Mosley's Performance

[Rantcatrat]

I brought this up in a different thread and I'm not sure if it has been discussed at length elsewhere. Forgive me for same if it has.

Does anyone find it a little fishy that Mosley had difficulty with his stamina in this fight given that this is the only fight where Olympic-style drug testing was imposed?

I'm not putting down Mayweather's performance because either way he fought a near-flawless fight, but Mosley looked not himself. He had the best trainer (imo) in the business giving him great advice in his corner and every indication was that he had a good camp. He was coming off a career-defining win.

Explain to me how Hatton at 147 performed better against Mayweather over ten rounds than Mosley over 12. It's just a little odd.

Why didn't mayweather have problems with his stamina then? He under went exactly the same tests. Even playing field thats the point. Nothing fishy at all.

unless you are insinuating that this is the first fight mosley has done without roids in him....

And the Hatton thing is simple. He's underated by anyone whos not british. Hatton deserves alot more credit for his performance against floyd. Hatton also had the ref against him. At least Mosley didn't have to worry about both floyd and bayliss.

I did think about it cause his stamina was so shitty so early but then again its not like its an open and shut thing, he is 38 after all.

That is what I'm insinuating, Hornfinger.

His lack of stamina could definitely also be due to his age and inactivity. There is no way to rule out those reasons although it is funny that his stamina was much better in his last fight and the one before that. You don't change that much over night. At least the odds are the same, correct? I mean logically, it could be any of the reasons.

Consider Margarito's situation. You have to assume that Margarito was loading his gloves in every fight prior to getting caught because he himself denies knowing that his gloves were being loaded before the Shane fight. And if he didn't know his gloves were loaded for the Shane fight, he can't know his gloves weren't loaded in his previous fights. Without even looking at Cotto's face, who's to say they weren't? Same goes here. Like Richardson spotting the loaded gloves in the Margarito fight and preventing them from being used, Mayweather may have prevented the steroids from being used here.
