[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJx9FzJqOks[/ame] Now this Mosley beats any version of Mayweather. People seem to forget Mosley started his career out 38 and 0 with 35 knockouts. That is pretty impressive. He is bigger, stronger and just as fast. But the haters need to stop hating on Floyd. Mosley is currently number 3 or 4 in the world pound for pound. If Floyd wins, he will deserve much credit. This is a legit super fight. Floyd in my mind is a legit favorite, 2 to 1. But if the odds are 3 to 1 right now, and could move to 4 to 1. Those are good odds on Mosley in my opinion.
One more thing, people need to stop with the Cotto beat Mosley and Mayweather is better then Cotto so he will beat Mosley easily. Didn't Forrest beat Mosley then Mayorga beat Forrest then Mosley beat Mayorga. The same with Margarito-Cotto-Mosley. The same with Wright-Vargas-Mosley. Also the Cotto-Mosley fight was razor thin close. Styles make fights. Now Mayweather may go out and shut Mosley out, but it won't because Cotto beat Mosley in 2007.
the video didn't wow me. I think mosley is dangerous and have the style to give floyd problems but i always thought he is a bit overated.
I guess nobody impresses you then. His footwork, speed and power were amazing for a lightweight. Sure as heck better then Edwin Valero. Yeah Shane Mosley is overrated if you are comparing him to Sugar Ray Robinson. In my mind, only 2 lightweights were as impressive and or better then Mosley in the modern era, That being Roberto Duran and Pernell Whitaker. But if you are comparing him to contemporary fighters he is right up there with almost all of them. Unfortunately for Shane he has taken on the Sugar moniker, thus he is the 3rd best of the bunch. Now is Shane nickname was different I am sure he would have been much more appreciated. He is a great fighter and 1st ballot hall of famer. But he is still no Sugar Ray, Robinson or Leonard.
Shanes was and still is a marvelous fighter he's got everything speed in abundance and knockout power two of his five losses came against winky wright a man who nobody would go anywhere near but shane a man to not avoid a challenge fought him and came up short just, i dont believe he's past for me hes's 38 when people hear that age people throw the word past it about an awful lot but shane will know when its time to hang up them gloves and it certanatly isnt yet, but its a real tough fight for him against for me the best around against floyd.
i watch a lot of fighters and shane's main attributes to me has always been his speed, power, stamina and durability and it hasn't changed. He is a very physical fighter and hasn't really change imo. I don't think Shane adapt well in the ring and doesn't do good against boxers who knows how to get away from his speed, and power. I think prime or not, he just doesn't have the boxing IQ to beat floyd.
Oscar is shane's best win but a lot of people think Margarito is due to the fact that shane is suppose to be old and margarito is young. But I think Margarito is tailor for shane who have a lot of power, and speed.
Again, cant the same be said for ODLH that he was also tailor made??? He fought him what three times over the span of two decades and beat him every time??? Margarito is just more one dimensional. Shane does well against fighters he can reach or fight in close with him. Hes shown hes not a complete fighter by being schooled twice by rangey technical boxers.
his jab didn't do ****, you're going by forrest's post fight bull**** about jabbing to beat mosley, he threw right hooks like mad and headbutted.
