Shane Mosley KO 12 Ricardo Mayorga
9/27/08 - Carson, CA

In the summer of 2003, Ricardo Mayorga was fresh off his second victory over Vernon Forrest while Shane Mosley was several months removed from a cut-induced no-contest against Raul Marquez. At that point in time a match between the Nicaraguan wild man and the cool Californian would have been an intriguing clash of styles as well as big business for the sport. As fate would have it, both attempted to further consolidate their credentials with mixed results. That December Mayorga barely failed in his attempt to unify three welterweight belts by losing a majority decision to IBF king Cory Spinks while Mosley won the WBA and WBC straps at 154 by decisioning Oscar de la Hoya in September.

Antonio Margarito KO 11 Miguel Cotto
7/26/08 - Las Vegas, NV

Antonio Margarito’s 11th round TKO over Miguel Cotto was a triumph of patience and persistence. For years the new WBA welterweight champion toiled in obscurity, hungering for the chance to meet – and then beat – a fighter considered to be among the elite. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley rejected Margarito’s challenge (which took the form of $8 million purses), but Cotto accepted it – not just once, but twice. Like Mosley in his first fight against Oscar de la Hoya and Winky Wright in his initial scrap against Mosley, Margarito embraced the spotlight instead of letting it consume him. And because of that, he ended up consuming Cotto whole.
