Shane Mosley: Best I've Faced

[Doctor_Tenma]

you are comparing a old mayweather at 147 to a prime oscar at 147.


you would have to take them at same age.

I can look at Mayweather at his quickest AT 147, and still say his hand speed doesn't touch Oscar's.

i find the quickest feet comment interesting. Floyd was as flat footed and stationary as ever in their fight....he stood right infront of Shane, yet when he did move his feet were quicker than any Shane has seen.

Mosley only said that because only Floyd can run away that good.

vernon forrest hit harder than mayorga or vargas at 154?

i believe that. he hurt mosley more than mayorga or vargas ever did. i also recall reading/hearing a mayorga interview saying that forrest hit harder than trinidad. i dunno if he's telling the truth there but he had respect for vernon's power

but 147 is not floyds best weight and 147 is oscars best weight that is my point.

shane fought oscar at 25 maybe. you have to compare ages too.

there is no way that it true because when he try the same trick with trinidad that he do with forrest then trinidad almost killed him.


start at 3.30

Weird he said Mayweathers feet were the fastest because according to Freddie Roach and other posters on here its common knowledge that his legs are shot lol

If you don't move around the ring then you have lost your legs according to some people on here. And if you do you the whole ring you are running etc. You really can't take posters like that too seriously.

I also had a debate with a few people on here, people who said Mayweather had quicker hands then a prime Oscar. I can't believe that was even debatable, in no way does Mayweather come close to a prime Oscar's hand speed, no way. I can see why Mosley thought people were expecting him to say Mayweather

How quickly people forget how fast Oscar was.

De la Hoya has way better handspeed, In his prime I would compare Oscar's handspeed to Pac or Khan's. Mayweather doesn't come close.

yeah, he was most likely sour about trinidad knocking him out lol.
on a side note, i never realized how good trinidad's body punching was until re-watching a few of his fights recently
