Mayweather vs Mosley - Who is Mentally stronger?

[Walt Liquor]

I think the term 'mentally stronger'm means how much punishment you have taken the way some people are talking. A fighter who has been in 7 gruelling fights is 'mentally stronger' than a fighter who dominated evryone he faces without taking punishment, dont think so

nothing to do with taking punishment. it has everything to do with the difference in a fight in which you dictate the pace or a fast paced boxing match, to an intense, fight every second type of fight. big different on your cranium.

yeah, so if mayweather beats shane, does floyd have the better mental toughness or vice versa?

depends on the fight, but the answer is most likely yes.

one thing not brought up is the durability of each fighter. i think that floyd is as durable as shane at least, maybe more at this stage. i don't see a shane ko like some shane fans

but to me, shane's style and his willingness to take risks mean more mental toughness. if floyd gets behind and is really losing the fight (like gets knocked down for real) or getting pummelled, we have a big question mark. we know how shane will react. we don't know about floyd.

That was intelligence, not a weakness of mental strength.

well said...............

Thers only as question mark because floy has never been hurt or been in trouble and will most likely not take any punishment for rest of his career imo, really smart boxer with great skills

cant judge a persosns mental toughness just from 1 fight, judge it from a whole career, all im saying is just because someones has been involved in more gruelling fights, doesnt mean to say their mentally stronger

I'm just saying if it come's to digging deep which i think it will I'm giving the edge to Mosley because he has been there before while has not had to go there for some time.

yes, i can see your point. But it is a big 'IF' on whether it comes down to be a digging deep sort of fight.

so you understand my point. floyd has question marks.....

except when it comes to his physical durability, but mental is a BIG question mark.

what makes you think shane won't land something? I think that has to be taken into consideration when discussing mental toughness.

[Rome-By-Ko]

He wasn't saying a fighter who takes a punch to give a punch can't be mentally stronger, he's saying that style doesn't automatically mean they are mentally stronger.

Frazier had one of the greatest trainers of all time in his corner. Michigan legend and hall of fame trainer, Eddie Futch. The determination of Frazier to execute the gameplan provided by Futch proved to be the difference.

Ok Shane has Bro ****m in his corner No?At the end of the day Shane has been threw just about everything you can go threw as a fighter.Which is why I have to give him a mental edge in this one.

Floys has great skills, speed, movement, everything a boxer desires. If you look at hs smartness within the ring I think that he would cope with any kind of 'onslaught' any fighter would bring him.
