Mayweather vs Mosley at Lightweight

[Spicoli]

I believe we never saw the peak Mosley at lightweight.....I'd take him over Mayweather at lightweight on tight inside speed alone...

I am reall ynot sure , i always thought Mosley was unbeatable at LW , but for what Mayweather has gone on and achived im not so sure.
im gunna fence sit this one

DRAW 12

I immediately thought the same thing as soon as I read the title to the thread.

Mayweather - far more convincingly than he ever would at 147

Mosley has always been the kind of fighter who likes to plant his feet and stand and trade with his opponent.

At 135 PBF would just dance a merry jig round him all night long.


At 147 i honestly believe SSM has it in him to give floyd big problems.

I think it would be the other way around.

At 147 I feel Floyd would beat Mosley, but I agree with you that Floyd would have problems with him. Floyd would win a close UD.

At 135 Mosley was a BEAST! Floyd would've sat back and pot shot Mosley. Unfortunately, Mosley's speed would prevent Floyd from doing that at will and he would throw more than enough punches to prevent Floyd from countering. Shane would win at 135 with a UD.

I've only seen a very small percantage of people who thought ODLH won and thats probably because they didn't observe the fight properly because if you watch the fight closely Mayweather is the clear winner, Mosley vs ODLH 1 was more of a brawl and it was much more exciting so yes of course it was a better performance from Mosley, but remember Mayweather was moving up to a weight class he had never fought at before. Plus ODLH had 1 stone advantage over Mayweather so it was pretty impressive win for Mayweather taking all that into consideration, and like i said GAME its no secret that the 2nd ODLH vs Mosley fight was a gift for Mosley.

Well the people in the arena that night disagreed with the decision. The experts in the studio disagreed with the decision and when the media did a poll amoungst pundits in teh game alot went for Oscar . So I think that could be described as "split " Im not saying I saw it that way but alot of people did .

Any opinions are like assholes . Weve all gotta have one and thats mine .

What experts in what studio thought that Oscar won?

The only person I knew that had Oscar winning besides the one judge was my friend who worships the ground Oscar walks on! NO WAY did De La Hoya win the fight. I had him up by the 6th but after that point, Mayweather took over.

This would have been a tremendous fight. Floyd is the better technical and defensive fighter. BUT...at 135 Shane was truly a monster. Shane was as fast, if not faster, than Floyd at that weight. And the power edge clearly goes to Mosley at that weight. As someone else has mentioned...Floyd would want to sit back, dance, and pot shot his way to a win. But Shane's tremendous speed and power at 135 would make that difficult. Sure, Floyd could use his superior jab and footwork to keep Shane at bay. But eventually....a fighter who possesses Shane's lightning fast speed and combos will get through...even against a great defense like Floyd's. And at 135...when Shane landed...fighters hit the canvas.

...that's a scary thought.
