    Is that the over/under?

      I know I said "coming off of a win", which clearly, I should have been more specific about, because people have a hard time comprehending that Mosley's most recent fight, was a dominating win.

      Now in as little as 6 months he's 0-1-1 and looked unimpressive against Sergio Mora.
      Or maybe its Floyds fans bias to see everything in his favor? When Mosley was going to fight Floyd John referred to Mosley as coming off a win with no mention of the 15 months inactivity, when Mosley is going to fight Pac he refers to Mosley as coming off a dominating loss(which happened 2 fights ago) and making no mention of the fact that the draw against Mora was extremely questionable. If Mosley was a beast the night he stepped in the ring against Floyd I cant imagine how hes completely washed up 6 months later. Hes lost decisive fights before why would this be the one to ruin him? I think the truth is both Floyd and Pac will have faced a washed up Mosley Pac version being considerably more so.

            Considering Mosley has not looked good against back to back slick fighters. One of them was a defensive slick counterpuncher, the other one was just plain slick and featherfisted, well Floyd is no KO artist himself with only 4KO's above Super FW. Maybe that had to play a part with him looking bad. But then again the way he looked so lazy against them, like he mentally quit against Floyd, and didn't push far enough for the Mora fight. Pacquiao is not slick or defensive by any means, so Mosley can win a couple of rounds because Pacquiao is there to be hit. But at the end of the day, Mosley will be 40 in 2011, and he looked horrible in his last 2 fights and that's what boxing fans will look at.

              Hindsight is always 20/20. The difference is - and the point you're missing - is that no one knew whether the 15 months would affect Shane or not. And that was the risk. At this point, it's a no-brainer.

                Yeah, I addressed that. Mosley was coming off of a win. I left out the inactivity.

                It's still better than losing in dominating fashion, and (watch this, I'll leave out the fact that it was a draw), looking like complete and utter ASS against SERGIO MORA.

                I don't understand how the two are even comparable.

                  Keep in mind I never said Mosley could win, I only said Mosley could possibly give him a fight, IF Manny doesn't find a way to frustrate him.

                  To me that view is more well rounded than.

                    Please excuse me while I point out bias again. Again you went back 2 fights while referring to the Pac fight, but conveniently left out the fight before Margarito where Mosley looked mediocre for much of the fight against a past prime Matorga. Im just sayin.
