Ehhhhhhh ... I don't much care for reputations. DLH had the best reputation in boxing but lost nearly every significant match. Margarito is taller, has a longer reach and is willing to trade where most of Shane's opponents prefer to box.
Shane has dubbed his style "powerboxing", and if he intends to trade with Margarito I see doom for him. Anything can happen as Mosley is affiliated with Golden Boy promotions. Personally I thought Mosley threw the Cotto fight, as Shane wasn't even giving his best effort.
Then I had to rethink that after see him struggle against Mayorga who is at best a brawler with a great chin. I do believe that Mosley's best days are behind him, but he still has a puncher's chance.
He's still got better skill than Margarito, and is definitely faster. Still, I see closing the distance as being a problem for Shane, and with Margarito being the more powerful puncher I don't see Shane "powerboxing" his way through this one.
