everyone keeps saying the prime Mosley would win. Here is his fight at 28 years old against Willie Wise. The fight right before his Oscar fight and he wins by 3rd round KO. Mosley is just as jittery & doing so many unecessary movements in this fight as he did with Floyd. He also is using no jab again and when he does, he paws with it. That cat is not beating the Floyd who Mosley just fought.
Also keep in mind the opponent which was a typical Shane opponent at the time even though he was 33 fights in. Everyone loves to say now that Shane has fought so many better fighters than Floyd. At 33 fights, Floyd's resume was far far far superior to Mosley's and when Shane did step up, he started to lose. I love Shane but he's not better than Floyd and wouldnt have won in his prime. This vid shows that. No doubt he has mad speed but Floyd is the far superior boxer who can do alot more things.
Senior was right about shane being jittery & Roger was right about him not having no jab to beat Floyd with. In this past fight he tried to do the pawing jab but he telegraphs everything. Everytime he pawed, then Floyd caught him with a jab as soon as he was about to expolde and then followed it with the right hand that would land flush over & over again. That **** had nothing to do with prime. Floyd just is a better pure boxer. Then again, if you watch the Margarito fight. He fought the same way as he did with Floyd. He's definitely much better in his prime but Floyd is a bad style matchup for him. Every good fighter with boxing skills will give him trouble due to his style. If you can pop that jab & box then Shane will have problems
