every fight i watch mosley always wants to touch gloves excessively with the opponent as if hes saying lets be friends.. why dont you book a room with him after the fight while your at it
That was such a hard headbutt. And Vernon's punches were even harder lol. This was the first and only time I have ever seen Mosley get hurt that badly. He was totally out on his feet for a full 80 seconds.
george foreman is a great announcer that doesnt fabricate like merchant and lampley but we all know that no one and I mean NO ONE including manny pacquiao hit mosley as hard as vernon hit him with the body shots right hands and that uppercut. he was just old. I mean cmon he would have destroyed sergio mora around 2000
You mean to tell me Pacquiao hit him harder than Forrest did from 6:07-7:25?!! Get the f*** out of here!! Mosely threw the Pac fight plain and simple!!
@YUZO2kxx Mosley was scared of that right hand in the second fight........He circled out of harms way almost the entire fight....Vernon seemingly had his number and his style and size were too much for Shane. After this fight he visibly lost his confidence and had to gain an advantage with PED's. The rematch SUCKS!!!
@xxliljpxx yeah, it was before he had roach for a trainer, his old trainer starved him in a sauna a couple of weeks before the fight just to lower his weight. stupidity on pac's trainer.
mosley was knocked down by forrest, in this fight.take note that mosley was on his prime during this fight..gayweather was not able to do the same..though shane's toughness is now passed..this shows that gayweather's power is no match to vernon..
That's a pretty good tribute to Shane, I think. This was clearly a dangerous fight. Remember that this was when he was THE GUY. He could have avoided Forrest his entire life. But he's a guy that fights anyone. I really think he doesn't get enough credit for his chin. This was the only real knockdown of his career and that was a Martinez v. Paul Williams type punch that would put anyone else OUT. He was so fast back then!
haha mishaPactard i dont care about margarito, this is only big arums-top rank business since some years ago,,, you cant understand explanations of the prove and other truths bcause u are only a sick brainless fan of this arums mediatic circus of manipulation.... first go to learn about boxing, if you cant then visit ridiculous videos like this: "best boxing fight ever"..ROFL (specially for ignorant fans like you !!! : /watch?v=O8yoVL8gjxE
Because sometimes good technical fighters struggle against people who have a wild, unpredictable style. It also has to be said that Mayorga at welter was a huge puncher.
@JuanMiguel204 Probly true but there were other big fights were out there for him at that point, what I'm saying is that he fought him anyway later & fought everyone else that was great from his era, what more can you ask of a fighter
@MrRocketstar47 i dunt kno about that buddy, he could prolly beat him by unanimous decision but n not by knockout!! the only way to assume that if pac man fight floyd and puts him to bed! then we will kno, but i still believe if mosely fights mayweather again he could possibly knock him out cuz he almost did!!!! so that would be a close fight my friend!
@MrRocketstar47 Probably not by KO Shane is too strong but he can not take Pac Man's barrage of punches and powerful lead left and hook right we have seen Oscar do that to Shane and it has hurt him Pacquiao is too quick and with his array of punches he has all the tools to beat Shane probably for me 117-110 Pacquiao no Knockdowns no 10-8 rounds.
And , yes gentleman this is mosley before he was full of steroids. Dam bastard , cheater son of the bitch. You can notice the diference on him on this fight and
am i the only one who realized that when forest hit shane with that right uppercut he was sleep, but then when forest threw that left hook he woke him back up???? VICIOUS!!!!!!!
@goonookanooka.....I agree that his entire career was mismanaged now that I think about it. He shouldn't have fought Forrest at that time. shouldn't have went up to 154 to fight the bigger stronger Winky Wright....plus the rematch. he should have stayed at 147. besides beating Oscar Delahoya....who did he beat??? could have been so much better, but he wants to fight who is on top at the wrong times.. .. example...floyd mayweather...at age 37...com on..man...well at least he got big pay days
This is almost getting knock out and that Mosley-Mayweather second round. Mayweather didn't even get knock down but everybody acts like Mayweather almost got knock out. Forrest-Mosley second round was actually more of somebody almost being knockout. When Mosley gets knockdown twice I thought the refree was going to call the fight.
this isnt a pac video and isnt a mayweathe video piss off and mosley did go after floyd but floyd kept his composure twice and used the ropes and clinched
