Mayweather shows his best dancing moves when pressed about Mosely... he fought a guy (marquez) who was basically two weight divisions lighter. And he`s waiting and hoping for Mosely to get older, so he can then call him out? Mayweather can fight, his skills are undeniable. But he doesn`t dare to be great, or punctuate his victorys with a resounding finish(Hatton doesn`t count). `Sugar` Shane has the speed, right size, power and BALLS to go for the win, and not just `shoeshine his way to victory.Mosely is definitely a little long in the tooth, but if this fight happens sooner than later. We`ll see what PBF can do with a true welter... BTW, Leonard vs. Mayweather? Speed: Leonard, power:Leonard. Leonard would not on try to win impressively, he would actaully look to KO PBF. I shudder to think what the hitman would have done to PBF...
I wish i was a goddamn mod...i'd ban the **** of out fkn noobs like you starting these threads - you must be an alt, a marquez nuthugger.
Ever thought it's because he can do 2.5M plus against Manny Pacquiao? No, you didn't think about that did you, because you're ******ed.
You don't know **** about the sport. Shane Mosley has people like you fooled with a win over a Margo who was made to order for him. Shane Mosley can't deal with boxers he has no footwork has no jab and can't stop a jab to save his life. You think becasue he beat a limited and flawed guy like Margo who stands in front of you slow who plods that he will beat a master defensive counter-puncher like PBF? Hell Cotto out boxed his ass and PBF is 2x the boxer that Cotto is. Mosley has lost to almost every good boxer he's faced, Winky 2x Forrest 2x. The guy is really nothing more than a slugger with fast hands that's really it. If he fights PBF he won't be able to stay with him he doesn't have the footwork. PBF will turn on him all night long and at the end of the fight you'll be saying why did PBF fight this old man.:deal
Beating an undefeated Ricky Hatton with a solid 10th round KO doesn't count as punctuating a win? GTFO! Plus, like many others have said, Mosley is looking for a big payday in the twilight of his career. Mayweather should fight the winner of Pac-Cotto.
Floyd would definitely be favored to beat Mosley. But it still is a great match-up nonetheless. They should fight and if Mayweather would beat Mosley he would get a lot of credit. In fact, it would be his biggest victory.
Jab Judah at the time that Mayweather fought him was a legit welterweight with speed, quickness, reflexes, power, even decent defense. Go rewatch that fight. Judah was winning the fight up to rd 3. By that time Mayweather had measured Judah's, power, speed, timing and rhythm and whooped his ass the rest of the fight and made him have to resort to a cheap low blow. Mayweather can adapt to any style, any speed, any power, any defense. Thats what makes him so special. He was just born to do it and has put in the training in the gym to match his natural talent. He is the ideal combo of natural talent and work ethic.
Now let me ask what top quality opponent has Mosley fought with the combo of speed, quickness, reflexes, power, defense of a Mayweather or even a Judah. Margarito, Mayoraga, Cotto, Collazo, Vargas, Cruz, Estrada, Wright, De La Hoya, Marquez, Forrest are his last 11 fighters fought The only one there with any type of qualtiy hand speed is Cotto and he isn't on the Mayweather or Judah level. Maybe I should use the Mayweather critics logic and state he is scared to fight guys like that and has only hand picked guys with lesser hand speed then him. What happends when Mosley isn't the faster fighter in the fight. He has been able to get away with keeping his hands down to his chest, because he hasn't fought guys with top notch hand speed. Even vs fighting guys slower then him he still has been tagged by tons of jabs to the face. When he faces a guy like Mayweather with his type of hand speed, with his type of jab and lead right and Mosley's lack of defense it over. Mosley is going to try and press Mayweather and tire himself out and Mayweather is then going to go to work on rearranging his face. Or Mosley will try and take his time vs Mayweather and Mayweather is going to kill him with jabs and lead rights.
he still wont get no credit because after he beats mosley...this is whats gonna be said,mosley was old....he was inactive for too long and blah blah blah.....im going were the money at and thats the winner of pac vs cotto
mosley went life and death with ****ing ricardo mayarga...are u pple insane thinking he has any chance against floyd...marg was tailor made for him to look exciting especially after cheato got caught with wraps that would harden to plaster...i like shane but he is well past his prime....if he is so confident he couldve fought clottey, berto or anyone from 147 to 154 but he is shot and know any good prime ww would crush him for cheap...so he is looking for that payday...the only way he beats floyd is using the cream and the clear
This one writes itself: Mayweather signs to fight Mosley sometime in the near future, thus dispelling myths that Floyd is ducking him. Going into the fight, Floyd haters insist Mayweather has never faced someone with Shane's speed. Floyd wins handily. Not a shutout, but by definitive UD. Floyd haters say it's because Mosley is old, and Floyd's never really fought anyone of any credibility. They then start claiming Floyd is ducking Pac and/or Cotto and/or Berto and/or Clottey. Yawn...
