How much does Mosley have left in the tank?

Hey genius did you ever thing that maybe just maybe his KO percentage going down is more a reflection of him fighting at higher weights than when he started?

Mosley showed he still has the goods. Didn't look great at jrMW but in the Collazo fight you can see that most of his speed is still there. He is still probably about as fast as PBF and perhaps a little slower than Zab.

He is not shot like Castillo or shop worn like Gatti. Mosley still isn't what he use to be but what he still has Elite level speed and reflexes. Even in his prime his power at WW was only respectable.

He's knocked more than a few guys out at 147. I'm not hating on Mosley at all...he's just not totally what he was. He still has something- but is he the man of a few years ago? No. Look at his welterweight fight with Antonio Diaz-a guy who beat Micky Ward at the end of his career. Way back when Mosley knocked this guy out in what...six rounds? Diaz went on to win his next few fights before bumping into Margarito...who took 10 rounds to polish him out. Point? That Mosley was able to use his power to better effect when he was younger than he can now. Yes, him moving up in weight makes a difference...but if he was the same Mosley that fought Diaz I think he would have seriously hurt him.

I know where your coming from but of all the things that I believe Mosley has lost the lowest on that list is his power.

No, I agree. I was talking about this on another thread- I just meant that he is not the same fighter he was. I feel like he still has the power, I think more pop than Cotto even, but that the speed and combinations that helped him use it effectivley have lessened.
