Shane Mosley vs Felix Trinidad at 147.

[Thread Stealer]

I'd pick Mosley by decision. He was good at avoiding punches and I don't think Tito and Vernon is a great comparison.

I don't know about Shane being good at avoiding punches.

I mean he did have a few slick moves here and there in the pocket, but overall he wasn't especially hard to find, and tended to leave himself open down the middle.

He'd wing shots quite a bit which left himself exposed. It often seemed like his offense was his defense. Guys would be so pre-occupied with his attack that they couldn't take advantage of his mistakes.

Tito By Late Stoppage Or A S/d

'I reign like Sugar Shane'.Outside of Roy and maybe Meldrick , Shane was prolly the most remarkable atheletic specimen I'd ever seen enter a ring in the last 20yrs. Prime Shane gave me the feeling I felt when I saw Meldrick and Roy for the first. Tyson will alway be number 1, however Meldrick was my first pure boxing hero, and then can Roy. I alway connect these 3 together for some reason. Now Tito, I never really liked that much. He's a powerful puncher/greater fighter however as a teen back during the early 90's something about him always stuck me being extremely amatuerish. He just had the most horrible footwork I'd ever seen. During Shane's prime, I could envision Shane knocking Tito down(flash) numberous time do to speed/power coupled with Felix's ****ed up footwork and suspect chin. Shane chin is made of granite too, don't forget. Shane for the win. The only way Tito beats shane is by knock out and think would only come by way of constant jabbing and finishing powershots, late in the fight. Tito's jab isn't like Forrest's or Winky's so...

I believe Shane by Decision. He seems better suited at 147, but I bet you he take a lot hard ass punches, but he would give it right back.

Hell yeah, he is a wild guy & often puts his entire body into punches, briefly leaving himself open. He would take some good shots.

At 147 I think he can. Shane is a tough guy, I think his chin is strong enough & he has way too much heart.

[mellow_mood]

prime to prime... i lean towards shane if he decides to box... if he trades... we all know what would happen...
