    Considering the opponent and Mosleys age i thought it was a better and more polished performance than Calzaghes systematical beat down of Lacy!A joy to watch!

    Scurla`s now watched the fight 15 times so far :lol: Shane is THE ****ing man. Im more shocked to see that guys never realised his brilliance from years ago. This is a guy that has fought everyone who was someone and ducked nobody. The guys a throwback like Hopkins. Cherish him while his here as he doesnt have much time left.

    There was talk of Hopkins-Mosley after Shane beat DLH the second time but he lost to Wright twice.

    Thats why I love HAND SPEED and POWER. Handspeed is a gift either you have it or you dont. Boxing skills and knowing how to box can be learnt but Speed and Power is God given. Handspeed can upset any oppenents gameplan if used right, and my God didnt SSM do that, AM did not know what was going on in the fight and how to control the tempo. AM has no defence just his IRON chin which SSM wore down and stopped. SSM looked and performed great for a 37 year old.


    Great fight

    Mosley-Cotto could be a logical fight if Cotto returns well. It was close the first time so why not?

    Yep, no matter how hard you train you never get any faster or stronger... makes you wonder why people bother training?

    Training= over-rated

    Improvements can be made to speed and power if you train but to a limit. For example Margarito can train for 10 years but will never be as fast as Mosley, it's just a fact of life either you got it or you dont.

    If Margarito spent a lifetime training and fighting like Shane Mosley with the same mind-set as Mosley, then he would probably be as fast.

    Fighters are trained differently, approach fights differently. Thats why they box at different speeds.

    Some fighters are just faster than others, sure if you train for a life time just working on speed you can get there in the end. Fast hand speed is a natural talent on which if you work on can make you even more faster. I am sure every fighter would like fast hand speed because it would make boxing easier.
