Is Mayweather vs. Mosley the ultimate flip flop in recent boxing history???

[thatdudespits]

I think Trout/Cotto was tbh. I mean when Floyd fought Cotto, Cotto was a beast. After Trout mirrored the act, Cotto instantly became shot. Seriously, like a millisecond after the decision was announced.

Its up there with:

Pac/Cotto..... "Pac will not be able to deal with Cotto's power and body punching"

Pac/Margarito..... "Margarito is just too big".


Only AFTER did the excuses of them being weight drained come about. Cotto weighed in 1lb less than his previous fight and stated after the fight that cutting weight wasnt the issue but instead it was Pac's speed. "I couldnt see where the punches were coming from".

Margarito was a career 147lb fighter so I dont see how he could have been drained by weighing in at 150 especially when you outweigh your opponent by 17lbs on fight night.

Oh, please. Pacquiao was favored and most knew that Margarito was not the same fighter at that point. I wont even get into 150 pound BS Pacquiao wanted for that fight. No need to lie for the purpose of making the win bigger than it was. Pacquiao would have never fought Margarito in his prime or a weight where Antonio was comfortable. To answer your question about the weight, Margarito never fought at 147 after the Mosley fight. That tells you all you need to know about it.

Wasn't Floyd favored to win that fight?

Yeah several credible posters were on that train.

I can't give Mayweather much credit for the Mosley fight. Everybody knows Mosley was shot, old, inactive. Perfect timing for Floyd, once again.

From the betting lines Floyd was a 2:1 favorite over Pac.

Same as Pac opened over Cotto for what it's worth.

There was only 1 fight in between the time marg fought Shane and Pac. You're speaking as if margarito was fighting at 154 for years prior to coming back down to face Pac at a 150 Catchweight fight. Lol

Odds is = risk taken by the fighter.
Mosley was not a big risk for Floyd (though i applaud him for taking it).

Even less so from what we now know after Mosleys performance vs. Floyd, Mora, Pac and Canelo.

I dont know what the hell your talking about. The only odds that matter are the betting odds. And Mayweather would be favored in every fight he takes. No matter whos in the ring with him.

It always happens, I think Floyd will finally get his dues 10 years after he retires.

before the fight Floyd fans said Mosley was too old... after the fight Floyd fans acted like Mosley was in his prime

What kind of odds do you think I'm talking about? Obviously the betting odds.

Mayweather was a 5:1 favorite over Mosley. Same as he was against Cotto and almost the same as Ortiz.
