135 Mosley vs 135 Floyd? Who would win
Collapse

He clinched alot more in the rematch, that was his way of not letting Forrest get off. Plan didn't work because Shane had a hard time landing. On the real, that was a boring as fight. Shane faught scared, he feared Forrest's right hand.Comment

Your reference to Zab seemed to be a suggestion that despite havin those same attributes, he'd fall apart and get beaten down like Zab did. Anyways, I ain't bother to mention ring intelligence and defense cuz I ain't feel in this matchup those attributes would be the decidin factor. Power and speed, both hand and foot would be.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?
SSM don't got legs now, and he ain't as fast at WW as he was at LW. That's why I'd pick him to lose if they fought now. At 135, prime for prime, SSM takes him. He'd bring the fight to Mr boat buyer and attack his body, not headhunt like a lotta other guys do tryin to force a KO. Mr boat buyer could swat at LW, but not hard enuf to keep SSM off him. He was much more offensively oriented then, but he couldn't beat SSM head on. And wit his counter attack, I think he'd score points. But he wouldn't have enuf pop to keep SSM off him, and not enuf speed to elude him all nite either. Call it close, 7-5 4 sho, but SSM woulda beaten him imo. Nothin Mr boat buyer could do to move or discourage SSM, which is how his 5 losses were fashioned.Last edited by MANGLER; 09-07-2009, 05:44 AM.Comment

Its been ages since i saw it but i seem to remember Shane doing well early by making Forrest lead to him but midway through Forrest adapted and made Mosley come to him.
I cant remember its been ages since i saw it.Comment

Winky didn't lay any lumber on Shane (or anybody, for that matter).
Winky used his length and jab to control Shane. And SM could not adjust to the lefty stance.
I would disagree that SM was discouraged by any incoming from WW. SM just mechanically couldnt figure it out.Comment
