"Sugar" Shane Mosley




"Sexy" Sergio Martinez

Sexy Sergio dances around the ring to completely put Mosley to shame and UDs him with a brutal final pose for the cameras.

Bad fight for Shane, but at least he would be fighting someone worthy of losing too. I got nothing against Mora, but he is a bad style match up for Shane and would most likely box and run his way to a decision.

Shane needs to get back on fighting Berto.

Honestly, I'd even pick Martinez over the Mosley that lost to Winky and DLH the second time. Even though that wasn't exactly a prime Mosley, it was better than the one we have today.

Yeah...Sergio might even KO him although unlikely. My reasoning is that Sergio is a finisher unlike Mayweather and throws punches in combinations and has more power than Mayweather, the only thing Money really has over Sergio is speed. Serg would have Mosley really confused and desperate as Martinez hits him with a flush 4 punch combo......very sad night for Mosley should he fight Maravilla

I can't believe so many people are doubting Shane. I mean I want to see how much he has left too against Mora but I'm sure he'll smoke him.

Sergio is nothing like Mayweather, his defense isn't on his level to where it makes Mosley look dumb by just staring at him and not throwing. Mosley would get after him.

I think he wins a decision here.

I am going for the underdog and picking Shane. Martinez has great movement, but he likes to mixed it up and is not too difficult to hit unlike Forrest or Winky. I see a very close fight with Shane getting a late round KO. I think this fight would be a back and forth battle, but Martinez getting stopped late by Shane. Mayweather is just on another level compared to everyone else Shane fought.

I think the power would catch up to Martinez, and Shane has better foot speed and movement than Pavlik and Williams combined. Now the Shane that fought Floyd wouldn't even make it to the scorecards. I know the cliche is a fighter is only is as good as he was in his last fight, but the Shane I know doesn't gas out in 2 rounds.

Whoever you pick, it's safe to say this fight would be a FOTY candidate.

Shane swings wide guys...he loads up on punches and goes for the KO, Martinez punches straight, very straight. Mosley is going to have to jab all night long just to have a chance and Martinez is going to be countering him a bunch due to the way Mosley swings....Mosley gets his power from loading up which is fine as long as you are not fighting a fast counter puncher; especially one that punches pretty straight. Mosley is not washed up but Martinez's style is going tomake it a difficult fight for him I think...maybe I'm just a Martinez hugger but that's what I think

I agree that Mosley is a wide puncher, I just think people are overrating Martinez's defense. He looked a million bucks against Pavlik, who was always slow, but also re-hydrated about 18 lbs.

Mosley only gets discouraged if he has a hard time hitting his opponent, or if his opponent is awkward, like Mayorga. Martinez is quick, slick, and throws straight punches, but he loves in engage. Williams had no trouble tagging Martinez for most of that fight.

People need to quit comparing Martinez to Mayweather. Martinez is actually a lot more similar to the slick southpaw Collazo than Mayweather. Maybe I am just a Mosley nuthugger myself, lol.

Martinez

I think this has the potential to be a FOY candidate. I think Martinez would win by decision though. I dont think Mosley should be moving up from 147 but he might since he lost to Mayweather and isn't going to get Pacquaio. Theres more paydays for him there.
