    touche. i kinda have the belief that there are certain styles that would always beat mosley. so it is hard for me to judge when his prime was. it is all to easy to dismiss a fighter as past prime when he first loses, i dont think it is always the case.

    He was pretty fast. I think his hand speed was on par with a pre-prison Mike Tyson's foot speed.

    Its not always the case but it in Mosley's case it was,if you see his fights pre Forrest and the fights after Forrest you'll see what im talking about,he went from being one of the most confident fighters in the world a fighter who went to the ring to blow the other guy out throwing combo after combo to the head and body untill he got the other guy out of there to being a much more cautios fighter who stopped throwing combos and just threw one punch at a time followed by a clinch.

    he fared better in the rematch i thought. sometimes styles change, like floyd sits down on his punches more now, but he is arguably still as good as he has ever been.his performance vs collazo was also very very good. i think, personally, skill wise shane aint that great, he is a good boxer who cant jab, but he has his power as an equaliser.

    one thing i will say tho, i think forrest catching him the way he did struck his confidence cos his chin got cracked.

    Did Judah just hit himself with his own hook at 2m10? LOL If so do you count that as a successful punch by Judah or for his opponent? "So fast he can't stop even his own punches! "

    It was a bad stoppage in that fight... really too bad that some bad referring ruins great fights :(


    Judah's handspeed was amazing. It's up there with the fastest hands out there...

    Still, although he had great speed, he wasn't a puncher of Roy Jone's caliber imho... Take a look here, check out the last KO at 2m50...:

    It's not just hand speed, it's being able to put punches together, using angles, accuracy, being able to throw while moving, etc...

    It doesn't matter, what matters is at the 10 count, if the fighter is on his feet and ready to continue. He was around the 5 count when he fell for the 2nd time, then the ref stopped it... Without getting the fighter a chance to get to his feet and show that he was able to continue. He still had plenty of time to get to his feet before the 10s mark... If he failed to do so, fine, count him out, if he's unable to continue to fight at the 10 count, fine, don't allow him to continue, but give the fighter the benefit of the doubt and give him the damn 10s to get to his feet...

    If that call was ok, then any fighter not on their feet at the 5 count can be considered KO, let's then make it a 5 count instead of a 10 count...

    Hate it when ****ing dick refs stop the fight early, a fighter is on his knees at the 8 count, taking his time, then at 9 gets on his feet, and the ref stops it... WTF!! He was up at 9...

    Shane Mosley was still physically capable of fighting at his peak up until 05, after he turned 35 you could see his body changing, now it nearly 39, he can still handle himself but is well past prime, and any fighter with elite talent will beat him.
