Mosley’s saying if he beats Vargas in the rematch, he wants PBF next. Rumors are swirling that Delahoya may be looking at Tito instead of PBF for his next fight. So if PBF then chooses Mosley to beat next, this would be a lopsided loss for Sugar Shane. The old, pre-Vernon Forest Shane might have beaten PBF. But this one punch at a time guy that Mosley has become would get beat worse than Judah did.
PBF, please skip over Mosleyland and go straight to Hattonville.
he wont beat him, basicaly
hes too old, too slow
vargas had the batter of him, he wants it more
This actually would be a harder fight than Judah..because Shane at 147 will not throw one punch at a time…he’s way stronger than judah and would actually hurt PBF if he lands…this fight would be extremely close even now with shane at 34…he’d tear Judah a new asss and knock him out..shane has too much power and strength for judah…Shane is P4P the strongest fighter in the sport…was benching 400lbs when he was 147…
Exactly .
Floyds never met a man as afast and who hits as hard as sugar Shane and Floyds already been floored and been outpointed ( both not officially against Judah and JLC )
A prime Mosley destroys PBF with ease but if they fought now it would be a close 1
“A prime Mosley destroys Floyd with ease”? - Where do they find you people? If PBF ever loses, it won’t be “with ease”!! And “Mosley’s p4p the stronger fighter in the sport”? Where you getting that from? So he benches 400 lbs. If he’s so strong why does he have like one KO in the past 5 yrs?
A Prime Mosley at 135 would beat Floyd.
A “prime” Mosley at 147 would get beat. Because he gave up his form to try to look spectacular and get knockouts, and thus opened up holes in his defense and boxing style that someone like Vernon Forrest took full advantage of and Mayweather would have too.
Shane right “now” has a better chance against Floyd because of the fewer flaws he possesses and little things implimented into his style that could frustrate Mayweather.
I think Mosley now has a better chance to beat Floyd then he did in his “prime” at 147.
I gave you a CC, Starr, cuz I agree with most of your post. But I dont agree Mosley has abetter chanxce now than in his prime at 147. Nowadays, he throws one punch at a time, doesnt move his head as much, just aint the same fighter. Guys trying to get a KO will get beat by PBF everytime.
IMO, at 147, in his prime, Mosley was one of the most complete fighters of the past 20 yrs. Power, speed, combinations, he had it all. Now. . . . .
IWO, the best thing that Floyd can do is go back to 140.
I just don’t dig on his chances against all these bigger boys & even though I don’t dig on Mosley…he’s a superb fighter, he’s fast, & he’s got some power.
I am not a believer in all this hopping in weights…but I do believe that Floyd was faster & more effective from the 130ish to 140 range.
Well Mayweather would shut Mosley out if they fought now and box his way to a one sided decision…although a prime mosley-mayweather would be a great fight.
Agreed. I think he was best at 130.
And I dont care what anyone says. Today, he’ws no. 1 p4p. But he shouldn’t be undefeated. Castillo got jerked in their first fight.
And I agree, too. PBF would dominate this version of Mosley.
I never said he’d beat him…I said it would be a much tougher fight than Judah…because Shane is so strong…he wouldn’t be discouraged by being tapped all night…and he’s got more than enough power to hurt PBF…I think PB would win…but i guarantee it would be waaaaay tougher than Judah…and i said he was p4p the strongest not the most powerful…that’s why he’s so bulky…he’s got a lot of strength for his size and he’d take floyd punches with ease..not to mention he doesn’t have KO’s because he’s fighting bigger guys…when he fights someone at 147 or below or again..he will knock them out…if he hurt Winky with one punch…rest assured he will hurt anyone at 147 or below if he lands…
Friend, he “stunned” Winky. He didnt “hurt” him. Theres a big difference in those two words.
And if he’s so “strong” why was Vargas able to push him whereever he wanted?
No he wasn’t benching 400 llbs… thats bs. Also Judah didn’t throw one punch at a time, and he is faster than Shane was even in his first fight with ODLH.
He could bench 400 for two reps..I saw it with my own eyes..he maxed out at 400lbs if you don’t believe it check maxboxing workout archives… and I don’t what you were looking at but judah would get KTFO had he made it to a fight with Shane at 147 or below shane had too much power…and i guess it was the air that caused Vargas’ head to swell…
Winky wright addressing Shane ability to bench 400…

If they were to fight now,I think Mayweather would beat him easily. I don’t know, I just did not see anything threatening about him against Vargas and I back Fernando to win the rematch.I did not see that many explosive combos,the movement etc.
As shane has gone up in weight he like most fighters believes that he can punch harder…so he focuses on one or two punches at a time..even floyd doesn’t throw as many as he used to…esp with shane being able to lift so much, he thinks that translates into being able to punch harder, but if he dropped weight he would throw combinations again…and a fight with PBF at 147 would be much tougher for PBF than wack-asss Judah…because shane would be motivated and the underdog at a reasonable weight and everything to gain…154 is too high for shane…the same as 160 was too high for Mayorga…
I dont think so, Shane has fast hands and ok power, he also comes forward, the Three things that Myweather couldnt handle until Zab started folding.
Would have loved For Shane after beating DLH to move down to 140 and fight Kostya Tszyu
. . and who da f** are you , Nostrodamus ? How do you know Floyd will never lose with ease . He hasnt fought at the highest level yet like Shane has .
Mosley in the last 5 years has bee fighting 3 divisions above his natural weight . As a lightweight he had the highest k.o percentage of any world champion . Floyd cant even break an egg with his punches . How many times was he hitting chinny Judah clean and he couldnt even wobble him ?!
