By Peter Howells: On the back of an amazing display from ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley to topple Antonio Margarito from the top of the Welterweight mountain, I’m left wondering..

By Simon Hirst: So ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley rolled back the years and told Father Time he isn’t ready to retire just yet in an emphatic win over Antonio Margarito. Mosley dominated the first in almost every aspect and fully deserved the knockout victory after coming out of the shadow that fought Ricardo Mayorga. It does [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Right now, Shane Mosley is sitting pretty having just beaten Antonio Margarito to win his WBA welterweight title with a 9th round TKO on Saturday night, and that’s got to feel good for the 37-year-old Mosley, who many boxing experts felt was on the downside of his career.

By Matt Stein: Getting beaten is one thing, but the way that Antonio Margarito lost to Shane Mosley, losing by a 9th round stoppage and losing every round, was far worse.

By William Mackay: “Sugar” Shane Mosley fought would many people could consider to be the best fight of his long 16-year career in battering World Boxing Association welterweight champion Antonio Margarito and stopping him in the 9th round.

By Jason Kim: Antonio Margarito may have left more behind than he realizes in defeating Miguel Cotto last July in a 11th round TKO victory.

By William Mackay: Through a long 16 year professional boxing career, Shane Mosley has been fortunate enough not to have been knocked out.

By Eric Thomas: WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito weighed in at 145.8 for today’s weigh-in while challenger Shane Mosley came in at 147.2 and had to come back later to be reweighed after shedding the extra weight.

By Manuel Perez: Shane Mosley better find the fountain of youth by this Saturday night or else he’s going to end taking a beating from Antonio Margarito. Up until his last fight against Ricardo Mayorga, Mosley has been fortunate not to take a lot of punishment during his long 16-year pro career, but that may [...]

By Dave Lahr: With age quickly creeping in on him, the 37-year-old Shane Mosley (45-5, 38 KOs) will be taking on his best opponent in years, perhaps in his entire career when he faces World Boxing Association welterweight champion Antonio Margarito (37-5, 27 KOs) on January 24th at the Staples Center, in Los Angeles, California. [...]

By William Mackay: Having a lot of confidence is a good thing, although income cases it can go a little overboard when a fighter deceives himself about his faded ability.
