How shot is shane Mosley? Why is he considered to be in "good Shape" and ready now?

[Hornfinger]

Mosely, like DLH and margarito, has had a bad defeat and is now shot to shit. Pac wouldn't be fighting him if he wasn't.

If shane makes it out of the 5th I'll be surprised.

I dont wheather I would say Mosely is shot, against most other fighters out there he would either win or lose a close fight. Against Pac though he will lose horribly, and thats something I dont want to see cos I like Shane as a boxer and to see him get spanked aint gonna be good !

Shane Mosley is a long way removed from his prime BUT it's only about 12 months since people (not myself but people who's opinion I respect) were still regarding him as a top 10 p4p fighter. He IMO has a better chance of beating Pac than he ever did Mayweather. Floyd is too good defensively for Mosley but Pac is willing to get into a tear up and with Mosleys undoubted power and the fact he still has decent speed it makes for an interesting bout. I fully expect Pac to win but I wouldn't be massively shocked if Mosley landed on Pac and got him out of there.

My prediction for the fight will be either a late Pac KO or a UD win but I wouldn't put a lot of money on it.

I also thought Margarito is shot but the Tony that showed up to fight Manny is a different Tony from the one that fought Shane. That Tony would have beaten several of the top boxers in his division.
Out of curiosity, who would you prefer Manny to fight after Margarito?

TBH, I think he could have fought any of the available fighters.
Before the fight was signed with SSM there were several names presented to him by Bob Arum. He took what I consider to be the easy fight.

Hey Cut, when OLDH and Pac signed to fight, I, like many other people (and the odds makers too), thought Pac would lose because ODLH was so much bigger. Now, it turns out ODLH was weight-drained, and the win doesn't look as good, but it's 20/20 hindsight to say it wasn't a good fight for Pac at the time it was made. It also makes it tougher to discredit the win.

Not me and that can be seen in the posts that I made prior to the fight.
ODLH had absofuckenlutely NO CHANCE and whoever thought he did were clearly not looking at the matchup for what it was.
It was an old boxer who had seen his best days many moons ago and would be a walking corpse trying to make 147.
Like I said I'm speaking for me, whoever thought the weight would be ODLH's advantage were crazy. Yeah it would be an adavantage if the fight would have been made at a weight which ODLH was natural at 154. But that wasn't case.
He had to drain himself down to 147, ODLH naturally at that time walk around 160/170.
I had seen him probably 1 month before he announced he was fighting.
Now that I remember, even before he announced his opponent he 1st announced he was fighting at 147 and right there and then I said no matter who he fought he would lose.
I'm gonna try and dig out my posts so you can see for yourself I'm not turning it around after the fight. I remember even leading up to the Forbes fight he couldn't fucken hit 150.

I think ODLH's main problem was he came in too light like 144 or something then didnt rehydrate properly, he only gained a few pounds after the weigh in. He should have ate more on Thanksgiving or something. It probably wouldnt have made a difference, but he should have used every possible advantage and came in on fight night like around 154 ish.
