    There's a interview right now on BT with John David Jackson who has recently trained Mosley in his last couple of fights before this past one.

    In it he says the same thing Ive been saying. There is also a writer that Ive read recently that said Mosley would win because of Shane's "power boxing".

    Power boxing is what Jack Mosley belives in and not too many guys in history have ever used. Power boxing is to throw nearly every punch with your full strength and to throw massive combos with full power. Thats why Shane has been so devastating.

    However like me, Jackson said that there is no way you will beat Floyd with power boxing. He said that you have to come into the ring with multiple game plans to beat a guy like Floyd because you might have to do something different to take him out his game plan.

    The bottom line is that Floyd is by far the more complete fighter and you wont beat someone who is a great talent with great defense like Floyd or Winky with power boxing and no defense. When you face elite guys like them with great defense then they know how to take away your strengths and you have to be able to adjust.

    Shane has never shown a ability to adjust, he fights the same exact way every fight all fight, and has no defense. Meanwhile Floyd was also super fast, also throws combos, is 10x better on defense, has shown numerous times a ability to adjust during a fight, and changes his style from fight to fight. Floyd is just the more complete fighter. He also throws straight punches while Shane throws looping punches.

    Shane will always look like the more exciting fighter but 90% of the time the more complete fighter will beat the one demesional guy every time

          Prime Mosley would have taken Floyd. They were very similar, but I think Mosley was a little faster and definately had more power. He also has a good chin, and has been in with bigger stronger guys. The only guys that gave him trouble were the taller longer guys with reach advantrages. I think Mosley at lightweight would have definately taken Floyd, may have evn knocked him out. Mosley was a monster at lightweight, and this is coming from a guy that isn't even a Mosley fan. I never really cared for him, but it's the truth.

            He was a monster but he also fought bums. He didnt fight the guys that Floyd fought at 130 or 135

              It sounds so dumb for you to say that he's only been fast in one fight. How does that make sense?

              You say Zab gave him problems but dont forget that Zab was a lefty and it took time for Floyd to figure him out. He couldnt do it the whole fight because Floyd figured him out and then he couldnt win another round.

              Also because Zab is a lefty, Floyd didnt really let his hands go at full speed or heavily commit to the punches. He knew that by Zab being a slick lefty with mad speed & power, that he couldve caught him with a blind punch and hurt him bad. Floyd fought with aggressive caution. Even with Zab's speed, if he wouldve been a righty then Floyd wouldve killed him.

              Ive never seen a guy get criticized as much for a pretty dominant performance over a top fighter on his best night. He didnt come close to winning one round after the 4th and he mightve been stopped if he didnt do the low blow.

              Also for speed, dont forget that it was only Floyd's 2nd fight at 147 and he came into the ring weighing 146. He clearly doesnt belong at that weight so you know that will make him slower but he's still able to beat those guys because of his skill level

                I think Floyd by UD. Mosley was never a great "boxer" by definition. He was a quick fighter with good power, but he never really mastered the defensive part of the game. Shane has always been there to hit for his opponents, when he won he would just hit them more. I think the speed variable is a wash and I think Floyd's defense is much better. Therefore I think Floyd wins a decision...not easily but comfortably. Mosley never really dominated anyone at 147... he beat Oscar but it was really close. He beat some average contenders and he lost to Forrest. I think a real prime Shane was at 135 but I think Floyd was even more dominant at that weight so it would be an easier fight.
