Mosley and Mayorga coming up whos gonna win?

[ross]

Mosley has never been stopped. If Cotto couldn't do it, Mayorga sure as fuck isn't going to.

Mayorga was a big strong Welter knocking out other big strong welters, Cotto was small.

Mayorga was weighed down in his fight against Vargas, knowing he basiclly didnt beed to make weight, I doubt he trained much

[BoxingGorilla]

I'd guess Mosley with ease.

[RozzySean]

Mosley will easily outpoint him. Never mind that Cotto couldn't stop him, prime Vernon Forrest, who at the time was big and hard hitting WW, couldn't stop him. Oscar never hurt him. The only guy to ever hurt was Shane Mosley was Vernon Forrest. Fact.

I know Mayorga beat Forrest, but they are completely different fighters and styles make fights. You beat Shane with a jab. Winky, Forrest, and Cotto all beat Mosley with the jab. Even a older version of Shane eats wide swingers for breakfast. Mosley on points or late stoppage.

[Markusdarkus]

I see this as a waste fight for Mosley. Surely he could have fought a top guy at 147lbs and get back in the mix. At 36yo i really see this as a step in the wrong direction for Shane.

[Rich R]

Mosley will out box him for 12 rounds, that is all.

[Kirkland Laing]

I love watching Mayorga but I can't see him outboxing Shane. Mosley UD.

By your reckoning then, Mayorga has the better punch resistance seeing as Forrest is the only man to hurt Shane but couldnt put a dent in Mayorga with clean shots and free ones at that

So when Mayorga lures Shane in to a shoot out he will be the last man standing and I guarantee Shane lets his emotions get the better of him come fight time, Mayorga aint done as a fighter and he certainly aint done as a shit stirrer

You get hurt most by punches you don't see coming. Anybody who has ever sparred, never mind fought, can tell you that. Forrest's jab allowed him to disguise the right hand and catch Shane flush and off guard with a perfect punch. And Shane recovered.

[ross]

So now its Mayorgas greater skill level that allowed him to slip and block every punch coming his way and counter more effectively getting the ko

[Puerto Rican Punch]

Mosley should dominate by TKO with his speed and better physical condition. Mayorga best times are gone, specially after those vicious left hooks from Tito

You really need to learn a few things about boxing. Mayorga kept Forrest on the defensive, out of his rhythm, and Forrests style played in to Mayorga's hands. I never said it was Mayorga's nonexistant skill level that allowed him to avoid the KO blow. There are plenty of times Ricky Hatton never takes a flush shot and it's not because of his defense. It's because he keeps people on their heels with workrate, angles, etc, and that's what Mayorga did to Forrest. Forrest didn't control the fight with this jab and superior reach in the Mayorga fights the way he did against Shane. I think that's called "ring generalship." Different matchups, different styles. Forrest was able to do that to Shane because he a stylistic nightmare for Mosley. Against Mayorga, Forrest couldn't control him with the jab and he couldn't cope with Mayorga's unorthodox style.

Like I said before, you beat Shane with a jab... controlling distance and disrupting his keeping him out of his rhythm, disrupting his rhythm. Shane slids and steps in, you calmly put a jab in his eye and set up your own attack. If you run in wildly, trying to overwhelm him, you allow him to sidestep and counter you with fast combinations. Sure, he may eat a shot while dishing out a three punch combo, but he'll land three times to your one. Mayorga doesn't have the ability to cut off the ring and make his aggression effectively against Mosley. It's going to look a lot like Mosley against Vargas, maybe not as decisive, but that's going to be the end result. Mosley UD or stoppage 10+.

Go ahead and get in your last word, ross, it will just prove how little you know about this sport. This fight isn't even up for debate. You minimize Shane performance against Cotto by calling Margarito limited. Yeah, well George Foreman was limited, too, and he beat Joe Frazier. That doesn't take anything away from Frazier. You just don't understand how these thing work this work.

Oh, let me guess, you'll come up with stupid one liner and put a smiley face up and declare your the winner. Tool. Care for a sig bet?
