Mosley was a viscious combination puncher against guys who didn't move well and weren't as fast as he is. It's like Leonard used to be an amazing combination puncher but you didn't see it against the more elite guys because they wouldn't let him throw combinations. Like I said I don't think Mayweather was trying to limit the times Oscar brought him to the ropes, but if he uses as little movement as he did in that fight then forget about the 2000 version of Shane, THIS version of Shane might be too much for FLoyd. I honestly think Floyd needs to keep this fight in the middle of the ring. Judges love scoring for the guy throwing punches and backing the other guy up. But like I said I don't think Mosley has fallen physically that far, and I think he is a smarter fighter. I think this version of Mosley would be competitive with him in his prime, just like I thought the Oscar that fought Mayweather on that night would have been a lot of versions of himself in his "prime" He was very sharp defensively that night, and had an excellent strategy against Floyd.
same can be said about floyd..floyd will try to pot shot his way to a victory..but i think his ;lack of movement with his legs over the last several year will cost him..but not enough to lose
