    vernon forrest looked like **** against mora and in the second fight he couldn't stop mora. i'm not sure mosley would've stopped him a few years back.

    Indeed, and I think the reason he survived 12 rounds was experience in the ring that let him survive with a fighter that was by FAR superior.

    I'm sorry, even when Shane pressed the action against Mora he looked like a shade of himself, smothering his own offense, his legs were gone. IMO he would've stopped him in his prime, Mora wasn't so slick that he wasn't getting caught. Mosley would just gas mid combo.

    Ya I've seen enough. Mosley looked lost in this fight and highlight few and far between. Mosley is so off balance and really throwing weird looking punches -- totally uncomfortable.
    This is like 50% of the mosley that fought Oscar. I really think Mosley rose to a level of a different fighter when he fought Oscar both times.
    Anyway, thanks for the video. I like Mosley and will cheer for him but think I'll save my money. That was the fist time I've seen that fight and mosley looked AWFUL.

    Mosley has a puncher's chance in the first few rounds, but after that he will be done................

    he's lucky mora can't punch when he caught mosley with that left hook. if that happens against canelo, he will be on shaky legs, and holding for dear life.

    my heart says mosley but i have no doubt in my mind this won't be pretty. they say great fighters have one great fight left in them. unfortuanately i think he used that one fight 3 years ago against margarito.

    Saul Alvarez is the next great superstar of boxing.

    He is being fed the remains on Mosely before he moves on to the massive fights.

    Mosely will be up against a younger,bigger fighter.

    He hasnt had a win in 3 years,and has recently drawn with sergio mora.

    Alvarez becomes the first guy to stop Mosely and Mosely retires thereafter.

    WRONG: Alvarez becomes the first guy to stop Mosley and he then has 3 more fights.

    Has any poster here been adamant that Mosley will win?

    (I just love the difference of opinion Boxing generates)
