Mosley's power must of been something else, because Cotto was unable to stop Margarito in his tracks etc
Lets see.
Bernard Hopkins vs Kelly Pavlik 'Hopkins basically ended his career'.
Not sure what decade that was, even still it is a underrated win.
I think that was 08 as it was Hopkins first fight following the Calzaghe loss. I actually bet on B-Hop that night he was a 3/1 dog if I remember correctly. I didn’t expect him to dominate Pavlik like he did though, very impressive win.
B-Hop ruined a lot of guys: Cloud, Pascal, Tarver, Trinidad.
in hindsight, the win doesn't look as impressive as matthysse has gone on to look pretty pedestrian following his rise in 2012
but here specifically on this board, and everywhere you found "real" boxing talk everyone and their god damn mothers thought matthysse was the next coming of jesus christ. hell i even fell into the massive hype train. he had some of the biggest hype here for any fighter ive ever seen
and danny garcia straight up beat him. and didnt die
it is a great win but i don't think it is underrated, to this date i think it is his best win.
The hell he did! Think 90% of people can agree that was a robbery. More fool pacquiao for taking the fight though. If it wasn't for that fight horn would still be an unknown bum.
trout over cotto is a good pick, trout in general was underrated. i thought he beat canelo.
mosley win was huge, i thought margarito would walk through him like he did cotto but mosley beat his ass. the fight was in 09 though.
it is a great win but i don't think it is underrated, to this date i think it is his best win.
Antonio Margarito was the baddest man in boxing at that time 'I wanted Mosley to win, and knew he could but? I was not certain. Against Richardo Mayorga it seemed as if Mosley, 'Saved himself with a late knock out etc'
Some nice commentary from Emanuel Steward, describing Mosley's left hook which ended the fight.
