Mosley vs Mayweather will look like Tarver vs Jones 2

[Cash Cow]

Yeah, Jones relied on his speed and reflexes not really different defensive techniques to avoid damage. Floyd because he developed those skills will still be hard to tag if he starts slowing down.

let me understand.....Mosley who is 38 hasn't slowed down but Mayweather who is 32 has?...lol

[Cash Cow]

Molsey was outboxed by Miguel Cotto......

basically...lol

[BigDog9]

I still believe Mosley is the one to Take Floyd's 0 away. Can you just imagine Mayweather on the canvas getting up wobbly

lol like margo. that would be great.

Age doesn't have much to do with it. You can watch Floyds fights and see he's definitely slowed down. His hand speed isn't what they were, but he's still quick. The biggest "slow" down, is his foot speed. Floyd is a bit more flat footed now (as in, reluctant to move as much, he does more rope a doping/shoulder rolling now than before).

Really a ****** arguement tho.. Mosley has slowed down a lot too though in many areas. Seems a bit stronger overall though. But yeah, Age isn't so much a factor. Some people age better than others bro. Bhop aged better than..say..Ike Quartey.

By your logic, that shouldn't be the case.

I think against some fighters it can work. But if your opponent is also gifted with quick reflexes like Calzaghe was against Hopkins it can also back fire.

I am just using it as a general rule but understand that styles do play a huge factor and anyone can be beaten no matter how good he his at what he does best. Floyd has developed some of these techniques in addition to using his guard and elbows to block punches. Roy on the other hand never really developed defensive skills such as these and just was significantly faster than his opponents and simply moves out of the way of their punches....that is why Floyd will be better off some time after his speed diminishes if he chooses to fight that long I think.

No one was talking about that you miss understood, I made no mention of Mosley at all or said that Floyd has slowed down yet.....I am using hypothetical situations here. SSM being slower which he is has nothing to do with anything here anyway.

[Boss Don]

This will be Floyd's first Opponent that can knock him out with one punch

lol....heard that before

I am trying to figure out how the 36 year old Mosley got out boxed by Cotto but the 39/40 year old Mosley is going to beat Mayweather?....

there is nothing Mosley brings to the table except for power....Mosley is very predictable in his approach and IMO wouldn't be a difficult fight for Mayweather. Mosley is a head hunter at this stage....

so what are you saying then?

Dude Mosley has trouble with "boxers" its been very obvious in his career. Guys that wont engage with him or stand right in front of him he has problems with.

Mayweathers boxing skills > Mosley's

and its not even close...

look at shanes last 5 fights and please tell me what he has done other than throw left hooks and hail mary over hand rights?......

you think that alone will work vs Mayweather?

You have missed the point entirely of this whole thread. TS was comparing SSM to Tarver and Floyd to RJJ. Who cares who would win it doesn't matter here as far as I am concerned. SSM in fact could ko any ww who ever fought if he tagged him right Floyd though is different from RJJ because he is not just a speed and reflexes guy. which is why it wouldn't work the same even though Tarver was slower than Roy but still put him to sleep. The difference between Roy and Floyd was learned skills ......jeez, sorry you had to think a little abstractly here.
