Molsey (circa 2000) would have beaten Floyd.

Certainly not a foregone conclusion, but yeah, when I saw Shane barely make it up the stairs at the weigh in, I knew he was in trouble.

If you're going to pick a prime Shane, you'd have to match him against a prime Floyd to be fair. Not sure if Floyd is still prime, though he certainly looks that way.

There was a short window when they were 5 lbs apart, late 1998, early 1999. Floyd was still a bit green and Shane was having a hard time making LW. Woulda been a great fight though.

Just saying, compare his legs then to now, it's not the same human being.

In the year 2000 Floyd was a super feather weight.

Mosley was a Welter weight.

Fight would have been closer.

I'll give you that.

Ether way its a bad style match-up for Mosley.

I still favor Floyd.

Dude, look at Mosley's legs then and now. He is old and out of his prime, the layoff destroyed him. That was far from a prime Mosley who he beat.

Ben you said 2000.

They were 17 Pounds apart man.

No one on here ever said he was in his prime. However e was the Number 1 WW and the P4P Number 3.

Neither of them are in their primes.

I accept that about the weight, in any case even the Mosley who fought Margarito might well have beaten Floyd, he looked dreadful the other night, completley gone.

You have to give Floyd credit for what he did to Shane. Theres a difference in fighting Marg and fighting Floyd. Shane found that out.

Floyds speed, defense, countering, feints and evn his power rendered Shane useless.

This isnt Mayorga, or Margarito. He fought Floyd.

Molsey (circa 2000) would have beaten Floyd.
