Molsey (circa 2000) would have beaten Floyd.

Funny. No one thought he was shot when he rocked Floyd. Only when Floyd survived and beat him up is when Shane is shot, NSB for you.

I'd take Mosley to win a close but clear decision, and if he managed to hurt Floyd with a big shot like he did Saturday, he would not let him off the hook.

Thank god you aren't a professional judge. Well hey, I call what I see. Mosley didn't do shit in those fights. Watch 'em carefully. Slow down the punches. Evaluate which punches were more effective. Split the rounds into minute-long segments. Decide who's setting the pace. Mosley got humiliated by Wright, and neither fight was even remotely close IMO. They say Froch-Dirrell was close, but I (and many others) could barely find a round to give to Froch.

You give a prime Mosley that 2nd round again and Floyd would probably have been knocked out. I didn't like Mosley from the first round. Even in the 2nd round, I saw that there was something wrong with Mosley. Mosley has a killer instinct but it didn't show in the 2nd round and for sure not past it. Age is a killer, .... you never know when its going to hit a fighter but I have seen so many that hit a dead end just about the same age as Mosley.

I accept that about the weight, in any case even the Mosley who fought Margarito might well have beaten Floyd, he looked dreadful the other night, completley gone. C'mon man. Shane has BEEN old. He was old when he fought Margarito, Margarito just sucks. The version of Shane that fought Floyd on Saturday would've still beaten Margarito. Shane's been fighting sorry fighters for years now. Look at who Shane's fought since the 2nd Winky Wright fight. Since then he's fought an old and shot Vargas twice, an old, past-prime Mayorga (who he struggled with), an overrated, flat-footed, slow, cheating bum in Margarito, a C-level fighter in Collazo, Cotto and Floyd (who both beat him). The reason Shane looked "dreadful" to you is because the fighter that was in front of him on Saturday night was the best fighter in the world and still very close to his prime and not an old, shot fighter like Vargas or a cheating bum like Margarito. FLOYD was the reason Shane looked so dreadful.

This Floyd. Even if it were 2 years ago Mosley would have done so much better. oh ok either way it would have been more competitive.

2000 Mosley against 2010 Mayweather? It's possible, yeah. At least that version of Mosley would've used the jab and tried to get his shots off first, rather than standing around all jittery-quittery. It would've been a more competitive fight. But what's done is done. It's pointless speculating about it outside of the Boxing History forum. What? I gave Mosley 2 rounds at most, and only 1 in the first fight. Thank god you aren't a professional judge.

but what i don't understand is which floyd would be fighting the floyd now or the floyd of 10 years ago? This Floyd. Even if it were 2 years ago Mosley would have done so much better.

No, I'm saying if he had his legs like in 2000 then he would have won, not the legs which he had the other night which even an 80 year old grandpa could out run. but what i don't understand is which floyd would be fighting the floyd now or the floyd of 10 years ago?

In the rematch against Forrest, all he did was clinch. Same thing the 1st time around, except clinch way more. They both cliched a lot but Shane landed the harder shots overall. The Winky rematch was very close as well.

so your saying the only way shane mosley could beat floyd is if he was 10 years younger and floyd is 33? No, I'm saying if he had his legs like in 2000 then he would have won, not the legs which he had the other night which even an 80 year old grandpa could out run.

Watch the rematches with Forest and Wright. In the rematch against Forrest, all he did was clinch. Same thing the 1st time around, except clinch way more.

Just saying, compare his legs then to now, it's not the same human being. so your saying the only way shane mosley could beat floyd is if he was 10 years younger and floyd is 33?

Just saying, compare his legs then to now, it's not the same human being. maybe.... but for damn sure it would've been more competitive

I have no clue wtf happen to my boy in the ring saturday

Hell no! No matter what shane shows up, he was never able to deal with real boxers Watch the rematches with Forest and Wright.

You have to give Floyd credit for what he did to Shane. Theres a difference in fighting Marg and fighting Floyd. Shane found that out. Floyds speed, defense, countering, feints and evn his power rendered Shane useless. This isnt Mayorga, or Margarito. He fought Floyd. He deserves credit, no doubt. But Mosley in those 16 months lost a lot, clearly.
