Man that shit is a beauty. He throws it in two ways. One as a short and sharp punch on the inside. And the other as a springing left hook from distance.
mosley is great when you're right in front of him..he has serious problems with mobile boxers tho...thats why he was matched up alot with mexican type fighters..notice his loses come from slick boxers..forrest,wright
forrest and winky are not slick boxers... just cause they are black doesn't mean they are slick.
forrest just has too much height and reach for mosley. mosley couldn't get inside and work.
winky was just too big and even when mosley got inside, he couldn't get around winky's peekaboo guard.
both guys have excellent jabs. mosley loss to them has nothing to do with "slickness" or "blackness"...

Yeah but you also have to remember that both Forrest and Wright were alot bigger than him especially Wright. Mosley didn't have any trouble at LW against all styles and hes only lost three times at WW and that was argueably out of his prime against Cotto (I see his prime as the first Oscar fight) and it was still close, it was the wrong gameplan for him. I'm 100% sure if he fought Cotto again he'd knock him out.
Vernon I think was the totally wrong style and I rank Mosley far ahead of Vernon in total
anyone standing toe to toe with mosley is in trouble..he's all power
yeah i think his speed and power are too much for any WW. i jus wish that he had incorporated more boxing into his work, the few times he has lost its been because he was outboxed.

Mosley is the ultimate destroyer of come forward sluggers
Speed, Power and a solid beard, that dude will destroy any Margarito-esque fighter
You right. Seriouly though. I just rewatched that Margarito fight. In the 8th round that left hook abosolutely staggered Margarito. I think he dropped Collazo with it too.
I just love the power and sharpness that he throws it with. He gets full leverage on it.
