Does a 23 year old Mayweather beat a prime Mosley??

[J The UnBiased]

a shot to bits mosley coming off a 2 year lay off, nearly knocked out a prime mayweather, he was one punch away

imagine what a prime mosley would have done to floyd?

there was a reason floyd ducked mosley until he was shot

Why are you lying?

Shane Mosley has always thrown looping punches with that superb hand-speed, too. So, yes, their hands could have been just as fast but Mayweather has always thrown more straight punches.

Matter of fact, since just about everyone going for Mosley has him knocking Mayweather out, I actually think we're in agreement. Mosley has the same puncher's chance that he had when they fought. If that chance never comes, he gets outboxed over 12.

Mayweather does not go into the ring with a prime Mosley (or any other fighter in their prime for that matter). He left how much "Money" on the table with a Pac fight? I think he has what it takes to beat a prime Pac but for some reason he wants nothing to do with him. Don't say it the drug test because that's not a hurdle.

I don't know but that would have been one hell of a fight.

I like the Kostya Tsyzu vs Mayweather fight better

Well, he wanted a prime Mosley in 1999 and Sugar turned him down. Then he wanted Shane in 05-06, and Sugar turned him down.

I told you to change your name to "Biased" .... you proved it again here

Floyd said what he said in 2000 time-frame because he knew that Mosley would be up a division or two to fight Oscar. So he could bark as loud as he wants because he knows that fight is not happening.

Sure he wanted Shane in 2006 even though he said I don't in late 2006 to 2009. There are video clips of Floyds saying "I don't want to fight Mosley....." and Mosley calling Floyd out many many times!

Why don't you stop lying, lmao. Good God!

Time to back up your statements ...... GO!!!

I can show you many many video clips but the best proof is go check out when they fought. In the middle of 2010 when Mosley is OLD and inactive. I'm sure that Mosley was waiting for himself to be old, right? NO!!! It was Floyd who made sure that the advantages are on his side and Ellerbe approved that fight knowing full well.

Floyd said "My game plan will take into account that Mosley is now OLD!!!"

Stop lying to the masses. Floyd always wanted to fight Shane. Just stop with the lies, lmao. You have me cracking up!

So Floyd just had a virtuoso performance against a stocky Canelo with slow feet and now people are saying he would have beaten a prime Mosley? Come on man!

While its true that Shane's "boxing IQ" doesn't match up to Floyd's (nobody does), a prime Mosley had every other ingredient to give Mayweather pure hell. Great chin, vicious body attack, great hand & foot speed, awesome power, heart & balls (first DLH fight as evidence). Your'e not gonna beat Mayweather by outboxing him. You have to force exchanges.

Let's not forget that Floyd's first fight at lightweight came against JL Castillo. Floyd backpedalled the whole fight and almost lost a close decision. Castillo had the chin and body attack necessary to trouble Floyd but the speed differential made a Castillo win too difficult. A prime Shane would've been all over Floyd. Sure he would've taken some jabs and counter rights, but as mentioned before Shane has a great chin (still does) and heart & balls.

At the time both Floyd and Shane were fighting on HBO but Shane was more marketable and Floyd was quickly becoming hard to deal with, calling his HBO contract, "slave wages" (remember?). Shane would have gotten the edge on the scorecards for being the aggressor, coming forward, and being more marketable. Shane by dec.