I gotta say .. it's nice to see . two individuals blog in a realistic perspective !!
you both make sense ... i personally , im not even that excited for pacman vs money may ...reason being ,, is floyd is on a entire diff level ... n pacquaio he's improved greatly ... great speed.. work rate ... but as a pro bout the guy is just too wild !!!
I put it in simple terms , didnt really break it down ..but what do u guys think ?
Shane looks alot faster here than he does now. Maybe if floyd fought this mosley it could've been a much more competitive fight even though he got his ass whooped by vernon.
i never understood why shane took this fight. it was in the f'ing theater at madison square garden, not the big arena, why fight the most dangerous contender when you're considered pound for pound number one in front of almost nobody, and not build it to a big fight? Shanes entire career was mismanaged.
@goonookanooka He took it cause he had beaten everyone more or less in his weight class, he had just beaten Delahoya, that division wasn't as rich with fighters as it became 5 years down the line...also Vernon had beaten him in the amateur....anyway I remember this fight, Shane was lucky it came with a min left or he would've been k.oed...his legs were gone, credit to him, he was a good fighter.
@goonookanooka Agreed. He took bad fights, against guys like Forest & Cotto, etc who were VERY hungry for glory. But that's Mosley. He just takes the fight as soon as it's offered. I never heard of a fight that Mosley turned down. But it was mismanaged. Someone should have been there to say, NO! You beat De La Hoya, you got the chips, you got the pocket Aces, you can fight whoever you want.
It's the century old boxing story of the pure fighter mentality in boxing that hurts their career.
@goonookanooka well it happens... I mean im sure mosley has or had what it took to beat Forrest it just turned out this way.. it happens.. its called a chance
@goonookanooka He was forced to take the fight after facing three gimmes of HBO. He had to choose between Forrest and Winky. In fact Vernon had baulked at the initial offer (this fight was scheduled to take place at the end of 2001), leading Mosley to negotiate with Winky instead. Winky wanted even more money on the basis of him being the champion (@154). Mosley was forced to go back to Forrest with a better offer. This was supposed to be a unification but Forrest was stripped during all this.
@goonookanooka yeah but that's what wrong with boxing today, one loss and everyone thinks your done? so bitch ass fighters won't fight the most dangerous and live opponents... Shane did it how it's supposed to be done.. take on all comers, most particular those that are the best and most dangerous as often as possible...
@goonookanooka At least he was prepared to take the risk, so credit to him for that. There are many fighters who spend their lives building up their records whilst fighting nobody of substance.
@goonookanooka Wow, excellent point! Now I see why Mayweather refused to fight Paul Williams not only was he not a big name like Vernon but dangerous fighter as well, and Floyd won't take the risk of losing to an unpopular boxer, Shane could have avoided this. And I knew Shane was going to lose!
@jwh1999 first of all the fight with williams will be just like he fought corrales to easy paul williams to be big doesnt fight big at all watch his fights u will see that and vernon fights big in all his fights thats the difference! floyd would destroy williams sorry
@goonookanooka I agree with you on most of what u said. Personally i think it was a good fight for Shane. I believe that if u are pvp #1 u should be fighting good fighters in there primes that are in your same weightclass. It seems that when these guys get to the top they start cherry picking ( yes i mean floyd and manny). Shane was the best and he tested his skills against a good fighter.
@goonookanooka what you mean you never understood? thats what real boxers are supposed to do. the venue the money the type of opponent shouldnt matter. its about who you fight now wwhat you fight for.
@goonookanooka That's was Shane's saving grace. This fight was so overshadowed by other fights and his win over De La Hoya. Shane is lucky this fight got so overlooked, he got his ass whipped, bad.
@goonookanooka Shane really meet anyone who wanted to fight him.. good or bad i dont know, but he really was a old school fighter were the best meet the best, to see who really was the best in the division.
well then how would you explain the rematch there was no head butt there. The truth is styles make fights shane cannot beat vernon end of story. Vernon beat him in the ammateurs, and he beat him both times in the pros. The head butt is no excuse especially since vernon's head was hit too.
