If Mosley comes in at 150 at weigh-in, would the fight still be on?

IQ with 10 should not actually debate.

Where in the world did it state that the two punds made a difference!!!!

That is not what the debate is all about.

Your post is a contracdiction.

"was 2 lbs over which in't much anyway" -

Then ;

"If two pounds didn't make a difference Eze, ask all *******s why Pac asked Cotto to come in at 145 instead of 147". -

Do you even write or analyze what you are typing Moron!

Why don't you team up with EZE, and then we debate, probably that evens out the field.

 

It does not even have anything to do with Pac idiot. Was Pac ever mentioned?

It has something to do with the revisionist in this board,

LIE? When presented with facts, it becomes a lie?

The thread is actually started as a discussion of a strategy that might work for Mosley, then was spewed with lies (really lies, not "lies" with facts) about weights during the Mayweather-JMM fiasco.

 

Actually the floydettes should group togetrher in a convention and write a novel. With all the revisionist around, I am sure it would be a bestseller.

 

The question is if Mosley intentionally comes at 149 or 150.

I am sure that he could make 147, but he has to dehydrate a bit as Mosley fights close to 160 at fight time.

If he avoids dehydrating, he could be stronger and if he employs a strategy like clinching and pushing, and making the fight dirty or awkward like castillo, he could win.

Simply said, I don't think Mosley can win in a boxing match.

Mosley has only two tangible advantages (meaning not debatable)- strength and size.

Speed, endurance and skills - I am not sure at his age if what he has is at par with Mayweather's

A fighter exploits whatever advantage he has, which in Mosley's case is size and strength. Those attributes are probably better employed in a "dirty" fight, with lots of close fighting, clinching, pushing, or leaning,

A fighter has to concede the attributes that the other fighter has and try to minimize or eleminate that - in Mayweather's case, speed, skill, endurance. That means than "potshotting' or fighting in the distance should be avoided at all times.

Some of you might say Mosley is as fast, as skillful as Mayweather, but realistically, "as fast term", there is still a faster one between them. A good strategist would concede that as attributes for Mayweather and work on what attributes that Mayweather can not have..

So, if he intentionally comes in at 150, would the fight still go on?

 

Stupid.

The question is if Mosley would intentionally not make weight by not dehydrating himself, meaning exaggerate his advantage already, which is SIZE.

Mosley can not win a boxing match against Mayweather. But he has a chance if he makes the fight dirty ala Castillo.

It is not a comparison to Mayweather vs. JMM, Paranoid floydettes.

There is much more than titles in line here.

The winner of the fight would live to fight another day in another mega-fight while the loser will be relegated to fighting Clottey or berto. So, even if Mosley will lose 25 per cent of his purse, that could easily be offset by his next fight if he wins. We all know that Mosley has financial troubles and losing is equivalent to killing the bird that lays the golden egg.

Although, I would find it funny if the fight would not push through if Mosley would intentionally come over 147.

Which make it actually a good strategy because Mayweather can not back out of the fight otherwise he will be labeled hypocrite.

To Richardson :

RE : Strategies

1. Come heavy, do not dehydrate a bit.

2. Make the fight ugly and dirty, with lot of clinching and pushing and leaning (what are the chances that May can unleash a KO punch in a close quarter fighting?)

 

DOes not make sense? Really.

What is Mosley's advantage? Size and strength!

Have you read "Art of War" by Sun Tzu?
