Prime 147 Shane Vs Prime 147 Floyd

[IronDanHamza]

Sosa is not as good as Molina and Leija man. At any point.

Not sure I'd say the stage of their careers at 1998 they were that worthless of wins that they're on the same level as Sosa.

All 3 pretty much mean nothing.

I'd have taken them over the Sosa that fought Mayweather for sure. Sosa just wasn't good. He knocked down Spaddy a couple times, great. He never ever won a meaningful fight in his entire career.

Prime 147 Shane taxes Floyd! Shane was faster and had more power. He wouldn't have gassed after the 2nd round as he did in 2011 when he was old and well past his prime !

Sosa was ok. He was decent in the Spadafora fight he showed he wasn't a complete scrub.

Like I said it wasn't a good win it just demonstrates how **** those wins were for Shane at that point that's it's comparable to that fight.

All they were were names at that point. And the sad thing is they weren't even all that good in their primes.

It's pretty sad that a washed up Leija and a washed up irrelevant Molina are considered two of Shane's best wins at 135.

It show's how truly terrible his resume is at the weight.

I'd have taken Leija and Molina's resumes over Sosa's pre and post-Spadafora fight, hands down. And in H2H.

Why are we talking about Sosa

As would I. But they are still comparable at that stage of their career to Sosa which is the point. Sosa was in the Top 10. Molina wasn't and Leija was just about, having re entered.

We're talking about Sosa I assume to demonstrate the how awful Shane Mosley's resume is at 135.

[bojangles1987]

Funny, I think it's Floyd that's overrated in this tread. I remember Mosley jumped 2 weight classes to fight the best welterweight in the world. Not just a lineal champ that really wasn't that good of a fighter. But the best prime welterweight on planet earth. Not 2008 version of Oscar, 2000 version of Oscar

Oscar is overrated as hell by far too many people as well. Shane beating him was a very, very good win, but it isn't the equivalent of Duran-Leonard like people act sometimes. Also, 2008 Oscar? Floyd didn't fight Oscar in 2008.

Fck Sosa. 4corners is my boy but I think he was hyping Sosa for Floyd because he was "robbed" in the Spad fight (he wasn't).

Anywho, far too much has been read into this for what is a H2H thread, and not a resume thread.

[QUOTE=IronDanHamza;12026700]Why?

The one's Oscar fought are better, absolutely.

The irrelelvant, washed up ones Shane fought were about as good, if not worse.[/QUOTE]

Wow, we're finally coming full circle with this, you & I. The bold. I bring up that fact about the Oscar & Shane that Floyd fought & you hate. The Shane Floyd fought was relevant because of the Margarito fight. But it is a fact to anyone with eyes that see that he was washed up a ****.

Just like those fighters were relevant for Mosley at the time he fought them. Were they washed up? Maybe. But they were relevant. I'm almost stunned by this post. Coming from such high & mightyness. I'm tempted to sig this quote from you. I really am.

Oscar & Mosley were washed up as **** when Floyd fought them. By your logic, can we then assume that giving him the credit you do for those victories is a little tiny bit hypocritical maybe??

I don't think it was a robbery either but it was close.

Yeah, like I said originally I'd prefer'd to have seen Shane fight a good fighter at 135 before saying he could beat the likes of Mayweather.

He looked dominant fighting bums and washed up fighters.

The only time he didn't look as dominant was when he fought Holiday, which I presume we established was the best fighter he faced at 135 and I don't think that's coincidental.

Some with the style of Mayweather is, was and always will be a nightmare for Shane.
