Is Mosley past his prime?

past prime and not shot.

 

:good:deal Agreed he also looked a little past it against Cotto. If that Mosley shows up Mayweather wins a comfortable decision. If the Mosley that fought Margarito shows up i think he might be able to ko Mayweather.

 

This.

 

he's past prime, but still a good win..if floyd can beat mosley.

 

Definitely not prime. You can see his foot speed and reflexes have slowed and there's probably a very slight drop in handspeed. With that said he's still a force in this current division, but I don't think he'll beat Floyd, who should be given credit for a well-earned victory should it happen, but not too much credit especially in the atg ranking sense. Mosley's been beaten before and has been beaten widely at that in his younger days.

 

After he beat him anyway...

 

he is definitely past but can still conjure great performances a al margo. whether he can give pbf a go remains to be seen

 

I agree with everything except for the very slight decrease in hand speed. He may still be able to throw punches with some speed but he's not near where he used to be during his time at LW.

 

Of course.

 

I agree! BUT most pbf fans wants to think he is prime at 38

 

He's past his prime but lets not pretend that he's shot..

He still a very dangerous fighter evidenced by his last fight.

Overall should Mayweather beat him, it would be a very good win.

 

Most guys are past their prime when they are on this level of the game.

This crap is a pattern for you haters. As long as the fight isn't happening? Mayweather is scared. When the fight is imminent, you guys are reaching 6 ways from Sunday to find a "logical" reason why the guy fighting had no chance to win. The better question is, "What other excuses and/or fighters you fools will come up with now that your current flavor of the month is about to get his butt schooled?"

Win or lose Mosley is a great fighter. Leave it at that and the rest will be settled in the squared circle!

 

Mosley sure is part it, but Shane still KO lil' Floyd.

 

Past his prime but still very capable. It's similar to Hopkins except on a lower level.

 

Being past your prime doesn't mean you're a disaster waiting to happen or a soft opponent, it just means your best days are supposed to be behind you.

Someone forgot to tell this to Shane when he fought Margarito.
