If we are talking about current form, maybe I agree. But primes? No way. Mosley >>>> Judah in almost every department prime for prime.
It took him 21 rounds to seriously hurt Spinks. Come to think of it, other than that he didn't crack many eggs worth mentioning at 147 either, only jokers like Martell and Rivera.
I use to rank him as a top 20 or top 15 puncher but hes went the distance with Ryan Davis and Vasquez recently so im wondering about it but I do believe Judah is a bit shopworn after the Cotto and Mayweather beatings especially the Cotto one. Judah in his prime was a dam good puncher ask Cory Spinks guys like Mayorga or Karmazin or Taylor couldnt do the damage Judah did in both bouts.
That shot,disabled Vargas was only a year removed from dominating Ray Joval and Javier Castejllo and they dont look to bad right now do they ? That Vargas still had some gas left but Shanes beatings on him twice took the little he had left. Also Cotto was hurt just as bad in the late rounds with Shane as he was with Judah exept this time he got bailed out by a bad decision not delebret low blows.
Yes BUT not power - whos Mosley seriously hurt 147 or higher? Judahs hurt/ko'd: Spinks, Tyszu, Cotto and destroyed a good fe C Level fighters. Mosley never seems to seriously damage anyone
I sort of agree EXCEPT I maintain Judah has more 1 punch bang. Judah had COtto on ***** street every time he landed his left, Mosley threw the whole kitchen sink and eventually hurt Cotto. That left uppercut is brutal. I had Mosley beating Cotto too :good
21 rounds to hurt Spinks? Obviously, you didn't see their first match. Spinks was dropped and badly hurt in the 12th round of that fight. He was ready to go, but the bell saved him. Cosme Rivera by the way, had never been stopped, and since that fight has went the distance with Andre Berto. Zab starched him in 3 rounds.
Yeah id agree with you man freind Shanes my favorite but I agree Judah has alittle more power in his left uppercut or straight left that Mosley does in any punch he likes which could be lefthook to the body,left hook to the head,straight right or overhand right. Shane to me is a more versatile offensive fighter but Judah at his best can punch pretty dam good like I mentioned in this thread he did what Mayorga,Karmazin and Taylor couldnt do thats actually beat and KO Cory Spinks. Also he did drop Mayweather is most opinons and buzzed him in the 4th ? or was it 3rd with the straight left ? Maybe ill just rewatch that fight as I do enjoy it.
Thats right I forgot about that Judah really put it on that man. I also remember Judah looking like crap vs Pineda all night that he pulls out a late KD to earn him the decision that to me shows fight changing power.
