Exactly. All of the 15 world champions he's faced, the 6 world titles in 5 world divisions is a joke. He is a joke to the sport, Atleast Pacquiao fought Oscar at 147 pounds and not 154. Atleast Pacquiao fought Hatton after he had a loss under his belt and spent some more time drinking and binge eating. Atleast Pacquiao avenged his loss to Morales after Morales got his ass handed to him. Atleast Pacquiao actually fought a legitimate welterweight contender and a non top 10 p4p ranking fighter in Joshua Clottey, who the hell wants to see anyone fight the welterweight champ and p4p #3 fighter anyways? P.s. I love Manny Pacquiao
I never thought a 38 year old, ringrusted Mosley stood a chance against Floyd. Floyd's an atg, but this was a lopsided match-up, and it's why I didn't buy the PPV. Glad I didn't, too, cause I was right. The only risky fights out there for Floyd are Pac and Williams: two top fighters in their primes. But I'd still pick Floyd to win.
It was said about 1000 times on this site that Mosley was overrated after beating Margo the way he did. No way in hell was he p4p no. 3 after one good performance.
Mosley couldnt beat Cotto who only has half the skill of Mayweather, so i dont why there was so many people giving him much of chance against Mayweather.
I love how Mosley supposedly gassed despite throwing more in the last six rounds than in the first six. Additionally, I like how he landed his jab at a 16% rate, but people expected him to throw more power punches. If your jab isn't getting there how the hell are you going to land anything else at a reasonable clip.
So Mosley was a shell, and yet Roach and Pac still didn't want to fight him. Roach: "Shane came to my gym twice to negotiate the fight with me. I said Shane can you make 142 or 143, he says no, I say "Okay there's no fight", he says "You fought Oscar at 147", I says "You're not Oscar." Interviewer: "What did you mean by that?" Roach: "He's better than Oscar, I mean why should I give him the advantage?"
Yea, he fights them, before Pacquiao. Hatton, DLH, I fully expect Pacquiao to prove his mettle by taking on Shane Mosley now.
Calm down..... Floyd is a great boxer and incredible talent but lets try to stay within the realms of reality.:good
Mosley was definitely a bit gassed after round 2 and didnt lat his hands go after about round 4, but i think he was just made to look old by an outstanding boxer.
Power Punches Thrown By Mosley: Round 1: 11 Round 2: 30 Round 3: 7 Round 4: 7 Round 5: 9 Round 6: 8 Round 7: 17 Round 8: 11 Round 9: 15 Round 10: 18 Round 11: 10 Round 12: 26 Gassed after round 2? Myth exposed.
You still haven't answered who Duran knocked out at 147 pounds that makes you believe he would "shatter Floyd's china chin." You seem to be great at making bold sweeping statements without any factual data to back up your claims. If you're going to have a conversation about strategy, at least have your statistics in order. "Guessing" is not a sufficient excuse to hide your straight up ignorance about boxing. In other words, you are the equivalent of a Village Idiot. Either you're just trolling, or you really are as ******ed as your avatar picture.
