Sugar Shane Mosley vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. Let's talk about the 2 fighters on what they bring to the table. Shane Mosley brins speed, footwork, decent footwork and power. Speed and power that is basically what shane brings in the table. His footwork is ok although not the best but it does pretty good. But speed and power is his main strenght.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has speed, decent power, excellent footwork and excellent defense and ring generalship. He is pretty much the full package. Mosley has more power than Mayweather.
How can you beat Sugar Shane Mosley? If you look back and think about the fighters who beat him. He was beaten 2x by Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright. Both of these guys have great boxing skills. He was beaten by Miguel Cotto also has pretty good boxing skills. Mosley gets beaten by boxers more than he does by aggressive fighters who just come forward and throw a lot of power punches.
The thing about Shane Mosley is that if you can outbox him then you can beat him. It takes all of his aggressiveness away.
A lot of people say that if he would have been a little bit more aggressive with Miguel Cotto then he could have pulled that fight off. But when you outbox Mosley it will kill his aggressiveness.
He likes to figure out a way to land his shots and he has to set him up so if you can outbox him and keep him off balance all the time with a good jab you kinda kill his aggressiveness.
So I think that best thing to do is to keep him off balance with the jab. Shane Mosley has been beaten by guys who have good jabs and throw straight punches.
If you look back Winky Wright and Vernon Forrest. They threw straight punches and they have pretty good footwork except for Winky Wright who comes forward. But he has good defense and threw straight punches. He threw straight punches right down the middle.
