    Prime Mosley has a 50/50 fight against Mayweather. Prime DLH beats Mayweather imo.

    I don't think Mosley ever had the tools to be sure he could beat Mayweather.

    I bet Shane would look "tired" after two rounds if he fought Floyd at any point. He wasn't gassed - he was being countered and when that happens, you become hesitant and retreat into a shell. Mosley just couldn't compete with Floyd's boxing skill.

    Against Pac, I'm not sure. Manny had the power to hurt him and would always out-work him. The younger Mosley could take advantage of the decent looks he managed to get though. This would be far more interesting to me.

    It's kind of easy to stay undefeated when you duck challengers for various reasons or take a vacation when the whole world is clamoring for you to take big fights against prime fighters, and that's the bottomline. I'm not going to get into a pissing match whether you think he ducked or not. It's the opinion of many boxing writers, fans, and myself that PBF has ducked many prime challengers and/or fights. Not saying you have to like it or agree with it, I'm just stating something I believe.

    Floyd wouldnt even friend Forrest or Winky on Facefook in case one of them poked him.

    These two would fook him harder than Ron Jeremy.

    I take a younger Mosley to beat both Floyd and Manny. He had a much more dynamic skill-set, and was an amazing physical specimen.

    Winkster and Floyd are very good friends.

    Vernon Forrest would've had a good chance against Floyd, I agree with that.

    A Younger more aggressive Floyd takes a couple more bombs from Mosley, but will adjust and will give Shane a more brutal beating, and Shane always being a mental midget he folds and possibly quit on his stool like he tried to against both Mayweather and Pacquaio, and that's saying something considering I feel he already gave Mosley the ass whipping of his life. And to those who say a Prime Mosley would have finished May, he was simply hurt from a punch on the temple he didn't see, earlier in that second round he took the best punch of Mosley's Career and didn't even flinch, I still don't see how he wasn't at least put on his ass from that punch

    Manny simply has no chance against a prime Mosley, he couldn't find a way to hit the shot version of Mosley, who never displayed head movement and always had suspect defense, not to mention that it was obvious after vicious counters from Floyd he ruined his chin, and had him shamefully afraid to pull the trigger.

    Yup, his pops had to talk him out of quting in the 1st Winky fight and also, the 1st Winky fight, and don't forget he asked his trainer for the towel against Mayweather, and got caught on camera begging Nazeem to stop the fight vs Manny, Mosley has always been a mental midget, the reason he felt the need to start roiding, and the same reason why he will be look as an overrated fighter short of elite

    Floyds closest friends are dollar bills and his zero . Both of these would have gone if he fought his 'very good friend' Winky.

    It had nothing to do with friendship and more to do with Winky being a monster at 154 and Forrest's jab at 147.

    We're drifting ever further off topic with these posts, so back on topic.

    Any Floyd ****s up and completely befuddles any Mosley.

    Vernon was a good dude and always a favorite, but Floyd will never lose to someone who got dominated by Mayorga, and then had the nerve to get UD right after:lol:

    People overrate Forrest cause of Mosley when the truth is both were over rated, besides Mosley which other elite fighter has he beaten at 147 and 154 considering there were so many names in those divisions at that time, and even in his later career losing to c class fighters, not fighting guys like Williams, or Margarito, history won't be kind to him, and neither will it be kind to Mosley.

    SN: Just took a look at Forrest resume on WIKI and my goodness was it horrible

    RIP Forrest

    His melting against street fighter Mayorga completely had me in riddles. He had great fundamentals though, and could use his reach and jab well.

    I think you need to watch a little more of Shane when he fought Oscar at 147.

    These were some of Shane's best punches when he wasnt 38 years fooking old!!!!!
