38 year old Mosley = 39 year old Mosley

[Ryannn]

You can't blame Marquez' age if he just beat a much younger Katsidis and Diaz. Again, how did Floyd's weight advantage benefit him in that fight? I did not see a speed reduction in Marquez' hands in the Mayweather fight at all compared to his previous fights or later ones. He was not slower... he was just slower than Floyd.

Do I have to make an entire thread breaking down to you people how weight did not make a difference in that fight? I just recently make an account on this site and I see right away that the vast majority of people on this site are not thoroughly able to analyze what they see inside the ring.

i disagree.

marquez looked small compared to the other lightweights. he's not even making the 135 limit in his fights.

going up in weight matters.

He only went up 7 pounds. He even came in at 148 which indicated that he had to train down to 142. His speed was the same.

The Shane Mosley that Floyd fought was coming off a dominating KO, was the #1 WW and #3 p4p fighter in the world.

Pacquiao is fighting Mosley who lost 11 out of 12 rounds against Mayweather and then went on to draw against a former reality TV star in one of the poorer fights of the year. Pacquiao is going to do terrible things to Mosley if ****m doesn't throw in the towel early.

If you think that the "two mosleys" are similiar then you are just straight up ignorant.

Height is an advantage....

But, does height give you an edge when you're bent over to your shorter opponents level?

Get it... dum dum... you have to USE your advantage in order for it to give you an edge in a fight. Perhaps I was sent to these forums to educate you morons on this beautiful ****ing sport.

lmao that's what happened with people who have to drop school for being so dumb. advantage is synonymous with edge for your information. anything that gives you an edge is an advantage. or you can flip it over...anything that gives you an advantage is an edge. you can't call anything an advantage/edge if you don't use it moron.

You are a ****** moronic and ignorant idiot!!! The Mosley that almost KOd the Wifebeater Floyd was inactive for 17 months, the longest of any welterweight champion in history.

You're not very bright, are you?

Can we all agree that the Mosley Pac is going to fight is still just as shot as the Mosley PBF faced? Or are some people going to argue that beating a 38 year old Mosley is a career defining win, while beating a 39 year old Mosley is the same as beating Freddy Hernandez? That the reason Mosley looked so bad is because PBF was so superior, but the reason he will look bad against Pac is because he turned 39.

Let's all give credit to PBF for taking the fight, but realize that the Shane he faced turned out to be a shell of his former self after 18 months out of the ring.

NOPE.
When you are going downhil, you go fast.

Think about the rematch of Jones Tarver...and the third fight. Or everything after.

Fighters don't age slowly...when you go, you tend to go fast.

That is where the old boxing adage of "aging overnight" comes from.

[Cash Cow]

lol..........

same explanation why marquez looked like a shell of himself.

SMH

It might be true, but one way or another it doesn't make Pacquiao look better.

Even if he was shot when he fought Floyd, most of the mainstream media wasn't opposed to that fight happening.
