Is Shane Mosley Past His Prime?

[Brockton Lip]

Theres no in between, being hes past his prime but not way past?
I voted yes, hes past it but not way past.

Of course Mosley is past his prime. He is still a decent fighter, but not nearly as good as people like to give him credit for. He's still solid in all areas, but he would struggle with any top fighters at 147 or 154.

agreed. i personally think a floyd/mosley fight is worthless as I see floyd boxing him to a boring UD. everyone thinks mosley has a shot but i dont see it.

yes, he is way past his prime, but still dangerous

He isnt totally past his prime but his bestt days are behind him, he seems to have gotten a little smarter in the ring, and it using his boxing ability a little more instead of just relying on his speed and barage of punches, but he isnt as fast as he was but he is still one of the fastest guys out there. And he still has plenty of fight in him, Mosely, DLH, Forrest, Quartey, Tito, those guys all peaked at around the same time and right they still have alot of fight in them but clearly there best days are behind them, I would include Vargas in that bunch his carreer just went down the drain he didnt pase himself he was going to fast for his own good.

Of course he's past his prime. He's been fighting since he could walk. Does he look like he's in his prime? Of course, I still think he could be Mayweather in a walkover.....

I'm glad its not just me, i went to click on his thumbnail to view his video interview on boxingscenes main page video section, and ****ing Morgan Freeman was staring back at me!!

Shane is the same fighter that I remember, he beat no one when he was a lightweight, he lost in his prime to Forrest twice and he just kicked Vargas and Collazo's ass now, so he's the same fighter.

The fight with Collazo proved that he wasn't past his prime!

Sorry mate but you lose points for forgetting to throw a negative referance to Hatton like Diegofugo did. Even though this thread has nothing to do with hatton and comparing their performances against the same opponent has zero relevance to the initial question.

What you need to do is pick a boxer you hate, use his pic for your sig and compulsively refer to him in all your posts. Then you can be as informative as diegofugo

It wouldn't give the Collazo fight too much weight. Collazo was looking good until he trashed his hand.

The injury sounded pretty nasty - he separated the bone in his thumb, tore all of the ligaments and had pieces of bone floating around everywhere. They literally had to sew his thumb back together.

Mosley's clearly not in his prime but is still a very good fighter and is still in terrific shape.
