It seems to me that fighters who are strong and have a good jab are the worst for Shane. Not that he'd find life very easy against a top class slickster though. Wiky Wright wasn't the 'slickest' at that stage of his career, he had a basic but great defense, and just pumped a strong as hell jab whenever he knew the opening was available. Forrest pumped the jab and put a prime Mosley on the backfoot. The Cotto fight was very very close.
Yep... That's why Mosley had a fairly easy time figuring out "Mayo and Margo" on HBO within the last year...... Carlos Quintana would also be a victim....... MR.BILL:bbb
Mosley would beat Quintana by going to the body. At this stage of his career, with the clear decline in speed, Molsey would likely not fair well against a good slickster.
Teeto great point about the strong jab still maybe the lack of landing on guys discourages him abit or to me it seems that way. Bu put him in a shootout and you gotta go a fair bit back to find a guy that beats him anyway im off Macklin vs Ashikiain is on soon
Christ no............... Mosley and his dad Jack will call it a day by age 40 for sure.......... Mosley is smarter than James Toney....... Even with a divorce to ***** Jin, Shane must be financially set by now..... I cannot see Mosley hanging around as a clubfighter fighting bums and stiffs on ESPN or FSN like my guys "Duran and Holmes" did in the 1990s on the lousy USA network..... Now, yes, Ol' Toney who is a spendaholic and severly limited in education will fight until he's 50, cuz he needs cash and knows nothing else to do..... MR.BILL:bbb
Off topic, however, I am glad we NEVER saw Ray Leonard fighting bums and stiffs in the middle of Kansas on ESPN or the USA network after his loss to Terry Norris or, worse yet, KO loss to Camacho in 1997........... MR.BILL
How can you not be a fan of Mosley hope he gets the big fights he is after. He's right about not having to fights guys but doing it to prove you're the best, he was offered a career high payday fro a third fight with Oscar but choose to fight Winkiy cause he deserved it. Winky has mentioned he holds Mosley in high regard becuase he gave him his opportunity when nobody else would.
Mosley is one of my favorite fighters of all time. I think the Mosley that showed up against Margarito would beat every other top welter outside of Williams and Floyd. I think Mosley/Mayweather should be made, and I think Mosley has an OK chance of winning that fight, but Mayweather should be the favorite. I hope Mosley gets a few more quality wins under his belt to cement his legacy. At his age, even beating Berto would be an accomplishment. I'm also pretty sure he would decisively beat Clottey.
