Mosley explains why he lost to Pacquiao

[lagako10]

i wonder what excuse Floyd has in store

hahahaha

C'mon Brut, you don't really think Mosley was at his peak when he fought Floyd do you?
He'd been on the slide for years by then.
I also think the margarito win is a bit deceiving, Antonio just got caught ltrying to load his gloves before the fight, hrs head would have been all over the place.
That being said I think hi style would always suit Shane

I didn't read Brut's post about Mosley being at his peak, but will say that at the time Floyd fought Mosley, Pacquiao and his team turned down the chance to fight Mosley several times, even at 140. Roach and Arum said no way would Floyd fight Mosley. He did. Then they said Mosley was not the same, then they manned up and fought Mosley a year or so later.

So anyway, Mosley was not at his peak, but was I think a year younger than Floyd is now, and was the #1 ranked welter? Correct me if I am wrong on that.

OUCH!!!

I will say this tho.

Floyd fought a Shane coming off what turned out to be his last big win.

Pac fought him coming off a draw with Sergio Mora, the same Mora who went on to lose 2 of his next 3 fights (both to journeyman Brian Vera).

For the record, I never stated Shane was at his peak when he faced Floyd or Cotto, I did say he wasn't "past it"!! Those are two different things, I also went on and illustrated how Mosley wasn't "past it" and it shut the idiot Ricky down because he has yet to come back with a tangible post that disproves his theory of Shane being "past it".

I wouldn't have never argued that Shane was near his prime when he faced Floyd, we all know he wasn't but we all also know that Mosley flat out ducked the fight with Floyd immediately after his last win over Vargas when asked by Merchant if he would fight Floyd.

Unlike Floyd, Manny flat out ducked Shane after he KO'd Margarito even though they made a stipulation that Mosley needed to drop to 142 to get the fight and when Shane agreed Roach said this "Shane is too dangerous". So they waited until after Floyd whupped him easily and Mora fought and exposed him in a life or death bout before they finally decided to take him after that, easily one of the biggest Cherrypicking Ducks fights ever.

In the previous 14 fights before floyd, Shane had 5 loses, 1 NC and 8 wins, mora was the only fight between the floyd and pacquaio fights, mora came in 3lb heavy for that fight, meaning at the start of the fight mora could have been6-10 lb heavier than Mosley, fair chance that if mora made weight for that fight Shane could have stopped him, that being the case, to say Shane was a shell of his former self while fighting pacquaio compared to he was pretty good fighting floyd is an exaggeration, SFW you were spot on with the scorecards and there was only 1 second left in the fight when Mosley stopped him

Mosley was the #3 pfp guy when Floyd fought him, and a guy that team Manny wanted nothing to do with, and that is well documented. I think Floyd took a lot out of Mosley in that fight confidence-wise. When you hit a guy with your biggest shots and he comes back to dominate you, it makes you lose some confidence. I think Pac would have beat him anyway, but just pointing out even after Mosley called Roach's bluff, even to drain to fight at 140, they still walked away. Roach and Arum said no way would Floyd fight Mosley. Mosley tried to win vs Floyd, and tried to survive vs Pac.

Dumb ass Troll, why are you trying to ruin a thread about Mosley and Pacquiao by bringing up Floyd? (rhetorical).

You are simply trying to incite a flame war, go grow a brain idiot or get on topic and stop ruining threads with your lame ass hate.
