    The footwork, darting left jab, and unorthodox upper-body movement would fluster Mosley and keep him from setting often enough to utilize his power-boxing style to his advantage. Mosley didn't have the feet or imagination to deal with boxers like Buchanan or Laguna.

    As an aside, Buchanan was also as tough as nails despite his ballet-esque boxing style, which should see him deal with any scary moments Mosley may've been able to offer up, anyway.

    :lol::lol: So far your right! Many times i have some goodf fantasy matchups going on but i dont post them cause i know you guys will always go for the older guy.

    For example 2 very good fighters equally matches but not outstanding Who would win HTH between Jim Watt vs Humberto Soto?

    Horrible match up for Mosley. Usual bull**** from "they always pick the old-fighter" brigade. I mean we actually had the same thing in the Buchanan-Marquez thread ffs.

    At lightweight Mosley hadn't the expeirence to deal with Kenny who would school Shane in many rounds. I can't see Buchanan troubled by what he would find in a lightweight Sugar Shane.

    Buchanan would outbox Mosely. Buchanan w15 Mosely. Buchanan had the skill and the ability all right...and he proved his toughness in that crucible with Duran...and he would have survived to a 15 round decision loss were it not for that shot to the balls. Mosely Buchanan would have dealt with in a close decision.

    Go with Ken's better ring genralship and jab, to outbox Mosley in a very competive fight.

    Ken by Decision

    I agree, Mosley by KO but the **** sucking maricon classic enthusiasts in here will always pick the older fighter.

    I think you guys are totally underrating how boxing has evolved..specifically for this match the improvements in PED's.

    That will be the difference here.

    Then go roost in the general forum where boxing history only goes back a decade or so. You're wrong anyway.
