I think that Margarito takes this one for a couple of reasons.

First, Margarito is younger and hungrier.

Second, Shane has a problem against taller men. When he fought Forrest both times Forrest gave him fits in the ring. Mosley had a bad showing IMO against Cotto. So much so that I believe that the old Shane who beat DLH would have either won, or made it an incredible fight.

Mosley looked old and convinced that he couldn't win. A better fight would have been Mosely Vs Clottey. Clottey gave Margarito a great fight despite being injured early on and had he not been injured I believe that he would have won that fight. People do not look like they want to face Clottey and Margarito doesn't want any parts of Paul Williams.

So now that we have Mosley facing Margarito, I'm picking Margarito. Mosely had the ability to win once upon a time, but if he's fighting like Mosley post-Forrest, the he's going to lose.
