Anyone heard the Mosley having trouble in sparring rumours?

Great, another reason for Floyd haters/Pac fangirls to discredit this fight if Floyd wins...
I don't believe this because I recall hearing that Mosley was knocking out sparring partners, but if it is true, it doesn't necessarily mean his age is a factor. Perhaps he's having trouble adjusting to Floyd's style, or he's working on a particular thing in sparring, such as defense or footwork. That requires taking punches. He could be struggling in one department.
And didn't Floyd get beat up by Paul Spadafora and Lamont Peterson? I think I also remember Zab Judah having an even sparring session with a featherweight (I think it was Gamboa, can't remember). Heck even Gato was working Cotto and Urango a few times. Sparring/training and fighting are two different things. But then again half of these fanboys don't know a thing about boxing so they wouldn't know that...Comment

There's always stories like this coming out of camps. Look at the rumors that surfaced prior to the JMM vs Mayweather fight where apparently Peterson was gettin it in on Floyd when they sparred. Guys like Cotto, Mosley, Oscar, Floyd, etc have all gone against tough sparring partners and have been out hustled at times, but have shown up fight night 100% ready to go.
I'll make my judgment on Mosley when the bell rings on May 1stComment
