    To be honest I don't mind Manny fighting Mosley because I don't know if he is capable of frustrating Mosley. He might be able to but I am not certain but even if he doesn't I doubt Mosley has enough to really win.

    He could be able to make it interesting though if he can avoid getting frustrated.

      It doesn't matter if he gets frustrated or not... he will endure the worst beating of his career in this fight.

      Of his career.

        Yet Mosley came back strong as ever.

        It is evidence that Shane can come back from defeat.

        Floyd did not mentally ruin Shane...
        That took a lot of time though.

          It's a typical Pac opponnent, i.e. coming off a loss or bad performance.

          Maybe it was Pac ducking Floyd all along, who knows.

            He didn't get mentally ruined, though... Shane believes in his abilities.

            Another thing is, Margarito's style made him look a lot better than he really was.

            The Mayorga fight was horrific.

              If Mosley showed his greatness against Margarito and is perceived to have kept that same level against Floyd 15 months later, would it not also make sense to say Mosley is the same fighter Floyd fought only 6 months later?

                That makes a big difference in Mosley's capabilities in the ring.

                Frustrated Mosley is garbage, Mosley who is not frustrated is pretty good.

                If he gets frustrated he gets beat badly if not he can cause problems.

                  Frustration will have absolutely nothing to do with the beating he endures.

                  I don't think Margarito was ever frustrated... it just didn't matter.

                  He couldn't do anything except get punched in the face 90 times a round, and it will be the same for Shane.

                  And yes, I am aware they have different styles.

                    So, will there be random testing?

                      You don't know shit about Mosley.


                      Mosley is not the same as Margarito so don't bring up other fighters, the biggest weakness of Mosley is his mind if you don't take him out of the fight mentally it is exponentially harder to defeat him but not impossible especially at this stage.

                      If Mosley can do his thing which is offensive in nature he builds on that but if you take away what he is capable of doing he shrinks. Manny gets hit a bunch so Mosley could easily build confidence instead of having it stripped away.
