Shane Mosley vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr: The Perfect Storm

[Majesty]

I still think PBF wins now at 147. I don't think Mosley against a faded Vargas is a good example of him beating PBF and when did Mosley look good apart from that? I'd like to see Mosley at 147 first,see how he is,is he faster,more combos etc?

Your probably right, I don't think Mosley would beat him now he's slipped just enough so Floyd could outbox him handily imo.. But Mosley did look good in his rematch with WRight, it's not as if Vargas is his only good performance in years, then again that's at 154.. Definetly he should take a tune up/lesser opponent(like Margarito) at welter just to see where he's at. He definetly has the power to KO Floyd, that's what would make it very interesting imo, and Floyd certainly couldn't budge Mosley.

I'm not sure about Margarito. Shane even in his prime was troubled by taller fighters. But margarito doesn't use his height so I guess not. Shane should move down and fight one fight at 147 and then fight Margarito. We don't want the same thing that happened to Roy to happen to Shane. Needless to say I was shocked when he came in 154 for vargas. I thought he'd come in 149 again.

Yeah he has struggled against taller fighters, but he hasn't had too much trouble with BUMS in the past.. (Im really just trying to rag on the Game lol)

Look at what happened to Roy against Tarver(first fight) how good Tarver looked. Impossible things can happen

In my opinion Mosley belongs at 147 and Floyd belongs at 140. I think there is still enough Sugar to KTFO of Floyd, against Vargas his movement was good, his timing was there, his speed was good his chin has never been in doubt and his power is as good as ever.

Floyd struggled with Zab for 5 rounds ask yourself if Mosley would struggle with Zab? If KT can do it in two then Mosley would do it in one!!

The only factor working against Shane is age.. at 35 he is running out of time.

[bigragu]

I think people are too eager once they saw Shane against Vargas rematch doesn't mean he'd beat Mayweather.

no...but Sugar Shane has a distinct size advantage....this could play into SSM's hand....we'll have to wait and see how PBF does against Baldomir...for the record I'm going with PBF....

[The Boxer]

shane would have trouble with zab. theres no shame in having trouble with zab judah. he might be an idiot but he has great hand speed, good power, pretty nice defense and good footwork.

CC, was about to say the same thing.. Mosley might beat Zab, but there's no way he wouldn't have trouble and lose rounds unless Judah slipped up real early, imo.

[The Boxer]

thank you

[GAME]

Most fighters would struggle with Judah, cuz he's quick and has good boxing ability however the first time they land it may end the fight . The problem with Floyd is that even when he lands his best shots on the most chinny of opponents , he still cant wobble them . Hes always going to have to go the long route and every second hes in the ring with Mosley , its danger

Against Shane Mosley, Judah would be under more preasure than Floyd put on him with just as fast hands to deal with and having bombs dropping on him as well... yes he would slip up early.

In my opinion if Shane fought Floyd the same way he did Oscar albeit a little reckless he would walk through lil'Floyd punches, hurt him and win a close decision

Mosely v Mayweather is a fight I wouldn't know who to make the faveourite, because it all depends on whats left in Shane's tank. Its tough to see whats left of him when he hasn't been stretched by a top guy in prime shape for years. I think that at this point, Floyd has him outmatched in nearly every department, Mosley has a big punch now though. Its a pick em IMO.

A big punch is a good equaliser

It wasn't even two years ago that he came close to beating Winky and since has fought four times.

a minor point of interest is that he has a 2 inch reach advantage and is 1 inch taller. Which is probably not of consiquence since the only way to beat Floyd will be up close, not playing darts from the outside. One punch at a time won't win this fight.

[yoitsdan]

That rangy left hook mosley throws could be the one, if he throws it 5 times every round, and one lands on the shoulder or chin every time its bound to do damage.

LOL,bastard!!! I think Mosley better take a few tune ups if he wants to fight the Tijuana Tornado because I would put money on Margarito beating him,it's just something I am super confident about and I think Shane saying he was not ready for Tony is an acknowledgment that Tony can damage him. I expect Shane to start off faster but I honestly believe that Tony outhustles him and outworks him towards the end of the fight for a splt decision or UD. Margarito's probably the best bum in boxing!
