Comments Thread For: Mayweather Says Mosley's Lack of a Jab is a Big Problem

[Sugar Q]

well, i gotta agree w/ roger. mosley gotta make it a rough fight, he aint gonna outbox floyd

I got a feeling PBF is expecting a rough Mosley. He'll be ready to counter that.

Naw Potna not unless I'm truely bored. Hell I can go to any corner in South East, or North East D.C. and see that. I respect the sport but, I love a stand up old school scrap, and that would only be Boxing for me. Now there are MMA jokers that I do watch, but for the most part their game is more of a stand-up game rather than ground and pound. It's like football and soccer to me, I respect both sports but have intrest in only one of them(football).

Co-sign this post I'm a boxing baseball guy I said it baseball.LOL

Lol you see why I asked that question and when they do respond, they have to explain it..."well Zab Judah but hold up they were the same size and blah, blah, blah".

I just asked for a name not an explanation, but they felt the need to explain it, I wonder why lol?

But real talk.Judah was smaller then May watch that fight back and Hatton was like 5'6 or something.When he fought baldy he was hesitant when he fought Hoya he was hesitant.I see a pattern when he fight's bigger maybe stronger opponents he becomes a lil hesitant.He can't do that with Molsey.

listen to yourself rome. he was hesitant he was hesitant. HE WON lol what more do you want. And Baldomir that was a blowout wasn't even close and you call him hesitant? Man just keep talking the more you talk the better your crow soup will taste!

It's hard to say when you're fighting a guy who is 38 years old, you never know on any given night when that moment comes, when the guy actually looks like he is 38, that possibility exists for anyone in sports and make no mistake that day comes for everyone up there in age.

Pac-Mosley vs Floyd-clottey: who sells more?... obvious, right?
Oh my god are you even a boxing fan?I have to ask this question because these are two guy's who has been doing it longer then pac.Fighting stiffer competition then pac for longer.This fight is ten years in the making and is not a gimmie for either fighter(Unlike Clottey Pac).Dude please follow the sport and not a man.Pac made his bed and now(you know the rest).He just had to say yes to the test.He did'int I'm not someone who thinks he is on anything.But he had his chance and this fight could be him right now.IMHO THEY ARE BOTH TO BLAME.But I'll tell you what your gonna get more for your money with May vs Mosley two HOF fighters going head to head.Not a future HOF vs a world class fight waste of time and money.Please don't even let me get started with the trash undercard and Pac smiling at Clottey and Clottey smiling back(Gay).Dude do yourself a favor tune in on May 1 and see history.

Chiefy Floyd had a total of three WW fights and only one was a true WW and that was slow ass Baldy.Judah and Hatton were both smaller man.They also were 140lb champs you can make and argument for Judah but when you look at that fight it's clear that Judah was the smaller man.I say this to bring up he did nothing special at WW.But if he beats Mosley then he's on his way.

Rome you my potna slick but lets look at this realistically.

Floyd had 2 fights before the Baldomir fight: Shamba(great measuring stick at the time for your 1st fight at 147), and then Zab(which was the fight that at the time everybody wanted 'even the casual fan wanted that fight', as Zab was still considered EXTREMELY skilled). Zab in his previous fight lost the "LINEAL" title to Baldy(mind you Zab was at WW a entire year before Floyd), as Baldy was spossed to be a tune up for Floyd. Well the tune up became the tune up from hell as he beat Zab down, and took his title(as Zab overlooked him because the Floyd fight was on the table signed sealed and delivered). After beating Zab(while Floyd remained calm in the midst of the "malee in the ring", he did what everyone at the time wanted him to do; that wa to fight Baldy and "prove" himself as the "MAN" at 147. So Floyd obliges and does so.

After Floyd gets rid of Baldy he fights ODH. This is the fight that propted Floyd to leave Bob Arum in the 1st place, as Floyd wanted this fight and Bob was done playing with his old toy(Floyd) and had moved on to his "new" toy(Cotto). Floyd agrees to ALL terms set forth by ODH(as ODH knows the cards he holds and what his "Boxing" worth is.......they didn't call him the "Golden Boy" for nothing).

So Floyd beats ODH, and moves on to the next big threat......Hatton. Hatton was preceived as a threat to Floyd as he had just KO'd JLC the very same year that he fought Floyd('07 if I'm not mistaken, I probably should check BoxRec....but oh well, I'll work with memory). Now mind you everyone is impressed with Ricky and think he has a legitimate chance and breaking Floyd off; so once Floyd embarasses Ricky, the search is on for another fighter to shut Floyd's mouth. Remember Ricky beat Collazo at 147 and then went back down to 140, so it wasn't Ricky's 1st WW fight.

After Floyd KO's Ricky he retires(briefly). At the end of 2K6 Floyd is fighting for the lineal title and Cotto(for instance is fighting his 1st fight at WW for the "vacant" WBA title, at the same time Margo is fighting Clottey, and Paul hasn't even fought Margo yet so there is no benefit in fighting any of these fighters other than Cotto; who we all know Bob was not going to allow.

So my question is what was Floyd spossed to do given the landscape of the WW division and high value fights "at THAT particular time? This aint just for you to answer Rome my man; THIS is for ALL to answer.

[Rome-By-Ko]

listen to yourself rome. he was hesitant he was hesitant. HE WON lol what more do you want. And Baldomir that was a blowout wasn't even close and you call him hesitant? Man just keep talking the more you talk the better your crow soup will taste!

But he was or why did he not batter either one of umm?He beat them by taping them here taping them there he did not beat them like he did Zab or Hatton.(Smaller man)Did he?

You right but I don't see May 1 being that night.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

agree! sound bites. some taken out of context maybe
must be dozens of variables and scenario s.

what happens if we see a mosley that throws a jab and cuts off the ring and nails floyd with an uppercut?
or with two speedsters an accidental butt.
or are we going to see the same ol same o.
i gotta think mosleys going to have to do a little hugging in there.

i've got a bet going on mosley if interested:http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=375875

Nailing Floyd with an upper cut will be difficult at best, being that Floyd does not lean forward very much, but I see where you are trying to go with it.
