He proved he is faster and arguably better with the 2nd fight being controversial. But move better ? i disagree ODLH moved around the ring brilliantly in the Felix Trinidad fight.

I have never seen Shane Mosley really move around the ring, especially the way ODLH did. Just because Shane Mosley beat ODLH, doesn't mean he would beat Felix Trinidad styles make fights. And Shane Mosley never met anyone like Felix Trinidad.
If ODLH can move brilliantly against Trinidad, what makes you so sure that a prime Mosley wouldn't be able to do so?

With that question, I rest my argument.
Theres a difference one ODLH is more of a pure boxer, and is a better technical fighter than Shane Mosley.

Two is that Shane Mosley has never ever really used movement, in any of his fights. Three is that Shane Mosley as i said above isn't a pure boxer nor is he a technical boxer. He is a boxer/puncher and likes to stay in punching range, plant his feet and exchange punches.

Like i said earlier Shane Mosley has more of a warrior mentality than ODLH, im not saying he can't beat Felix Trinidad. Shane Mosley can counter very well and he has the speed and stamina, to win a decision against Felix Trinidad.

But what ODLH did against Felix Trinidad, i can assure you now Bruce. That Shane Mosley would not do what ODLH did. And thats use excellent movement for 3 minutes of a round, and stick and move.

Shane Mosley would stay in punching range, looking to counter. And outspeed Felix Trinidad with flashy combinations.
