--Shane Mosley and New Boxing Fans--

I dont know how you can look bad shutting out your opponent 12-0 (vs Collazo)

 

Even if he need steroids it was because he fought at higher
weight class, now he is much more matured and he doesn't need
steroids (if ever any) to go toe to toe with much younger top
guys in the division.

As Oscar ... the faded old Oscar gave the same split decision to
Floyd as the prime Oscar to Mosley ... what is your point here?

Winky is much bigger than both Mosley and Floyd,
I really doubt that comparing Floyd to Winky has any sense
I would give Winky 7:3 chances in beating Floyd at 154.

That totally not proving any points, Cotto is good boxer himself
he is no bum who don't know how to box. Maybe he is not
as good boxer as Floyd but he definitely is better pressure fighter
than him, and that mostly troubled Mosley in their fight.

I'm not saying Floyd is not capable of beating Mosley or
that Mosley have big chances to win but your reasoning and
arguments are terrible.

 

Sure did...by doping!:rofl

 

i think its the other way around, the floyd boys are overrating him to seem like a better opponent then pacquiao.

 

Dougie expressed my feelings well today in his Massive Monday mailbag:


I can’t believe how many fans and members of the media are sleeping on Sugar Shane. It’s sad. It really is.

Dude, Floyd didn’t want this fight. He was forced to take it because it’s the only fight (outside of the Pacquiao showdown) that would guarantee him $15-$20 million-plus and it’s the only bout that fans and the media (including his apologists) would accept in lieu of the Pac-Man fight. Mayweather’s side wanted an immediate rematch clause in the contract. What does that tell you about his confidence going into this bout?

Mosley WANTED this bout. He practically begged for it last year. Now he’s got it and you MUST KNOW that he’s already training like a demon in Big Bear, Calif. He can’t wait to put hands on Floyd.

Let me make this plain for you and all the other doubters out there. There’s nothing that Mayweather can put on Mosley that will keep him off him. I’m not saying that Mayweather can’t make Shane miss and counter with accurate shots. But how many punches will he dare to let go with? How many exchanges will he risk with Mosley? How ACTIVE will Mayweather be?

That’s the question, my friend. Why don’t you do a little research and check out CompuBox stats on Mayweather’s average total punch output per round at welterweight/junior middleweight and compare it with the welterweight average and Mosley’s average at 147 pounds? You might find that Mayweather is well below the welterweight average (although very accurate), while Mosley is a little ahead of it. Who works harder? Who hits harder? Who tries harder? Who’s going to get the judges attention in this fight?

Food for thought.

 

Mosley has always been one of my all time favorite fighters, but I just don't see him beating Mayweather....

 

Ugh. If you're such a veteran why are you asking this question?

People have their favorite fighters. People know anything can happen in a fight and people know that Sugar Shane has been in the upper echelon of fighters for over a decade now.

If you can tell me one fight of this scale, in the history of boxing where EVERY single person put aside the gut feeling they have or the bias toward their favorite fighter and picked the guy who end up winning, then you can all of a sudden act surprised as to why people are divided on a fight between 2 of the best in the division.

If you can't see why people are giving Mosley a chance, then it's you that looks new to boxing dude.

I couldn't imagine a more boring lead up to a fight than everyone agreeing on a boxer.

Short answer to your question: They are fans of Shane.

 

Although I believe I said this exact thing when he fought Margartio.

 

Coo you followed boxing for 15 years
I was fighting 14 years ago in philly norfolk ny twice a month as a amature stop acting like you belong to the boxing community because you watch.

Give an example of any champion getting destroyed in the past decade like that. Take a good look at compubox and take a good look at what happened in the fight then take a real good look at the man he beat to get there and tell me you seen this before. I havent since Tyson became champ and I was 3 years old when that happened.
something is special about mosley

 

The words "overrated" and "Mosley" do not belong in the same sentence. Mayweather can hide no longer. Mosley derails the Money Train in May.

 

Im glad you pointed that out. Against collazo mosley found it difficult to hit him cleanly with power punches.As a result, he did not load up as much and beat collazo with effective counter punching and activity. Where as against cotto, he didnt find it as difficult to hit him with power punches; thus causing him to sit down on his punches more. Adversely this made it easier for cotto to counter him.

If mosley approaches his fight with mayweather with relatively the same mentality he had in the collazo fight (of not pressing for the ko); he will find more success.

 

It's true. Mosley has been severely overrated because of the Margarito win. The fact The Ring jumped him from completely out of the P4P ratings into the top 5 or whatever it was was pure comedy. The fans are doing what fans do. Eating, drinking, sleeping, and shitting HYPE.
