  |  Re: Felix Trinidad vs. Shane Mosley IMO Sugar Shane has a slightly better record at the weight than Tito, that coupled with his immense speed gives him the SD for me.

| Re: Felix Trinidad vs. Shane Mosley I think this would be a close decision either way. Shane's too skillful and fast to be knocked out but I don't think he could knock Tito out. So I think it would go 12, and if it did it would mean a fantastic fight, I couldn't see this being one sided either way.

Did you just infer Shane Mosley could be knocked out by anyone LESS than a light heavyweight?!?! Maybe that's a stretch, but when has this man's chin EVER come into question. Who's the only guy to put him down, Vernon Forrest? That was an undefeated Forrest in his Prime who LIT HIS ASS UP, but he got up and he easily finished the fight. Today this fight could never happen cuz Tito refuses to even get down to 160 (which would have got him a fight with Oscar). BUT, back when these names ruled the Welterweight and Junior Middleweight division, I'd have to say...SD, and I have no idea which way it would go. Shane doesn't protect his head enough and gladly stands right in front of the other guy...he's impervious to being damaged so he just doesn't seem to care. That's a bad move for fighting Tito, who's entire arsenal is straight punches. Both fighters would get hit...a lot. Either could be getting off the floor at any given time too, shoulda/woulda/coulda happened type of fight. Can only dream now... | |

SSM has a great chin but we';ve seen him hurt in the past at 147. Forrest hurt him a few times and Oscar had him buzzed (not badly) once or twice. Tito hit harder than both. I agree that there would most likely be no knockout for either guy but its not to far of stretch to say Tito (who was a beast at 147) could have stopped Shane.

| Re: Felix Trinidad vs. Shane Mosley Forrest landed combinations on Shane Tito never could. Tito barely hits harder than Vernon. ....I don't remember Oscar buzzing Mosley, I however do remember Mosley buzzing Oscar. Mosley is just caught off balance sometimes cuz he's light on his feet and fights with his chin so high in the air it's like he's asking to be knocked out... Pretty much a miracle the man has never been knocked out, one of the best chins of all time.
