    Now that Mosley is THE man in the welterweight division after destroying Margarito, why no one ever mentions this matchup?

    I would go with Mosley, he will be catching Williams with good shots throughout the fight. Williams will land some nice punches but Mosley has a very good chin and I can't see how Williams can hurt him. Mosley would be too fast , too strong and too skilled, and will frustrate the hell out of Williams.


    How you guys think this fight would go?

    It will be a tough fight for both man. Williams do have the reach advantage and if he can keep mosley away then i give him a chance of winning by decision. Mosley is aggressive so i can see him pressuring p.will like quintana did and win a decision. It can go either way:good Very interesting fight. i hope it happens.

    Dam I never heard of this, any reasons why he said he didn't want to fight him?

    I think that it would look at lot like Cotto vs Mosley (I know their styles are not the same). Williams would try to pressure early on. He has underrated speed and would try to make mosley look his age with workrate.

    Halfway through the fight Paul would realize that he is not going to run through mosley and he would start boxing. THe fight would end up close.

    Assuming Williams could make the weight comfortably, he'd win an easy ish decision. All wrong for Sugar, distance, accuracy, knows how to deploy them.

    I respect Sugar a great deal, but I think Williams is the type of guy who would really trouble any version of Mosley.

    That's a good question. But Shane (or someone in his camp) has definitely indicated that he didn't want to fight him.

    And from what I have understood, it wasn't a thing of ducking or fear or anything like that. And I don't think Paul's people feel that it's a "duck" situation either.

    I'll take Paul over Mosley...I think Mosley would ook good in the first few rounds but Paul would land alotta punches later on..Paul by UD 116-112
     
  14. Tough fight for both guy's Shane is 5-8 Pw is 6-2 so thats a bit of a problem, however Mosley has the speed, toughness, and experience, to off set the size i would go with Mosley in a very close perhaps controversial decision..
