Let's re-examine Mayweather vs. Mosley for a sec.....

[0james0]

Let's not forget that Mosley also had a fight after Mayweather. How did that one go? It went the way you would expect for an aged fighter

Mosley is done, he showed it in the Mayweather fight and this fight aganst Pac will be his retirment fight

Mayweather outboxed Mosley. Plain and simple. The age factor came in Shane head when he fought the best boxer in the world. The Mora fight was a nasty fight. Mora style was not good for Mosley. Shane is not a chaser. Mora did make that fight look bad. Now if you bring up the Mayorga fight in which IMO, Shane looked very old. And got lucky the ref didn't force him back to the corner to possibly go to the cards.

Totally, Mayorga was VERY unlucky to get stopped against Shane. Mosley didn't go to his corner and was allowed to just jump in and land the homerun. If that didn't happen then Mosley would have just about squeaked out a SD win.

I dont think its as simple as Mosley gassing against Floyd. If he was gassed he wouldnt have been able to do another 10 rounds with the best fighter on the planet. He temporarily punched himself out after trying to finish Floyd and after that he was just technically out his depth. He would have always struggled with Floyds style. Just as he would have always struggled with Moras style. He looked washed up vs Mayorga too and he was outboxed by Cotto so nothings new. Some styles bring the best out in him and others dont. I cant see much has changed since the Margarito fight. He has got older but he is still the same guy and loves to fight guys who come at him like Pac will. He expected to lose to Marg aswel when he was considered an unstoppable monster but look what happend. Marg was the only guy willing to take the fight to Shane. Nobody else dared try that. Pac will.

Remember Roach never wanted this fight. Arum chose Shane. Roach has always known Mosley is a problem stylistically for Pac. Nasim will devise a strategy for this fight which will bring the best out in Mosley. Mannys built up a rep fighting guys like Marg and Clottey, Oscar etc but has never met anyone who can do what Shane can. Im not saying Shane will win but its not the fight people are expecting. They are writing off Shane after his last two fights but the point is Shane would always struggle with those guys. Mayweather was all wrong for him and always has been and always will be. Maybe in his youth he would have had the energy to finish Floyd in that 2nd round but on the outside he always comes off 2nd best. He looked like trash for a couple years now but this is a different fight and a different style but same Shane. Same fighter who got owned by Floyd and same one who destroyed Marg. Whos does Pacs style resemble most?
