    When did I ever say he was a one-hit artist? I've always said he was an accumulative puncher.

    Good way to put it. Like I said earlier, he's an accumulative puncher.

    I didn't say that YOU said that specificlly, but dozens of Mosley fans on here believe that very thing.

    By the way, what a nonspecific thing to say.. "accumulative puncher" ..EVERYONE who can't blast you out with one clean shot is an accumulative puncher. Rate his power as good, average, or weak if you wanna be more precise about it.

    You talk as if i took a major verbal dump on Mosley lol i gave him credit for being a good puncher but i differentiate 'good punchers' from legit 'knockout artists'.

    And by the way yes i do feel that George Foreman was on a different level as a puncher. Mosley overwhelmed many guys with his speed and stamina. Foreman had no noteworthy speed, never had the greatest stamina, and in his second career had a very economic, low-activity style. He was still sparking 'em out. And he was more of a one punch hitter than Shane.

    Shane is a good puncher. If anything his power is underrated. @ 154, he was out of his league and thats when people started to forget how strong of a puncher he is.

    I think he has the power-the brute strength of a knockout artist even at the higher weights he's fought at. But he doesn't tend to have the patience to look for those one-punch, point of the chin type of shots, usually. I think he has the power to get those knockouts more often though.

    Ok I rate his power as good. He's an accumulative ko puncher you like that more buddy?lol

    Yeah I agree completely that's why I said there power was of no comparison. Foreman would take fewer rounds to finish guys too and could also use his power better than Shane in his third career as seen against Cooney & Moorer. Shane could possibly never pull off a one hit ko in a fight he was losing. But to be fair, Cooney & Moorer weren't known for their chins. He blasted iron-chinned Frazier though that was in his second career after losing to Ali. I get what you mean I didn't mean to come off as "attacking" you lol.

    mosley loads up too much on his punches now, in his younger days he used to put punches together more and often.

    I do agree. If he had a higher ring generalship & better accuracy & timing he could've.

    what difference does it make wether he's a one punch ko artist, his KO percentage is damn good so of course he's a knock-out artist.

    He used to be at 135 but anywhere above that, NO.. He's an overrated puncher.

    I wouldnt call Mosley a KO artist thats for sure.

    I think hes def a good puncher with some buzzing pop, above average definitly but not a Ko artist or near it..... good power though no question.

    If you had asked this question 3 months ago, you would've been flamed off ESB. Now that Floyd beat that ass, he's right up there with Zuri Lawrence and that gay Italian kid.
