Shane Mosley stands less chance of beatin Mayweather than Pac and Cotto. He is too old and tailor made for Mayweather. Mosley does not have the style intelligence or youth to beat Mayweather.

Nice Work, you were 100% spot on.

How do you see Pac-Margarito playing out? You should probably start a new thread for that one.

I disagree
SSM pressed Winky, but he got picked off something chronic. He will get hit with too many clean shots and lose a wide decision imo. Plus he gets tired these days. Only reason he did not get as tired against Marg was because he held onto him to half Marg's workrate.
Cotto/Pac have youth and speed and above all they have the reflexes that Mosley no longer has. Cotto was hitting Mosley with ease and sliding under nearth him. Imagine what Mayweather would do.
How old will Mosley be if they get it on? Floyd's gotta fight Marquez before that, if it does happen.
Shane was blowing against Cotto, and he was gettin nailed with flush shots by Cotto. What makes you think he stands a good chance when he has proved in the Cotto fight his reflexes are virtually gone.
Mosley is 37 now FFS
.............:wave:
you were clearly wrong here, though
:rofl:
Nope, i was clearly right there, what kinda "best fighter in the world at 147" is blowing out his ass after 2/3 rounds Lol

True say my man.:rofl:
So wait...you mean to tell me the Number 1 WW int the world stands no chance aginst Floyd.
Wow....
That Mayweather guy must be pretty damn good.
Considering SSM beat Margarito...Collazo....and almost beat Cotto at WW.
No he is not the number 1 WW in the world in my eyes.
It makes no difference if he beat Marg. At the end of the day, he beat Marg because stylistically he had the style to beat him. In the minds of fickle fans it may catapult him there, but if you apply some commonsense its quite obvious he is not the best at 147.
I wouldnt say that he has less than a chance to beat pbf per say but i see your point.Now Cotto was able to get to SSm bcuz his timing not bcuz he slowed down but he has more of a chance to lose to pbf bcuz floyd will not let him hold on an his reflexes are still sharp!!!!Mosley does not have the style to beat Floyd but Floyd cant deal with pressure fighters an if mosley can press the action then hes able to win .But yea i understand where you comin from my man!!!!!

pac is too small and cotto was destroyed by margarito while shane destroyed margo.
and to top it all off, a mutual friend of mine and mosley tells me that shane is losing it mentally..... jat
If there is a chance of him biting Floyd's ear off id like to see the fight.
even the biggest mayweather fans who are true boxing fans wants to see and have wanted to see mosley vs mayweather for years and if theres any chance of it happening lets get it done. hopkins160-calzaghe168-jones175 while dominating there divisions fans wanted for years for these men 2 collide probably werent happy with the outcome of the bouts but happy that the fights got done. what im saying is i dont care who wins this fight i have been wanting to see this fight for a long time.
It's still debatable because Mosley also doesn't have a win against Cotto and they've fought. It can go either way. I do agree that Mosley is LOOKED at as the #1 WW, but Cotto isn't necessarily the lower tier of the champs. If Pac does end up fighting Floyd, Shane vs Cotto II NEEDS to happen and the winner of that fight without a doubt deserves the shot at Floyd.
ya i would 100% agree with that ... unless cotto loses to clottey
I watched it again to analyse his performance and to see how his chances faired against Margarito ( watched before Marg fight). I do this when it comes to big fights.
I see it like this :
Mosley beat the man (Margarito) who beat the man (Cotto)..... so in my opinion Mosley is the man at 147.

Okay nice one. I was just curious. I could of been wrong. I thought Mosely was losing, but then again i did not score the fight and you never get a true reflection unless you tally up the rounds.
To Mosley's defence i did think that his timing was off. I did'nt think he looked old or shot just that his timing was not there etc.

I mean I kinda agree with you. If I was to give my WW rankings, Mosley would be number one. But ranking him number one and saying he's the best at WW are different IMO.
Mosley isn't currently the best at 147. He's ranked number 1, there's a difference.
Ranking isn't always indicative of who the best in the division is,
especially in the situation Mosley's in.
Bolded part.............Aint that the truth.
Just out of curiosity why did you watch it again?

He could be the best, I'm not saying he can't. But it's certainly up for debate.

You guys are blinded by the way Shane looked against Margarito. Shane has a problem with "boxers" and awkward fighters. Margarito is there to be hit and blocks with his face.
I can't argue with that and I agree to an extent. Shane has had issues with boxers when they start dictating the pace, but at the same time he's in no way a walk in the park for Floyd. Shane IMO will try to trap Floyd and just put tight pressure on him to get his shots off. How well is Floyd's defense after almost a 2 yrs hiatus? We shall find out.
Now where I see Cotto vs Floyd being the more interesting fight is based on their styles. Cotto is real tricky with the way he selects his shots. I saw it in the Shane fight, but after watching the slo mos and saw how he was timing Shane and sneaking in those straight rights while giving Shane the notion he's going to the body...that's definitely a sign of overall ring smarts as far as outpointing your opponent. Floyd's also incredibly intelligent in the ring and contrary to what people believe on here, he in now way is going to coast through a fight with Cotto. I think it'll be a tough task for both guys in 12 rounds of suspense. I really hope they make this fight next year be it Cotto stays on a run.
We know Margarito is no Mayweather but its a fight people want to see.
Mosley is the best currently at 147. If Mayweather wants to be the best at 147 he has to beat Mosley.
