Sugar Shane Mosley Vs Felix Tito Trinidad at Welter?

I think Tito would beat him too. He boxes too tall and would rip Mosley with his hook

 

In my opinion Mosley is not as strong as a lot of people make him out to be at welterweight. Trinidad on the other hand was a very strong welterweight. The fact that Mosley wouldnt be able to hurt Trinidad would probably shorten the fight even more.

 

The only advantage Mosley has here is speed. Trinidad would go for him and Mosley would be there. Mosley likes to go all out and slug it out. While he is fast he would land 2 or 3 for every single one Tito lands but Tito´s shots would hurt Mosley. In the 7th a hook would Flatten Shane and he won´t get up while having a slight lead on the cards.

 

Um, no offense, but if that's how you see the fight then you don't know much about Shane's style. I don't think I've ever seen him stay away or try to outbox someone if there was a good fight to be had by either coming forward or standing his ground and letting them come to him. Shane isn't a boxer, for the most part. He's a fast brawler, and when he wants to be, a good counterpuncher.

In any case, I think it's a toss-up fight, it would be a tough test for both and although both guys have good to outstanding chins and big hearts, it might not make it to the final bell, because both would want to tear into each other. I think Mosley's speed and activity help him take the early rounds, but there's a very good chance that Trinidad's power and accuracy get him back into the fight late.

 

Mosley all the way, people say his only advantage is his speed, I'm not sure thats true, but what an advantage his speed is. He also has combination throwing, ATG chin, bodypunching and yes has the power to put Tito out. Neither fighter are that hard to hit so to an extent its who lands first/more. Tito would land on Mosley but Shane loves to exchange and Trinidad's 1punch power is well overstated and Mosleys chin is rock solid.

Should we forget the Delahoya Mosley beat had just got done schooling Trinidad? Still I see this being an almighty war for the ages

 

Its a different style. DLH had the ability to box at range at times so he could take advantage of Trinidads one dimensional style. Mosley has never been a great boxer. When has Mosley ever beaten a tall rangy outside boxer, one dimensional or not? Trinidad late round KO.

 

Why assume Mosley needs to box at range? Mosleys speed means he lands first and lands more in a shoot out and backs Tito up taking away his leaverage, which is just as important. Look at Vargas and Carr who caused Tito problems. You dont need to box at range to take advantage of Titos defensive weaknesses.

In stylistic terms Oscar is probably a harder style than Tito for Mosley. I'm trying to decide who I'd consider the best boxer of the 2 in terms of footwork, timing, because in a toe-toe shoot up Mosley comes out top, Titos timing and footwork will edge the fight in his favour at times

 

To beat Tito you cant brawl with him.. I actually think the fight would go a lot like the Carr fight, with a late round stoppage. Carr was a little more mobile than Mosley too.
I think the fight has the makings for a face to face brawl, and Titos jab and reach would allow him to land his power shots on Mosley easier.

 

Mosley was much faster and the better overall boxer. Mosley was more durable. Mosley would be able to handle Trinidad's best shots and come back with hard shots of his own.

Mosley would outbox Trinidad in the early round. In the mid rounds he would start to break Trinidad down. In the late rounds he unloads on Trinidad and eventually stops him.

 

I edge towards Tito. At the end of the day Mosley comes to fight and the problem that that presents for the majority of welters in history can't be understated. But also, Tito doesn't have the greatest of defenses to really frustrate Mosley, Mosley can land plenty here, and he can take the shots coming his way. I still think he gets hurt in the process though. Trinidad imo.

 

Mosley has the better chin and a more varied skillset and footwork, so I favor him. Tito always has the ability to land the bomb, of course. Would have been a great fight.

 

If Mosley has the better footwork i don't see it as anything varied to the point of him putting on a clinic, it's marginal imo. A clinic would likely be needed. I reckon Mosley would be one of few fighters suited to actually taking up his usual approach here, because he has a great chin.

 

I always thought Tito was overrated. He was one dimensional and only had a left hook. No right hand, not that great of movement, just a monster of a left hook. I like Shane here.
