135 Mosley vs 135 Floyd? Who would win

[Doctor_Tenma]

This is a tough fight to call because Mosley was never a 135lbs he was 140/147 boiling down to 135, he fought at 140 as an amateur if remember right and he said many of time that he only makes the 135 limit for a few hours.

Physical advantage of strength, power goes to Mosley unquestionably and i think he is quicker than Mayweather, however Mayweather had quicker reflexes and the ability to adapt.

This fight would be so hard to call because Mayweather would not get away with laying on the ropes with Mosley, he would get hit hard if he did that against Mosley, Castillo cracked him on the ropes so there is no reason to think Mosley would not have his success if Floyd decided to fight off the ropes.

We know Mayweather is the better Boxer but can he keep himself out of arms way against Mosley for 12? Mosley would put on hella pressure, Mosley is capable of taking what Floyd can dish out to, beause he has an excellent chin, where is Mayweather gonna get the respect to keep Mosley off him?

Good point but as for the bold, I see no need to ask such a question. Mayweather had good power at 135. Problem here is Mosely's inability to adapt. Not only does he have 0 adaptability, he doesn't change even in the rematch!

Dangerous fight for both fighters, I actually can't choose a winner.

Floyd has better defense but Shane has much more power.

Both similar in speed.

SSM wins by UD. More power and equal speed.

Zab has more power and equal speed.

There is also the matter of ring intelligence. And defense.

Da **** Zab gotta do wit it? He's inconsistent as hell. Don't compare him to SSM. Seriously homey.

To be honest, Shane had faster hand speed.

Tough call...I'd favor Floyd but it would be difficult...I could see Shane winning as well tho

You are right but i will give him a little credit for the second Forrest fight because i thought he did change up a little bit, even though he still lost that fight was closer.

I did not compare Zab to Shane. I compared Zab to Floyd in their bout. I was illustrating how your criteria fell far short of the end-all-be-all. Power and speed are not the sole criteria. And I used Zab as an example of that.

Seriously, homey.

IMO, a guy wih higher-order ring intelligence who can adjust has an advantage in every fight.

When Floyd makes adjustments, and Jack Mosley starts saying. "Shane, don't worry. Just powerbox", what then? Homey?

shane is completely overated on this forum. He has proven he cannot handle an american boxer and looks GREAT in front of mexican fighters.

mayweather can adapt to any fighter. Maywewahter wins this on UD. If mayweather fights mosley you will see mayweather totally outbox mosley but then again once he does you will all claim "he's old".

ya know.... we would have an answer to this or something close, if Shane wouldnt have blown him off like he did...

im not a big FM fan, but he has a legit reason for denying Shane a fight...
