Thread: Has Mosley ever beaten a good jabber?

I've been watching a lot of Mosley fights lately, and it seems the guys who have prodominently beaten him(including the second De La Hoya fight) Are guys who dictated the range with their jab. Mosley seems to have a really hard time getting around a good-great jab, and the guys who have been fast enough to largely evade his offensive arsenal when he leaps in with power punches were able to really control him. Mayweather has a great jab which is extremely underrated, but I am already wondering how will MOsley be able to work around it? As great as his chin is, it would seem that Mosley can still be kept largely on his heels even by an average puncher(Winky Wright) if they throw a meaningful jab. I know Mayweather is a huge puncher, but he really sticks that jab, especially to the body and I think Mosley will have a hard time transitioning to offense if Mayweather continually is setting him back with that jab.

This would be with the exception of the first Oscar fight, but Oscar seemed to reliant on speed in that fight.

I was going to say Oscar. I don't think it was speed specifically but Oscar knew that if he was going to be drawn into combinations that he had to have more then a left hook and jab.

That (Mayweather's) jab to the body is a motherf****r. Probably the most effectively utilised punch iv'e seen by any fighter.

yea, i remember when Oscar would jab downstairs then shoot another stiff jab up top, another good example was Mayweather against Corrales

Theres the two keys to bridging the gap into contact range.

Body jabs suit Floyds hand condition so its a definite.

That will disrupt Shanes timing on his fast shuffle ins and it will dissolve much of his power.

Unless he deals with Floyds arms on the way in instead of going for shots straight off movement, then he might disrupt the disruptor.
(I doubt that but I live in hope).
