, and on the inside he continuously got hit with short right uppercuts to the body. Mayweather's body work in the clinches is definitely his most underrated attribute, it was this that prompted Maidana to attempt a knee.

              Over trained. He was supposed to fight Berto and that fight was only a few weeks away if I recall he went straight into another full camp for Floyd. With the layoff and age it seems logical.

                Who cares, they are 2 cheaters anyway. If he was then Margarito got what he deserved.

                    Margs comes forward and is nearly unmissable with punches.. Floyd is a lot harder to find and land on.. That's why Shane looked slow and old vs Floyd but a million bucks vs margs.
                    Plus Shane was on a long layoff and was getting old
