Mosley vs. Mayweather and Mosley vs. Pacquiao

[trainhard_187]

Still the question remains, Why did Shane look better against Floyd then he did against Pac when Pacs style was supposedly tailor made for Shane?

looked better?he got shut out in both fights man..mannys aggression just put him on the defensive a bit more...

no need for stuff like this..both went in a did a job on shane...

That about sums it up, time took Mosley most powerful weapon.

The TS should ask himself where Mosley's right hand was, he used it against Mayweather, never even took it out of the holster for the Pac fight.

mosley refused to use the right hand cause he was scared of pac's straight left counter.

against wifebeater, there was no such concern for wifebeater's power as wifebeaters punches a little bit harder than paulie malignaggi

A losing streak actually takes your confidence away. When Shane fought Floyd, his last fight was knocking out Antonio Margario, he was a champion, he had confidence going into the fight. When he fought Pacquiao, he lost to matches in a row, was on the verge of retirement, and was just in the ring to get his payday, never wanted to engage or fight in the first place. Thanks!™

Great question bro, you really stumped the *****s with this thread!

I just watched parts of both fights again.

Mosley fought both opponents differently. Mosley was clearly on the offensive against floyd, but was almost entirely defensive against manny.

Mosley kept coming forward at floyd, making it easier for floyd to counter. Floyd didnt seem intimidated by shanes power, and was reluctantly caught twice by two big power shots. Yet floyd remained confident and stuck to his game plan. His speed noticeably outmatched shanes and was able to counter him effectively. At the same time, Mosley stood in front of floyd, coming forward, twitching, trying to find a power punch to land.

1 year later, Manny had mosley backing up the entire time. Mosley couldnt step into Mannys reach, and found himself taking at least 3 steps back when Manny countered with a flurry of punches. The 1st knockdown was a good example. After that KD, shane almost refused throw more than 2 punches in the pocket.

Who was more impressive? honestly, Mosley fought both guys differently. Mosley barely landed anything effective against Manny, and fought Manny thinking Manny was 7ft tall 280lbs. Floyd stuck to his gameplan and effectively outboxed mosley, who was willing to box in the first place. Mosley took more risks against floyd and stayed in the pocket more compared to fighting Manny. He had small success in the earlier rounds against floyd, and zero success against Manny. Just watch both fights, you decide.

Just your honest opinion...not a for or against....but you have someone coming from 106lbs and now knocking out guys who are 150....I mean the first Morales fight not soo much///makes me wonder what kind of chin Marrquez has (must be what he drinks)...can power be trained in the gym? no lost of speed but more power...I mean De La Hoya has a chin, Mosely has a chin, Cotto, Margarito and I mean he is just creaming them...is roach that good?

When one comes forward, and the other one runs away. Nothing else you can do


Observe the first 3 rounds, Shane got knockdown because he wasn't running. If he had done that during the later rounds, He would have gotten KTFO.
