The reason i post this thread cause there are actually alot of dummies that thinks Mayweather beat a shot over the hill Mosley.
oscar... he didn't look right...was weakened... even freddy roach made that comment about seeing the i.v. marks that they just hydrated him before the fight and to go at him full steam ahead. He was never in the fight. Mosley was.
We will never know how shot Mosley was because he had a 15 month lay off at age 38. You don't know how much natural talent he lost during that time. I know it's easy to say, "Well, PBF made him look slow" and that might be true but it's also very possible that he lost quite a bit during that stretch. It's just all speculation.
DLH, no question. But Hoya still wasn't nearly as shot as he's made out to be. Overtrained, definitely, but he wasn't shot like late Gatti or anything.
It desn't seems Mosley was shot .. he caught PRIME Floyd with two huge right hands. Mosley was obviously out of shape, rusted, and blood drained ... but rather not shot. Mosley skills were not diminished, his stamina was poor, he stopped using his hands after 2nd round.
De La Hoya was in more decline But Mosley was over the hill against PBF, infact he has been in decline ever since he came down from 154 in 05. Mosley reminds me of Holyfield 10 yrs ago, shane can still handle himself somewhat but he is definitely over the hill. Are you really going to argue that SSM at 38, soon to be 39 is not over the hill?
i don't know why Nuthuggers and haters can't admit it, on here you have some that claim ODLH was peak and Shane was shot, then you have some that claim Mosley was peak and ODLH was shot, I'm getting sick of it.
DLH, for sure. He looked awful. Mayweather was always a bad matchup for Mosely, even more so when he was getting up there in age.
