Tszyu v. Mosely at 140lbs

[Dick-Sucker]

I read a thread earlier asking about Tszyu v. Cotto at 144lbs. That's certainly a tough fight to pick, but then I thought that this match-up was even more of a pick 'em. These are two of my favorite fighters of the last several years, so I have plenty of reasons to pick either one. Although Mosely skipped over Junior Welter altogether to fight ODLH, I thinks it safe to say that he would have been a force at the weight coming up from lightweight. Tszyu's credentials at 140 are well established.

Kosta. To powerful for mosley. Don't underestimate this russian/australian. He was a top fighter.

Whats that old saying folks ?? timing beats speed right ?? and i will actually go with that logic and say Tszyu could pull it out, Mosley was never a great pure boxer, he was more of a boxer/puncher. Mosley does get hit quite a lot he isn't a defensive master by any means, Mosley's speed would trouble Tszyu badly but like i said earlier Tszyu has excellent timing and he could time a right hand bomb and put Mosley on his backside. It really depends on how much Tszyu can time Mosley, if he can't time Mosley effectively then Mosley would walk away with a clear cut UD.

You can't use his fight againt Cotto as reference. His style has gotten "lazy" to put it, he stands around a bit too long without jabbing/moving.

In his prime if he fights like he did against DLH, Mosley by Decision.

This would be a great fight, Mosely close UD very close i mean the difference is a single round.

I'd never underestimate Tszyu. That's why I picked him by a close decision. I wouldn't underestimate Shane either. Tszyu had big power, but Shane has always had a great chin and recuperative powers (and his power at 135lbs was also excellent). This fight would have been a barn burner, but I think both guys' chins would have held up for twelve.

Mosley UD.

I got to go with Tszyu. Mosley's power at 135 was extremely overated. Have you checked out the fighters he was fighting at that weight. Tszyu is an underrated boxer and you can't forget that he was a top amateur even beating Vernon Forrest a boxer puncher. I know that Mosley was fast as hell but is often wild at times when he tries throwing punches like E Honda which would Tszyu would counter. Mosley's power never translated well past his 135 days with the occasional exception of bums like Willy Wise or Vargas.
