I would exactly say he wouldn't be nothing at the very least Tszyu would be the second best at 140. I wouldn't be so quick to say Mosley would kill Tszyu either. I think this fight would be competitive but I would give Mosley the edge. Then again Mosley doesn't like to be jabbed and Tszyu uses a great jab. Forrest beat Mosley with the jab, Wright beat Mosley with the jab and I believe that Delahoya beat Mosley with the jab in the rematch. If Tszyu can get that jab pumping he could beat Mosley in a close decision may even put him down once or twice.

Yeah but Tsyzu hasn`t got the reach of the guys you mentioned and he`s not as fast as them. i think Tsyzu could fall apart any minute. Despite his victory over Mitchell. He is getting old and long peroids of inactivity don`t help. i think Mosley is too fast for him!

I would say Mosley by decision, because of his counterpuching ability, and the fact that Zoo doesn't have a height advantage on him. Mosley's chin would most certainly be checked though, and it wouldn't surprise me if he was knocked down or out.

How many fast fighters has Tszyu not figured out? Tszyu will find a flaw in Mosley's plan and use it to his advantage. I would give Mosley the edge but it wouldn't be a blowout or one-sided. Tszyu would definitely get respect from Mosley. Until Tszyu shows any major signs of slowing down then I would say he is getting too old. Remember also that Mosley isn't exactly young himself and moving back down to 147 doesn't mean he will dominate.

Good match. Both are veterans. Mosely has problems with fighters with long reach advantage and a good straight jab and Zoo ain't that tall. But....

Zoo has one of the best and sneakiest jabs today. And his right cross is lightning quick like Hopkin's.

Anything goes. But I'd lean towards Mosely.

Guess I'll be the only one that goes with Tszyu in this matchup. As much as I like Mosley, I think KT's power would make all the difference. Shane would be there to be hit, and that chin would take some serious shots.

That doesn't mean that he still couldn't bother Mosley with a jab. He doesn't have the reach advantage but I think his jab would still trouble Mosley. Mosley likes to jumps in and throw wide punches and a jab could prevent alot of that. Couple that with a hard straight righthand and Mosley will be in for a hell of a fight.

Tszyu got some serious punching power, but i dunno if he can beat Mosley. This would be a competitive fight, but I'll say Mosley by UD.

Mosely in his prime for sure. Now, he seems to have slipped enough that not only would he not win this fight, it could be dangerous for him.

Tzu is getting old but is still at the top of his game.
Mosley's day is in the past he is on the way down, his recent record is what 1 from 6?
KT would wipe him out and that would be a sad thing to see.
Good to see Tzu is probably going to go out in 3 more fights either in style or at least with some dignity.

I think it'll be a war whenever these two guys would've met. I like Shane, though. Won't be any walk in the park.

You are right if mosley did not skip 140. Now I wonder if he was so good why he skipped 140. Damn, thats Mudder****ing mystery to me.Tszyu with his ability to box will just outbox him, a la Tackie or Urkal. Mosley does not have a jab and only comes forward. Yes he is fast but he will be walking into that right hand all night long. Sure he has a great chin but that chin will be seriously tested that night, because I believe nobody ever had that right hand. who fought Mosley.

You are spot on.
Why did Mosley skip 140, and miss another big Scalp.
Maybe ask Zab, he can box too, they say he was travelling pretty good in the first round with Zoo, shame boxing is over 12 rounds.
Second round he was a better chicken dancer than boxer. :D
KT is hard mentally and physically his ring knowledge and tactics leave nothing to chance.
Anyway in 18 months time he will be gone, a gentleman that never openly disrespected his opponents and never made excuses for a bad fight or blamed somebody else will have retired.
The Boxing game will not be the better for it.

He was pursuing opportunities to make big fights with the likes of DLH. No way he dodged Tszyu to fight DLH.

Most Boxers like Belts and titles.
If they are good enough they will beat who ever is waiting at the weight they finish at.
I reckon you are wrong mate, sorry.

I have been thinking about this and I think Shane is pretty close too being a shot fighter. I don't know how much he has left, if he looks bad against Estrada his career is over. I think he would he knocked out by Tyszu by the 6th round.
