I have stated how much I believe Manny or Floyd should fight Shane Mosley, and this is to say how and why he would beat both fighters and become the best boxer in the world.

I don’t think I have much trouble convincing a lot of you that Mosley would beat Mayweather, especially after hearing what you said after my first article about Sugar Shane. I respect Mayweather, and hope he gives Mosley a shot next and I honestly haven’t ever seen Mayweather avoid anyone, it’s just that he doesn’t decide to always fight the best, he was the one who called out Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya.

Shane is just as fast as Mayweather, and has a longer reach and is taller, and can sure punch a lot harder. Mosley is a hard working fighter, whom is dangerous for 12 rounds, and never gives up. Mosley does have some up and down fights, which can make his fights hard to predict, you just have go on the basics that he will be in peak form. Mayweather would be hard to catch of course, but non stop pressure from Mosley would soon make him crumble. Mayweather could only avoid Mosley’s onslaughts for so long and in between would get some crisp shots off himself. Mosley would control most of the fight, kind of like what De La Hoya did, but with more intensity and wouldn’t let up, and would take all his chances. Mosley would control the first 7 or 8 rounds, but Mayweather would sneak a few rounds in the bag and would end the better in an exciting end. But Mosley would be just too far ahead and despite Mayweather’s attempts he would lose out on a close to decisive decision.

Mosley-Pacquiao would be harder to make, but if it did, and if Mosley is fighting at 147lbs it should be a victory for Shane. Mosley has size, reach, power and strength and maybe would just be behind on foot and hand speed. Manny would cause Mosley plenty of problems, but Mosley will be harder to hit, and would be throwing more punches than Manny has ever seen. Pacquiao would give Mosley plenty of problems all fight but Mosley would be too big, and Pacquiao just wouldn’t be able to take advantage near the end. Mosley would prove his point of being the best boxer in the world by beating Pacquiao in a clear decision with many rounds being scored differently, in an entertaining bout.

So there is why and how Mosley will beat the two best boxers on the planet, and hopefully you will understand my reasons. I have no problem if you disagree, that is fair enough, we all have opinions, let’s just wait and hope these fights plan out.