@TheProjektcc At this point before the head butt Mosely was clearly fighting like as the best fighter on the planet. Look at the difference after the head butt. I see 2 completely different fighters. While styles do make fights i just think Mosely was on a different level coming into this fight.
My friend it was only one round!! Lots of boxers lose the first couple of rounds trying to figure out the opponent. I don't see what was so spectacular that made you think Shane was guaranteed to win until the headbutt. Especially since Forrest is known to be a slow starter.
And it still doesn't explain Mosley's loss in the amateurs or in the rematch.
Like I said styles, makes fights and this is just one style Mosley can't deal with. In the same way Forrest couldn't deal with Mayorga.
@TheProjektcc I always liked Forrest and may he rest in peace. Forrest did have the style to give Mosely trouble and I dont know what would have happened if the head butt did not occur. Mosely still may have lost. All I am trying to say is that at this point in their careers Mosely was on a different level.
RIP. I thought Forrest was going to win. He was a 7-1 underdog, should've put my money where my mind was. Mosley was koing everybody and Forrest was outboxing them so HBO backed Mosley and talked him up hence the good odds on Forrest, who beat him in the rematch too.
WTF... People who think Mayweather's gonna K.O Mosley are retards....
Maybe by decision but, If there is a K.O it's gonna be Mayweather who gets his ass K.O'ed I mean come on Gayweather.... 40 fights and only 25 K.O's ???? Are you fucking kidding me ? look at Pac-Man or Mosley's records dam
@mcentrac1 Floyd signed the deal for pacq and only asked pacq to take a blood test but because pacq is dirty he declined. At this time Floyd was 130 lbs when vernon and shane fought. By the time Floyd came up to the 147lb class Vernon was fighting at 160. Paul Williams is not all that good he is 6 ft 1 or 2 killing himself to fight little guys at 147. Cmon Floyd is fighting Mosley who fought cotto and lost a close decision. We'll see who is right after Saturday night.
pacman didnt agree to blood testing 14 days out but would submit to it 24 days out and also after the match. anyways i think pac is innocent until proven guilty.
PBF would never fight Forrest, Wright, Cotto. i'm glad the manny fight fell apart because after this fight other than manny who is going to make PBF money?He can't sell without a good B-side.
@16brandex well of course he wouldnt have fought vernon and winky. they are HUGE in comparison and can fight at 160. as for cotto, most ppl dont know that while PBF was with top rank, he wanted cotto when he was undefeated but Arum said cotto wasnt ready for him yet. Arum didnt want to damage Cotto with a loss and decline and lose value cuz he was raking in crazy money in NYC. a lot happens behind the scenes in boxing matchmaking.
@jacob3432 they're both fast but shane got that knock out power floyd jus be tappin n movin. one of them rounds i guarantee shane gonna hit floyd and have him stumblin
@BigJuan3134L i know waaaaay more about boxing then yo mexican ass. Ima amateur lightheavyweight. u probably jus a big fat lazy ass dat jus sit around eatin tacos wit beans n rice all day lmao
How the Fug Cotto Beat the Shyt outta Shane. Margarito beat the Shyt and Piss outta Cotto. But.....Shane beat the Shyt , Piss and Blood outta Margarito. The Fight game crazy as Shyt
the str8 right that shane got hit with in this fight @6:07 is the same punch he will more then likely get hit with by floyd. Being that floyd is the best in the biz at throwing the str8 right. I truly wish shane didnt have 2 fight money may bcuz i like boh fighters. 2 bad manny didnt take shane up on his offer to him!!! But we never hear about that all we hear is how floyd wants to do random testing. Shane agreed and may 1st it goes down!?!?!? WHO R U PICKING?
Yeah I think that they should've stopped the fight here because Mosley is obviously hurt bad. You can die from keeping fighting after you get a concussion like this and keep getting hit. Serious drain bamage.
mosley have been battle tested, mayweather havent. When mosley fought the forrest's, the cotto's and margarito's, shane come in as the smaller fighter. When shane fight mayweather, he will actually come in as the bigger fighter. Sure mayweather had great defense but he taste shane speed and power with body shots, that defense is not going to be there in the later rounds...trust me.
The ONLY reason Forrest was able to score those knockdowns was because of the headbutt. That butt was right on the temple and totally screwed up his equilibrium.
the early mosley was a knockout machine with a awkward kind of style.would have been a better fight with money may at feather weight.

