Yes, Forrest and Wright beat Mosley. They both went 2-0 vs. Mosley. What about the rematches though? I do think Forrest benefited from a headbutt that really hurt Mosley in their 1st fight, not saying Mosley would have won otherwise, but it certainly didn't help Mosley's effort. Forrest won the rematch by scores of 117-111, 116-112, and 115-113... does anybody think Mosley deserved the decision in their 2nd fight? I thought it was close and I think a case can be made for a Mosley victory or at least a draw. Wright won about 8 rounds out of 12 in their first fight. What about the rematch vs. Wright? Wright won the rematch by majority decision and the scores were 114-114, 115-113, and 115-113. I definately think a strong case can be made for a Mosley win in this one. While were on the subject... what about Cotto's win over Mosley? Anybody think Mosley should of got the win in this one? Cotto won with scores of 115-113 twice and 116-113. In my opinion, Mosley could have gone 3-2 vs. these 3 fighters... with 1 victory over each, without to much complaining from fans. Your thoughts?
The closest of those fights you mentioned was the Cotto fight. Against Forrest in the rematch Mosely looked like he was still intimidated after the first fight. He fought a very cautious, passive fight which was not his style to that point. Against Wright I thought Mosely did well but the size and strength of Wright was just too much and Wright was always ahead. In face I felt some of the success Mosley had with Wright was because Wright seemed to take it easy at times knowing that Mosley couldnt beat him.
All I can remember about the Forrest rematch was Mosely waving his hands in little circles at the end of each round. It was like a spoof of Hagler v Leonard.
I don't think I scored the rematch with Forrest. It was a terrible fight so I have no desire to rewatch it. I had Winky winning the rematch 8-4 I think, and Cotto winning 7-5.
I have quite literally never hear anyone make a case for Mosley winning either rematch and I've frequented boxing forums for half a decade. Stranger decisions have been rendered but Mosley going 3-2 in those fights would have been unjust imo.
I do remember a small number of people on some forums who felt Mosley won the Forrest rematch. But it was such a dreadful fight, no one cared. I know some others felt that Forrest should have gotten the nod against mayorga in their rematch, and that mayorga should have gotten the nod against Spinks.
