Larry Merchant has said some unforgettable things over the years in his many decades of experience as a ringside analyst for HBO Boxing. Each weekday we will post one of his quotes. It may be a quote that is insightful, it may be a quote that is hilarious, it may be a quote that is just plain odd.From the 1986 Berbick-Tyson HBO World Championship Boxing card:
"Angelo Dundee, a famous trainer, once said of a Muhammad Ali opponent, 'He's human, my guy ain't.' In the land of boxing, not being considered human is the sincerest form of flattery. And I think tonight we found out which fighter was human, and in boxing terms, which fighter wasn't human."
This basically sums up what I think is going to occur this Saturday night on HBO World Championship Boxing. Shane is one of the greatest fighters of the past few decades, but I just think the timing of this bout for him is all wrong and I expect him to be stopped in the late rounds by the man who is not human, Antonio Margarito. I fully expect Shane will make it a battle and he might be ahead going into the last portion of the fight, but at this stage of his career I cannot see him making it the distance against the volume of Margarito.
Official prediction: Margarito TKO11 Mosley, via corner stoppage or referee stoppage.
