Who beats Mosely at 135?

Duran, Chavez, Whitaker.

Maybe Buchanan, Dejesus, PBF.

Maybe Camacho too.

 

no one

 

From fighters of today? Prime Cassamayor.
Shane has a problem with skilled soutpaws, bad style for him.

 

you mean winky wright??? because thas the only southpaw he had a problem with, he very easily schooled collazo.

soutpaw not southpaws, 1 is not plural.

 

Howard Davis Jr, Duran, Arguello, Whitaker, possibly Mancini.

 

The Camacho of 1991, at 140 lbs. was not the same as the Camacho of 82-85.

 

looks like i made gilad shut up, ok who's next?

 

Roberto Duran
Pernell Whitaker
Benny Leonard (tough to say based on the amount of film available)
Joe Gans (same as Benny Leonard)
Henry Armstrong
Ike Williams
Julio Cesar Chavez
Tony Canzoneri
Barney Ross

These guys would have real shots too:
Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Carlos Ortiz
Hector Camacho
Esteban De Jesus
Ken Buchanan

 

I think you have a great point about Mosely and Taylor being extremely similar. Thing is I would give Shane the edge on power and Taylor and edge on speed, I think Taylor possibly had the fastest hands I've ever seen not that Mosely wasn't extremely fast himself. He still has blazing speed.

The only problem with the matchup with Chavez is Shane's seeming unwillingness to back off.. I could just picture Chavez landing a body shot and Shane getting into many exchanges with Chavez and paying dearly for it in the later rounds. Shanes the type of fighter that always tries to get back right away, someone lands on him and he goes right after them instead of backing off which is also similar to Taylor. Thing is it seems Mosely is even more unwilling to back off than Taylor was.

The only if here is Shanes chin, which is absolutely AMAZING. If he could stand with Chavez for 12 and survive he very well could win, but then he would probably end up a lot like Taylor did, in the hospital and not the same.

 

Shane had more pop than Meldrick. Meldrick had more speed and that's sayin somethin cause Shane was amazingly fast at 135. I think with Shane having speed and power he'll get more respect from Chavez than Taylor did. It would be an interesting fight and I think Shane would win. I do think that Duran and Whitaker would beat Shane.

 

wtf. howard did not have the balls to beat shane. the first time he gets tagged he runs like a girl the rest of the fight. he was the biggest waste of talent i have seen. million dollar skills 2cent heart.

remember it was not for lack of skill that he never became champion. it was lack of heart.

 

There's very few guys, if any, in history that would embrass and school a prime Chavez.

Mosley is not one of them (if one actually exists).
