    Anybody that took punches ( lack of defense ) at 140 wouldn't beat Mosley, it would of took a slick ass boxer and then if they couldnt really hurt SSM they would of eventually gotten knocked out or it would of have been obvious they were running Cotto anyone. LOL

    Zab chin checked Kostya in the first round of their bout. Shane is a big puncher and possibly faster than Zab. Believe Kostya would be getting hit early and often. I stand by what i say. Kostya was an arrogant fighter and that was his downfall along with the way he simply capitulated when hurt. Shane would be in his grill for the full 3 minutes.

    2 of my favorites...

    Tszyu's pin point accuracy and efficiency, timing and connection ratio coupled with his power would trouble Shane all night. Shane's ruggedness, speed and brawling style would trouble Tszyu all night.

    All these people who say one knocks the **** out of the other and vice versa are so full of **** it's not funny. Especially inside 5 ****ing rounds!

    One thing with Tszyu - every opponent who felt his power early on turned tame very quickly fearing a injury. Every opponent under-estimated his speed and timing too.

    Mosley though, was never afraid to get hit and can take 'em like the best. His speed, power and toughness have never been underrated though.

    50/50 for me. I just can't decide and think anyone who can make a clear call is being pretty ignorant of the other fighters skill.

    Unlike most it seems, I don't think this is a slugfest at all. I think this is a battle of ring intelligence, staying out of range (both of them were so tremendously powerful for the entire careers it's just stupid to stand and trade all night and I doubt neither fighter would use that in their game plan)...

    Close, Close decision with both guys bruised and battered at the end IMO - to who depends on the night.

    What happen there again?

    Kostya took the punch...came back to finish the round strong and stopped Zab in the next.

    Zab has better one punch power then Shane..you can bet on that. Shane wears guys down with his speed and physicality.

    He simply capitulated when hurt? :lol:

    He was grounded down and stopped on his feet once..After pretty much wearing himself out putting a beating on the other guy...when he was old and fading, after coming back from 2 major injuries in a row he quit after 11 rounds of getting wrestled and frustrated. Oh what a *** :roll:

    Kostya quite simply has a good chin...and good overall durability. Ive never seen him get stopped by one punch and he is the kind of guy I picture that just not happening to.

    You made some perfectly reasonable points earlier...now you are showing you must have a vast collection of cuckhold movies.

    Mosley on points in a brutal fight. I think Kostya would struggle with the hand speed.

    Seriously how long you been watching boxing? Tell you what go and watch some of Shanes fights at 35 and report back. DO NOT report back until you have watched them. :thumbsup

    Finish the round strong? Zab was all over him the first round. Go back and watch the fight.

    And i stand by what i said. Kostya did capitulate when hurt. Albeit he was old when he fought Hatton but he did it in his prime vs Phillips and mentally folded when hurt badly. He wasnt the type of guy who could take it in the bread basket and then dig deep and gut it out.

    Theres the fight buddy...Zab dominated the first round..I aint doubting that for a second..But Kostya steadied himself and came back at him..If Zab was "all over" Kostya in that last minute..This discussion is over, because only a ****** could see it that way and there aint no point discussing things with ******s.

    Kostya just wasnt a stayer..he puffed often after about 6 or 7 rounds...He got dropped in the 7th or 8th of the Phillips fight..then buggered as took a man sized beating for the next 2 or 3 rounds before his corner stopped it.
    Your basing your opinion on a whole lot of nothing good sir.

    Watch him take clean shots from Hurtado and get heavily dropped..only to come back and bash the **** out of him..Watch him get badly cut against Jake the snake and Bergman, then come back like a friggne madman...Watch him hang in strong after getting badly winded and hit with massive shots by Hector Lopez...Watch him dominate the living **** out of MAG, when nearly every shot he takes is low or behind the head against one of the toughest and meanest fighters of that era.

    I have watched Mosley at 135 and he is not as fast as Judah. Cotto was in trouble against Judah had to low blow to recover. Even Floyd couldn't see Judah's punches and was knocked down to boot. Tszyu took Judah's best shot coming in and took it. If you check back a few pages I have Mosley winning by decision or late TKO but you're just hating. No way Mosley knocks out Tszyu early. Mosley could stop him late when Tszyu is worn down but inside 5 that's just insane.

    What part of Chavez being 99 years old don't you understand? A prime JCC is a completely different animal than the shot one Zoo faced. In his prime he would have beaten Zoo up and made him quit.:deal

    Never thought about this fight. Mostly cause Mosley never fougth at 140.
    IT would be a war. Both guys with alot of power and more offensive than defensive.

    I pick Mosley though.

    Moslet was a faster combination puncher than Judah.
