He outside game is a one-two? Hardly, Berto throws amazing combinations from the outside, and most importantly he has a real jab while Mosley doesn't. Berto's biggest problem is he doesn't move well and he when starts to brawl he squares up(probably from watching too much Mike Tyson, but at least Tyson moved to the side). Mosley's biggest problem is that he's choppy, and doesn't box like a technical boxer, but he also can't do the amazing physical things ROy JOens and Mayweather can do despite his speed and strength, but Mosley's durability, speed and strength give him a unique oppertunity to load up on punches and get away with it, he has pretty good defensive skills, but he doesn't need to because his chin is impenetrable, and he is very fast so he gets away with most of his mistakes against most opponents.
Good point. I think the difference between those guys is that Floyd and Roy dont like getting close like Mosley. Whilst they go into defensive mode and look for counters Shane feels that he is stronger than his opponent and so he wants them to feel it. If he got on his bike like they did, he would be sending out a message that he didnt feel that pyhsically strong but by standing his ground Mosley is saying " I aint going anywhere "
