    it was a fight that was thought about. as mosley looked pretty damn deserving at jnr middle. and seemed to have more faster combo's when he moved from lightwieght to welter soooo does he have a chance or is it the other way round is joppy too big with enough technical skill

    joppy being just as tall as mosley...but needed a big name win (which mosley was)

    and mosley who had mised the oppertunity to go in at light welter might add another nothc to his belt with a win over a top ranking middlewieght.
    i know that mosley is actually very slight and rather small framed. but he was only beaten by guys who looked over him.

    i have been thinking this for a while when i saw mosley and joppy in a picture together who looked the same hieght and build.

    your thoughts please:good

    Let me start you off at he bottom. ;)

    Little I saw of Joppy, he looked pretty slow and his work-rate wasn't anything to write home about. I think Mosley wouldn't have stopped him but would have battered him all over the shop for 12 rounds.

    Mosley is way too fast, not disrespecting Joppy but Mosley is way too fast for him

    Mosley beats him easy in my opinion.

    wow im surprised by the decisiveness......this is a middleiweght we are talking about here and a now a light heavy.

    he is a pretty decent boxer. and made his career of fighting smaller men.


    yet a lightwieght champion mosley seems to be the fav. a big surprise

    He's just too slow to deal with Shane.

    Shane has an EXCELLENT beard and Joppy has never been a power puncher.

    Joppy sorta fights out of a crouching extreme shoulder forward kinda style and wings his left hook, leaving him super open for fast hands Mosely to counter and drop big body shots on him.

    Winky had the southpaw jab to deal with it - Joppy has nothing to keep him off.

    Joppy was talented, but he stayed in the clubs to much. Just like a lot of talented fighters from D.C did. Mosley beats him 10 out of 10 times:bbb

    i dunno joppy's jab was pretty good from what i remember. his defence wasnt as cemented like winky's but was still a very hard thing to get through. and in that it was joppy's right hand that was his money punch

    I heard that Mosley and Joppy had a sparring match back when they were both highly regarded names, and people say that Mosley actually got the better of him. Take that for what it's worth.

    When did William Joppy EVER defeat a great opponent?

    Sure, he beat Howard Eastman, but otherwise, despite his obvious physical talents and fine speed, I don't see him competing well at all with Shane Mosley.

    Mosley just as fast, stronger, better overall.

    When did Mosley test positive for steroids? Never.:clap:

    If Mosley had tested positive for steroids, his victory of Oscar De La Hoya in 2003 would've been ruled a No Contest, thus, De La Hoya would have retained his Jr. Middleweight Championship.

    But that did not happen. Still, conspiracy-theorists still persist, with anti-Mosley propoganda that continues to this day.

    if Joppy was in his prime, say around 2000, and they fought at lets say, 158 pounds, i would think it would be a 50 50 fight, maybe a slight edge to joppy.

    joppy was a good fighter, whose loses only came against really good or really big fighters
