Mayweather Vs Mosley

[Jim Jeffries]

I don't want them to fight now, i want to know why they haven't fought in the past. After losing to Cotto its no longer an issue in my mind

Had they fought when Mosley was still at 135 and Floyd was at 130, no doubt Shane would have beaten him.

[THE REED]

no doubt? not a single doubt? floyd at 130 was of the quickest fighters ive ever seen in my life... shane was fast... but floyd was like superhuman fast at 130...

u gata have SOME doubt about a mosley win there

Get a clue whoever said Shane would have been worthless to Floyd's legacy.. Shane absolutely have strengthened it. That's not in question. What's in question is why Floyd was fighting Baldomirs, Mitchels and Gatti's. You can make excuses for both fighters not taking the bout but don't pretend Mosley wasn't more than worthy.

[THE REED]

well i wont defend mitchell or gatti.... but baldomir held the WBC welterweight title, IBO welterweight title, and the International Boxing Association welterweight title... and he hadnt lost in 10 years, and had just beaten zab judah who WAS the WBC champ at WW... he was bigger stronger and a chin of granite... in case u hadnt noticed, he only collects the wbc belt... thats why he fought baldomir... at the time, you cant demean a fight with baldomir... no matter how much he outclassed him, he was still a worthy opponent, and champion

and actually gatti was coming off a 5 win streak and also held the 140LB wbc title as well... which is really the reason floyd fought him... it could of been anyone... gatti happened to have the belt floyd wanted.. thats why he fought him


a side interesting note... floyd stopped mitchell in 6... P will stopped him in 4

Mosley was a beast at 135. Floyd was good at 130, but was too green at that point to stand much of a chance against the much more experience Shane. The fight would have had to happen at 135, where Shane was much stronger and also lightening fast. Obviously Floyd has no chance of knocking Shane out, but Shane would've had a decent chance of stopping Floyd, and a decision was in the bag if he didn't.

win streaks and records don't mean much, the only thing that matters is level of competition. Hatton could still be undefeated if he hadn't fought PBF.

all the fights i have... im gonna have to respectfully disagree... i think floyd was faster than shane at 130 and 135... i do agree, that floyd probably couldnt knocked out shane at that weight... but to say a win would be in a bag against floyd is a slight overstatement

So then it is safe to say much of the reason Mayweather and Mosley didn't fight was b/c it would have been very dangerous for Mayweather. This is what i thought.

Floyd was a beast at 130-135. For you to say shane would beat him and probably knock him out leads me to believe you havent seen floyd at that weight. The best floyd came at 130. the floyd you see now is still great but he's just a little man moving up in weight and beating people in the process.
