    I don't think Mosley's problem was moving up in weight too quickly.

    What limited his effectiveness was that he got into some bad habits and became too much of a brawler. I was shocked at how well he jabbed last night, it's been years and years since he focused on throwing quality jab. He was also stepping back and countering, doing all types of stuff he hasn't been doing.

    It wasn't so much of the weight moving up..it was how he moved up in weight..he increased weight training and got too bulky for his combos to flow out...and he started to believe he could kayo the bigger guys. so he stood and traded with them. but that bad strategy in term of how he moved up in weight is why in hindsight it wasnt so bad, because his armor is so thick now from banging with the big guys. He feels confident that he can walk down the smaller guys...he kayos pacman, hatton, judah, and berto....rematch with cotto or floyd goes the distance.
