The best guy he's fought, and the one who was able to duplicate Mayweather's combinations is Emanuel Augustus. I was having another look at that fight the other day, and I was thinking what a shame that Augustus didn't have a good manager, and trainer. He has a boxing brain, and is very slick, undoubtedly would have gained a championship, although as I noted, he has had a couple or three lesser regional titles..

DLH lost by a point so it's safe to say he did pretty good in the fight and had a shot at winning it! Also Ishe is right, Floyd has never been in the ring with someone that has the skill set of Shane! Also please factor in the corner of Shane now! Richardson will make a difference, trust that! Age won't matter, Shane is not fighting off pure talent anymore, he's being taught to think in the ring and be smart! A couple of notes from Hopkins too! This is gonna be a long night for Floyd and if he wins it will be a career defining win for him! Tho I'm rooting against him and don't think he will win. I would give him total props if he does
I like Mosley, he always puts out a good fight, and, as a lightweight he was devastatingly fast and powerful. But that was many years ago.
On another point, Mosley won the first fight with Oscar "going away", in other words by a good margin, about 8 rounds to 4. A split decision result just showed how biased the powers-that-be were towards Golden Balls, who, in this fight was outsped and outpowered.
In their 2nd fight (I think at 154 lbs) it was a much slower, more painstaking affair, with Mosley, who was behind after 6 rounds, proceeded to throw solid right hands to the body, which had the effect of sickening Oscar, no matter how much he bent over \and tried to hide behind his specially made "corset" which item protected him well up into his chest area. I've written somewhere before, that I fully expected to see Mosley's fist coming through Oscar's chest and sticking out of his back.
I little "hyperbole", but nevertheless, it paints an accurate picture of the fight over the last 6 rounds.Comment
