Shane Mosley? Seriously?

[AKATheMack]

Ehhhh... I might disagree with ya there buddy.

Name the top 5 technical boxers who were devoid of athletic talent and then name the top fighters who fought with there hands down at their sides because there athleticism allowed them to.

[Chups]

Another HOF in Pac's resume.


You might not like it now but it will matter in 50 years.

[Carpe Diem]

Sorry, I don't see it happening at this point in his career.

Does the possiblity exist?

Sure.

I am leaning towards the probability that it doesn't.

The only way Mosley wins a round is if he knocks Pac down, or hits him with something so huge it completely overcomes everyting Pac did in that round.

Alright, I'll give him one round.




I am on topic, we are talking about Floyds abilities.

All i know is, Mosley has proven to be more comfortable fighting volume punchers than Boxers. I don't care how shot he is, he'll have plenty of chances to catch Manny coming in. He's not gonna win the fight, but he'll land enough on Manny to make it look somehow competitive....At least for few rounds.

Pacquiao vs Mosley will sale and it's the biggest fight out there for Pac.
He has to fight someone ****.

I gave Mayweather full credit for beating Mosley and I would do the same for Pac if he beat mosley.

Mosley lost to the best fighter in the world nothing wrong with that. He would give a good fight for 5 rounds against pac but would fade after that and get a beating IMHO.

You don't know shit about Pacquiao.

ZING!

Ree****yaluss has perfect timing.

Probably due to his superior athletic ability.

[IMDAZED]

Threw perfect left hooks: Such as his leaping left hook which is a no no for any fighter without superb athletic ability.

Tell that to Antonio Margarito, who I've seen throw leaping left uppercuts! And for the record, Jones didn't leap every time he threw a punch. Miserable fail there, pal.

Combinations: Such as 3 left hooks at one time impossible for any fighter without great athletic ability

That's funny, I watched Antonio Margarito the speed demon land three straight left uppercuts on Miguel Cotto.

Parried: reflexes again stemming from his unnatural athletic ability

Yes, one of the reasons why George Foreman was such a master at parrying.

Footwork: Signs of athleticism again.

To a genius like you, probably. I loved watching Hopkins use his speed to gauge distance. It was amazing!

Why dont we throw in amazing handspeed and how it all stemmed from his textbook boxing style.

Why don't you just throw in the towel?

Exactly. It's a joke now. But in 50 years, when people don't know any better, they'll think it was something special. When in reality, it wasn't.

That's what they're going for here. Developing a legacy for the future. While giving the fans the middle finger in the present.

You don't know shit about Pacquiao.

Know more about him than you know about Mosley~

I have actually put thought into this fight, don't come at me again until you do the same.

[educator06]

thats all im saying too.....dont sleep on mosley in this fight!

[THE REED]

Name the top 5 technical boxers who were devoid of athletic talent and then name the top fighters who fought with there hands down at their sides because there athleticism allowed them to.

Well if I do that... all 10 would have been successful.

I am saying that moreso than not, I am going to take fundamentals over athleticism... ESPECIALLY when it comes to longevity in the sport.
