Comments Thread For: Roach: Shane Mosley Has Trouble With Speed/Movement

Tito struggles with boxers. We know that.

yea but i think that the his reach and power would cause some problems but i think mayweather win's what about duran and mosley at lightweight?

[tredh]

i could see that but tito was tall and rangey i think he would give money problems but i could see money pulling it off but i won't count out tito he knew how to win to ww he was really good in that div

The best thing about Tito was that he threw straight shots and short hooks not a lot of wasted motion. Textbook throwing punches from the shoulders. But Tito wasn't the best at timing and he wasn't slow but he wasn't fast. Without timing you need great speed and Tito didn't have that. Plus Tito didn't have a variety of ways he could fight or a big combination punch arsenal. Tito threw combos but it always the same punch combos he didn't mix and match.

I mean Oscar was outboxing Tito with speed and movement "early" in their fight. Floyd would do the same the entire fight,...basically do what Winky did but land more clean punches

winky was in with an old tito and oscar was running not boxing

The Tito that fought Oscar was drained as hell. Furthermore, I can't imagine Floyd fighting Tito like Oscar did because that's ******. And Oscar paid the price in the latter rounds - when he went from moving a whole lot to just running. He had to. Floyd doesn't fight that way and wouldn't fight that way.

Second, how can you say Floyd would do what Oscar did and then say he'd do what Winky did? That's two totally different styles of fighting. I mean, as different as different can be. Which one is it?

Anyway, Floyd would give Tito hell, hell, hell. That said, a prime Tito was an underrated boxer with dynamite in both fists. And was relentless. I think asking Floyd to beat him at 147 may be a little too much, to be honest. Pound for pound, Money May takes it handily but here is a case where size matters. Hard for me to pick right now.
