    This.

    Prime Mosley has been gone for years.

    Compare the Mosley that fought Hoya to the Mosley that fought Margarito and there is a clear difference. Even at his recent best against the likes of Margarito he was still clearly past his best.

    Apart from being whooped by Mayweather(No shame there), he never looked so bad against such inferior competition as he did against Mora.

    The guy that fought Mora would have been dominated by the Mosley who fought Vargas.

    So how is Pac going to beat him? By your admission it won't be by "Boxing" right? Will Pac also be wearing Boxing gloves?

    "Banging" that is right. So Pac won't use speed or foot and head movement (aka defense)? That is "Banging" not Boxing right?

    You most likely don't know much do you?

    So if Mayweather was just "boxing" means he wasn't a warrior even though he didn't run at all vs Mosley? When Mosley stunned Mayweather, Mayweather didn't run, he didn't clinch like crazy. Mayweather hold his grown and wait for a shot in which he did and nail it on his own. That to me shows Mayweather has got guts something thatmany of you didn't think he had.

    Watching someone, even PBF do a pull counter over Shane's jab, speak volumes of how far Mosley has fallen, I've watched him since the 90s when he was easily the fastest fighter around, he is clearly over the hill and has been since 07 IMO.

    Hopkins is also the exception not the rule. Does every 45 year old former champion win the undisputed heavyweight belt just because Big George did it as well?

    I am not under any illusions about where Mosley is or the talent he was in his heyday. I still think Mayweather wins, but no way he stands in front of a prime Mosley like that. Mosley has always had problems with Pure Boxers.

    Vernon Forrests win over Mosley was GREAT.
    Mayweather's was good considering Mosley's last win.
    Pac's fight is "Why?"

    Also remember, Mayweather begged to fight Mosley for YEARS. Mayweather has lost a step too.

    Mayweather fought De La Hoya VERY differently than he did Mosley.

    Against De La Hoya, he spent much of it boxing laterally on the retreat, often backing up to the ropes.

    Against Mosley, he spent a large portion of it on the front foot, walking Mosley down behind a high guard.

    He seemed badly gassed when he fought Mayweather and was beaten quite convincingly. Also, he looked poor against Mora so the signs aren't good. Personally I think Pac could wear him down to a late mercy stoppage.
