Quotes From Article..
"Williams thought Mosley would win the fight, but was even surprised in the one sided nature of the fight. Williams thinks margarito is done as a fighter. Over the years Margarito has been in a number of wars. Williams credits those wars to the physical decline of Margarito against Mosley.
"I'm sure Margarito wishes he took the deal now, he would have lost still but at least he would have went to the bank. Instead he lost his pride, his title, and 2 million dollars. I thought Mosley would win. I thought Mosley would win the first 7 rounds than Margarito would come on late, but after I saw him taking all that damage I knew it was only a matter of time"
"He took all those right hands. Shane took my blueprint & Cotto's blueprint and used them both. He stopped Margarito's momentum, didn't let him get off and jumped on him with combination's. After a few rounds his body couldnt take it anymore. Margarito thought Mosley would tire out but Mosley is a 12 round fighter, he wont tire out. Margarito was just a heavy bag that was moving. He ate everything that Shane threw. His corner should have stopped the fight. Sugar Shane was just getting stronger and stronger. Shane beat him with speed, but people dont realize that speed is power."
"He is definitely done. He went 12 hard rounds with me, 11 with Cotto, 12 hard round with Clottey and the fight with Santos. I like him as a fighter and hope he can come back and become a better champion, but everyone has the blueprint on him now. He's fought the same way his whole career and cant change"
"If Williams can secure a win over Wright, the stage would be set for a faceoff between Williams and Mosley. Williams is confident he can still come down in weight to 147 safely. He wants Mosley but doesnt believe the fight will happen. He believes a win over Wright will only scare Mosley away."
"Shane wont fight me, even with his big win over Margarito. Margarito comes leaping in, is staight forward and Shane knows it wont be like that with me. I would love to get Sugar Shane in the ring, I hope he thinks it would be like that for me. I dont know what I could do to get Mosley in the ring. We are going to put a good beating on Winky, but after Mosley sees that he really wont want any. He'll see me beating guys at 160 & keeping my power and he wont want any"
"Like his fighter, Peterson saw teh Margarito loss coming. He agrees that Margarito shuold have turned down a fight with Mosley and taken the bigger check for a rematch with Williams. Perseton, like Williams, viewed Margarito's performance against Mosley as a sign of hsi physical decline. A physical decline that Peterson attributes to the multiple wars on Margarito's record. According to Peterson, Margarito's aura of being a feared product is over."
"I always said the "Tijuana Tornado" was a soft breeze at the shore. They tried to protect him from us and lost 2million dollars. We want Shane after Winky. I congratulate Shane. He looked the Sugar Shane of old. Not to take anything away from Shane but that was not the same Margarito that fought Paul. Margarito was involved in too many wars. He went twoelve hard roudsn with Paul and then eleven with Cotto. I'm telling, watch, everyone will start calling Margarito out- Says Peterson"
"Mosley saw what Paul did and what Cotto did and said to himself 'they worked him over real good so now I'm goign to step in adn finish him off.' He came to that fight as a finished product. We already spanked that butt adn after Winky, we are goign to give that same kind of spanking to Sugar Shane." - Says Peterson"
"I think Cotto will get him this time. I don't think he will lose the rematch. You have to stop Margarito's momentum and thats what Sugar Shane did and made Margarito a dead man walking" - Says Williams.
"I don't Mayweather will take that fight with him. I think Shane can beat Mayweather. They are both fast, but Mosley has more power. The only real guys out there for him are me and Manny Pacquiao. I see him Picking Manny over me. Fighting me is a suicide mission."
