Shane Mosley says he feels that he is still in prime

I don't even know what the **** that means...

Anyway, for his sake he'd better hope he's still at or near his damn prime because that's what he's going to need to defeat Mayweather. Unfortunately, we don't have access to time machines in this day and age so it's most likely he'll get his old ass beat in May.

 

Remember, Mosley beat Margarito, but Margarito did not train for that fight. Can't over rate that win.

 

By training do you mean "loading gloves"? Why would he not train? Why would he say he did not train after getting knocked out and proven as a cheater in one night? At least Margacheato didn;t blame the loss on a volcano.

 

He is sharp and lets his hands go fluid and with power. maybe he can't jab as much or flurry as much. But he has a long reach of 25'' arm length which is quite long and he can outjab some jabber like he did in the first Hoya fight and used again in the Margo fight. I'm afraid he can't fight on the balls of his feet all the time, jumping in and out, the legs are gonna be the problem.

 

like Hopkins against Calzaghe. :think

 

he's saying he thinks Mosley is a better boxer now than when he was at his physical/reflex peak (around 30 years of age).

 

i don't think he would say " i feel like ****, i'm too old, can't turn over the hook anymore, my back hurts, et cetera"

 

Exactly. I still can't understand why people even listen to pre-fight talk.

 

still, shane is 38

i just hope though that he gets that punch work together against floyd.

 

well if he said he was past his prime that would not sell the fight well. Mosley will be the Mosley who fought Cotto. Does that guy have a chance against Mayweather? almost makes me think Cotto had a better chance. But Mosley is a great.

 

if Mayweather fought mosley instead of marquez in his comeback fight would people still be calling shane old and past his prime as if shane is in the same state as dela hoya.

 

Flat Footed cotto had no chance.

 

thats bc ur judging is ****, mayorga was fighiting rough but he hardly landed any clean punches....

 

now we know after the mora fight that his prime is behind him already.

 

No boxer primes at 39 years old, and especially not a career best at lightweight boxer.
