Whats so special about sugar shane ??????

[DURAN_IS_GOD]

In all honesty I don't thinks he's much of a boxer
he has speed
one the best chin's in the business
power and a lot of heart
That's what's been carrying him over... not his boxing skills

that is incorrect..... he has great boxing skills. he put on a boxing clinique against collazo

have you even seen him fight in his prime? he puts his punches together very well. hell people were calling him the next sugar ray leonard

This is exactly what i think.

This is exactly what i think.

Dont get me wrong hes a good fighter will go down in the history books

but to be considered great is somewhat an exaggeration

He could not box he had athleticsm and the heart the size an island that

is all.

[hemichromis]

aside from his granite chin sugar shane isnt really that good of a fighter

i commend him for his heart which gets him the win in most of his

fights but his so called hand speed isnt that evident to me.... well i know

he has hand and foot speed but he doesnt use it properly.


he doesnt jab

he doesnt box

and he doesnt throw crisp accurate shots this guy punches with his

eyes close (i thought judah was BS'ing but hes not).


I mean sugar shane has power but his string of Tko's kinda stopped

at lightweight where he was a knockout machine.

I hope judah beats sugar shane but I expect sugar shane to win a ud

because his stamina is unbelievable.

but that being said sugar is just too vulnerable to get hit by judah

he shouldn't have moved up! at lightweight their were few in history who could topple him but even with his weight lifting he was grossly overpowered at welter. he looked tiny next to winky wright!

There is no way I would argue with this. After the Cotto fight this sort of sentiment is fully founded and well deserved. He's better than he showed, but who gives a ****? We're only as good as our last performance.

at the moment mosley is past his prime and a mere shadow of himself when at his peak...he was a very good fighter at his peak (especially by decisioning de la hoya twice and vargas twice...)

i have to ask; (especially considering your username) are you a big judah fan?

no offense; you just make it sound like sugar shane is the most overrated fighter in the sport.

[Silencers]

Some of you guys should watch some of Mosley's older fights before saying some of the things that has been said in this thread.

He was brilliant to watch. He had very good footwork, head movement, feinting, speed, power, combinations.

He's obviously not in his prime anymore but he managed to give Cotto one of if not the toughest fight of his career so far.

[boxing_great]

what a silly silly thread.

[slicksouthpaw16]

He is a 3 division world champion, one of the fastest fighters of our generation and the most impressive lightweight to watch. He was the only person to fully concur Oscar De La Hoya and was unbeaten at lightweight. The only reason why he moved up was the get the bigger paydays. He could fight going backward, throw volume punches of combinations that were lightning fast, great chin, heart, work ethic and ability. He was also pound for pound the best fighter at the time Vernon Forrest upset him back in 2002.

mosley ruled the lw division in his prime
