    Mosley making 147

    This really has not been discussed and I am sure he will make weight but does anyone think it may be an issue or affect is performance. He hasn't made that weight in 16 months and he is 38. Before the Marg fight he was at 154. No this is not a built in excuse thread but I just want to know if anyone has any thoughts on this.

    I think 147 is a more confortable weight for Mosley, he was a small 154 lbs.

      He fought marg at 47 and I think he has always sadi that he is a 47'er who would occasionally fight at 54, but 47 is his natural.

      There was a time when he seemed obsessed with 54 and 60...but I think he was steroid-fueled during that time.

        Naturally Mosley will be weight drained because 147 is not his natural weight. Remember that Mosley was fighting at Middle weight when he was younger and now that hes 40 yo he gained a lot of weight.

          Maybe, the bigest i've ever seen Mosley was against DLH at 154 and we all know why that is.

                Shane has been at WW alot more than 154 in recent years. He fought Vargas twice at 154 but right before that he had 2 fights at WW against Estrada and someone else I forget. After Vargas he fought Collazo & Cotto at WW. He had the 1 fight against Mayorga at 154 and then had no problem against Margarito at WW. 2 things you must not forget. 1 is that he was going to fight Pac at 140 so you know he is comfotable at WW.

                Most of all, everyone keeps forgetting about the Berto fight. Berto canceled just 2 weeks before the fight so its basically like Shane did everything except get into the ring. Everyone keeps acting like he's done nothing since Margarito. He stays in the gym anyways but he just did a whole camp for Berto and was on weight. I mean if JMM had cancled on Floyd right before the fight, you dont think Floyd wouldve been in top shape? The in the ring stuff is just the cherry on top. The training & sparring is what matters the most and Shane did all of that for Berto. He's fine

                  He looks better at 147 despite the success he's had at 154. Shouldn't be a problem for him. He actually went through a full camp for Berto right before this one, so he should be in top shape.

                    Mosley won't have a problem, he's a gym rat, which means he stays training and doesn't blow up. He trained almost 2 months at Big Bear for the Berto fight and almost immediately after had the Mayweather fight.

                    Making weight is the last thing he's thinking about.
