Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley Will Beat Mayweather Jr, Says Pacquiao

[SmoothMon]

Dude what league is that?Are you trying to say Moses is not in the same league as Mayweather?I hope not.

All due respect to all you guys opinion, but this Mosley of late is nowhere near as crisp as the old Mosley. I like mosley a lot but his best fight in the last 9 years was margarito. He was supposed to dominate a lot of these guys with all the talent he had. He came up short a few times, and beat guys waaay past there prime (vargas, mayorga). And I personally think he clearly lost the cotto fight. He only won like 2-3 rounds IMO at best. He has trouble with guys that throw decent speed straight shots. I like him, but I wouldn't bet on him.

People make it seem like all these people have a chance against Mayweather but they get tired. As somehow that's Mayweather's fault? I mean isn't that why they train to get stamina? So why is Mayweather being lessened as a fighter because his opponents get tired? First Judah, then de la hoya, and now your talking about if cotto would have fought him it would of been close but cotto would of got tired and then May would of got him. I just wanna know. When will it stop? When will Mayweather get the respect he deserves?

Damn Tweezy I like so don't make your self sound ******.I'm giving May respect by saying he would have beatin Cotto right?Did I ever blame Mayweather for them getting tired?Do I bad mouth Mayweather skill's how he act's outside the ring no I don't so calm down bud.I do on the other hand think he is goin to lose this fight.

Bradley is a very very good fighter who will be a pound for pound king unlike Cotto. Cotto hits harder than Bradley but thats it. And the main reason he will loose is because of what you said. Cotto gets tired, and Bradley is a marathon runner. His 12th is like his 1st. Bradley has the quick feet just like pac, and great movement and defence. Cotto has none of these. Cotto is a beast. But Bradley is better at everything, he just doesn't hit as hard as cotto, but I guarantee he is physically stronger and mentally stronger than Cotto.

I agree now he is.I also agree Bradley will be a p4p king in his career.But Cotto before the brick beating would have beat bradley imho.

Since you feel that way hope you put a bunch of money on the fight.

Dave. A year ago to most hard core Boxing fans who have been following the sport throughout Shane's career(since it spans a length of time years before Cotto) did not have Cotto on Shane's level as far as legacy was concerned.

I didn't say they did. I said that at that time, for Pac, fighting either would have been the about the same for Pac's legacy because of the fact that Cotto had already beaten Mosley.

Mosley was near the end of a great career, whereas Cotto is far younger, so obviously Mosley has the greater legacy over his entire career, but that wasn't what I was talking about. Mosley had looked very lethargic and past his prime in his last but one fight, and no one knows for sure how much his last performance was a genuine return to form, and how much it was because Margarito was not focussed, because he'd been caught cheating. Plus styles make fights, so beating Marg doesn't completely erase the loss to Cotto. Marg may just have had the perfect style for Mosley to look good against.

If you looked at the Welterweight record over the past couple of years, there was little or nothing to choose between Cotto's and Mosley's Welterweight records over that period. You fight the fighter as he is now, not the fighter he was 10 years ago, so Mosley's record 10 years ago is irrelevant to the discussion. It's obviously very relevant to any discussion about Mosley's career legacy overall, but that wasn't what I was talking about.

I don't make a habit of of taking sides, but IMO margarito is the worse fighter I have ever seen talent and skill wise. He's not fast, quick, accurate, no knock out power, average foot work, no head movement, not elusive and the list goes on... he has a hellaova chin and amazing heart. But that's not enough to win fights... Plaster in your gloves doesn't hurt either now that, I think about it

Mosley didnt lose it clearly.cotto was only ahead of 1 point at 12rd on my card,and many others i guess.

And that's a good thing. You see what those bricks did to Cotto's career. Why would we wish that on someone else?

[SmoothMon]

How They was look at a year ago.Mosley was the num 1 welter hand's down if he would have fought Mosley Cotto would have fought berto.No one would have felt he duck cotto cause most felt Cotto lost to clottey No?

question for you? Why didn't Mosley fight P Will and backed out of Clottein your opinion?
