    I don't think Mosley would need to put on a clinic to win. I can see him eating some nice shots from Tito, losing some rounds, but taking the decision. He also has the power to put Tito down. I'm not saying it wouldn't be a close fight--I only slightly favor Shane, say, 60/40.

    Yeah, like i say, i think Mosley should fight his natural fight, and he has a chance because his chin is great. Most fighters going right in on Trinidad are asically committing suicide because they never cease to underestimate how accurate his heavy artillery is. But Mosley can take a shot. I just don't see how footwork plays a role and don't think Shane's is great enough to win an outboxing type fight. That's why i slightly favour Trinidad personally.

    Just my opinion.

    In regards to the highlighted part, you have to remember that Oscar boxed against Tito and went toe to toe against Mosley in the first fight and lost, its not far fetched to say that if Oscar goes toe to toe with Tito like he did in the first Mosley fight he would have lost. But when Oscar boxed against Mosley in the rematch he won the fight in my opinion. Whats funny is that though Tito and Mosley don't exactly have the same fighting style they both had the same problems and that was fighters who had strong power jabs and good boxing skills. Neither man has ever beaten a top level elite fighter who decided to box against them.

    I'm not saying Trinidad is the same guy as Margarito, but they have style similarities.
