be4 im attacked - i kno that its not certain mosely was on steroids. it can also be debated that he will regain his prime. Im a big fan of moselys boxing skills and hope that he regains them.
however - he was caught up in the whole BALCO fiasco....and i read somewhere recently that he has the look and characteristics of some1 who was on steroids - bloated face, sluggish look, immaculate body with lil fat even thou he has jumped and yo-yo'd different weight divisions.
and finally that his demise has been either due to the fact he cant take the steroids anymore and hence his speed has gone, or that his body is finally giving up from the strain....
Any views?
who ta fuck invented Steroids anyways? Probably Hulk Hogan or sum shyt.
what the fuck are you like 12 or some shit? hahaha...
steroids have been around since way back in World War II when the Nazis used them to make their soldiers stronger...who knows how long before then...
His name was dropped in the BALCO hearings; hes from that area (Cali). The tests werent designed to find what they were using. It is very possible/probabable he used something performance enhancing.
One of the big problems with Mosley in my opinion is that there is no more mystery around him. Hes been beaten 4 times by guys who both had the same game plan pretty much. Just stick a jab in his face all night long and he doesnt know what to do with it.
Guys, Shane was offered the Zab fight and declined. He's trying to get his boxing legs under him. We know he was steroids up to the 2nd Oscar bout. What we don't know is when be began using steroids. I like Shane, but I can't say I like the way his career has gone.
he hasnt slowed down , he is just lacking one punch KO power .
at 135 he was so big he could overpower and outstrenght anybody , plus he had his speed . so he KO ed a lot of guys , but he never had real one punch power .
when he stepped up in weight the bigger guys at the elite level have never been hurt by his power . he is an average sized fighter at 147 with no power , and he is tryin to KO bigger guys with one punch .
he should go back to SPEED and COMBOS , but he wants to hurt not to box . he still has it , he should change his state of mind , and go back with goosen , who trained him well before winky2
Yeah he's performed VERY well in Forrest 2 and Winky 2. IMO I think it's a case of moving up from 135 to 154 in like 5 years. That AND the fact that he got beat by 2 "no-name" at the time, but very good fighters. Stylistically, Forrest and Winky were both tall, lanky fighters with excellent jabs. The jab kept Shane at bay during most of the 4 fights.
Mosley is definetly on the decline, but he is still an awesome fighter. You guys don't give him props, but you will when he knocks Zab Judah out!
Are they signed to fight?

I understand where you are coming from on this one. I think Judah gets beaten VERY easily by Shane. Despite his speed Judah does come forward and has defense problems. I think Shane has the better chin and would be able to catch Mr Judah on the counter and possibly do him in inside 5 rounds!
I don't know but in Shanes rematch with Winky he had nowhere near the muscle mass that he used to have. They said it was because he didn't use weights to train with for that fight but he had no bulk at all.
He did look more steamlined in the rematch, but consider that he performed very well even in losing.....supporting the arguement that Shane`s weight increase has possibly ruined him!

HuH wrong again Forrest is a good fighter who has the style to give Mosley fits and beat him waaaay back when they were amatuers too.
I agree, Forrest has that dangle, tall kinda style that doesn't suit Mosley. As for the steriods.....i don`t think a fighter as high profile as Mosley would be able to use them and not get caught. I think Mosley is just getting older and slowing down. And the guy has come up three weight divisions in 6 years, maybe his body has rejected the extra bulk at his age and now his skills are eroding?
Hes suspicious.. Vernon Forrest beating him a couple years back is equivalent to Carlos Mausssa beating Floyd Mayweather Jr.

hmm
Mosley's speed is still there, he just cannot throw combos any more. I don't think steroids increase speed anyway. They increase muscle mass, which if anything could slow you down. Mosley's decline is due to two reasons:
1) Vernon Forrest...killed his ego.
2) Muscle. The man has too much muscle. Mosley never should have fought at 154 lbs. He should have stayed at 147 lbs. He's lifted too much weights, got obsessed with it and those big muscles slowed him down, depleted his stamina, and made him unable to throw the combos we were used to seeing from him as a result.
I think so...
at one point he was like regarded as the p4p best boxer and potential to be one of the greatest...
then he starts looking terrible in all these fights...
OR maybe DeLaHoya just sucked REALLY bad.

I really don't know but he sure lacks the ambition or something he looks so average most of the time now with the exception to a burst from time to time.....but he never follows up anymore and seems to have lost the killer instinct he once had when he was 38-0 35 kos.
