Prime Shane Mosley vs. Miguel Cotto at 147?

Cotto was able to do it and Floyd is the faster and more accurate fighter of the 2.

 

Mosley, obviously.

but on my satellite program, all week on HBO they are playing Best Fights of 2007 and right now it's cotto vs mosley, and I watched it last night for the 2nd time since I saw in november and that has to be one of the most overrated "close" fights i've seen.

 

Prime Mosley beats 2007 Cotto

He could match Cotto's strength and bring the fight to him if need be

 

And Cotto isnt fighting a prime Mosely. :roll:

 

And Mosley's defense was never top notch.:roll:

 

Mosley.

He dealt with the same style successfully before in his prime so for me there is no doubt.

 

How old are you? Just out of curiosity.

I get the feeling you never watched Mosely in his best days.

 

Check his profile

 

OMG. :|:|:|:|:|

I just knew it.

 

Mosley UD. Comfortably.

 

I would have taken Mosley by an wide UD or late KO. A Molsey that wasn't what he used to be broke Cotto down late, what do you think a prime Mosley would have done to him?

 

What does his age have to do with him watching Mosely in his best days? You have a picture of Kid Gavilan in your avatar. You've made threads about him, I'm sure you're not old enough to have been around when he was fighting in his prime.

 

Age has a lot to do with maturity and depth of analysis. You are correct that anyone can watch old film, as I have of Gavilan, but it is clear to me that he hasn't watched too much of a prime Mosely, or if he has, that he is too young to make a thoughtful analysis.

Mosely didn't have the textbook skills that Mayweather has in the defensive category, but he compensated for that with his activity level, combination punching, and considerable power at the lighter weights.

Using the Cotto fight as a means of discrediting a prime Mosley suggests immaturity at best and an agenda at worst. I would venture to say that he suffers from both.

The young Mosely at 135lbs was a beast. I was living in Pomona at the time of his tenure and took interest in his fights. His first fights at 147lbs were amazing, you can't compare that Mosely to the Mosely of today.

Sorry, but age and experience speaks for something. Thats my opinion at least.

 

No he didnt

 

Mosley never had real good defense in that way, his offense was more so his defense, and he had reflexes, I swear he moved his head more in his prime.
