Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mosley Can't Get Mad at Mayweather

[Rome-By-Ko]

not long ago, you were saying shane wasnt elite either. yall were saying hes old, but now hes a threat again, you **** need to make up your minds

What gets me mad is that if Mayweather beats him, he's gonna be treated as the greatest of all time by his brainless fans just because he'l have his 1st legit win at Welterweight since he beat Zab. It makes no sense. When Cotto beat him, he didn't get as much as props as what's gonna happen if Mayweather beats him.

Don't you know by now that boxing fans are fickle. The same could be said for Pacquaio being praised for beating De La Hoya and Hatton when they had already been beaten by Mayweather. Who cares if they were knocked out the bottom line is they were beat by a common opponent. You can never satisfy the fan base out there. To me, Mayweather beating Mosley only sets him up for a another big money fight with Pacquaio. Do you consider Pacquaio a legit WW?

How can Shane have an edge? Until they face one another, there is no edge. Both have won the vast majorities of their fights based on styles that work for them. To look back and say who they faced in the past is irrelevent. Forrest beat Mosley 2x but yet he turned around and got beat by Mayorga 2x. Shane came along and knocked Mayorga out. What does that mean, nothing!

Fighters make fights just as much as styles make fights. You keep overlooking the age factor. What Mayweather could do in 2004 ain't the same Mayweather that will step into the ring come May 1 and the same holds true for Mosley. Past opponents are not a good gauge on how one will perform on fight night. The only thing that can be safely stated is that both of these guys always show up on fight night in top shape. There is no edge, it will be all about the execution of strategy.

You are right my man.What i'm tryin to say is mosley has been fighting elite fight's mayweather has'int this will play a part in this fight who you fight and how battle tested you are always play's a part.I totally understand what you tryin to say but i'm tryin to say fighting elite fighter's shane has the edge no?

Shane Mosley relies too much on his power. Never knew him
to be a tactician in the ring. Pretty much domininating mostly
to brawlers. Floyd will frustrate and out condition Mosley down the stretch.

Was the young hoya a brawler ?Did mosley outbox him?Not to mention he had jack not ****m

Its true though that people not too long ago were saying that Shane
was washed up but now say he is going to KO Floyd. Guaranteed
after Floyd beats Shane then people will go back to saying that
Shane never stood a chance.

I can agree with you up to a point. I point out the time factor because the Shane and Floyd entering the ring won't be the one's we saw in the past. Mosley will bring his skill set as will Mayweather. Both have a unique set of skills that will favor one more than the other come fight night. If you reversed the list of fighter's that both have faced, you would probably get a different set of results.

The only thing we can look at is what the 2 fighter's bring to the table skill wise. One definitely favors power punching and going toe to toe with their opposition whereas the other would rather use lateral movement and timed punching from angles to beat you. Which style is better? I don't know but I do know that it works for these 2 fighters or they wouldn't have compiled all those victories.

Tell Delahoya to stop it. Nothing was easy that night for him. It was easy for Mayweather that night. De lahoya is crazy or punch drunk

In the first Mosley/Oscar fight, all they did was slug it out in
the middle of the ring mostly. The second fight is when Oscar
decided to box and he arguably beat Shane AND Shane was on
steroids. Forrest and Winky beat Shane two times a piece
with pure boxing skills and Cotto boxed Mosely too. While
Floyd never fought guys like Winky or Forrest, Floyd skills
are elite as a boxer. ****m will help Shane but Shane will
revert back to Shane the speeder brawler when he finds it
hard to land on Floyd.

I won't he will always be my fav fighter .If mayweather beat's him i'll say he is the best fighter right now cause i dont think pac can beat him.

After he beat the **** out of Cotto like that I do. His Welterweight resume is very, very light, only 1 fight at 147 or should I say 145. Lol. The difference though with Pacquiao is that Floyd won a split decision vs De La Hoya & Pacquiao blew Oscar out, it was a crack head version of Oscar I will admitt. He looked horrible at 147. & Mayweather beat up Hatton but Manny made Ricky look like a flat out bum!!!!! His knockout was even more devastating then Floyds. A win is a win as u said but its hard 2 compare those & not give the edge 2 Manny as far as who's win was better or more convincing.
