If Mosely was at his Prime fighting Floyd who would have won?

[Spoon23]

No doubt. Im definitely not a Mosley hater and the fight would be closer but some of the things did in that fight were just pure boxing skill moreso than Mosley being faded. Mosley has that habit if patting with the jab like 4 times & then launching a big right. He killed Margarito with that. People didnt notice much in the Floyd fight but every single time Shane would do that, Floyd killed him.

Shane would be patting that jab to Floyd's right hand & as soon as he was about to throw the right, Floyd would throw his jab to hold Shane in place & then follow up with the straight right hand. He's just a much better boxer & smarter fighter but Shane is a beast & its possible that he couldve caught Floyd with all that speed he had back then & stopped him like he almost did in the 2nd but I think thats his only shot. Other then that I think he loses a more competitive but clear cut decision

Yup, skill wise Floyd still has more.. But again in boxing it only takes one bomb to end a fight. Mosely has that 1 punch bomb to end it. Therefore, I see a prime Mosely winning with a devastating right and if floyd is still standing he will finish him of with a barrage of punches. Floyd won't reach the 3rd round.

It's not fair to call oscar an old prune. because you take away from manny's win two years later.

Manny and Floyd didn't fight at Oscar's best. Manny beat Oscar good Floyd beat Oscar in a split decision. (oscar wasn't at his prime) But Pac showed his talent above and beyond by showing how old he is.

No version of Shane Mosley beats any version of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Am I the only one that finds it funn Spoon doesn't post for a good week and the moment he comes back it's to make the SAME Floyd Mayweather thread he always makes?

You can also see in that vid that Mosley even in his prime never had a real jab so its hard to beat Floyd with his style

A younger Floyd would not have stood flat-footed in front on Mosley. You guys are assuming the fight would have gone the exact same way.

Floyd doesn't move nearly as much as he did earlier in his career.

Mayweather is a very bad matchup for any shane mosley. With the exception of power, floyd just does everything better than shane.

I'm talking about the welterweight division. If they where both 33 years old. which is how old Floyd when he fought Mosely. If they where both 33. That bomb that Mosely threw at a younger body would have finished Floyd for sure. Mosely's power is legendary. Only takes one punch to seal a boxing match. Mosely has that bomb. Floyd can't duck all night long.

I see Floyd not reaching the 3rd.

As I said it only takes 1 punch to end a fight. Mosely got Floyd ina n old 38 year old body. What more if he was 33 same as Floyd. That bomb he threw would be the end of Floyd. I'm definitely sure it would have been lights out.

Don't argue that Floyd wouldn't have caught that bomb if Shane was younger, coz if a shane that is 38 can land that bomb at him. What more with a prime shane.

Shane is a heavy handed bomber. 1 punch is all takes to end a fight. Floyd would have been ktfo in the 2nd for sure.

Mayweather Decision, 115-113 at the closest, 117-111 at the widest

Either way, Mosley still loses

[FeFist]

He'd get his ass whooped the same way, an inability to adapt isn't age related. You see the fight that went down, Mosley set up and landed a successful blow. He tried doing that later in the fight only Mayweather was able to roll the punch.

Being younger wouldn't prevent Mayweather from doing that.

Tyson doesn't need a fight to reach 12. Mosely's bomb would have been enough and a few left right cross after a bomb would have sent Floyd to lala land.

Yup but he got caught by an old 38 year old Mosely and still Floyd caught it. So it is would have been dumb to believe he wouldn't have caught it in a faster stronger Mosely. I know Floyd has the ability to adjust. But what will he have to adjust from if Mosely gets that hard right bomb in there. It's over man. Your boy will go to lala land. If Floyd is still standing. He will finish him of with a brrage of punches. Ain't rocket science.

Sometimes boxing is brute force. 1 punch is all it takes.
