Prime Mosley vs Mayweather?

[tesla_power]

stylistically Floyd would have beaten Mosley at any weight. I think alot of people who have illogical and personal hate towards Floyd picked Mosley in this poll.

Why? Does not mean that if they pick different from yours, it is not sensible.

There are no bashing here in the responses.

I favor Floyd 60/40 but prime Mosley is a beast at 135 and a great fighter at 147. Floyd could potshot his way to victory at both weights but if this fights at 135 wherein he likes to exchange more and take risk, Mosley would have a bigger chance of defeating Floyd. IMO, he is more athletic than Floyd just not as good in the thinking department plus he is not also that good in adjusting.

Floyd could NEVER pot shot a prime Mosley, at 135 or 147. In his prime at those weights Shane was just as fast as Floyd, especially at 147.

Actually both Mosley-DLH fights were split decisions. And he had to use steroids to hang in the final rounds (and pretty much everyone scored the rematch in favor of DLH). Who knows how easy the fights would have been for DLH without steroids.


On another note, I personally don't think either is in their prime right now. Mayweather's prime was 130-140 and Mosley's was 135 and MAYBE part of 147 (depends on when he started using steroids). I think Mayweather-Mosley would be great at 135.

those fights were back when mosely and hoya were in thier primes.....hoya was doing floyd good in the early rounds until he gassed out , years later.....at 135, if floyd stands infront of shane like he did vs agustus, he would'nt last 6 rounds with shane....

if you really think the SD was a fair and realistic then you msut agree with guzman and funika draw. and everyother oddball judge score card. oscar didnt win more than 4 rounds in that fight. like saying holifield earned a draw with lenox. floyd beat oscar easy, no he didnt beat him up he jsut won a real easy fight

on the first fight shane clearly won and i had oscar winning the rematch also....the funika vs guzamn was just a complete robbery......floyd won by SD, many thought hoya won......

A lot of people underrated Prime Mosley here. Mosley was no Castillo at 135, nor was he a Zab Judah or Ricky Hatton at 147. Mayweather has never seen anything close to a prime Mosley.

IMO, he could. He has underrated power at those weights. Mosley at 135 was a come forward fighter that rarely used angles. Relied heavily on his superior speed and power. If he has a not so good defense now, he has very bad defense at those weights. Floyd can probably match his speed and nullify his power by potshotting at the exact moment that Shane would come forward. Snapping his momentum and making him tentative. Shane does not have the best of technique when moving in. This is the scenario I envision.

stylistically, forrest should'nt lose to a guy like mayroga but he did twice.....you cant predict a fight base on styles at all....you should know that by now.....

This question will be a lot easier to answer after they've fought.

If Mosley beats Floyd in 2010, then I guess I'd say he'd have done it in his prime, too....
