Mosley was outboxed by Cotto and Forest

I feel the only way to beat Maywether is to have a higher volume of punches, constant pressure, Shane doesn't have that anymore.

Even though compubox doesn't tell the entire story I'll use it for my point.
Mosley landed 178/507 against a far more open Margo over the 9. Against Mayweather with the same volume of punches he'll land far less.

There's only two men right now who can throw 1000+ and nick a decision against Mayweather, Mosely isn't one of them.

Very small chance of a ko.

Mayweather UD.

 

Maybe. If his footwork fails OR if Mosley's cutting down of the ring is underrated which could very well be the case.

IMHO, Mosley is a lot like Pac once into combination. You can beat them to the punch and out maneuver them. You DON'T want to be caught flat footed when they start up those "buzz saws". Not many men can with stand that onslaught.

 

for sure, the movement is something mayweather is gonna need. i think you're bang on and very few could stand toe to toe with mosley right now. mayweather hasn't used a ton of movement since 135 but that's not to say he can't

 

Agreed. And the Mosley who fought Cotto was not Shane Mosley. I got nothing from that but old age and particularly lackluster performance.

 

I love how he's taking the fight because it's easy yet 6 months ago he was supposed to be scared of him.atsch

 

Vernon Forrest presented different stylistic difficulties for Shane. He was taller and fought behind a long jab. Floyd is neither taller nor are his arms longer than Mosley's.

In the Cotto fight it is worth mentioning that while Miguel was given the decision by the judges - he and Mosley landed the exact same number of punches with Shane landing the more power shots and many observers felt Mosley deserved the nod.

 

this fight is hyped way to much!! It might be boring as hell... because floyd is soo damn good and defensive, I dont see mosley winning! Floyd by UD... 118-109 across the board! Id rather watch mosley fight pac...

 

shane lost to winky twice, forrest twice, cotto once and if you want to be truthful. oscar once (the second fight)! Floyd >>>>>>>>>>>>> mosley

 

Zero. His defense is very much deteriorated as well. Basically what it comes down to is if Sugar Shane can't land a haymaker on Floyd in the first four or five rounds, he is **** outa luck.

 

put the house on floyd by ud!!! Mosley has no F***** chance!!!!!!

 

Cotto and Vernon have intensley different styles to Floyd and are both more aggressive.

 

The Forrest who defeated Mosley would have defeated Floyd too.

 

:good:good

 

wow, youre s smart

how many of those guys did floyd lose to? NONE
he wouldnt fight any of them...except for a pretty shot DLH
its hard to not get a loss sometimes when you fight washed up guys and the vicorio sosas, henry brussles, sharmba michells, and featherweigh sparring partners...go troll back on emporiums website douche bag

 

Every chance my friend; occasionally the past doesn't always dictate what's going to happen in the future. Whilst I expect Floyd to win, I would not be surprised if Shane pulled off an upset - he's world class and definately has more than a puncher's chance to pull this out!
