135 - Sugar Shane Mosley vs. Hector Comacho

There are guys who would have a shot against Duran at LW. Pernell Whitaker would have a very good shot.

Mosley UD Camacho

 

Camacho was at his pomp as a 130lber and damaged goods post Rosario; Mosley would school him.

Mosley WU15 (10-5)

 

I'm going with the general trend here- Mosley, by wide UD. He's just too good.

 

What was he when he faced Ramirez? THAT's the Camacho we should be discussing here.

That Camacho could very well beat Mosley. He's faster and has better movement imo. It may well come down to whether Mosley can whallop him hard enough and often enough to sap him of confidence and keep him defensive. If he can't the Macho man can outbox him and steal a close points win.

 

Camacho was indeed nearly punch perfect that night, and Ramirez was a very good fighter no doubt. But Camacho simply was not tested until he met El Chapo, and then he was found wanting some what.

I am guessing even if you fancy Camacho to win this, you would accept it would be far from easy? If that is the case, we need evidence of how the fighters performed when things did not go as well as expected in their prime.

Camacho ran against Rosario; Mosley sucked it up and beat de la Hoya (fight one). Camacho got pasted but took his beating like a man against Chavez; Mosley did the same against Forrest (fight one).

The conclusion must be the edge goes to Mosley. Both could school very good fights and win at a canter, but Mosley's prime ticker was a little bit stronger, and that would be the difference IMO.

 

Good points and I agree with you T, Mosley's heart will probably carry the day. I'm not totally convinced of my pick though. I can see the opposite eventuating too, with Hector's speed and movement giving him the points win.

 

I honestly think hector has the better resume between the two fighters.

 

Hecotr is faster, he has a better chin and his handspeed is superior too, at 135 i see him handily beating mosley and busting him open.

 

Hector may be faster, but I'm thinking Shane has more pop, and Hector will feel it when he connects.Mosely beats Camacho by a 8-7 unanimous decison.

 

like this, though i see mosley pulling away towards the end and widening the gap (10-5)

 

Tough fight to pick...leans towards Mosely being able to surprise Camacho with his own speed, and being more physical (ie body punching) down the stretch. Mosely dec.
