Mosley was 38-0 with 35 KOs before he lost.

the way mosely won his fights, with 35 ko's and showing attributes such as footwork, headmovement, speed, power, body punching ( the things that no one wants to give him credit for now bc he is old, short memories)............................................. it just meanss that he was CLEARLY able to separate himself as an A class fighter, a top fighter.


his 38-0 does very little with establishing greatness across era's, to do that he has to beat pac and floyd. i do think with his 38 and 0 record, mosely was one of the top fighters of the decade.

 

It's just my opinion buy I see Mosley completely destroying Williams at WW with vicious body attacks in the beginning and hand snapping hooks by the middle rounds.

 

How do you see a fighter with Floyd activity to stop an iron chined, witty bigger warrior like Mosley. I will give you respect if it actually happens and I can see of course Floyd winning. But a KO come on

 

Gotcha

 

talent in boxing only gets u so far, when u come across the right opponent u will need will and heart to get u through fight. that is what to me also defines greatness.

the only person who came close to pusing PBF to that limit has been castillo. so lets come back after may 1st and analyze further on PBF.

PBF is clearly the better boxer than shane, but we dont know if he is the better fighter.

Vernon Forrest prevents style problems for floyd.
Winky beats Floyd.
Floyd probably beats cotto.

Shane beats everyone who floyd fought.

Floyd is techinically better, but again based on records and oppnonents, i am not yet convinced that floyd is the btter fighter.

 

its happened time and time again, even the grittiest of boxers have gotten their bell rung from a punch they didnt see coming. and going against the best counter puncher in the game right now, it can definitely happen.

 

Shane never fought professionally at 130.

 

Because EPO helps you make weight right? Idiot.

 

Shane fought Forrest as an Amateur and lost. He was never able to negate Forrest length and booming right hand. Forrest was very negative in the rematch and Shane took the entire fight to him in the first bout and lost despite fighting the whole fight with a severe concussion. Shanes method at 35 was simply to "power box" his way through everyone. That style didnt mesh well up at 47 against bigger welters like Forrest who were essentially light middleweights.

 

The whole jab thing is rubbish. Forrest didnt beat Shane with his jab. He beat him with his right hand that Shane ate repeatedly instead of moving his head.

 

Truth. Forrest fought an awful bout with Raul Frank for the IBF if i recall. Prior to the Winky fight falling through and Shane accepting Forrests challenge Forrest was just seen as a boring spoiler who was a dangerous and known quantity that no one really needed. Shane still accepted the challenge and Forrest made a decent living off his bout with Shane. Dam shame as apart from that one fight i never thought too much of Forrest. World class no question but way to negative for me.

 

At 54 or even 47 i cant see Floyd beating Forrest. Simple physics at some stage takes over. Floyd is an exceptional athlete but Forrest much like he was for Shane would be simply too big for him.

 

Keep dreaming!
