Mosley That Will Fight Pac Is Tougher Than Mosley That Fought Floyd

[Sugar Sting Ray]

The Mosley that fought Floyd was 39 years old BUT was inactive for 16 months - a record for any Welterweight World Champion in History.

The Mosley that will fight Pacquiao is also 39 years old BUT he is active NOT rusty as in the case when Floyd cherrypicked him.

Pacquiao's victory over the 39 year old Mosley will be more significant than Floyd's win against the same 39 year old. The inactivity is the main issue, not the age since Mosley is essentially the same age.

Floyd cherrypicked him?if I remember wasent shane the one begging for the fight?stfu ya try an bash the guy everychance ya get

[MindBat]

As far as what's on the record, Shane begged Floyd for a fight, Pacquiao fans screamed Floyd was ducking him and was scared of Shane, Floyd agreed to fight him, Shane agreed to random blood testing, and the rest is history.

How is that cherry picking?

your math is really ****ty. How was Shane 39 years old on May 2nd, 2010 and 39 on May 7th, 2011. That simple fact right there just throws all your credibility out the window.

I was waiting for this thread, I knew it was coming but I didn't think it would be this soon.

I won't be surprised to see a more relaxed Mosley that doesn't gas after the 2nd. Inactivity and 2 back to back training camps didn't help Mosley...that said, he's old and no matter what, we can't forget he's done at the elite level.

time will tell, shane did not do **** against mora. so lets see.

[The Gambler1981]

I can see why Manny is a better stylistic match-up for Mosley as opposed to Floyd and Mora but that doesn't really mean current Mosley is better he just may be allowed to perform better.

Mosley could look very bad also though but I find the fight more interesting than most~
