    Shane Mosley's Power Is Unreal

    I just caught this old news on Zack Padilla's boxrec page:

    Zack Padilla beat four world champions, and once held the Compubox record with Ray Oliveira for the most punches thrown in a fight. Padilla was the reigning WBO junior welterweight champion until Shane Mosley hit him hard while sparring, which caused a brain injury that prompted Padilla's boxing license to be suspended indefinitely.

          Padilla was/is a friend of his too, Mosley's always been a beast in the gym. The day he stops being a beast in the gym is the day he should retire.

          On a sidenote, Padilla was a pretty good fighter with a pretty good future, he was a workhorse.

            Steroids do not teach you how to punch, how or when to close your fists or to keep your wrists tight when throwing or how to transfer your weight into your punches. They are for muscle convalescence and conditioning. They enable a fighter to train longer and harder and to recover quicker. They do add to strength, but not more than the boxer could get without the steroids.

              I've never actually seen him fight, but read that him and Olivera had held a Compubox record of some sort. This and other examples make me believe Mosley would do very well against every face first brawler under 147. It's the reason I pick him in the fantasy fights against JCC Sr.

                I think they still hold the record, they threw over 3000 punches between them. Crazy.

                There are many of these kinds of fighters in the gyms in California, of course a lot of them aren't on the same level but it's a good environment to get used to pressure fighters.

                    Padilla was a very busy fighter and used to get hit alot also. He was exciting but those busy fighters like him their careers are short lived. He was at the brink of making it and then the injury which it really was a clog in his system
