What happens if Calz has gotten old over night

What happens if Calz has gotten old over night ? i remember a while back how many people were predicting Shane Mosley to beat Miguel Cotto many people said Cotto would get KTFO aswell Mosley looked visibly shot IMO ,Cotto was able to tee off on him and Mosley could not react quick enough to counter due to his age his reflexes had slowed down people look at Roys Speed and think he has still got this left and that left but its not speed u need at this stage of your career its reflexes ,Mosley still looks quick but he gets hit more now days same as Oscar did against Forbes ,however if Joe has slowed down or got old over night we could see a very competitive fight ,Joe did not look great at all against Hopkins and was dropped while people wil say Hopkins made him look bad that is down to interpretation

The Mosley that fought DLH the first time would have beaten Cotto. Of course his age was a big factor in the fight but Mosley isn't shot. dont get me wrong i dont think Mosley is completley shot as a fighter

im not trying to say he was getting hit by every punch but he was hit sufficiently enough to get outpointed and IMO his age was the reason for it shot or dull reflexes, IMO his age was a big factor in the outcome of the fight Silencers just out of interest who do u think wins outta prime Mosley v Cotto The Mosley that fought DLH the first time would have beaten Cotto. Of course his age was a big factor in the fight but Mosley isn't shot.

Means he got hit with more than he normally does but it wasn't like he was getting hit with every punch thrown. He still has reflexes, it's just not as sharp as it used to be. im not trying to say he was getting hit by every punch but he was hit sufficiently enough to get outpointed and IMO his age was the reason for it shot or dull reflexes, IMO his age was a big factor in the outcome of the fight Silencers just out of interest who do u think wins outta prime Mosley v Cotto

Roy's way past his best at this point and I still think he can win the fight. If Joe C loses anything comin into this fight not only will Roy beat him he'll KO him.

If joe mysteriously comes into the ring as a shot fighter, he'll be fighting roy jones, a fighter whos been shot for years and they might have an intriguing fight

i dont see the dictinction TBH He got hit with punches he would not have previously and IMO that was down to age ,i think he would beat Cotto in his prime and would not get hit as much as he did in this fight Means he got hit with more than he normally does but it wasn't like he was getting hit with every punch thrown. He still has reflexes, it's just not as sharp as it used to be.

His reflexes were dulled, not shot. He was able to move away from quite a few of Cotto's shots but got hit more than he normally did. Calzaghe has been down before against much lesser opponents than Hopkins. i dont see the dictinction TBH He got hit with punches he would not have previously and IMO that was down to age ,i think he would beat Cotto in his prime and would not get hit as much as he did in this fight

i think the most important thing is his reflexes were shot thats why Cotto was able to land right hands on him and slide underneath him or off to the side before Mosley could even react i think Calz getting tagged against Hop could be down to a little bit of age creeping in im not saying he is shot but maybe he could be on the slide or right at the top of the hill rather than over it His reflexes were dulled, not shot.

Hopkins was not as active either but still made a split decision out of it.If Jones comes to this fight at 50% of what he was then I say he has a good chance.Especially if he is on the juice.Jones=50% Juice=50%=100% are you talking about the white? or the clear?

If Mosley is shot then I guess Cotto must be ranked somewhere between #40 and #25 because their fight was competitive IMO. that my point though Mosley was still able to make a competitive fight outta it which leads me to believe in his prime he would of beaten Cotto for sure

Roy is older than Calzaghe and not as active and he has been exposed many a time so i really can't see Roy winning this at all. I liked Roy back in the day but he has carried his career on way too far.

Mosley looked aged, he didn't look shot. If Calzaghe has gotten old overnight it'd make the fight much more interesting and nobody looks good against Hopkins, Hopkins can make anyone look bad in a boxing ring. i think the most important thing is his reflexes were shot thats why Cotto was able to land right hands on him and slide underneath him or off to the side before Mosley could even react i think Calz getting tagged against Hop could be down to a little bit of age creeping in im not saying he is shot but maybe he could be on the slide or right at the top of the hill rather than over it

Joe doesn't seem like the type to continue any further than necessary. When he is shot he will accept it and retire soon after.