Winky wanted even more money on the basis of him being the champion (@154). Mosley was forced to go back to Forrest with a better offer. This was supposed to be a unification but Forrest was stripped during all this.

@goonookanooka yeah but that's what wrong with boxing today, one loss and everyone thinks your done? so bitch ass fighters won't fight the most dangerous and live opponents... Shane did it how it's supposed to be done.. take on all comers, most particular those that are the best and most dangerous as often as possible...

@goonookanooka At least he was prepared to take the risk, so credit to him for that. There are many fighters who spend their lives building up their records whilst fighting nobody of substance.

@goonookanooka u right but thats what makes boxings so unique atleast he never duck anyone
but how was he P4P when he hasn't fought the best

@goonookanooka Wow, excellent point! Now I see why Mayweather refused to fight Paul Williams not only was he not a big name like Vernon but dangerous fighter as well, and Floyd won't take the risk of losing to an unpopular boxer, Shane could have avoided this. And I knew Shane was going to lose!

@jwh1999 first of all the fight with williams will be just like he fought corrales to easy paul williams to be big doesnt fight big at all watch his fights u will see that and vernon fights big in all his fights thats the difference! floyd would destroy williams sorry

@goonookanooka I agree with you on most of what u said. Personally i think it was a good fight for Shane. I believe that if u are pvp #1 u should be fighting good fighters in there primes that are in your same weightclass. It seems that when these guys get to the top they start cherry picking ( yes i mean floyd and manny). Shane was the best and he tested his skills against a good fighter.

@goonookanooka That's was Shane's saving grace. This fight was so overshadowed by other fights and his win over De La Hoya. Shane is lucky this fight got so overlooked, he got his ass whipped, bad.

@goonookanooka Shane had a good first round and probably would have won. He got completely unnerved by the head butt.

@DeDona1
well then how would you explain the rematch there was no head butt there. The truth is styles make fights shane cannot beat vernon end of story. Vernon beat him in the ammateurs, and he beat him both times in the pros. The head butt is no excuse especially since vernon's head was hit too.
TheProjektcc 9 months ago
@TheProjektcc At this point before the head butt Mosely was clearly fighting like as the best fighter on the planet. Look at the difference after the head butt. I see 2 completely different fighters. While styles do make fights i just think Mosely was on a different level coming into this fight.
DeDona1 9 months ago
My friend it was only one round!! Lots of boxers lose the first couple of rounds trying to figure out the opponent. I don't see what was so spectacular that made you think Shane was guaranteed to win until the headbutt. Especially since Forrest is known to be a slow starter.
And it still doesn't explain Mosley's loss in the amateurs or in the rematch.
Like I said styles, makes fights and this is just one style Mosley can't deal with. In the same way Forrest couldn't deal with Mayorga.
TheProjektcc 9 months ago
@TheProjektcc I always liked Forrest and may he rest in peace. Forrest did have the style to give Mosely trouble and I dont know what would have happened if the head butt did not occur. Mosely still may have lost. All I am trying to say is that at this point in their careers Mosely was on a different level.

RIP. I thought Forrest was going to win. He was a 7-1 underdog, should've put my money where my mind was. Mosley was koing everybody and Forrest was outboxing them so HBO backed Mosley and talked him up hence the good odds on Forrest, who beat him in the rematch too.

Maybe by decision but, If there is a K.O it's gonna be Mayweather who gets his ass K.O'ed I mean come on Gayweather.... 40 fights and only 25 K.O's ???? Are you fucking kidding me ? look at Pac-Man or Mosley's records dam

@mcentrac1 Floyd signed the deal for pacq and only asked pacq to take a blood test but because pacq is dirty he declined. At this time Floyd was 130 lbs when vernon and shane fought. By the time Floyd came up to the 147lb class Vernon was fighting at 160. Paul Williams is not all that good he is 6 ft 1 or 2 killing himself to fight little guys at 147. Cmon Floyd is fighting Mosley who fought cotto and lost a close decision. We'll see who is right after Saturday night.

PBF would never fight Forrest, Wright, Cotto. i'm glad the manny fight fell apart because after this fight other than manny who is going to make PBF money?He can't sell without a good B-side.
16brandex 1 year ago
@16brandex well of course he wouldnt have fought vernon and winky. they are HUGE in comparison and can fight at 160. as for cotto, most ppl dont know that while PBF was with top rank, he wanted cotto when he was undefeated but Arum said cotto wasnt ready for him yet. Arum didnt want to damage Cotto with a loss and decline and lose value cuz he was raking in crazy money in NYC. a lot happens behind the scenes in boxing matchmaking.

the str8 right that shane got hit with in this fight @6:07 is the same punch he will more then likely get hit with by floyd. Being that floyd is the best in the biz at throwing the str8 right. I truly wish shane didnt have 2 fight money may bcuz i like boh fighters. 2 bad manny didnt take shane up on his offer to him!!! But we never hear about that all we hear is how floyd wants to do random testing. Shane agreed and may 1st it goes down!?!?!? WHO R U PICKING?

mosley have been battle tested, mayweather havent. When mosley fought the forrest's, the cotto's and margarito's, shane come in as the smaller fighter. When shane fight mayweather, he will actually come in as the bigger fighter. Sure mayweather had great defense but he taste shane speed and power with body shots, that defense is not going to be there in the later rounds...trust me.
