    Was Shane Mosley on the juice when he beat Margarito?

    Shane has admitted he took performance enhancing drugs before his rematch with De La Hoya, but was he juicing vs Margarito too?

    I wish cotto was juicing in his first fight with Margarito. Even the playing field with that cheating coward.

      No, he just knew that Margs couldn't fight moving backwards.

        Nah looked like the same old Shane. Makes it easier when the opponent doesn't have much in terms of defensive skills and you can just tee off on him

          Mosley was just too good and Margarito is lost if his opponent doesn't wilt after the 6th round.

            Of course he was, juicers are juicing in their best performances for sure, or you can believe its creatine.Mosleys stamina looked great in that fight, against Winky he was gassed by round 4.I like Shane and hes not alone when it comes to PEDs btw.And Margarito was a worse cheat imo.

              He was whaling punches like a Robot than fought Floyd and is gassed out after round 2 he also lost a lot of muscle Roidweather was pushing him around like he was a 12 year old boy. Manny Stewart said I don't get this Mosley is suppose to be the stronger guy and Mayweather is pushing him around

                It's a very good question. My answer would be no because by that time the Balco scandal had just hit the fan. It would have been very reckless and foolish of him to do such a thing when he was already under a microscope for using designer drugs.

                  In another case scenario; Margarito was finished. Cotto beat the prime out of him where he was never the same fighter again. Shane just finished off what was left of him that's all.

                  If one were to go back and view that Cotto/Margarito I fight Tony appeared as a cyborg. we all know that Cotto has a well known reputation as a tremendous power puncher and Margarito was just walking through his power shots as if they were playing a game of tag.

                  This is what ultimately and subsequently wore Cotto down as he punched himself out from all the flush punches he landed on Margarito's head. Cotto may have lost the battle that night but Margarito had inevitably lost the war. His career was over after that fight.

                    I remember this fight, the broadcast story was how on that day Mosley had finalized his divorce. The talk was if it was going to be a distraction for his performance. And what I saw was a man taking out all his frustrations on a stationary punching bag with zero defense. He beat the brakes off Margs. Was a beautiful thing. Gonna go with NO steroids just divorce rage at losing half his money.
